3A BlueCross Bowl: CPA vs. Alcoa

I think the issue most MidTn people have with CPA or NCS is that they take alot of the good talent from the area and then beat up those teams with their own kids. If those teams were in DII nobody would care. Its tough to build a good support system if the privates take your best players, put them in a great off season program and then destroy you in a region or playoff game.

It's that time of year for someone to present the fact that 17 or so of the starters were at CPA in kindergarten... I'm too lazy and that Sportsnerd dude isn't around... Afterward someone will say, "What about basketball???" in the football forums.... Etc. Etc.

 

There are lots of good public school teams near CPA that I think wouldn't say CPA would destroy them - Independence, Ravenwood, Centennial, Hillsboro, Pearl Cohn (yeah, I know we beat them in the regular season)...

 

I still think the majority of MidTN that have a problem with CPA are those that don't even play CPA. Or those CPA have played that say craziness like "that's the best team money can buy", yes, I've overheard this twice because our restrooms are near the visitor sidelines... Have they not heard of Ensworth, BA, or MBA??? We are below the poverty line in comparison!

I have been known to state my opinion about the public / private / open zone deal probably way too much over the years. What I am wondering though is, at this point, why does it matter? Not that anyone doesn't have a right to opine about what ever they wish on the T, but with the new TSSAA plan for 2016, isn't the issue (for D1 privates) pretty well decided and separated? I can't imagine any of them doing away with the discount they provide for multi child families, which is what the TSSAA is hanging their hat on. Am I missing something? Isn't this a debate over an issue that has already been decided?

I spoke to a private school parent at the state soccer tournament who said they would have to go D2 because they had many parents who helped out at the school and that this would no longer be allowed under the new rules.

I don't doubt that a lot of those kids have been there. I don't coach anymore so I'm going strictly off of what other coaches/friends have told me. On another forum someone said that kids that went to East Hickman now play for NCS. I'm sure that CPA has a few freshman and sophomores that came from other middle schools. Even if kids that come from other schools to CPA or NCS don't actually start they do help with overall player depth. Which helps with injuries. Things schools like East Hickman have troubles with. CPA has a great coaching staff that could help with any young player. So I see why a kid would want to go there. I've enjoyed watching CPA play during the playoffs. They play hard and don't make many mistakes. I'd like to see #45 have a good game this weekend. Really tough kid! But I still think Alcoa will be too much

Haha poor BC. You got what you wished for. CPA will be too much through the air for you guys.

 

I say 17-7 CPA. Good game though.

 

As far as going to CPA both my HS kids are happy living on the lake and at their school. Ingle would love for my son to be there, or so he says, and my daughter is known in basketball and soccer by their coaches. Good school but too far from the lake life. :)

 

Cant wait for the rematch. Should be a good one.

"Ingle would love for my son to be there, or so he says,"

 

Glad no recruiting is going on at CPA!

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
