CA's parking is rough but I love the field

[Raiderforlife]

I give props to Summertown for win last Friday didn't see that coming. 

Things are about to get a lot tougher for them, as they play CA, Forrest, and LC back to back to back.   A lot people are ripping them for being excited.  Heck if I was a 4 year program that went 1-9 last year, and beat WC, I'd be a little excited too.  I know of several schools around that are happy just to be 1-1 right now. 

I've been around this area for a long time.  I don't have a dog in the fight, but I can remember a lot of the other teams that are bashing Summertown for their facilities not having such great facilities many, many, many years ago.  I read where most of their facilities have been done by private donations and nothing from the county or BOE.  Like I said, I've been around long enough to remember Forrest before the new field, when they played on the tractor pull field and didn't have the dressing room that was built there.  I remember CA parking on the hill before it was a parking lot, and people getting stuck there as well...lol.  And way before they had the "AWESOME" new home side or even the visitor concession and bathroom.  Wayne County when they played on their baseball outfield.  So even though I have no ties to Summertown, I give them some props, as two years ago I remember when Richland went there, they dressed in Fireworks tents and concessions were in a utility shed.  I haven't seen it, but someone told me they actually have locker rooms now with air, and a concession stand.  Still have porta potty and of course still parking in grass, and no big bleachers, but if this is true, they have come a long way in three years if done by private citizens with no BOE help or County Money. 

Now as far as this region goes, I see it has CA winning the region by a 2 TD margin against everyone they play in the region "If" they can stay healthy.  I believe Forest and LC will play for second and third.  Eagleville will finish 4th but has the potential to possibly upset Forrest or LC.  Community and Summertown are about equal at 5-6 but both 2 TD minimum below CA, Forrest, LC, and Eagleville.  Loretto isn't real far behind both of them.  A lot can happen with injuries, turnovers, etc on any given night, but just what I think.

Totally agree.

Can't argue based on what we've seen so far. Certainly hope Forrest has a chance. We did last year..we were up 6-0 in the 4th. They will say they are better than that game this year. I think we are too.

CA has been pretty dominant so far to start of the season, but I don’t think they’re anywhere near where they’re gonna be come week 8 or 9. This is one of the most talented CA teams I’ve seen so far. The running back Tre will be an easy contestant for Mr Football and the QB is one of the best athletes you’ll see at this level. Committed to play baseball for UT as a freshmen and can sling that football. The only weakness that I can see with them so far, which really isn’t a weakness, is the line which isn’t quite as good as it has been the past few years. This is just because they are young for the most part and still developing.

This reminds me of the MTCS/Justin Winn folks in 2014 and the Watertown/Ty Love folks in 2016. 

Don't underestimate The Rock.

How so?  Just getting in and out?  Visiting fans park almost at the bleachers.  Heck if you are early enough you can park and sit in your car and watch from many spots.

I don’t think anyone is underestimating Forrest. But us CA fans every reason in the world to once again be confident that we will win the region without a single loss.

Is CA moving into the new classification next season?  If so, how will it affect the Region?
