Of course it rained again this morning...

@kwc, I don’t see anything about this game in that link?

Oops ... my mistake. I could have swore they had a capsule on this game. Sorry about that. It's the CA's oversight. I just went back to the article to make sure I didn't mess up, sure enough, they don't mention this game. Wow.

Shelby Metro Sportsblog's capsule on this game below:

 

St George's (5-6) at CPA (11-0)


This is the first meeting ever between the two teams. The Gryphons are coming off a thrilling 49-48 victory over Harding Academy in the opening round and will have their hands full with the Lions. CPA features 2 Mr. Football semifinalists in Noah Henderson (63 catches, 1061 yds 9 TD) & Kane Patterson (12 rushing TD, 40 tackles, 7 TFL, 3 sacks). They have dominated their opponents this year averaging 40 pts/gm. Their closest game was a victory over Pearl Cohn 18-14. No other team has come within 10 pts of them.

If the Gryphons want to advance to the semifinals, they are going to need a repeat performance from Timber King. King rushed for 212 yds & 2 TD & caught a TD pass as well in the opening round victory. QB Spencer Smith has had an exceptional year, throwing for over 2200 yds with 23 TD & only 3 interceptions. The winner will play the winner of the ECS-Lausanne game next.

half time 49-7, no running clock and just enough wind to make it miserable at 38 degrees. CPA scored on opening kickoff and was never stopped. St Georges only had 25 kids  dressed. King looks good and so do 2 Smiths, but CPA is better at every position. Ugly game for refs. Field was dried today but still mud fun for everyone. Noah Henderson had two looong TD's. Patterson and Madden ran at will, no Sam West who is still ankle injured and not dressed.. St Georges did a good job motion and scheming to get CPA defense discombobulted, especially safeties who left middle of field open for slants and skinny posts. Big deal and much needed for CPA to have Stubblefield back kicking. I left at half because it was more misery than I was willing to take. Total domination by  Lions as expected.

    • Did this happen? Does anyone know? Ripley has their HC job posted on the bulletin board over the weekend.
    • Coalfield definitely isn't the same team they've had the past few years. They are still the favorites to make it out of their region because of their pitching. They have 1 arm that sits low to mid 80s and 2 other arms that are mid to high 70s with good off speed stuff. If you can avoid their top 3 bats in their lineup then you have a shot to beat them. Their 4-9 hitters are average at best. Wartburg's ace was able to shut them down last week in the game Wartburg won 4-2. 
    • It is the longest season. Plus, 30 games a year. No Christmas break. I would say basketball is the most time consuming. 
    • No movement on Chester? South Gibson? Gibson County?
    • Winfree's senior year was the season she needed to secure more college interest. That opportunity was taken away from her. A lot of false assumptions can be made about what happened and what the options are. Unfortunately, the former coach and administration did not allow Winfree to have due process. A lawsuit was filed for a reason, and it will run its course by people who conduct discovery and take depositions. Unless the parties settle out of court, a lot of the pertinent issues will come to the public surface. I wrote about many of the issues here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/11/17/grounds-for-investigation-and-suspension/ I interviewed Winfree after she was dismissed from the team and wrote about it here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/12/01/a-new-interview-with-sable-winfree/ Winfree had been on teams in Warren County since the fourth grade and never been dismissed from a team. The real questions are why was Winfree dismissed from the team, and why the administration backed a coach whom they did not rehire.
