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.

    • Lol! I was being a bit facetious. 
    • Way late on this post, but I do believe that I want to at least weight in so to speak lol. I wrestled NAIA competed against some of the best wrestler over all a crossed the divisions and felt great about my college wrestling experience. I think people make the mistake in believe that wrestling some how gets easier as a sport at the smaller college divisions it doesn't the training is mostly the same. I have that on good authority from a coach who was a D1 all-American. it's more the commitment level of the competitors that is different. There is talented wrestlers that can go D1 at any level in the smaller division. sub in Sammy Shires for one he would have done fine on a DI team. He chose a work life ratio that suited him. It's not about talent it's commitment are you going to make training and studying the sport the center of your world cause that's what it takes: NO MATTER HOW TALATENTED BEFORE HAND YOU ARE.  If so then D1 is for you and striving for success at that level is for you like Mr. Palmer said it's what your willing to put in. Now coaches if you have a successful wrestler who fits that bill then by all means D1 is a great option they will see some success no matter how small, but if they are not that committed along with being talented and a killer and you know it then your doing them wrong.  You don't have to tell athletes that you don't think they are D1 tell them to keep their options open to take all their visits to consider all the divisions regardless of their goals. college recruiting visits have you most times wrestle against their current wrestlers coaches and athletes  will find out real quick it's not easy no matter where you go. That way when they make their decision it's a sound one that's based on well rounded experiences.     BobCorker, and oceansize42 I believe what you are thinking is correct but for different reasons. TN wrestler's have the talent... it's a commitment level change. TN wrestlers aren't used to having to put themselves through the level of commitment required and kills them on the D1 level.    WrestlingGod, I agree you should push kids to pursue their dreams, but not at the cost of common sense period... we have to much of that going around this country already. Dreams can turn to poison when these wrestler are not educated on what it truly takes. In TN  a kid who understands wrestling to a high level can be successful with small amounts of hard work. They think their definition of hard work is enough for D1 that is the mistake not the "talent/understanding".  Over-all though we do not celebrate NAIA,D2,D3, or Juco success in this state like other states do. GA/AL celebrates all it's college wrestlers success a crossed the  board no matter the division. Why? because it's hard... I have gone to all the divisions National championships let me tell you to be a all-American at any is impressive especially D2 or NAIA. those guys can scrap and not one of those AA's are an easy match. all of them were state placers or champs multiple times in their high school careers. does that at all sound easy to place at? TN does not give those guys enough credit or shout outs period. it's an over sight because of this D1 or it's less than meaningless   mentality on this site and in this state. GA/AL is better then us on the highest stage because they send guys to D2,NAIA,D3 ect. they come back understanding the sport better then their pervious coaches, and give back and that cycles to athletes readiness to go D1 with clearer understanding of what it takes to be competitive day 1 freshman year.             My post isn't to support one way or the other but to just consider that both sides have merit and that both work when the system in TN. by system I mean coaches are the better educated on preparing athletes for each level they want and should pursue.
