Fun game day fact: CPA and Lausanne have never played but Coach Locastro and Coach Martin have...

Locastro was coaching Christian Brothers and Ingle was leading an undefeated MBA in the 1999 championship game. Ingle was named MVP with 170 yards passing and 3 rushing TDs. MBA’s running back is also the current coach of ECS. 

Didn’t realize Ingle was the QB of that squad, very interesting fact! Good luck tonight, BreadTruck. As I said in the other thread, I’m just hoping for a great injury free game that I hope the Lynx can pull out!

if you were reading a racing form, the track is fast sloppy definitely not muddy which means speed holds up for thoughbreds.  Went by to look today when picking up my daughter and field looks just a little dark meaning water in the ground but no mud anywhere.  Eric Gray advantage because speed wins on slop not a mudder. Kane has looked like a mudder all year, strange regression from when he was a FR. Noah Henderson will be very, very dangerous tonight. Best sprinter on a non-remarkable CPA track squad. CPA has 31 seniors who have been together for 4 years with no additions. Next truly good CPA team is 7th graders who are undefeated vs everyone inc BA and MBA.  2023 will be best CPA team ever.  Just saying as Booger would put it, that this CPA team has no recruited additions to the high school.  I have had a few conversations with CarltonFlatt who epitomized the start em  in the system approach and he thinks Ricky Bowers is the best coach TN has ever produced which is more relative to the LA job and how much Ricky is worth. Only related game point is that Ingle Martin has more Ricky in him than Spurrier.

I'm thinking it will be Lausanne winning based on what I saw when they played Whitehaven on stream. One thing I mentioned was CPA K is back and on target and probably good from 45 yards tonight, how good is Lausanne K?

Sam West is still dinged but Andrew Madden should do well tonight to keep the CPA ground game going. McCormick at TE is finally wholly healthy and really pumped.  Cold and heavy football, so CPA passing advantage probably equalized.  Blocking and tackling will be the key to winning.  CPA OL gettting better but DL is not and that is important because they gotta protect 4 (Kane) and McCormick (17) to make LB tackles on Eric Gray. CPA has Two good tacklers in seconday in S Sam Ellis and CP Payne Trapnall, the rest is iffy if Gray is to the second level quick.

Definitely a fair field to play the game from what I sat at 3 pm. Lausanne should squeeze by into cold Cookeville.  Looks like we traded Lausanne for our old nemesis Alcoa. Feels like that matchup to me and that means Lausanne would win 2 out of 3 times.

Congrats to you BT! Go get that ring! Every dad should have the opportunity to see their son win one.

Thanks man!  It was somewhat surreal seeing the time run off at the end with fog rolling in... A special embrace between father and son on the field. More work to do for sure... Looking forward to the next two weeks.

    • You defend your little buddy bsatt like it’s the end of the world just as much. Why don’t you go on to Upperman with him this summer… you know he is your “BEST MAN”. 
    • No sir. Not staying at East. But definitely not going to Elizabethton. 
    • Football and basketball coaches should not be making 100,000 not teaching any classes unless their winning state championship every year lol
