its came alive....so ECS ant what the middle thinks it is

Booger just sayin :mrgreen:

I’d rather see a rematch in the final game between CPA / ECS, but I think star studded BGA might pull an upset...  

I’m generally against making any predictions, but the grand prize for Booger’s Gold Ball Pickin’ Contest makes it hard not to throw your thoughts and hopes out there!

So you must think Knox Grace would beat Lipscomb by worse than 50-7

I'll have to give this some thought, as I'm not all that familiar with some of these teams. And I'm not sure how fair it is to judge Chattanooga Christian based on their games with McCallie and Baylor that I saw doing broadcast prep.

Grace Christian (Knoxville) is the East #1 seed at 8-2. But I have no idea what to make of their 61-7 loss at South Doyle in week 2. How did a team that is otherwise 8-1, with only a 9-7 loss to a good Christian Academy of Knoxville team among eight wins, get housed like that?

There isn't video in the usual places online for that game. And while Elijah Young (Mizzou commit) had 13 carries for 213 yards and 3 TDs for CAK, that doesn't explain the rest of it. Or why Grace Christian only had one home game out of its first seven.

ECS vs. BGA in the quarterfinals would be an interesting matchup. Tough draw for 9-1 ECS, a talented squad whose only loss came against the 10-0 Houston Mustangs, a Division I-6A team. There is also the dynamic of BGA's head coach being Jonas Rodriguez; he was the head coach at ECS the previous two seasons.

I realize that BGA is 7-3, but the three losses happened when QB Nick Semptimphelter was dealing with a thumb injury. Semptimphelter is the most mechanically sound high school QB I've seen in person in quite some time, and he doesn't make many mistakes.

And while BGA is vulnerable against the run and ECS has a very strong rushing game, BGA's pass defense is great. If BGA gets an early lead, it could be a problem for ECS.

I'm with Boog in thinking ECS is the favorite to win it all, but such things are never a certainty.

Lipscomb Academy is one of the few II-AA teams I've seen in person in 2019. Coach Dilfer is a year away there IMO. I'll see LA again next year, this time at their place when they host Father Ryan, and I anticipate them being improved in 2020.

Not that Lipscomb won't win at Boyd -- they might. I would love to see the Knox Grace version of the highlights of their 50-7 win over Boyd, but Knox Grace doesn't have its 2019 recaps available on Hudl, and Boyd's version wasn't particularly helpful to that end.

I'm as baffled by Knox Grace's 50-7 win over an 8-1 Boyd team as I am at Grace's 61-7 loss at South Doyle. One important (?) distinction: the South Doyle game was in August and the Boyd game was last Friday.

LA senior WR Kyle McNamara is fearless. I had thought Ohio State offering Kyle a scholarship was a stunt/gimmick with Kyle's older brother a freshman QB at Michigan. I worked in TV news in Columbus, Ohio and I know how intense the tOSU/Michigan rivalry is.

And how many 5'8" receivers without any other P5 scholarship offers receive one from Ohio State?

But then I saw McNamara in person and he was going over the middle and laying out on routes trying to make a catch and I understood it a bit more. Tough, hard-nosed player with a knack for getting open, even in tight coverage.

I know the story of Kyle and his younger brother moving with their family from Reno to Nashville for the 2019 season, in part as I understand it because of visibility to college scouts. To that end, it seems to have been a success.

Good luck and safe travels for all involved tonight.

    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say .. 
    • I have a sophomore that can do 177 (preferred) or 192. Sent you an email.
    • speaking of board members how can a man get arrested 12 days ago and still be head coaching a team in TC school system? looks like your right about the tc board members. I bet it would be different if they had a kid on the team
