Congrats to all D-II schools competing for a State Championship today in Cookeville.  You managed not only to earn the right to play today through your accomplishments on the field but have managed to survive the most devastating events off the field named Coronavirus.

There are many teams  that wish they had the same opportunity you have today.  All 6 teams are winners for advancing to this point.  But 3 teams will carry a Gold Ball home, 3 will carry a Silver Ball home but all will remember this game for the rest of your lives. 

Good luck from the Tennessee Football Coaches Association.

FINAL: CPA 35, Lipscomb 28

Congrats to CPA, they earned it today against a very good Lipscomb team. The CPA game-winning drive churned at least five minutes off the game clock, if not more.

As a neutral observer, it made for entertaining viewing. Lipscomb didn't give up when they were down 14 and rallied to tie it up before the aforementioned CPA drive.

ended as started with long CPA control drives,  we missed Mav Rodgriguez immensely but the power change that began after lipscomb1 continued to the finish. Now on to Drew Maddux and his collection of 3 point gunners. Best team to come for CPA is still fall 2023 for the senior class of 2024. Today is the culmination of the 0-5 2019 start, proving that you gotta play up to prove yourself.  BGA or LA both have been great city competition and Goodpasture is on the righ track, so the crown is a bit uneast on CPA head. Not sure about a next year repeat but is totally possible as this years undefeated frosh filter in.  Law and Patterson will be a great start. The ref crew was pretty awful and worse looked like a crew of baby Hueys in penguin suits, nice weather for a change.

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
