Really tough start to the second half for Pope Prep, getting tackled in the end zone for a safety.

 

Just mind boggling.  Pope had a little mo going into HT and received the kick to start the 2nd.  If Pope had any hopes of getting back in the game they were quickly dashed on that play.

It's exceedingly rare to see a safety on a kickoff return in modern-day high school football with the automatic touchback rule. You have to willingly run back into the end zone with possession for that to happen.

I just hope Pope's kick returner is okay, as he was down for quite some time after the play.

On the other side of the bracket, MBA QB #12 had a great game against Christian Brothers, connecting on multiple long downfield passes. CBHS had trouble getting its offense going in ways that mirrored the struggles JP2 had against McCallie.

Congratulations to the semifinal winners, and good luck in the state championship game.

Early predictions for the MBA/McCallie game? 

1. How much of an advantage is it for McC for the game to be played in their backyard? Will Chattanooga show up and support the local team? 

2. Does MBA have revenge on their mind from 2019 and an earlier loss in the season?

3. Can McCallie accomplish a 3-peat?

If I remember correctly, MBA had McCallie beat and ended up losing by 3.  That game dropped MBA to 1-3 for the season however the Big Red have won 8 straight since.

yes, MBA had a 10 point 4th quarter lead and couldn't close the game out.  There was a head scratcher of a decision to go for it on 4th and 5 at midfield with maybe 5:00 to play and a 4-point lead, and then what looked like a busted play that was swarmed by McCallie.  After McCallie took the lead, MBA was in position to retake the lead deep in McCallie territory and fumbled the snap on a 4th and 1 play.  Was a really sloppy 4th quarter from MBA.  This is a much better MBA defense than the one from that night.  I'm sure it's also a much better McCallie team.  What is so impressive about Potter to me--2 years ago they win running the option.  It was a thing of beauty to watch.  Now last year and this year, they run a totally different offense with the same results.  Potter has just done an incredible job there.

This was a dominating performance from McCallie. They seemed to have Reed off his rhythm for the entirety of the game. It's hard to win one gold bowl, but to do win 3 in a row is most impressive. 

Anyone know the reaction from MBA? 

Last night on Twitter, Kreager said the injury was not as serious as it appeared. I have not seen anything today.

    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through. 
    • McKenzie had no trouble with Huntingdon.  
    • Has BA landed any cornfed cowboys to block up front?
    • 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.
