Having watched both teams a little, and seeing CPA up close, this looks like a strength on strength game.  Oakland has James the best RB in the state, and CPA has an excellent front 7.  They are just fundamentally really sound.  They do a great job getting off blocks and making tackles.  When we (MBA) played CPA we couldn't get anything going with the run game.  There was just nowhere to run.  The D line doesn't look that big but they beat blockers and clog holes and let the LBs clean up.  Those LBs led by Patterson just don't miss a lot of tackles.  I think Ingle still values coaching and practicing the old school way and it shows.  Against us, the CPA offense bogged down because I think they were resting Patterson on offense some.  He and Law together are a pretty strong duo running the read option.  Two great teams, will be fun to watch.

The CPA coaching staff definitely likes to use a lot of players in non-region or lesser competitive region games. Like you, I think having 11 & 10 in the backfield is hard to beat.  On offense, I honestly can't predict what the approach will be Thursday.  They could try to pound the ball with their best 1/2 punch, they might continue the running back by committee approach, or they may try to throw the ball around a lot.  If they were playing Oakland in a playoff game, I feel pretty certain you'd see a lot of the 11/12 combo, I'm just not sure they'll take the same approach given it's not.

    • Hmmmmm……doe dee doe doe….i drove the lawnmower down to practice today…….hmmmm…… we got some new faces………. One can run faster than my lawnmower in fifth gear…… a few will be disappointed come November that they jumped ship and went down to that sewage facility……. You can bet the lawnmower on that. 
    • I don't know what's going on in the town of McMinnville, but I've read this and it's disturbing.  I'm a "player" person, and I want what's best for the player. If a player gets cut off the team because she said the "F word" then good grief. I mean, come on guys. I wish there was a way for the player to transfer to a different program and just play ball. There are a lot of athletes that are stuck because they're in crappy situations regarding their team/coach. This is player just happens to be one them.
    • Won't happen. College coaches will back the coach every time and it cost this young lady her senior season. Looks like the player may be right on this one. School let her  go after one season. This stuff happens more than you think. 
    • “No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team.” For language? I’m not seeing that as a dealbreaker. 
    • Why did the coach get rehired after she was let go as an assistant by the former Warren County coach and the current AD?? Is that accurate?? I am very familiar with situations like this. Suprised lawsuits haven't happend before. If the coach unfairly let the player go, I think she has a shot because it cost her a scholarship. No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team. Not going to happen. There are bad hires like this a bunch and kids are treated unfairly by coaches that can't coach a lick and have super long ropes somehow. Amazing how some of these coaches get hired and keep their job.
