Should be a great game and could go either way. When I analyze a game that appears to be a matchup, I give the advantage to the best coaching staff. For this game, I can't do that:
- Rankin - 17 state titles; 13 out of 16 at Alcoa and finals in 1st year at BB. Wow! Winningest coach in TN HS history. Only lost finals at Alcoa to CAK (twice) and CPA (2014 - Rankin has won every title since). Beat CPA and Martin twice in 3A.
- Martin - 13 years at CPA: 3 titles (including 2014 win over Alcoa and Rankin). 8 finals including the last 6 in a row. WOW!
One of the ironies of this matchup is that when Rankin was at Riverdale, he was one of the early proponents of the public/private split, after losing to BA and watching BA dominate in the public division. He later was a strong proponent for the split that sent CPA and BB to Division II.
Now he is coaching in the private division for the first time. Of course, at Alcoa he was a target of a lot of critics that claimed he was recruiting from all over the Knoxville area for years. 
CPA's defense is stout. In FRA's 11 wins, they averaged 54. They scored 23 total in the 2 loses to CPA.
Pearl Cohn is still undefeated. In their 12 wins other than CPA game, they averaged 45. CPA held them to 15.
BB has averaged 38 points per game but only scored 14 against Webb. Interesting.
3 common opponents.
CPA held DA to 6 and won 38-6. BB beat DA 36-24.  
CPA beat CAK 42-6. BB won 30-8
CPA beat GP 41-14. BB beat them 49-20.
So, lace then up! This will be a classic coaching matchup and, IMO, a tossup determined by penalties and mistakes.

I wish BB could spank them but I think CPA is just too much for them just as they have been for everyone else.

CPA really had a good team this year.  Defense was really impressive every game. Offense could grind or be explosive given the need. 31 seniors (might have been 34) will be hard to replace! Awesome leadership and coaching as always. Very proud of this team. 
 

Congrats BT!  Do you travel to away basketball games or will we meet again in the spring?

The Goat will have them boys ready to go again next year. Nothing to be ashamed of. CPA just has grown men this year. Difference was glaring. Rankin might need to give a little of his money back to the booster club though so they can afford to not spray paint their helmets next season. I am just keeping it real. Too good of a program to have helmets with half the yellow paint peeling off a previous blue helmet. I am just keeping it real

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
