The size difference in these 2 teams is really big.

Give JT a couple years at Boyd. The gap will close

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 CPA on the win. Proud of my Bucs. Fought to the very end. Future is definitely bright. Losing 8 seniors but have a lot of guys coming back for the next few years to make a run at it again!

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

Boyd is coming…..no doubt about it.

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

Well Rankin will start tomorrow on his tour around the Deep South pulling talent to Boyd to defeat CPA.
