CPA will have a game under their belt going in, hosting Goodpasture in week 0. I like the matchup just because it's going to show the difference between 1A and 5A. I'll also vouch for CPA not recruiting, you've got to be affiliated with the church for two years or get on the waiting list - much longer - to get in. It's just a good school in a great location with a solid emphasis on athletics featuring a good coach and great facilities.

I have a son on CPA's team, and I have no dillusions about CPA regularly being able to win against Riverdale or any Top 10 5A team. However, games like this create a lot of interest and discussion which is all good for high school football. My kudos to Coach Rankin for agrreing to this game and for Coach Pack having the guts to schedule it. Especially since Coach Rankin has been a strong advocate of the public/private split (maybe he just wants to "put a spankin" on a private school). A few things for sure: CPA will give a great fight and is always a threat to win against anyone; Riverdale will be well prepared and hard to beat; the fans of Riverdale will enjoy their visit to CPA and will be hosted by class fans and be warmly welcomed; and high school football will benefit from the event. What more can you ask?

    • Georgia commit DL Stephon Shivers announces he will leave Humboldt High School in Memphis to attend Brentwood Academy High School in Nashville for his senior year. Good move for the kid. Himboldt was awful, and somehow getting worse with all their players leaving for other high schools in Memphis. A very underrated prospect moves very fast for his size, and his releases off the line are insane. A very good pick-up for Brentwood Academy.
    • Great post and on point about the LB's. I would look to see Mason Batten get alot of reps and fill one of the LB's spots. Defensive and offensive line should be very good.  On the offensive side, Tate Surber has weapons all around him.  Backfield could see a mixture of RB's but I would anticipate Timmy Airline and Colt Norden getting the majority of the totes.  Norden will also be a big threat down the field in the passing game along with Cole Brown, Jacobi Melton, and Martez Teague.  Jacobi Melton is probably the fastest kid on the team. He can flat move.   As far as the offensive strategy, the weapons are for sure there to run that 4/5 wide no huddle.  But, do we have the depth to run a fast pace, no huddle and keep kids fresh for four quarters?  Time will tell.  One thing is for sure, the pieces are there to make a deep run, but we don't want to put the cart before the horse. 
    • McKenzie has to replace some very good players on defense especially @ linebacker. I am hearing the roster numbers are way up so far this year . A couple players from the 2022 team are back out for their senior year I  heard. Hearing the main offensive philosophy  maybe  moving toward a no huddle 4/5 WR and very fast paced. After exceeding  expectations last year and even holding their own in the championship game with what this team has back they  should be deep into the playoffs again this year. The defensive side of the ball is what I will be paying close attention too. I thought down the stretch last year, their defense was what really carried them through the playoffs. 
    • I'll post it on this thread instead of starting a new thread.  Humboldt's Stephon Shivers hit the tinder portal and will transfer to Brentwood Academy. Good to see this happen for Hayden Williams, as it'll give him a laser focus mentality to develop players for now on.
    • McKenzie has 30/38 of their roster back this year, according to TSSAA website.
