Ba-CBHS

[BAJ16]

what do ya'll think about this game?

[GimmeSumKetchup]

This is gonna be an AWESOME game. I want EVERY BA student to go to the game and yell as loud as they can to support the Eagles.

BA got lucky against MBA... they won't be so lucky in Memphis next week... the Eagles won't be able to stop Corey Mills just like they couldn't the first time... your final will be CBHS and MBA...

This will be close. CBHS is looking strong, yet BA had something like 6 turnovers in the reg. season. Playing an error free game shoul help BA to a victory in this one. BA-24 CBHS-14

Lucky? Regardless of whether you believe BA should have won, you have to admit that we played neck and neck with MBA, the most balanced, versatile offense in the state. Corey Mills is a great player, but if we competed with MBA don't you think we can compete with him? The CBHS offensive scheme will be much easier to predict, also. They're a running team who throws occasionally, whereas MBA does it all. BA has the defensive skill and depth to stop a running attack they know is coming at them.

 

I have no doubt Brentwood Academy can win this game at Christian Brothers...none whatsoever. Will they? That's a different question, but I think BA fans will be pleased with the answer if the Eagles stay focused in Memphis. Christian Brothers is the favorite by virtue of their previous win over BA, but I think the Eagles will take the rematch.

 

Sportsguy, you are an excellent writer and I appreciate and admire your commitment to high school athletics; as a result, I am disappointed that you label BA's win as "lucky." Seems like a heady journalist like yourself would be more perceptive.

This game shall be hard fought and a good match-up. I hope BA comes out on top.

I think if BA avoids the turnovers, they will win. CBHS far and away leads the league in turnover ratio (I think they are +16) and will make you pay if you don't hold on to the ball, as they proved in Brentwood earlier in the season. Plus, as we all know, it's difficult to beat a team twice in the same season.

 

I'll say BA in a close one: BA 20, CBHS 14.

My money is on Brentwood. It is hard to beat a Carlton Flatt team twice in a year, especially when they don't turn it over 6 times again.

 

Good Luck Eagles!
