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...

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.

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.

    • Who’s going to lead the pirates offense this year?
    • Pickett is good, may have a Mr. Football like season if he’s used correctly. One of the best teams Marion has fielded in a while. I think they go 12-1 and loose to ER.  ER has better players at almost every position. If they play discipline this year, they win soundly. If they don’t though…Marion could sneak away with it.
    • I’m betting the house on the Indians. Pickett and Co will be the only team to challenge the Indians in the East. Huntingdon can in the West. I think Brooks goes 15-0 and has the first perfect season and state championship in ER history.
    • Sounds like a great opportunity has opened up for the football team.  With the head coach of the diamond rebels making it official and quitting this week, there should be some room for the gridiron guys to benefit. I assume the administration won’t continue paying six figures to two former coach that quit to continue teaching drivers Ed. Thats pretty good money that could be redirected toward the football program. Also, with the more recent policies of pushing kids to only play one sport, abolishing the baseball program altogether would help on Friday nights in the fall. There is some decent speed on that baseball team that should’ve been playing on Fridays IMO. I’m not sure if anybody would really miss that baseball program anyway with it being across town from the school. The liability of letting players actually use the facilities could also be mitigated with closing the program. That liability seems to be a really big issue for 825. Anyway, it seems like a great opportunity is available.
    • Yeah, I read about their spring blue/gray scrimmage after I typed that.   Sounds like a real mess over there.  I just hate that for 'em.  Haw
