CPA Lions vs DCA Wildcats II

[unbiasedspectator]

CPA was very impressive in a 35-13 win over Collinwood. I can't say I'm surprised considering how well CPA is playing lately. Their all around team is outstanding.

 

DCA was also dashed impressive, exploding to a 28-0 lead in the 1st Quarter then cruising to a 38-0 shutout of Moore County. It was their fourth shutout of the season.

 

So, CPA travels to DCA next week. CPA should be the favorite because they won the first one. DCA had not similance of a running game in that one, and still kept it close. If they bring a running game, especially the one they had early in the season, then this game is a tossup.

I imagine none of the CPA fans are back from the Collinwood game by now.

I cant wait for this game!! The way these two teams are playing its gonna be a good one.

The key is the line. Whoever wins the line will win the game. CPA's smaller line dominated DCA line in the first game and it resulted in Landers having the biggest day of his career and Wooden's worst in 2 years.

Just got back from the Collinwood game and dodging deer on the road home. Let's face it. In high school, unlike any level of football, the following is what wins games, in order of importance.

1. Coaching

2. Team Speed, especially on defense

3. Balanced attack

4. Kids who are in shape and will hit!

Size is way down the line in importance at the high school level. CPA is usually smaller than their opponents this year, but they have the top 4 stated above covered.

DCA didn't just have a bad night rushing the last time - CPA stopped their run. And Landers had a great night for CPA because other teams can't key on our running with the passing attack we have. Can CPA do it again - we will see. Should be a great game.

i don't think cpa stuffing Wooden for a second year in a row was just a fluke, and Travis Sikes only caught one pass for cpa, and we only completed a few all together, if we get our passing game along with our running game i think it will turn out just like the last game.

CPA is the best! Go lions!

This should be another great game. Too bad it's not in the Boro for the state championship. I believe these are the two best 1A teams this year.

I look for the rematch to be closer than the last contest. Obviously, DCA has realized for them to win, they need to contain Luke Landers (thus control the line) and control turnovers.

[NCS03]

Whoever wins this game wins state!

I must remind everyone that it is very, very hard to beat a good team twice in the same year. DCA wins in a thriller!

[FBGIRL]

You are so right. Just ask Ezell Harding and USJ after CPA beat them both after losing to them both earlier last year. I still think CPA will get it together and get this one too. Several players are really stepping up right now and coming thru stronger than ever. I still go with CPA in a great game.
