FC Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 Fort Campbell will start the season off with a tough Tennessee team in Christ Presbyterian Academy (CPA) out of Nashville. CPA is ranked 6th in Tennessee’s 3A preseason polls behind Alcoa and Milan. Fort Campbell’s defense was impressive in last week’s scrimmage and the offense seems ready to pick up where they left off last year. An interesting note about CPA is that Jeff Fisher’s son, Trent, is an outstanding DB for CPA .
billwilliams70 Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 FC by more than 20. I've heard some stuff about CPA being a bit undisciplined and slow off the ball, that's not something a team can do against our Falcons. Later.
gchs_uk9 Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 This CPA team will be playing host to Lexington Christian next weekend. They're getting any shot at beating the preseason favorite in 2A and one of the favorites in 1A.
FalconBacker Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 I don't think CPA will be undisciplined, most private schools provide a pretty structured environment. CPA has a decent QB, a receiver with some size, & Titan's Coach Jeff Fisher's son as a DB, (is he good or does he just have a last name??). I expect them to be fundamentally sound, but too slow to keep up with the Falcons. FC is not only pretty decent at football, but most of the football players made up the track team which won the KY state track championship this past Memorial Day weekend in Louisville. Documented burners, not just hype about being fast. Ft. Campbell gets its first of three wins this season against Tennessee teams.
The Scribe Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 CPA only has about 325 students but because of their 1.8 private multiplier, they are a Class 3A school
tsyoung7 Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 I have to go with the falcons! The 325 students enrolled leaves me a little wondering about a powerhouse team capable of stopping the probable 2a state repeat. I understand that that number is all boys, but still, we are talking about FC Falcons.

I expect them to be fundamentally sound, but too slow to keep up with the Falcons. Agreed on the "undisciplined" front. Fort Campbell's other two Tennessee opponents will be more undisciplined - relatively that is - than CPA. Pearl-Cohn (third FCHS opponent this year) always has great athletes but has been very penalty-prone over the years. Pearl-Cohn's last title was in 1997, when they went 14-1, beating Maryville in the title game. There were many future SEC stars on that very fast, large team, notably Santonio Beard (Alabama) and John Henderson (UT, and now with Jacksonville in the NFL), but their one blemish came to a very disciplined team - MBA. MBA was good that year but lost in its title game and was 9-3 overall. I am not sure how good the younger Fisher is, but his older brother was a good DB at CPA and played at Montana. He bulked up there (elk meat, I guess) and became a good linebacker for the Griz, who lost in the I-AA title game to Richmond this past season. My guess is the younger Fisher has at least some talent.
sidelinedoc Posted August 19, 2009 Posted August 19, 2009 I have to go with FC in this one. Too bad I can't watch this one in person.
Stats Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 I am interested in seeing Josh Carter's replacements on the Falcon Defense. I think the Falcon speed will overcome the Lions and win a hard fought season opener. Falcons by 12.

He spent some time eating Christian County RBs in the backfield last Friday. No free scouting report here, just come and see for your self. #54
westsider Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 I'll be surprised if Fort Campbell wins by less than double digits ...

No free scouting report here, just come and see for your self. #54 #46 Is one to look out for, too. He's not that big but he's a "thinking" player.
