Final

Pearl Cohn was outmatched, but the Falcons made more mistakes than normal and I'm sure that Coach Berner wasn't happy................

 

Pearl Cohn's band rocked the house though.....they couldn't play the Star Spangled Banner to save their lives, but they rocked out.

 

Later.

Great game Falcons!!

Hey thanks to loveoffootball for the updates. It is great to keep in touch with BGPer"s while watching your own team play.

3-0 Go Falcons!!!

That's some funny stuff.

Is Ft. Campbell trying to win a championship in Tennessee also?

I am not sure, but it sure looks like they could!!!:laugh:

You are quite welcome. Glad to hear the other Falcons did well tonight also! Go Falcons. I agree with Bill...Falcons got sloppy on simple things tonight otherwise this game would have been a real blow out.

A very physical game, plenty of individual players on Pearl Cohn. It wasn't a pretty win, but good to know the little 2A Falcons can mix it up in the 'hood and still come out on top.

Pearl-Cohn's band does rock. And, despite being located in what is not the best part of Nashville, their kids are generally sportsmanlike and clean players.

 

Fort Campbell has rocked its first three Tennessee opponents, but I caution against reading too much into those wins, although the margins were impressive enough to maintain some level of confidence.

 

CPA (0-3) lost tonight to East Literature, which is playing its first varsity season in the TSSAA. Classy bunch for sure - and I was equally touched with the Kentucky fans' acknowledgement of the CPA gesture before the FC game - but CPA may finish at the bottom of its seven-team region.

 

And if it's not CPA in the cellar, it's possibly Pearl-Cohn (1-2). Pearl-Cohn does have a win among these three Tennessee schools, albeit against a weak Clarksville Northeast squad. P-C has always had good athletes (John Henderson of the Jax Jaguars went to P-C and led the Firebirds to titles in 1996 and 1997) but have lost some discipline since their great coach Maurice Fitzgerald left a few years ago. More on P-C in a minute.

 

And then there's Kenwood, which, fittingly, was beaten the worst of the three. Kenwood suffered a 40-point loss tonight to drop to 0-2.

 

Back to P-C. P-C lost its opener 14-42 to a team some of you Kentuckians (Trinity in particular) know about: MBA. MBA tonight was beaten by Ensworth - a school in its third full year coached by a former MBA player/head coach - 50 to 21. And, as good as Ensworth appears to be (and they are very good), many people still think the best team in MBA and Ensworth's league is the defending champs, MUS, which went 13-0 last year, waxed a couple of Memphis teams to start this season, and then tonight beat a little ol' school out of Mississippi named South Panola 21-19. South Panola had a one-game losing streak going into 2009, but it was preceded by an 89-game winning streak.

 

I like posting on these boards since I joined in 2003 prior to MBA-Trinity I, and I will not try to stir up any trouble. But, I do want to encourage FC fans to keep perspective. Heck, any win in a border war is good for the winning state, but just as much we can encourage the Bell County fans not to be too demoralized by the Alcoa game (Alcoa does that to most everyone, and even Maryville this year), we can equally encourage FC to celebrate 3-0 but also realize a few of the top teams they will be competing with for a KY state title would likely have had similar success against this Tennessee trio.

 

Best wishes to FC. As a parent, fan, and human being, that news hit hard to many of us who are more remotely removed from that program. Condolences to the family, and hopefully his teammates can give the parents gifts of remembrance and wins throughout the season

I think most FC fans have a pretty fair perspective on our football team.

 

That Memphis University School you mention and is ranked as one of the top teams in the Nation: Little FC is the team that eliminated MUS from the Vandy 7 on 7 in July. Not that 7 on 7 is real football, but FC can probably at the very least compete with any team on any level.

I understand and agree with most of your comments, no reality check needed. The CPA loss to East Literature was a big surprise last night and I actually listened to the East coach on 104.5 while driving back from Nashville. Big win for that program. Kenwood is really struggling this year and might only win 1 or 2 games.

 

As far as the game last night, Fort Campbell did not look nearly as sharp as they normally do, but a win is a win. Not too often do you see a team come off the field after a win and they are hanging their heads and look like they lost the game. That about says it all about how the coaches and some of the players feel about their performance last night. Pearl Cohn has some very good athletes, but had way too many penalties. I think at the half they had like 80 yards of offense and 75 yards in penalties. On a bright note, it looks like FC found an extra point kicker.

 

Now the Falcon’s can put the Tennessee side of their schedule away and focus on Kentucky.

Very impressed with the fan support for FC. The second week in a row that the Falcons went on the road and had more fans then the host school.

This should be a special season with the talent on FC and the majority of the 101st Soldiers thankfully at home for the season to watch their kids play.

But, I do want to encourage FC fans to keep perspective.

As a Falcon fan, I am keeping persptective. I don't belive that the wins against these teams doesn't put the Falcons in the KY state championship team, let alone the 2A playoffs. I do believe that it's the hard work, the discipline, the execution, and the drive that will do just that.

As the parent of the player that you're speaking of, thank you for your condolences.

 

Later.
