CPA Defeats CAK, Advances to 2nd Round

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Postseason play kicked off last night as Christ Presbyterian Academy improved to 11-0 on the season with a 38-14 victory over Christian Academy of Knoxville. After catching the high-scoring affair in Nashville, here's my list of top performers as well as my full game recap.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Top Performers</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["824736"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-672fba79e6e31"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Making a huge difference down the stretch was [player_tooltip player_id='824736' first='Owen' last='Cabell'], a wide receiver at Christ Presbyterian Academy. What impressed me about Cabell was his ability to haul in the deep pass and find a way to break tackles on his way into the house. Cabell hauled in an impressive touchdown pass in the second half that helped extend the Lions' lead.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/17829819/659f2b7d96762c0664c2e0da">Tape:</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1269236"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-672fb6586527f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another big offensive playmaker was [player_tooltip player_id='1269236' first='Knox' last='McLean'], a tight end at Christ Presbyterian Academy. McLean was unstoppable down the stretch, using his height and wingspan to haul in challenging deep passes. McLean was crucial for the Lions' offense in the first round, hauling in multiple passes to put his team in solid field position.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/14094727/6711d45edb5fb7dcad3d3835">Tape:</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["220692"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-672fbb654c659"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Impressing me at the helm of the offense was [player_tooltip player_id='220692' first='Hutson' last='Chance'], a quarterback at Christ Presbyterian Academy. Chance made a big difference with his ability to adapt to pressure and quickly scan the backfield for open receivers. Chance made a number of impressive passes throughout the contest, including several touchdown throws.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/13403814/6726b1cda953dda75e9e8744">Tape:</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["219398"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-672fbc6136cb8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Making a big difference on the offensive end was [player_tooltip player_id='219398' first='Noa' last='Liuchan'], a defensive lineman at Christ Presbyterian Academy. Liuchan showcased his catching ability in last night's game, proving he can blast into the endzone for the score off the quick pass. Liuchan stands out due to his size and ability to fight for extra steps from just a few yards out.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["284140"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-672fbc6136d06"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another high-level prospect to make his presence known was [player_tooltip player_id='284140' first='Bradshaw' last='Klym'], a running back at Christ Presbyterian Academy. What I like about Klym is his explosiveness on the ground and his ability to break tackles in the redzone. Klym capitalized off the quick handoff in the second half, running in a touchdown to extend the home team's lead. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/19505285/66f98e40e927c91e337b88fc">Tape:</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1335216"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-672fbfeb2d1e5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Also worth mentioning is [player_tooltip player_id='1335216' first='Rawls' last='Patterson'], a running back at Christ Presbyterian Academy. Patterson was a crucial offensive weapon for the Lions in the first half, blasting into the endzone for the touchdown to give CPA their first lead of the night. What impresses me about Patterson is his size and durability on the ground, proving he can shake defenders and power into the endzone for the score.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/16359189/66f85f87d573e6fd2638bfbe">Tape:</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Game Recap</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Lions would strike first as a quick handoff from [player_tooltip player_id='220692' first='Hutson' last='Chance'] to [player_tooltip player_id='1335216' first='Rawls' last='Patterson'] would result in an early 7-0 lead for CPA. After picking off CAK, the Lions' defense would run it all the way to the goal line to extend their lead to 14-0. The Lions were back in the redzone before long as [player_tooltip player_id='284140' first='Bradshaw' last='Klym'] blasted past the defense to put the third touchdown of the night on the board. CPA led CAK 21-0 with 4:20 left in the second quarter. The Warriors would answer with a little under two minutes left before the half as [player_tooltip player_id='1178596' first='Seaton' last='Moffett'] connected with Alexander Glass for the impressive touchdown pass. At the half, CPA led CAK 21-7. The Lions would continue to showcase their talent in the second half as a quick pass from Chance to [player_tooltip player_id='824736' first='Owen' last='Cabell'] resulted in another CPA score. The Lions led the Warriors 28-7 with 8:00 left in the third quarter of action. The Lions would close out the game with 3:55 left in the third quarter as Chance found [player_tooltip player_id='219398' first='Noa' last='Liuchan'] for the quick touchdown pass. CPA led 35-7. The Warriors would find the endzone once again in the fourth quarter as Moffett found Ward Sterchi for the deep touchdown pass. CPA would go on to win the game 38-14.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
