QB- Tallent, Goodson will possibly see some playing time depending on how Tallents Wrist heals back. And how he plays on Defense. Goodson has a great Deep Ball but he Will have to Show out in Spring and Work hard in the Summer. FB- Tyson, Crenshaw will be in there if Tyson plays Defense. Or Warren. RB- Hambrick, Koko WR- Isom WR- Warfield, K.Dean will be a good step up from his Freshmen Year. Also Jordan F. is a good prospect for his Size and Speed TE- Mangum. Will Be Moved To Guard Most Likely. TE- Warren Much like Brandon was, D.Warren is a Strong Blocker and Can Catch. Would help pick up the Slack of Robinson leaveing since you will have Vee for Two more Seasons and Koko for Three OT- Manuel, Will have to Step his Physical Game Up to Become a Starter OG- Evans, Moved To Tackle most Likely OG- Mangum C- Rankin OG- Stephens, Rumored to Jump Ship his Sr. Year. OG-Loy, After an Impressive Freshmen Season, Loy could become a starter if he Hit the Weights HARD this Summer and picked up some Pounds. AND he has the coaches OT- Evans OT- Suddreth If Suddreths Pleas come threw from the Alt School Problem this year, Then he might possibly return. Other then That... Honestly its Open. But There is a New Linemen That Moved from Florida That Good Size, But no one has seen him play. DE- Warren DT- McGlothlin, S. Johnson would be in the mix some places depending on McGlothlin's Wrist Healing and if he did get moved to DE DT- Tate Derrick Evans will more then likely play both ways. DE- Henry, McGlothlin can be placed at end for his size and speed if Warren is on Offense. LB- Wheeler Moved Back To William Blount LB- Crenshaw LB- Chapman, Tyson LB- Koko DB- Isom DB- Tallent DB- Hambrick K- Castro The Wrap Up: Alot of spots have alot of players that could fill the roster. Witch is never a bad thing. The coaches have always said that Competition breeds Sucess. Or something to that effect. So this up coming Spring will clear the 2010 seasons picture up Alot. But as always I wish my Boys the best of luck and dont plan to miss a beat!

My heart just skipped a beat... There is a high school post talking about recruiting and Alcoa wasnt put on the front page... And actually hasnt been brought up one time.... But wait, It also isnt Football Season. So I guess that gives people less of a reason to complain.

I could agree with the reason of wanting someone to stop the bands from playing during plays and such. I mean it does have some affect on the linemen hearing the snap count and such and it really showed this year when Alcoa played Howard. Howard having a band that was Always Rockin and Well I think Alcoa’s band is the only band in the state that plays while its own team is trying to run a play, but during the Howard game I really couldn’t hear the QB, I had to watch the ball and that’s kinda sad when you’re the guy on Offense dont ya think? So I could agree with a rule of not letting them play during a play, but it has been done for years and I doubt it would have been as much of a problem if our own band wouldn’t have been helping them drown out the snap count... Maybe our band should just quit playing while where on offense???

Just wanted to take some time out and send congratulations to the Lenoir City Class of 2010. This class of great young men has had to over come more then enough obstacles in there high school careers and honestly some of the most amazing guys you will ever meet. No one had really given them much of a chance this season and this group took what they had and ran with it. I just wanted to say great job yall and enjoy Senior Night. You only get it once and after watching 3 sets of your buddy go it’s finally your turn. Love you guys and best of luck against Coach White and Marryville! #51 Layfeild , #58 Courtney , #28 Andel , #2 Frye , #31 D'Ooge , #4 D.Cook , #23 E.Cook , #40 Craig , #18 Pardue , #68 Thomas. To The Class of 2011: This is your last game as a Jr. This game really doesn’t mean as much to you as it does to your senior friends. Do your best tonight, If not for yourself then for them. Most of them put 4 years in this program and that wasn’t easy after what all has happen in the past 4 years and you at best only have 3, Next year you would want this advice to go to your underclassmen. Next season is your time, and it’s your team. Build off the accomplishments that were made this season and continue to grow. Good luck guys

Well when Lenoir City played Alcoa in the spring , I asked Coach Zellar about The new Qb comeing up and the rumors that I had been hearing and all. And he said said something to me about the Kid going to C.A.K with his Shane Wells , The former Basketball Coach at Lenoir City. So Im not sure that he left but if he was related to Shane im betting he left.

Well thats true more then likely , Cobb was down here for spring practice and he was talking about UK with him a little but but it was just messing around tho. More then likely your right

Yeah that is true, Loudon was a good test and this year it would be more impressive to say that against people like fulton and loudon and Marryville and bell county. One team that was also impressive that wasnt really noted was the 1st round game against cumberland gap, They moved the ball well with passing and drove down to the red zone some and just never could click to score. That was 63 of the 404. So with a good passing attack you can move the ball some but you have to protect the qb also. I dont really know how well the Clinton O-line was last season but it will be hard to compare them to Mr.Football in Tyler Robinson and Returning Darwin Kerr and Darrell Warren. And the mix of Defense Tackles and ends. But yeah in the end it will be a good if not great test for the defense

Well people can say what they want and win all the awards possible, and still be a good player and can have a 49 yard game and still be a good player. Payton Manning threw 5 or 6 ints and set a new team record I think? I mean every player has a off day , But a true test will be against that Alcoa Defense that held 8 teams scoreless. They out scored them 404 to 0.... I think this weekends scrimmage will be a TRUE test for this kid.

.... You try typing a full page comment while a marketing teacher is giving you the evil eye.... Then talk about grammer

The Spring games are both AT Alcoa. Clinton May 16th at 11:00 a.m Lenoir City 22nd at 5:00 p.m

The two teams they have lined up to this point are Clinton and Lenoir City. May 16 is Clinton and Sometime in the next week in Lenoir city. The Lenoir City game is at Alcoa but im not for sure about the Clinton game on that Sat. If I had to guess its away? One of my friends plays for Lenoir City and I ask him if he was looking forward to playing us in the spring and he seemed puzzled and told me he hadnt heard a thing about it. Its not nice to schedule the 5 Time Defending State Champions and not tell your players about it! /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" />

For some very odd reason, When it comes to Lenoir City Athletics alot of Coach's and some Players /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> , Have left the school. Some for better jobs and some for better schools and places to play. At my Freshmen year a basketball the head coach was Coach Tony Williams, I had Coach Williams for a P.E Class and went to about 60% of the games if not more. Coach Williams loved his team and his students and wanted to see the best for them and there future. No matter the case was on the court or in a class rooms, Coach Williams always tryed to help his kids. Toward the end of my freshmen year Coach Williams got thrown in the middle of local Polotics and ended up Moveing schools. I was kid of up set but I knew that where ever he went he would do the same for those kids, and anyone that had common sense enough to see that would let him do his job. Before Coach Williams left he and I had a talk who they were going to hire to replace him, We talked about how we both knew Coach Wells at loudon and ive known him since the 2nd grade. When Coach Williams left and Coach Wells arrived the place he was put into wasnt any where near what the new football coach at Lenoir City was placed in. Coach Wells was happy with his kids and done great things in the past two seasons with them. He loved his kids and done what he felt was best for them. Made them have a shirt and tie on game day. Made them dress the part and have respect for the game. Coach Wells was an great coach. That was one reason that he was able to go to Lenoir City and have that "Click" Right off with his players. When Coach White resigned as Head football coach at Lenoir City and went to Marryville where his brother is a coach. I knew the Coaching staff would fall get switched around. One thing that means most to a Player is to know his Coaches care about him. I havent been at Lenoir City for the whole 08-09 School year but I did go to around 8 or 9 Basketball games. When the football coaching staff left, Such as Coach Myers for Fulton and Coach Harris for Farragut and Coach Gossett for Alcoa, I was left with the people who I grew up with and our parents. I followed the person who I thought that was always there for me and was always at my back threw anything ive ever went threw. I would be supprised if some of Coach Wells players didnt follow him like I followed the Coach that was there for me. Congratz to Coach Wells and I wish him the best of Luck.

Ok Well I took your Advice... I found out that he did quit. The same story that he told me the day before our first conditioning workout. Not to say he wasn??™t put on the spot for it. But that been the thing about the whole idea of people talking about quitting. I was told by a coach that I wouldn??™t want someone beside me that wasn??™t fully dedicated or wasn??™t going to do everything possible to reach the goal of his team. No matter if it was 4th and inches or 3rd and 20, Do you want someone out there that you know is going to do what it takes to get the job done or do you want someone beside you that you might have to question there integrity. As far as we all know in the school is that he quit. He told me the day before he was doing it and he wasn??™t putting up with it anymore. And the only reason I had said he was a starter was the post before were talking about the returning four O-Line Starters. And as for the Transfer, Ill have to agree with a good friend of mine and say "Any one can go out and throw a football and make it look nice, But not many can put on pads and line up at Alcoa High School and make it look anywhere near as good." But it will be a good match up for the starting spot this season so we shall just have to see.

Well a little bit of an update to everything: Lately "As in since Tuesday 4/14" There have been talk of people making there minds up about playing next seasons. Coaches and players alike have been hearing the rumors and some players have been haveing the talk of moveing away next season. The only starter that has quit so far has been Hopkey on the O-Line. Hopefully there are not more to come. So far 3 have turned in there stuff from the class of 2010. We shall just have to see what lays ahead of this years senoir class. But they know to keep there eyes on gold. /popcorneater.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":popcorneater:" border="0" alt="popcorneater.gif" />

If Lenoir City Wants To Beat Loudon , It would be this year , Im looking for the panthers to come into this game Hyped after winning last week. Im so proud of what they done so far and hope to see it keep going. Good luck Guys! 61-1 8/29/2008 The Streak Ends .:A-Town Pride:.
