Coaches were dropping the "F Bomb"? Why were they talking about Farragut? We dont use the F bomb, just an old Bearden boy here that got interested in CAK because of Coach Young.....Good luck to both teams....I hope for a hard fought game between the whistles! I dont know much about OS this year, in the past they have always been a hard nose team that throws the deep ball, but their bread and butter it just trying to whip you at the point of attach and run it down your throat. It has been good to see the CAK defense grow up a little this season....Still very young which is good news for the future. I will save my Sweetwater comments for that board.....Rockwood too....and I will wait to post about the CAK first round playoff game until that week.

I know the CAK Warriors are off this week. Who will benefit from the open week. I know Epperly had turf tough, several of the players were a little beaten up. Will this week get any big time playmakers back for the Warriors?

I believe this game comes down to ball control. CAK can strike fast, but I still have not seen them put together many 10 play drives where they dont make a mistake. CAK's defense is young and even though they have grown up a lot the past 2 weeks, I think Loudon will be able to run the ball on them. Loudon has there top Tailback back from last season. I expect this to be a close game but in the end I think Loudons ability to run the ball will be the deciding factor. Loudon by 4!

I am not sure why they played in there red jerseys, but I know one thing.....The Red Jerseys with the black numbers made it almost impossible to read....I kept trying to figure out who was running the ball and couldnt pick out who the stud running backs were because I never knew if 21 had run it, 11, 41, heck it was crazy.

I havent heard anything about the injured WR. Does anyone have any information on that?

I just wanted to get some input on how BB was looking this year. I think that CAK will be a little down this year having graduated the majority of there defense from last season. I think you will see CAK improve as the season goes on and the young players get a feel for the speed and hitting on the high school level. How is Boyd looking heading into this season? Did you loose much from last years team? Key Players to watch from CAK Keenon Kolinsky is back at TB Michael Fromke finally get his chance as CAK's QB Big Gabe will be a force on the D line Ethan Poe is a solid linebacker and FB returning from last year Newcomers to keep an eye on Jacob Duncan at LB Taylor Moran at WR Who are the players to watch from Boyd and who are some of the top newcomers?

What does the job pay? Is the booster club willing to throw in some extra money to get a good coach. Like a coach that is retired and has over 30 years experience. And has already built up a new program in Knoxville that beat Oakdale when they lined up in 1A?

Being away from the CAK program for a few years but still following it, maybe you all can let me know who will step in to some positions. Lets start with Defense, with the departing seniors from last season, I would say our new Defenseive Icon is swiss cheese, still good, but with holes in it. The loss of Bennett will be huge, dont think you can replace a player like that but who is next in line...Same goes for Bo Sanford. D-line, got Gabe back, but who has stepped up in the offseason? Offensively, Who will replace Cates? Who are the go to receivers going to be. Is this a rebuild or reload year? I wil check back and hopefully someone in the know and fill me in.

You ask if I am a CAK fan...Yes i watch CAK football...I am also a Bearden Fan, a Maryville Fan, an Oak Ridge Fan...Do I have a true school allience, no. In my reference to the U, it is because of your to Hype Cheer. And the predictions of winning by 28, and how you are going to run the score up over not a fim trade. Your alls words not mine. And yes...Milan is capable of beating Alcoa, DCA is, Goodpasture is, maybe Hunt. (Not as sure about them). And it is not because you all dont have a great tradition. It is honestly because their defeneses are better! I appreciate you allowing to have my opinion, you dont have to agree with me. But at the same time, I have grown tired of looking at every Alcoa post and seeing Alcoa fans say they are going to win by as much as they want! Will I be at the game Friday night, probably...Goddard Field is a great football atmosphere and I have looked at the lineup of games Friday night and this one looks most appealing. You may never know, I might be in your flock!

You know I have seen where every CAK fan who has posted has given Alcoa much respect. I have given you respect. And yeah you all may have been the best team in 2A the past three years, but I really look forward to you all playing Maryville every year so that way someone knocks you off your high horse. I think your to hype cheer is crazy....That is why I respect Maryville, they dont run there mouths, they just button up their chin straps and whip you on the football field. You all are good, You all are by no means great this year. It may not happen but I really hope that CAK comes out on Friday night and puts the wood to you all. We dont rebuild we reload, legends never die, tradition never graduates. Yeah Yeah Yeah.....I cant wait for this year to play out all the way, you may not get beat this week, but you wont bring the gold ball back to Alcoa! If I am wrong I will be the first person back on here congratulating you all and eating Crow, but I have seen teams from other parts of the state play, and you all are not that loaded with talent this year like years past. CAK may not be able to do it, but there are 2 or three teams out there in 2A that can! You all know you are good, do you have to tell everyone how good you all are? How the state championship runs right through the center of blount county. How about showing a little respect to the young men who have worked there butts off from other schools and not down grading them by saying how bad you are going to beat them! You all are the U of Miami of TN 2A High School football, good, but you run your mouths so much that most people hate you! I guess you are right love, hated, but you make sure you are never ignored!

As far as the Filmgate goes, I am not saying one way or another on what went down, because I dont know. But if I were the CAK coach I wouldnt trade. If you trade the last two game films. Alcoa gets to see CAK vs. Rockwood, which as everyone knows was a pivotal game in the outcome of the playoff brackets, so the odds of CAK showing something would be higher and they would get the CAK vs Loudon game, which Loudon is a great team and even though CAK won convinceingly they still probably showed a lot to make sure they advanced. From Alcoa they get the Sweetwater film, from the first round of the playoffs, you can bet Alcoa didnt show anything new in that game and the other film would have been the Alcoa vs Loudon film that CAK got from Loudon in the film trade before the first round. I would have just told the Alcoa coaches, we arent interested in trading, nothing says you have to trade films, and it isnt like if Alcoa really wanted to see the film they couldnt call Loudon and get it. Just as CAK could call Sweetwater. But both of these teams know what the other is good at and not good at. Just doesnt seem like it would be an even trade for CAK!

Let me throw a couple of years out there for you 1997- 2004- 2003- Some of you are saying what do these years have to do with anything. 1997- A group of seniors none of which signed a Div. 1 Scholarship lead a team from Maryville to the State Championship game and they lose to Pearl Cohn and Big John Henderson, but that group of Seniors put into motion what is not considered a dynasty in 4A High School Football at Maryville 2004- Numbers 1,2, and 3 lead Alcoa to what is currently there current dynasty. A 3 peat of 2A State Championships 2003-CAK made the playoffs for the first time in School History, 4th place team in their region, this team of young men go up to Cloudland and knock off the number one team in the state. Get hot and run all they way to the Semi Finals. What I am saying, that sure the cards are stacked against CAK this year. Alcoa should win this one hands down. But Dynasties begin some where. One team stands up and basically just says, we are not going to get beat. I see the moral fiber in this CAK team and the Senior Leadership that they can be that team. It all begins with 1 win then 4 more. CAK got their one win, and the worst thing that could have happened to Alcoa, whether they called the dogs off or not was letting CAK win the second half earlier this year. Now CAK knows that Alcoa's players dont have a big red S on the middle of their chests. They believe they can play with Alcoa snap for snap. I am not here to put Alcoa down or to say CAK is GOING to win. I am here to say, that is why we pay admission each week. Because when it comes right down to it anybody can be knocked off any week. Someone talked about Alcoa would have to turn it over 10 times for CAK to win. I believe that CAK just has to play the best they can. Try to match Alcoa score for score, If CAK doesnt turn the ball over, makes Alcoa drive the ball instead of giving up the big play (80 Yard Troy Hodge runs, 93 Yard passes) and makes Alcoa earn every point they get, then Alcoa will make a mistake and when they do CAK must take that mistake and turn it into points. I do believe that CAK is going to have to play rock solid every single play to win this game. Alcoa is the team to beat. Alcoa doesnt have to beat CAK they just have to not loose to them. CAK has to beat Alcoa! Much respect to Alcoa, they have earned it with their 8 state championships over the years. CAK has 0. But what team will decide we are going to step up and earn one, start that tradition. Its happened before. Good luck to you Warriors, if you want something go out and take it!

1st Quarter *Cak threw to RB Bennett out of backfield in the flat and he took it to the house around 20 yards *CAK Halfback pass Kolinsky to Scott in back of end zone Wide open *CAK as quarter expired long pass from Cates to Cross covered like 40+ Yards CAK 21 SHS 0 2nd Quarter *Kolinsky doing the Arakansas thing lined up at QB and just took it up the middle for a short TD *Kolinsky 30 yard run where he hurdeled the safety Subs put in Game for CAK *Back TB Bo Sandford, two big runs, and punched it in from around 10 yards out Halftime CAK 42 SHS 0 3rd Quarter * Backup QB Fromke hit Backup WR Houser 20+ yard TD Pass FRESH AND SOPH Played rest of game End of 3rd CAK 48 SHS 0 *SHS #21 15 yard run *SHS Cozart caught a TD pass from 50 + Yards * #21 caught a pass for a TD The Mercy rule was in effect until 4 minutes left in the game when SHS cut it under 45. I really expected this game to be close, SHS has a ton of athletes, but they just didnt play well, #2 didnt even dress out for Sweetwater, all I had heard about was how good he was, he could have made a big difference in the game possibly, is he injured or what is the deal, they had there injured players in jerseys and I didnt see him with those guys. Where was he tonight? CAK could beaten them as bad as they wanted, I am not sure SHS had a first down the first half. They still didnt move the ball against the second team, they didnt move the ball until CAK was really deep into there lineup, like Fresh deep and SHS still had starters in game, I dont blame SHS for this, they only had 26 players dressed out. I like the fact that SHS onside kicked it, even though it was against the younger kids, dont ever give up, I think the coach was sending the right message. Plus it will help CAK's younger players get better....They got to see game time speed and full contact against a first team squad. I dont think Sweetwater will get a wildcard birth though, I hate that for them, they are a good team.

There never was a horse that couldnt be rode and there never was a cowboy who coudnt be throwed! I think this game will be within 3 scores. I say Alcoa wins, but from what I have seen of Alcoa this year I say they wont repeat as state champs. They dont have an explosive receiver to keep defenses from stacking the line and when they play some of the middle TN teams, semi's and championship game, they are going to have to double block some DT's which will let some LB's hunt. I believe Alcoa wins this one and at least the first 2 rounds of playoffs, after that it is a toss up when they will be beat, but I will go out on a limb and say there is not a state title this year coming to blount co in 2A!

CAK has a pretty darn good defense. A little slower than I would like, but against Alcoa, Alcoa scored on a 96 yard flee flicker. In the second half, Alcoa starters still playing i will note that, the warriors held Alcoa to 7 points. All of this after loosing one of their MLB's for the season to a broken arm and a DL for the season to an ACL. They have a start in LB Joseph Bennett. Their Safety is tough, he is adjusting to playing LB right now but he will be fine, smart kid who can adjust well. They also have 4 tough DLineman. They arent going to overpower you, bu they will be there all night long and they will do the little things to help make the defense churn. In alcoa game players were playing out of position to fill the holes, the second half they started to feel comfortable. I will agree though that until someone beats them, Alcoa has the best defense in East TN 2a, sometimes the best defense can be a good offense! When they had Sommers back in the secondary, I would have said hands down Alcoa, but now there is a chink in the arm, and I think that chink is in the secondary. That is if the pass rush doesnt get to the QB!
