congrats Alcoa. congrats Milan.
No doubt, the two best defenses in 3A Football, if not the entire state of Tennessee.
Milan just couldn't afford to come into the game and turn the ball over. The two down inside the 5 were huge and led to Alcoa gettings 3 yards for two touchdowns. 14-0 and they haven't even had to drive the field yet. Credit Milans defense for holding Alcoa throughout the game, except for the one long drive.
Milans offensive line was just too small to open holes for Gilbert. Milans WR did a good job in the passing game. The score indicated, did not mean dominance on any part, except on the defensive side of the ball. Toney is a good back, but runs behind 7 or 8 beasts. Milan forced them to punt several times.
Again, great job Alcoa. The most impressive is your front 7. Milan just couldn't afford to win the total yards game, first downs, and then turn over the football.
To any Milan fan or Alcoa fan, you can't let some people get on here and post, that don't have a clue about the game of football, and say something non-classy and make you mad. These people are just plain idiotic. I saw one at Applebees last night, and this man was 70-75 years old absolutely bashing Milan, as our eating tables were less than 4 feet apart and his wife had to stop him because she noticed we were just staring at him. Thats not a knock to Alcoa, but a knock to simple fans that don't have a clue. I know there are Milan fans like that as well, as there are everywhere. The kids from Alcoa were classy kids. This wasn't a knock to them, the Alcoa program, or anything of that sort. This was a knock to that man and if hes on here, then he knows exactly who he is. T Rob came in and he was a part of their eating party. The players sounded very nice and classy.
We'll see T Rob and Avery W next season in Blue.
