AlcoaPride2010

Alcoa has been the only team other than Hillsboro to be able to compete with Maryville. You got a 2A team with 60 players giving a 4A team with 90 players all it can handle. OR hasnt been at the same level as Alcoa or Maryville in years. What other game in Tennessee birngs in 12,000+ on a yearly basis including people from all over the Southeast?

That is great news for all of the teams that make it.

What are the chances wb renews the CROSS TOWN RIVALRY with Alcoa now that Medows is gone?

Alcoa vs Maryville is by far the best in Tn. This year at Goddard Field, the rebs who are a year removed from a 4 peat will take on the F5 Tornado who is the only team to ever win 5 straight. what other rivalry has 9 gold balls in the past 5 years? This game may not have region implications, but it more than makes up for that with bragging rights,pride,and bad blood. No other game pulls 10,000+ every year. These 2 schools would do a better job filling Neyland Stadium than the vols in recent years.

1) Alcoa 2) does it really matter after that?

None of the above, he graduated from Milan last year. In Alcoa, the only people who don't like Coach Rankin are the ones who stay in trouble in his office.

i was there 3 years ago and the field was like hardwood. has the playing surface been changed?
