Alcoa will hire former William Blount boys coach.... he's on staff at Alcoa. Every penny available is directed to football.... I think coach finally gave up.Team had raised $ for Florida Christmas Tournament.... Now they're going 5 miles to Maryville tournament.... Sad !

Alcoa will hire former William Blount boys coach...he is currently on staff.

Tonight's game w Fulton will be special!

This self ordained expert sez “it just ain’t rightâ€. If High School Sports teaches life lessons, whats this situation teaching? 1. We’re not good enough. 2. Really good players don’t have to follow the rules. 3. If its legal it’s OK. 4. The 1st 30 games don’t matter. 5. Winning will make-up for any hurt feelings . 6. Hey, I’m a good player I think next year I’ll quit the team and rejoin in time for the Region tournament ! and so on, and so on

All are playing teams below them in classification....Oneida is 1A.... Maybe thats why each have great expectations every year.... and seem to implode at tournament time? Haven't seen the rest of their early schedules...hopefully they have tougher games..... Would really love for them to take down their Knox counterparts this year.

They're considered private because each student must fill out an application and be accepted. Also...since they win almost all district titles and finish at the top in state in alot of sports....I think it could be said that alot are choosing CAK for sports.

2 right 2 wrong.....(AAA is alot easier) In semi I'll take CPA and Macon Past results indicate I'll get 1 right ! Kinda hope Etown & CAK can win one for East TN. Heading to Murf tomorrow......can't wait !

Is championship gonna be a Private Affair?

excellent all around guard ....not sure but I think when she played....the starting 5 were all soph. The core of the team was an AAU team that always finished near the top at nationals.

Have seen them play 7 games this year 2-3 and 1-3-1 and some 3-2 a little man when they were down. played some box and 1 on Alcoa shooter. They drop off the cliff when going to bench....so I guess the zone protects players from fatigue and fouls. But don't underestimate.....they are good (would have been a favorite if not for a season ending injury) sadly it seems alot of teams can make that claim.

Having only seen 3 of these the cyrstal ball may may a little fuzzy. Westview over Elizabethton- Etown is good but the loss of point guard earlier in year really hurt. plus they haven't played an away game since January. LA over CPA- LA, no superstars but all know the game and are well coached. Maybe the closest opening game. Macon Co over Covington- Only because there's a movie or song macon County Line. CAK over Cannon- CAK plays a tough zone putting 6'6 post in middle they won their last 3 games from teams that were not patient enough to get open looks and mistakenly thought they should challenge the interior. I'll change my pick if Cannon presses whole game. CAK has no bench. Will pick semi after 1st round ( I usually miss half my picks) !

Are there any rules in the draw....such as teams in same region can not play in 1st game?

Guess thats why they have the red light behind the backboard in college and pros. Could be wrong...but doesn't the offical go by the horn not the clock? What should haunt MC is why was defender 10-12 feet away.

Rhea co I think

Does anyone know who has the most 3 pointers this year?

We played in this tournament this year. Well run, great gym. Really fun area during the holidays!

Yea maybe have playin games on Thur night....."If there's $$$ there's a way" !

Maybe allow 8 teams advance to region from district?

I think Farragut will advance Anderson Co gets other spot ? Heritage could upset if they play up to expectations....sure they have 19 wins but they have only beaten 2 AAA teams with winning records (Seymour & Maryville) with 16-14 records. have not seen Powell but they better be ready for a scrappy William Blount. Bearden should get by Oak ridge and setup a good game with AC.

If you play each district team twice thats 26 games...not sure how many games can be played but that doesn't leave much for rivals in another class or district or tournaments. I guess one plus is the travel?

Last 4AA pick of year.....CAK wins over Alcoa by 15-20. Loser may get better draw at Region?

2nd round After overlooking Stone in 1st round I'm taking a closer look. They ended season strong with win v GPS and close game with Clarkrange. 1st round they beat Kingston on their home floor....... Stone rolls on.... over #1 seed Alcoa. (its hard to beat a team 3 times in a year) CAK has beaten Loudon twice in the last week (its hard to beat a team 3 times in a year) but CAK has alot more talent. CAK in a cake walk.
