  1. Giles County vs Gatlinburg-Pitman.....I give the edge to GP. They were better Defensively.  Giles had a better running game. GP had a better passing game. Special teams pretty even. But, again GP was much better at stopping the run. My guess GP would beat Giles by 7 points????

    Watching GP 35 years never seen any thing like that. It's true transfer can have baggage home grown have never done anything like that. Play calling was to bland to complete with Alcoa. It was a disappointment for fans. Fans were ready to see our two d1 receiver play to there potential. Hard to watch 

    I would not cite the play calling for the two D1 receivers not getting the ball enough.  Alcoa can match elite D1 talent and worked on just that all week, checking up receivers at the line of scrimmage, well before they get into their routes, and over the top coverage from the safeties. Hence, the multiple interceptions, uncharacteristic of QB, Hammonds. It was not the Coaches throwing the ball. Plus, the defense put pressure and hurried Hammonds all game. 

    On defense, GP picked their poison.  They elected to load the box and slow down Alcoa’s run game. This gave Alcoa pretty easy throws to move the ball. GP, never adjusted.  I probably wouldn't have either. It was the responsibility of GP's D1 talent in the secondary to cover Alcoa Recivers and Tightend. That's tough, with Alcoa having D1 players also.

    The GP game broadcast announcers were under the delusion that Alcoa was down and not a typical Alcoa team based on their comments before the game?? Not sure where they got that, but, if the Coaches and Players thought the same, I guess they were a bit shocked? B)

    Not true! 2 got hurt. Looked like maybe a shoulder and 7 had several catches in the second half… The GP defense was their major problem. Did well slowing the Tornado run game between tackles, but couldn’t defend the pass (especially #0). He had his way with any defender GP put on him ALL NIGHT LONG!

    The second issue with GP was the offensive line. QB was under pressure most of the night. Took way too many shots. Lack of depth showed up early.

    Good luck next season! :thumb:
     

     

    I got a kick out of the Game Announcers. Especially, the comment "how many of those players came from somewhere other than Alcoa?"

    Classic!......when GP had TWO stars/starters on the field that transferred in from Georgia. And, I will not EVEN start about GP and their Girl's Basketball Program.....:popcorneater:

    One thing GP learned....transfers can come with some baggage. :bored:

    He goes around to all the game threads and says the same thing. I guess he thinks it’s funny. I and most other posters I have talked to just think there is something wrong with him. I mean really. Who says this same thing over and over?  He’s got issues.

    The fact that the remaining players were FRESHMEN and sophomores  for AE as well though.  But your incoming freshman class haven't beat AE's incoming freshman class so you better start recruiting now.  

    Wrong. Alcoa Freshman did not play AE. At the Middle School level, Alcoa plays in the MAC league. Alcoa is the team to beat. Keep thinking AE going to have something for Alcoa in the future.:lol:

    Talking about future.....

    I don't see AE on the list? Sad, the feeder programs are the key to success.

    I'm sure it's just an old internet rumor and nothing REMOTELY close to true, but doesn't Alcoa have an enrollment cap? Yanno, to kind of, uh, remain 3A?

    Nope. New school has been open for 3 years. The cap was the old school and enrollment numbers in the high 400's. Alcoa is now at 683 Enrollment.  Class 3A cap is around 740.

    No rumors....check my numbers! :thumb:

    The same question will be ask AGAIN in 4 -5 years. Yes, the feeder system is by far the best in the state.

    I'm taking Giles 37-35 the key game that show how much Giles has improved is the Page game they loose by 1 point in overtime on a questionable call now Page is playing for 5a state title I've watched this team mature and improve drastically after each game. Plus I think a little payback is on order.Giants do fall.

    Heard of West High School, Defending 5A champs, the team to beat in 5A again this year?

    Only one loss on the their schedule. Might want to see who it is.:thumb:

    Yup, Giants might fall....OR, crush a little boobcat. :lol:
