  1. Alcoa stud RT Lance Williams doesn’t appear to be dressed for the second half, with ice packs on his left shoulder.
  2. Alcoa will be able to have a running clock by the second half…if they want to.
  3. Almost that time guys and gals! I was glad to see Alcoa scrimmage some great competition like Baylor. Baylor should be a tough out for most DII schools this year. Loved the Harris kid, as a UT fan I'm glad to know that he'll be in Knoxville next year, (even though he was running his mouth a lot to the Alcoa team and bench). As usual, Alcoa will be Alcoa I feel like. My initial concerns for the '17 squad are breaking in three new starters on the O-line and secondary, and you could kind of tell that we were doing just that yesterday. Besides some well-drawn up screen calls, there wasn't much on display from the throw game, but considering Tykee didn't scrimmage and is almost assured a TD per game, that is not too alarming. The 3-headed rushing attack looked great, they all three seem to bring a different style to the backfield. Defense should be tough as always. I think while slightly inexperienced our secondary has talent. The LB's are the complete opposite, full of returning experience and talent, and I like the D-line, especially with Salter moving to end. He was the most impressive player to me yesterday. The kicking and punting is set for the next three years.
  4. We should have the weapons to be right be in Cookeville again. On defense we return most of our top LB's and half of the secondary is back, obviously the biggest hole to fill will be the D-line after 3 of the 4 starters signed division one scholarships. Offense should be a lot better. Basically the whole O-line is back, you'll have two or three experienced RB's return in what will mist likely be another balanced rushing attack with no real feature back, and Myers to Ogle-Kellogg should potentially be one of the best QB to WR duos in the area. Should be another fun year
  5. It has been 11 years actually. Huntingdon represented the west back in 2004.
  6. You are aware many many schools in the state are open zone don't you? Alcoa has been for years and it's funny that once they have sustained success and one of the best coaching staffs in the state during the run of success people are always quick to whine. Let me be clear again since some of you are hard of hearing/understanding: most schools in this state are open zone
  7. I still think CPA is #1 until a team in their class proves they can beat them. Like my Tornadoes they lost to a perennial state power, who may have a few losses, but I guarantee they aren't chopped liver. CAK could end up being the best of the bunch. Their offense seems to be on par with state title teams of the past. Can't wait to see them come to Goddard Field and square off against one of the best defenses Alcoa has ever put on the field.
  8. Is the game at Alcoa? I'm almost certain we played them at Goddard last year, and every schedule I've seen says we play the at home again. Is that right?
  9. I think it's been mentioned both teams have great defenses (joke). In all seriousness, I've seen both play and I'm glad to see both doing well, especially on that side of the ball. It's really hard to tell but I'm going 17-14 Mo West, with the Trojans knocking through a late FG.
  10. 1. Maryville 2. Brentwood Academy 3. MBA 4. Oakland 5. CPA 6. MUS 7. Alcoa 8. Blackman 9. Baylor 10. Independence Next 10 (no order)- Ooltewah, Fulton, Union City, Arlington, Morristown West, Whitehaven, CAK, McCallie, Riverdale, Hillsboro It's really hard to say, and this is just myedumacated guess, there's alot of solid teams across the state
  11. Sounds like we really spread it around. McNear, Shereef, and Myers all had rushing scores. Matt McClurg hauled in a score from Myers, which is good to see him get some time at TE, and Woody took one to the house on what I'm assuming was a double pass from Clabough. Obviously the defense played lights out, halfway through the season and the first teamers have allowed only one score to teams not named Maryville. Pretty impressive. On to Lower Blount County to face a Heritage team who has been playing a little better the last few weeks. They have a couple of very shifty RB's and an experienced QB.
  12. Two, what I'm assuming, grown men wanting to get into a physical confrontation over high school football and what's being said on a high school football thread. T-minus half an hour til this one's locked.
  13. 2000 Defense was the fastest defense. Fastest everything actually. You had at least 3 backs and a QB who all ran at least in the 4.5-4.4 range, I believe alcoachamp might've been flirting with that 4.3 range. Most talented defense had to have been the '05 squad. Two of the best DE's in the country with Warren and Sykes, a D1 LB in Lindsey, and Sommer was one of the best in his class at corner. Add Love, Hicks, White, Lanxter, Walker, etc... '08 was my favorite. Beside T-Rob off the edge, really no huge stars. Sam Thompson led that defense, and was one of the smartest players to come through Alcoa. Such a great safety! '89, '01, '06-'10, and '12-present have all had great defenses, it's really hard to choose. As long as Nix is calling the shots well always have a great defense.
  14. Another game that the youngsters should get plenty of game action. 48-7 good guys
  15. Wow, hate I missed this one! I'm proud of the 'nadoes for going toe to toe with hands down the best football program in this state. Sounds like our defense played their hearts out and Rankin dialed up some high risk- high reward plays when it mattered most and our offense executed them. Been saying our D-line would be the best on this side of the state since spring, but after tonight I would put them up there with anyone in Tennessee. Congrats to Maryville, first class team and first class coaching staff. Good luck the rest of the way, doubt you'll need it, but hopefully we'll see ya'll in Cookeville!
