Been waiting for this since December! Time for the F5 to keep on rolling!!!

:D :D

I said I WISH he would...I didnt say he needs to or should. Comprehend my friend

Departing Offensive Starters (listed from BCBS Bowl Depth Chart) Austin Tallent (QB) Darrell Warren (TB) Taharin Tyson (FB) Steven Isom (WR) Caleb Mangnum (OL) Derek Evans (OL) Departing Defensive Starters Warren (DE) Tallent (S) Isom (CB) Jonivan Henry (DE) Stanley Johnson (DT) Jordan Patrick (LB) As for what Alcoa has next year....They're line is still pretty much intact. They only lose 2 listed starters but I believe there was one guy that subbed a lot so technically you're only losing 1 starter. The key position that looks like its going to hurt will be at the Running Back Position. Vanderbilt Hambrick returns but anyone that has seen him knows he's not a big guy. Alcoa, right now, does have that big bruiser back like Warren and Tyson were. I think #44 Zach Chapman is going to have to step up to fill that role. He's a big kid that got lots of playing time this year. The other main battle/question mark will be the Quarterback play. Its honestly Landon Turbyfill's job to lose. He's been the back up all year long and fits Rankin's system more. Turbyfill has had some injuries in the past though so that will be something to keep an eye on. Turbyfill will be battling current Freshman QB Austin Morgan for the starting position. Morgan has a better arm but isnt as mobile as Turbyfill. He's more of your prototypical pocket QB. Whats holding him back the most is the fact he's a bone yard. He's really gonna have to pack on some pounds in the offseason to have a strong chance. Korey Bach will pretty much be used as a clean up QB. He's got an average arm but is just too big to be an effective QB. Wouldn't surprise me if he doesnt get moved to another position to fit his play. This all according to what the Middle School has coming up. Ive only seen them play about a half this year. The key to Rankin that Ive seen the past couple years is once he gets a solid lead he puts in the backups. Giving those kids playing time means a ton down the line as they get older. Alcoa will no doubt be ready

Goodpasture had good players too. Alcoa will win this one easy. Wish we could have gotten Webb first.

Alcoa Ensworth Maryville Greeneville Alcoa Maryville Alcoa

Kinda disappointed its Cleveland. Was hoping Alcoa would get Webb next year. Cleveland hasnt been relevant since...well like the mid 90s

What's this whole thing about Rankin cant coach? The only people I hear say that is Rutherford Co people who felt he took all of the talent while at Riverdale and now at Alcoa. They guy can coach...PERIOD. Personally, no, I dont think he's better then GQ and I never will but you've seen what Alcoa has been able to do against very good Maryville teams since Alcoa has had him as coach. GQ is high on the list but Rankin is right there behind him and anyone that doesnt realize that probably needs to stop watching football.

I wish Prevo would transfer back to alcoa. He would be a beast running the ball for us.

Im gonna say Alcoa and Maryville are easily 1 and 2. Im going to leave #3 blank for now though. Greeneville has the hype to be the best but simply put in 15 games, they didnt play anyone. That hurts greeneville a lot when looking at "whos best". Its the Boise St rule, we cant count you until you do something impressive. If you dont slip the Devils in then give the spot to Webb. Everyone else doesnt really matter to me.

I think you're thinking of Nick Giles. Im not sure but was it Phillips or a Maples kid that was suppose to be QB that year? I know he missed the game because of the money thing and Merritt took over for at least the Alcoa game

I think its clear we need a BCS for high school football!!! The playoffs clearly arnt working!

I think DevilMan03 beat me to it haha

Was it followed by GOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLLL?? If so you may have been listening to the wrong kinda football haha

Ill accuse them if you like. People already complain about my opinions anyway!
