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!

I think even Stevie Wonder could see who was responsible for it. Trezevant seems like a real classy group of people....

Ill go to my grave saying GQ is the best Tennessee High School Football coach!! 6A, THE (big) BOYS are back!!

Blount County reigns supreme AGAIN!!!!!!

Hold that ball kid!!!! Cmon Rebs!!!

Nobody is going to deny that they are playing up but that 02 Maryville team would have probably smoked most if not all of the teams in the state championship this year.

lol, I would never fight with Stink in any way. No matter his opinion on my opinion we share one thing in common and always will. Unless they declare me ineligible for being an Out of Zone player LOL

Stink, Im not gonna chase you back and forth between threads trying to defend myself. Im the first one to admit when Alcoa does something wrong and I get bashed for it. Im also the first one that will admit when another team does something wrong...and still get bashed for it. I openly admitted that discipline cost Alcoa the 01 title. That's not news to anyone. Ive also openly admitted that Rankin/Reid have brought something to Alcoa that they never had before (Coaching and a tremendous weight program). If you feel the need to discuss this matter further with me you're more then welcome to add me on facebook and send me a message. Ill gladly talk to you about it all you would like.

Hey, I said my peace and moved on to watch the Maryville game. It was someone else, sadly and ALCOA COACH, that felt the need to come here with trying to make things "personal". If you dont like my opinions then you're more then welcome to ignore my posts. Ive got nothing personal against Stink and I acknowledge him everytime I see him out. Where the sudden personal attack came from though I dont know nor will it effect my feelings towards him. Thats all Ive got to say.

There is nothing to be jealous of Mr. Rainer. I dont see what going for 2 does right there. Kick the XP and move on. If you get the ball back, run the ball. if you score then so be it. You can call me anything you want, I think my screen name, like yours, pretty much gives away who I am. Im not trying to hide anything and never will.

Actually Stink, I believe YOU played on those teams that hung 70. I stood on the sidelines. Doesnt mean I agree with it. Meadows might do the same thing, I dont see what that has to do with anything though. I dont play for or coach with Meadows. Im surprised how all of the sudden its "my beloved" Scott Meadows. I didnt see you telling him "Hey coach, lets not hang 70 on Wartburg or Chuckey Doak".
