I:ve heard a lot of the same. Milan doesn't run a spread, veer, or wing t and all those offenses play into Aloca's strength on defense. Turnovers and time of possession will decide the winner of this one.
2879 yds. rushing
1966 yds. passing
Alcoa is favored ( a four time defending champ should be) but they have to play 4 quarters against a Milan team that has the coaching staff and players capable of beating them.
Forget the gates (although the gate would be huge) and the wins. D1 scouts follow Henry Co. and it can't be nothing but a positive for Milan to play them and have their better players exposed to that.
Too bad that will all end for JCS after this season. I just don't understand leaving D1 and going to play the Harding, Bishop Byrne, and the St. George's of the world. Coach Stewart can spin it all he wants but winning a state championship against those 11-12 teams means nothing more than winning a region championship.
You guys compete well here and the d1 district you were going to be in next year is easier than 8-2A.
Milan looked like an average team against Westview. That needs to change this week against a team that will be coming to Johnnie Hale with something to prove.
