I know this is an early picture and it would not be good news for pod 1, but Alcoa would be in pod 1 before CAK. Alcoa is farther east then CAK by 5 miles or so. How would these change the seeds?

What do you think would be the outcome of a game between these two state Champs? I think CAK could score but not enough. I think Greeneville would wear them down over 4 qrts. I would go with a final of 31-17, Greeneville. I know Alcoa had thier hands full with the "Big Green" and CAK had to solid/close games with them.

Many of CAK's players have been at the school since K-1st grade. If you can forcast a player 10 years in the future, you really are a great "recruiter". I here Coach Bradley is visiting several daycares this week for the 2025 season.

How many of this year teams are Open Zone? I think two are private schools CAK and Friendship, so of the other 10 how many would be OZ?

Do you think they will change the multiplier next time they set the classes? IMO the 1.8 is to high. If they want to "punish" private schools I think 1.5 would be enough. I just hope they do not raise it.

29 consecutive year in playoffs is great. I do not know the answer but when was the last time Alcoa or Maryville missed the playoffs? CAK has only played football for 12 or so years so no they do not have a Tradition, but they do have a gold ball this century. AS far as Alcoa and Maryville they have a great history/Tradition in football in the my life time(44 years) and more gold balls then I can count.

I guess if you had lost to Austin East you would have claimed it was because they are a magnet school? Take the lose like a man and move on. He proud of your team from what I hear you are very young and should be ready to make a strong run next year. The only problem is CAK is young also.

I know this is about 6 months early to start but CAK should be the preseason #1 in 3a in 2012. I would expect that the 5F wind will be just behind them. Milan should open as a strong #3 in 2012.

Congrats to the Warriors. That Gold Ball will look good in the case. Another one to match next year will be wonderful

I think both the 08 and 09 CAK/Milan games would have been great. CAK and Milan both lost by the same score in the 08 playoffs 28-14. The only team to beat CAK in 09 was Alcoa (the only team to ever beat CAK in the 3a playoffs has been Alcoa) by 17 (reg season) and 21 (playoffs) the same margin of victory over Milan in the Championship game. In both games CAK did score while Milan was shut out. Sounds like the a CAK/Milan match up either year would have been great games.

That would take 3 more games if you include Div II. What you might do is add one game, have the Class A , Class AA and Class AAA winners play since they are currently in the same districs during the regular season. As a CAK fan, if we do beat Milan, I am not sure we would want to then face Greeneville. On the other hand, if they win, I would love to see a Powell and Maryville match up

Of the 8 Championship games played in 2010 only 2 were even close. DivII AA was 28-21 amd 6A was 23-21 The others ranged from 21 - 48 point margins of victory. Will we have closer games this year?

I know Milan has been a power for years. How many State Championships have you won and when?

I have seen many post about 3A being down this year and that may or may not be true. Just my opinion, if it were not for Alcoa, CAK might be going for thier 5th Gold Ball in a row. If Alcoa was in the West CAK would have 4 Silver balls and be taking home the Gold this year. A few facts: CAK has never been lost in the 3A playoff to a team other then Alcoa CAK lost by the same score in 2008 playoffs as Milan did in the Finals (CAK played @ Alcoa), 28-14 In both 2009 and 2010 CAK's only loses were to Alcoa. In 2009 lost by 17 and 21 to Alcoa but scores in both games. Milan was shut out 21-0 In 2010 CAK lost by 17 and 11. Alcoa won in the Championship by 34 Go Warriors!! Bring home the Gold

Maybe CAK wanted to give Alcoa somthing to look at for next week. Maybe they had planned to run the fake in the 1st half but Polk never stopped them. If CAK wanted to run the score up they would have left the starters in. Did the fake really change the outcome of the game? I think it was for teams down the road.
