M@xpreps has only been around since 2002 so who knows how what they would have ranked that Cleveland team.
 

To say they are the most accurate is asinine also.  There top 25 isn’t always the same as the USA Today’s or other polls.

I happen to believe that M@xpreps is the most accurate for a variety of reasons. If you take all the data into consideration I think that theirs Is the most accurate compared to usa today or etc. For example, last time I checked Oakland was I think #10 in nation, whereas on m@xpreps they are #26 which imo is a much more accurate ranking for them 

mj will win by 14-21 imo

Zoneread56! I’ve not seen you around since you were saying CPA couldn’t play with BA or MBA….

Been busy with life brotha and have not kept up w hs ball much. Until this year they could not lol, although the last few years I will say D2 has had a drop off from what it used to be even cpa themselves. Their teams from 2010-2015 were outstanding for their classification.

How do you guys see this one working out?  I know LA is very fast and puts up big numbers but will they be able to do it with the size, speed and depth of Oakland?  I don't see it happening but then again?

oakland will name the score when they play LA lol

There we go! BA's inferred superiority due to discipline and execution alone. My, how refreshing.  This could get interesting indeed!

LOL@ if WH can stay in the game. Good one. THAT made me laugh.

This is going to be a fun week.

Games with teams from memphis usually go one of two ways my man: the other team gets up by 14+ and the whole cookie crumbles due to in fighting and lack of discipline, or its a hard fought game to the wire. I see this one as more of the second option due to saulsberry being a good coach. You trying to find beef where there is none lol

If BA starts the way they have all year in the first half then it’s more than probable WH will jump out on top. If they crank it up like they have in the second half early then we shall see.

it will be interesting for sure

First post on the T in a good bit. After watching the BA game on Friday vs mccallie, I have to say Ba is severely out manned up front on dline. They do not have the front to run a 3-4 Like in years past so if a team likes to ground and pound then they can have success like mccallie did. The BA d coordinator seems to be stuck in his ways because even on those great teams from 2015-2017 BA was having to score 35-40+ a game at times to win. Now, even though BA still has athletes on offense, it’s not nearly the same as in the past especially at the WR position group, so it’s gonna have to make the D play better defense whereas in years past they could just get 2-3 stops and win the game on just offense. That being said BA still has the advantage on DaHaven imo Bc of how disciplined they are and their execution on O. If whitehaven can come out and stay in the game up to half and into the 3rd it could get interesting to see how it plays out. Should be a good game and good atmosphere!

maxi preppy is a popularity poll.HA! Only people paying for the site can vote.

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION is the OFFICIAL Media and Coaches poll.

I know it kills ya to hear........BUT LOL! There it is!

not true lol if you are telling me rn that alcoa is in the same area as allen, img, etc you are delusional and have watched no football outside of TN. oakland is wayyyy better than alcoa and not above them on that poll lol. m axpreps is a much better site for ranking teams ik it hurts your pride bc alcoa is in the 300's but its true

if a team struggles with upperman high school and let me say that again: UPPERMAN HIGH SCHOOL, they are no where near top 25 in nation hahaha

Listen hear CHIP, there is no reason to cry about it, you said Rankin and Alcoa does not play "big boys" I just simply proved you with facts. I am sorry it somewhat dissolves some of your boy crush on the real truths about "BIG Boy" FOOTBALL! 

ALCOA TORNADOES Big Boy Football Killers!

they have not played a team from d2 since 2006. Rankin only plays Maryville every yr bc he has too. He left riverdale bc he realized a lot of his players were going to be pulled from the other newer schools in ruth co and saw the writing on the wall and dipped out. case in point is riverdale has only had one or 2 solid teams since he left and fallen off very bad within last 7-8yrs. alcoa does not play up or play out of state teams. 

all these just show that Rankin is scared of playing against good quality opponents week in and week out instead of beating up on small county schools and ducks competition but you alcoa fans are so brainwashed bc you think a 3a title in TN is the pinnacle of football achievement in a league that everyone knows alcoa is gonna win every yr in a open zone county. Im done arguing with you bc you are brainwashed believing alcoa is just g*d's chosen team

Just like a big sissy would do, facts are facts look at who McCallie played RIGHT before Alcoa! HA! 

You can't stand it! 

Alcoa and Rankin took the #1 Private down!! Too bad they will not come and get some more!!!

no they did not lol the top private is the one who wins state at end of yr. a team which alcoa didnt beat that season. stop trying to hijack this thread just bc you have a bias against private schools and any team that is not alcoa. this thread is about discussing the BA whitehaven game not some alcoa bs. rankins moaning is the whole reason there is a public private split to begin with so do not come on here starting stuff "sissy boy"

History suggests it isn't. Show me a great SC team and I'll show you a program that gets bumped in the playoffs against an athletically superior team. You can't coach speed

not denying this at all. however if you had the combined teams of gville and sc as discussed previously, then you would have a very good amount of speed on that team and could play with people

Several more deep playoff runs, yes. Multiple state championships, no. Not enough speed even with both schools combined. 

debatable

Those are Sissy private school boys and FAR from the Men that fought the battle of tyranny under the Cross of St. Andrews flag.

since Rankin has been at Alcoa, he is prefect against Privates Webb, Knox. Catholic, McCallie and 13-3 to CAK.

lol not against cpa lmao and you are stupid for what you think lol buck up and play some big boys rankin is shakin in his boots 

ik BA used to have one in their weight room not sure if they still do. interesting tho ill have to research what happened with them

If combined, they would be a 5a school, most likely, and I believe they would compete every year with the right staff.

I'm not opposed to it, but I don't think it will ever happen. I don't think the rivalry is the reason. I think most simply just don't want a school that big.

I think both schools have done rather well for themselves. Gville has championships in football and softball and tournament appearances in baseball. SC has semi appearances in football, and let's face it, that's an accomplishment being on the same side of the bracket as Alcoa. And their baseball team has a couple of tournament appearances. I believe those things are indicative of competing at a high level.

not denying anything you said bc its true. those deep runs by carthage and championships by gville are always several yrs apart instead of being consistent. however since maynard has left carthage,it seems that the program has drastically fallen off what it used to be. gordonsville it hasnt been as bad but to an extent it has. combining the schools makes the most economical sense as well as for sports and school purposes.

this is comical man. MJ would 100% not beat BA or MUS or mccallie  and probably MBA (who you chose not to rank). just bc they played oakland close doesnt mean they would be 2 in state lol. heck greeneville would probably beat them

I have spoken with the person that actually schedules the games. It is a home and home, and BA will go to Whitehaven in 2020 while still paying them. They don't mind traveling anywhere. BA will go to GA, Al, and Memphis next year. They have gone to LA(to play a Texas team), KY, Memphis, and MS in the last few years. Be careful what you wish for! I wish Ensworth would schedule some out of state teams for us to play!

Exactly lol people think Ba is scared to go and play people. They have been to olive branch which is basically Memphis a few times not counting other out of state teams 

Until smith county and Gordonsville combine schools then the county schools will never be dominant in sports. All that it does is split the resources and talent across 2 schools for no reason other than some baby boomers and their precious rivalry. Newsflash: the younger people there want to combine bc it makes the most sense for the county. Imagine how good the combined Carthage and Gordonsville football teams from like 2000-2012would have been. More than likely would have multiple state championships. Ive heard also that SC doesn’t have a athletics director so that’s never a good thing. That job could be desirable but under the current circumstances then no one would really wanna mess with it. I remember when Maynard was there that stadium was constantly packed out in black and now it’s barely anyone at games and only 30 or so players. It’s sad

Discussion on another thread led me to thinking about how good this years  team was. 

This is what Alcoa did on the field this year.

Undefeated .

 Only allowed one team to score more than 17 points

1st team to win at Maryville in 76 games ( since 2010)

Outscored region 299-8.

1st 3A team to defeat the defending state champion in the states largest classification

6 regular season shutouts. 8 shutouts including playoffs.

Beat the team that beat the 6A state champs.

#24 ranked team in the nation and I believe the #1 ranked public school  team with under 700 students in the nation. ( still working on confirming the 2nd part) 

 How does this team compare with '89, '09. '10  etc?

Ranked #24????? On what poll? If it’s not the unapproved website website Poll then it’s essentially not worth anything. Everyone knows that Is the real poll that’s the hardest to get ranked on. Alcoa is like 400 something on that one lol. However the 2009 alcoa team is possibly the best one I have ever seen. That team that yr was #2 in the state behind the nationally ranked Barry Brunetti led MUS owls who were like 26-0 his last 2 yrs. 09 Alcoa was insanely good along with cobbs senior yr

so leading the entire nation in scoring does not make your team great? I mean come on man. 

No it doesn’t bc it was in 1937. WW2 hadn’t even happened yet. A team from 1937 is not great by today’s standards get real
