Totally agree. Alcoa's four freshman running backs would start for any other team in the region. It's been a blast to call their games. I think AE is too good to only put up one TD against Alcoa in two games. But they're a second half team. The Tornadoes should be up by 3+ TDs at the break and I think Austin East will simply score a few times on reserves. But you're totally right. Those young guys have made huge progress this season.

Agree with this. BA is a step above everyone else in TN this year. But they have been shaky in the first half of a few games this year. Ensworth and Father Ryan gave them trouble early. I think McCallie puts a little pressure on in the first half on Friday, but in the end BA ends up winning by 3+ TDs again.

I've called Alcoa games all season on Diamondclearmedia.com. This first installment of this game was the best performance the Tornadoes' defense has put up all season. I expect more of the same on Friday. If Hunter is back, and I expect he'll play in a game of this magnitude, he can't turn the ball over. Taking Alcoa in another big win, but I do think AE will put up more points than last time around if Hunter is able to go.
