They’ve only been in 3A the last 11 years and they have lost to a public 3A team in that time. If your going to post stuff on here please know what your talking about so you don’t make yourself look stupid. 

And who was that? I’m well aware they were in 2A prior. Huntingdon had them down bad and lost 2004. Just Bc u have a lot of post doesn’t mean anything. Who was the last public school in 3A to beat Alcoa. 

Ol Gary sure can win with everybody else’s talent. 

DE from Georgia? How many actual players grew up in Alcoa? Trust me. It’s been turned in.

Throwdeslant to our maryville WR from our Knoxville west QB. So Alcoa it hurts. What did Rankin tell the before starter??? What Pruitt told Shrout?

Like it or not Alcoa is in 3A. So if your school is in that classification then you’ll more than likely be playing for 2nd for the foreseeable future. They are just that good.  Now they aren’t good enough to win 6A state championships year in and year out but they can compete with most anyone in 6A outside of a few teams.  Rankin has built a solid program and you cannot fault the kids for wanting to come and play for him.  You see this same kind of thing in every sport in every state.  So at the end of the day just give credit where credit is due. Congratulations to the Alcoa Tornadoes on yet another State Championship. 

Like it or not, you don’t lose a 3 A public game in 20 yrs without some BS going on

Shannon mitchell, Billy William's, David Davis, Al Davis., George, off the top of my head.

Back when having players from your HOMEtown mattered. Not so much anymore. Alcoa should be investigated by the TSSAA and or closed the zones.

Until they vacate it. Whispers are it’s coming.

He’s got a system alright.

Alcoa went for 2 to set up the ending of the game with the clock running so that they could take a timeout on the final play of the game and get #12 on the field to honor his efforts as a senior football player.  That's why they went for 2 in that situation.  Quit crying about it please.  It makes you look like a sore loser.  It sounds like the Milan radio crew is a 'must hear' for all sports fans. 

 

Congrats to the Alcoa Tornadoes on State Championship #19.  Going for #20 next year as a program is uncharted territory for anyone.  People can talk about "playing up" all they want to but at the end of the day their kids play the schedule they're dealt and all they do is win at the highest level.  

Congrats to Coach Gary Rankin on win #453 and State Championship #16.  That's not too shabby for a Smith County native who began his coaching career at 0-10 back in 1982.  It just goes to show how much society has changed in this "instant results" world that we live in nowadays.    

Gary Rankin is a crook. It’s a shame the TSSAA has let this go on for as long as it has. It isn’t the play calling that’s won him the titles. Anybody with a brain can see the teams were formed by the tranfers. U might have 2 or 3 kids that look the part, but 22 of them is a little much. It’s a joke. 

The ridge!!!

At the beginning of the season no, but I will say it now, Milan would win by 14 minimum imo and I am not partial to either team, just call it how I see it. Peabody wouldnt beat Pearl Cohn imo, no disrespect to PB, Milan just got much better over the course of the season.....

PC with 30 penalties. That game was over if they could line up and run a play .do u know who you’re playing at 11 am Friday . Lawd

I never said Peabody was as not the better team. They were the better team and I listed several reasons why. Easley played less than 5 snaps in that game so I should have been more specific. He is on the field every play now. Big difference. And yes line play won. A lot of that had to do with a veteran line returning and no live action or scrimmages for the team. And yes I know you didn’t have any either but when all of them have starting experience In the system under the current staff and we don’t that makes a huge difference.  Again Peabody was definitely the better team that night. Just listing my reasons why I’m my opinion. 

Doesn’t matter who was the RB. Peabody blasted Milan in the trenches. Get over it already. You’ve made 21 excuses since that game. Peabody lost how many playmakers last year? A sophomore qb diced u up. A jr rb  and a jr wr and a nice OL. None have offers. The kid from liberty has an Alabama offer. Can we stop this now lol
