You are obviously clueless. Go watch their summer workouts and fall practices. They are open to the public. Then you will understand that you don't know what you are talking about. Student athletes want to go there so that they can be developed for a chance to play college ball. Not the other way around. They are NOT just loaded with D1 dudes. Most of them are from Blount county anyway. Alcoa has been dominant for nearly the entire 21st century but the transfers are more of a recent thing. Is it better to be the best player at Carter or AE and win 3-4 games a season or be a good player on a good team and have a chance to call yourself a champion? 5 playoff games a year times 4 is 20 extra games over your high school career to get tape, 20 extra weeks of development. And they make the players they have better, regardless of the innate ability or natural talent those guys have. Plus it is one of the top public school systems in the state. If I’m a player or parent its an easy choice.

Maybe not how the football team operates. But complaining about student numbers in the school is. They beat teams that have students bodies 3 and 4 times their size. Thats hard work. Even if you have better players, depth comes into play at that point. So for someone to complain about them lying on their numbers is just pathetic. AE and Alcoa student pops are almost identical. I stand by what i said, if other schools don't like it, put in the work to get better.

Yes, poor wording on my part i suppose. Just tired of hearing a grown man cry about something so trivial.

No one said i havent done it;)

If you say so lol. And if youre talking about Bearden “out-recruiting” (which they are, but i digress), why didn't they beat Alcoa last year? You can worry about someone else’s grass or put time and effort into making your own grass greener. Just stop crying about enrollment numbers.

Do they call you turtle because you like to hide in your shell? Last i checked, literally punching someone doesnt win games, in any sport at any level. You are delusional and sound like everyone who fears Alcoa. They don't recruit and there is less than 700 kids in that building. Kids go there because they want to win and the coaching staff does it the right way. By putting time and effort into their kids. All the programs whining about it need to take a long look in the mirror and put in the work necessary to win instead of praying that Alcoa moves up. East Nash didn't complain while pearl cohn and milan ran from the challenge. And i have the utmost respect for that. Every good coach knows that any state championship in 3A worth anything goes through Alcoa and anything less should have an asterisk next to it. What happened to being competitive? If i were a coach i would LOVE the opportunity to coach against a program like that. Some people are just built different i guess…. LOL

Will lexington go after him for their opening?
