Handsome feller ain't he.

TSSAA website has Maryville at 1684 students. That is a legit 6A school. Cut off is at around 1550 for 5A. Heritage has 1559 students. They should kick 9 kids out LOL!! I agree Alcoa needs to move it on up . On a different note , I like seeing this spirited banter between the two schools like we used to see on here 10 years ago or so. And I am an old Alcoa guy but the F5 blew it (no pun intended). If you don't move on the 4th and inches in the 1st half when you had to kick a field goal and then you don't fumble on the 1 yard line in the 4th we are not discussing holding calls , real or imagined. You must take advantage of your opportunities. Unfortunately for the Naders the Rebels did.

Alcoa 38- 0 at the end of the 3rd. The F5 is beginning to sub as the mercy clock ticks away.

No need to be concerned with CAK after this season. They are moving to DII.

Alcoa has a listed enrollment this year @ 656 students. That makes them officially a 3A school. According to Brian Bell , Director of Alcoa schools , the plan is to cap enrollment at 700 students which will assure them of remaining at the 3A level. ( I guess I should have put in a Nerd Alert!!) LOL

I don't see them moving up. Since they finished the new high school the plan is to add slowly and eventually top out just short of 1000 students. So , some time in the next 5-7 years they will end up in 4A.

Alcoa has 653 enrolled for this school year. That will put them middle of the pack in 3A.

Alcoa has 653 enrolled this school year. That will put them at about middle of the pack in 3A.

I agree completely that they can play with anyone.

That was true not long ago but not anymore. There are 653 enrolled at the high school this year. That is right smack in the middle of 3A.

Nix did indeed interview for the job but turned it down. This info came via Coach Nix himself.

Gotta pick Hardin Valley in this one. I saw the Govs play a couple of times early in the season and have watched a couple of more times on the BCS replay. They just do not seem to have any consistency except that they consistently fall back into bad habits.(poor tackling and foolish penalties) I don't see them winning another game this season. I hope they prove me wrong.

How bout them Mountaineers !!! I believe this is program is slowly turning the corner. Got a long way to go but this is a step in the right direction.

Don't forget quarterback and super safety Austin Tallent. He brought the thunder when he made a tackle.

Alcoa has 611 students enrolled this year at the new high school. 2A status is long gone.
