hello all...I have been trying to find a place to plug my two cents in and it may as well be here. I have been reading all these arogant remarks by both Loudon and alcoa. if you all are in any way as knowledgable about HS sports as you say you are , then you know that on any given Friday anything can happen. I am a Loudon backer. I graduated from there and I have had sons to play on the team. matter of fact one is one the team this year. I will the Alcoa team my best wishes. they will need them because some folks in here have set them up on a pedestal of some of the greek gods and frankly once you do that other teams are licking there chops to bring them down. ie. Loudon, CAK, Rockwood ,Wartburg and Sweetwater. I really think Loudon is looking pretty good this year but I am comparing them the the past 3-4 years and with that a blind team of volley ball players may have beat them at times. I know thaey could have out coached them. lets please let these boys play football and not feel the preasure of the fans. this is the best years of there life and they need to feel it. it doesn't matter if you are 1-9 or 10-2, if you are not playing in the big game in December then you are all the same....just another spectator. and for whatever it was that the coaches started it needs to stay with the coaches. I will be the first to say that Loudon have a crappy coaching staff. they are all arogant and none of them have the kids best interest at heart. I have heard coach Harig make comments to the media about J-Hawk being a D-1 player. the kid is good but if you take the other 10 members of the field he is nothing and the same goes for all the D-1's at Alcoa. this is a team effort. not a game of lookie at what I can do....I wish all the luck in the world to Alcoa and Loudon... a real measurement of success is looking back on this game 10 years from now and saying that we played hard and fair and our lives are in order....( no one in prison)
