No, its dealing with Knox County not NC.. Hoping to have everything resolved by this weekend and then have the official announcement at the Alumni Game

Still haven't heard an official word yet. However, Stevens is the name i'm hearing but just waiting on the final word

No sir, they're tied 1-1 for the season. So I wouldn't necessarily say they have their number now the District and Region tournaments is going to be wild. GP, AE, and Alcoa are all really good teams but somebody gots to go home and not make the State Tournament

You have talked about Every and everybody and every team/sport and I APPROVE this message!

Well, you better get used to it and make sure you tell every basketball team in the State that plays that song during their warm ups it gives them a bad look. AE will play Alcoa as close as any team in the state if you don't believe watch me. Alcoa isn't all that!

But the rematch of the Austin East vs Fulton game is this Saturday at Austin East. Come pack the gym at Clifford Ross gymnasium

Higgins is a good coach, you just have to be patient

Because AE got it like that and Staton misses AE!

Let's not change on what you said earlier. I told you that all it takes a proven Coach but you've been saying for the last month, AE is goign to get mercy ruled by everyone stick to that and don't change up because Coach is making a come back. Like the song goes, "That Get back a Mofo....." That's going to be the song AE runs out to this coming year and the band going to play it too.

For one, if you grew up in East Knoxville and went threw all the schools in East Knoxville then it won't be as hard to play for AE. Like many say, Its HARD TO BE A ROADRUNNER!! If they want to go somewhere else and play there let them . These coaches can only coach up what they have there and wants to be there. Another thing, things happen all over the city not just at AE so make sure you mention that as well.

Sounds about right but we’ll be ok . I think everyone will be pleased with the hire that’s going to be announced next week

BTW , I'm hearing the job has been offered just waiting on KCS to approve it. An announcement should come by next Friday.

See that's what AE students face daily, the stereotype about the school and community in general. Don't knock AE nor its community because there's plenty of folks that's live and love that community. Its just outsiders like yourself that makes AE a bad place not knowing its a special place in many eyes.

Line was fairly young this year … so we good there . We are 1 or 2 play makers away . Hopefully, the 8th graders will fulfill their commitment and come on up to AE.

That's true and then they allow them to play in 1 varsity game to make it harder for them to transfer out without a legal move into that high school zone.

HVA was the 2nd ones to announce of the coach stepping down. I'm just shocked Central haven't hired anyone yet. AE will be making an announcement before 2/1/2024. That snow storm pushed things back

AE Baby Roadrunners had a team in every youth league championship besides the 10 U because they didn't fill a team. 7u Runner Ups, 8U champs, 9U champs, 11U /12U (6th and &7th Grade) Champs, 13/14U Runner Ups. I disagree with your statement about AE would never be back, I think with the right coach in hand (Like Stevens) they will be back and be able to keep players home. I think the Cherry's have shown others that it can be done at AE if you just give AE a chance. Look at the turn around the basketball team has had since Shane has been there. With the right Coach, the football team can do the same. Many of the outside coaches uses the killing inside of AE as a recruiting tool. I know a player that was told to tell the KCS transfer office that they were having nightmares of that incident and can't get an education at AE because of it, just to get the transfer approved. Did it get approved, "Yes" but the coaches that did that recruiting didnt talk to the guardian so it backfired in their face. Its Hard Being a Roadrunner and with the right coach, they will make it even harder to recruit AE's zoned kids. I'm telling you the 8th and 7th graders from Vine Middle that's zoned for AE right now are all thinking /talking about going to AE and bringing the State Titles back in all sports. So never say AE won't be back because they will be making State runs sooner than you think.

All it takes is the right coach to get land there. Just continue thinking no changes will happen at AE. You see how the basketball team has turned around, now its time for the football team to do it. All it takes is the right coach.

Yea I'm pretty sure we were watching 2 different games because Carter was winning that game 14-13 at halftime. Then Carter went up 35-13, then AE scored to make it 35-20 and then Carter scored one more. 42-20 was the final score if I'm not mistaken. 3 bad years at AE and yall think they've been in the gutter for so long its funny. I hope Graham or Stevens gets the job and we run rule all you haters out there. Halls, Carter, and anyone else that wants to say AE is lame.

So you're telling me that all the opening jobs in the state of Tennessee, AE is the stepping stone for first year coaches? AE is such a downer program that no one wants the job and its a laughable job? Is that what you're saying? I'm pretty sure there's been a lot of first year coaches that have applied at other schools. As one of the AE basketball mottos is, "Everybody vs US". AE will be back just give it time, the youth program had a few struggling years but they bounced back. Now its time to get the High School to bounce back. If you don't believe me just watch its success in the next few years.

1. Not having a hard time hiring a coach, this snow has pushed everything back because School hasn't been in session. By the way it was over 60 something applicants that applied for the AE job. The AD is narrowing the numbers down and will probably hire a coach before Central hires one . 2. Alcoa has mercy ruled everyone team in our region , don't just point fingers at AE if you can't mention the other teams in the region getting mercy ruled 3. Reaching the State Title game is going to take a lot with Alcoa in our region, no team has touched them even came close to beating them in years. Let's be realistic here! 4. Alcoa will not beat AE by 50 points every single year, you just be talking. AE is probably the only team that don't bow down to Alcoa. 5.

All it would take is for KCS to denial a transfer and that student and parent give the school a chance.

Carter beat AE by 20 scored a late touchdown in the 4th to go up 20... Let's not say they would smoke AE. Bet you a dime to a quarter AE beats Carter this coming year... HATERS FALL BACK

Uh, Alcoa was the only team that mercy ruled AE this year. Let's not say A LOT ... I can't wait til we get back on top so we can shut these haters up!!

What are they getting into?
