Rankin is a winner and he'll make a championship school even better :D

Yes, and they did it without some key contributors like Lanxter, Shiverdecker, Hicks, Stultz, Hodge, etc. Coach Rankin told some folks recently that the runningback depth is just crazy for a school as small as Alcoa.

Yes, at Catholic Thursday May 18th.

 

Hopefully I can make this one sense I missed the A-E scrimmage.

 

Who, started at RB for Alcoa in the A-E scrimmage?.............Actually could someone do a quick run down of the kids that got valuable playing time with the other players still competing in other sports?

 

Sounds like they did a great job also! ;)

 

Thanks

Daryl Tate was the Tailback. I was in Alcoa today and the folks I talked to said he has bulked up and looked really good. Alcoa was missing 14 players according to the folks I talked to and they are close to the program. They have a lot of talent at runningback.

Yes we will be very deep at RB. Chris Shiverdecker was an 1,000 rusher last year, FB James Stultz ran for 600 yards, and Jr., Troy Hodge, Jr. Cameron Battles and Sr., Darrell Tate, will all get plenty of carries this year, plus we have a QB that isn't afraid to run either.

Darrell Tate was outstanding at running back during the scrimmage, running through several tackles. Randall Cobb, QB, took his first snap since October. He was a little rusty at first, but as time went on, he developed his rhythm and looked very good. I believe he threw 3 TDs to Brian Sommer, two of which were 40 yds or more. He also looked good on pitches and runs.

 

Defensively, Rae and Bobby seemed to be everywhere. JD also had some good hits. Alex Green made a couple of good plays, also. Brian had an interception. Alcoa was burned twice on long passing plays, however. Considering we played without both safeties (Lanxter and Thompson), two LBs (Hicks and Hodge), 2 WRs (Lanxter and Thompson), and 5 RBs (Shiverdecker, Hodge, Battle, Stultz, and Hicks), I'd say it was a pretty good day!

Thanks! Great info. How is the depth chart @ QB?

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
