CAK at Alcoa

[noquarter]

I know Alcoa is as good as there is in 2A and are a favorite to repeat as state champs.

 

With that being said, I just noticed their 5 wins (all blowouts) have come over teams with a combined 8-23 record.

That certainly doesn't do much to prepare you to take on the better teams later in the year. The CAK game will show their colors.

 

One thing about playing weak teams. You don't have as many injuries. But I would rather get ready for the playoffs playing the Maryvilles and CAK's of the world even if I lose. I also realize they have limited control over their schedule, so I am not being critical.

 

The Maryville's and cak's? what are you talking about they are not and never in my life time will be on th same level. cak is weak and alcoa will put up as many as they want.

[mcwrestler]

Yeah, Maryville and CAK are not, nor have they ever been on the same level. Maryville is Maryville and they win games. CAK is an upcoming program, but they are CAK and they are 2nd to Alcoa in the region.

All I meant was that at least CAK is a winning 2A program. I know Alcoa is strong and they should handle CAK, but at least Alcoa will be playing a team that is winning and a successful 2A program this year. Also, remember they are a smaller school and were multiplied.

 

If Alcoa doesn't feel any respect for any teams in their division, they should make the move to 3A or 4A, so they can be challenged.

Don't be so touchy. I wasn't criticizing your beloved Tornados. They have a great program and are winners. They also schedule Maryville each year and other 3A and 4A schools, so I give them credit for that. This year some of those schools were weak, but at least they scheduled them.

What's CAK's enrollment w/o the multiplier?

"Also, remember they are a smaller school and were multiplied. "

 

Remember, also, that they are a private school who chose to play with the public schools, which is why they are multiplied. I've said this again and again: Alcoa's attendance is now in the mid-range of 2A. People tend to think we're a lot bigger than we are. We have no business going up to 3A. Yes, this year some of the 3A schools were weaker than expected, but look at CAK's schedule: Webb is the toughest game they've played, and will play (aside from tomorrow's game). Giving Webb all the respect in the world: they seem to be pretty decent this year. Alcoa plays the schedule they play because 1. we have to play the teams in our region (as does CAK), and 2. we're having to find teams in middle tn to play us because the "upper echelon" of east tn. 2A schools won't put us on their schedule. I wonder if CAK is finding the same thing, or if they've even tried to schedule other 2A schools in east tn?

I read somewhere the other day that Loudon is actually suppose to be 3A...is this true? And, if so, why are they playing down to 2A? I"m sure there's a reason for it, just wondering what it is. I think I actually saw that on a posting, so I realize it may not be very accurate.

alcoafan72: tssaa has CAK's enrollment at around 250, but they have Alcoa at 386, and we're at around 480/490 right now, I think.

[bigmontana]

CAK's enrollment is about 420 now, it was 250 four years ago.

What's CAK's enrollment w/o the multiplier?

 

Alcoa Enrollment 411

CAK Enrollment 499 off of the TSSAA Web Site.

that is without the Multiplier for CAK, however this was a side note that i thought was interesting.

 

"CAK will remain 2A in football for the remainder of this classification period. Enrollment change with the multiplier moves CAk to 3A (football). However, by Board action a school cannot be moved as a result of the Multiplier in one classification period."

 

Basically saying that with the multiplier, CAK should actually be playing 3A football.

Hey, Trey:

Where did you find the attendance? I must've looked in the wrong place on the tssaa website.

I read in the paper that Alcoa was up to around 480, so I guess it still hasn't been updated.

[aintnostoppinthishb]

cak does not have 500 students.

i have also heard this, cak is supposedly going to play 3a ball in two years?

and i personally know that cak has never had 500 students, currently the enrollment is around 420-430 which is the largest cak has ever had
