Tom142 Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 They have a good senior leader at QB in Chase James, a stable of runningbacks lead by junior speedster Jaron Toney, we will have two D-1 prospects catching the ball in senior WR Sam Thompson, and junior 6-4, 250 lb. TE Tyler Robinson. The O-line returns three starters from last year's team lead by veteran Jeff Hickman. On the defensive side of the ball the line will be led by Robinson at end and Hickman at one of the tackles, the LB corp will be deep, led by seniors Connor Miles and David Williams. The DB's are somewhat unproven, but returning at the safeties will be Thompson and James, and they will help assure we have a solid defensive backfield. Thompson will return to handling punting duties, where he ranks as one of the best in East Tennessee, and junior Derrick Brodus will return as one of the best kickers on this side of the state. I truly think that we may be fielding a more-experienced team than last year, but they may not be as talented as some of our past teams. Bottom line: I believe they have what it takes to get that fifth straight gold ball come early December Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully expect to see them in the title game this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has he grown 3 inches and gained 50 pounds? WOW!! This kid is going to be a COMPLETE beast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportsnut624 Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 Alcoa is going to be solid at every position again. When does Alcoa play Maryville? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No he has not grown at a exorbitant rate that listing you saw was simply wrong He has be been a legitimate 6'4" since the eighth grade and he was approximately 250 lbs last year. But you are correct as long as he continues to develope strength and speed he will be the next elite DE to come out of Alcoa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played against him from Midgets, Middle School all the way through high school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HesterBeSeeinULater Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 How about Hodge and the kid who won defensive MVP of the Blue Cross Bowl last year??? How will both of them play a role in Alcoa's success this year???? Is Jock Stinson going to be at Alcoa this fall????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transplant Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 If they stay healthy and don't get the big head, expect them to make it 5 in a row this year. They have great talent and great coaching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
