Red Bank to AA

[Indian]

The Chattanooga paper says Red Bank's enrollment is down to 990 and that should place them in AA football next year, then 4A out of 6 for the playoff split. Chattanooga Central is at 1080 it says, and should be on the edge of AA/AAA. Pretty interesting reading. I wonder if good players would continue to come in from around town if Red Bank isn't playing in a high classification.

Red Bank playing teams like Marion County, Tyner, Sequatchie County, Bledsoe County, East Ridge, Howard, Notre Dame. I would honestly like it. Those are some really good matchups. I bet a lot of people would go watch Red Bank and Marion County play.

Red Bank at 2A might mean that there's finally a team in the state that can compete with Alcoa in that classification.

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Tyner beat Red Bank earlier this year? And as far as Red Bank beating Alcoa good luck with that... Alcoa's pretty mean!

[SPLITBACK]

I don't know if Red Bank could beat Alcoa. Alcoa has played Maryville closer the last two years than Red Bank has. /blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" />

I don't think they would be in the same classification come playoff time. Red Bank would be 4a under that system in the playoffs. Alcoa would likely either be 3a or 2a(playing single a during the regular season)

If Tyner did beat them it was in a scrimmage. They don't play in the regular season.

I said it "might" mean that...

 

I'm a Maryville fan, so I know how good Alcoa is. I've not seen a team in 2A in years that could even compete with them, let alone beat them.

 

I will say this, though. One of the biggest reasons that Alcoa plays close games with Maryville is the sheer familiarity they have with MHS. There is no "Maryville mystique" when playing Alcoa. Alcoa KNOWS that MHS puts their pads on the same way and they play like it. Also, Alcoa is the Maryville of 2A. They've won a bunch of championships and walk around on the right side of that learning curve. Until you've gone to the big dance, there's still a chance that you don't know what you're in for when you get there. That's what's happened to Red Bank against the Rebels.

 

Having said that, Alcoa is not Maryville and I do think that the Red Bank teams we've seen the past couple of years could have given Alcoa a great game...and maybe could have won. It's pointless speculation, but I don't like Alcoa at all so I'm all for seeing them have some stiffer competition...which they would if they weren't so great!

Your really not going to like Alcoa after the `2009-`2010 season! /cool.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="B)" border="0" alt="cool.gif" />

Is this due to the presence of the new Signal Mountain High School?
