McMinn Central (edit) fans: those of us who have to see & play Alcoa on a regular basis, and are realistic, understand how good they are, how much depth they have, how much tradition they have, and how well coached they are. We know what type of team it will take to beat them, recent history suggests it takes a team as good as Maryville, and you know the results of that one this year.

 

So please don't take offense to people saying that Alcoa will beat McMinn Central (edit) easily. Most teams end up measuring their success against Alcoa on whether Alcoa's starters have to play the entire game, or if the margin of defeat is less than 3 TD's. Of course someone will beat them sometime and maybe it will be the Chargers. Good luck.

I understand it doesn't matter a great deal to you guys, but this isn't McMinn. True McMinn did beat Central. But by 4 points and because 5 of our players were in and out the 3rd & 4th quarter with cramps. (the 5 were, 2 linemen, 2 receivers, and the quarter back). Had it not been for that..the outcome would have been different. Pretty or ugly a win is a win. McMinn Central has never played Alcoa...we look forward to Thursday night.

Sorry, I edited my post to read: McMinn Central. I forgot there are two schools with the name McMinn and I'm sure there are identity and pride issues between the two. But Alcoa would do the same to either McMinn IMHO.

Apology excepted FootballDad. McMinn is a 5A school, McMinn Central is 3A. We do have our differences. Good kids in both. Nonetheless, Lord willing, see ya at kickoff.

After further review.....Alcoa did have a home and home series with McMinn Central in the early '90's with the F5 winning both times 35-28 in Alcoa in 1991 and 27-14 in Englewood back in 1992.

Alcoa will roll. No one will beat them. I have seen Maryville play some darn good teams this year. Catholic,Farragut,Bearden,West,McMinn County and Oak Ridge. Those teams were good but couldn't hold a candle to Alcoa. Maryville has a darn good team this year. Maryville beat some darn good teams this year. Alcoa drilled Maryville's eyes shut. If they played again Alcoa would still beat Maryville but it would be much closer. This Alcoa team is by far the most physical team I ever seen them have. Even in some of their(Alcoa) state title teams this decade they weren't that physical. Maryville beat them because they were much more physical.

Alcoa played McMinn Central in the early 70's. One game was 13 for Alcoa and 12 for McMinn Central. This was when Eddie Rich was coaching at Central.

This game will be played on Thursday, Oct. 22 at Alcoa. What are your thoughts?

 

 

McMinn Central's win over Kingston was impressive. Alcoa beat Kingston 49-7, McMinn the following week beat Kingston 47-13.

 

But, I'll take Alcoa 42, McMinn 7
