Alcoa @ Elizabethton--Semifinal

[Cycloneballa3]

Talking to my dad, this is one of the top5 teams Elizabethton has ever had. Preston(#25) is clicking on all cylinders and had a run of of 90 or so yards. idk much about alocoa's defense but if our running game comes to play, then that would open up our passing game(which is under rated). this will be a great game and i hope both teams stay safe. i like Etown in this match up. 31-28

 

FOOTBALL!!

 

and on a note, #32 on the Elizabethton basketball team should get more playing time, play talent, not politics

I have to go with our Blount County rivals on this one unless the Witten boys are playing. Good luck to the Tornados. Stay healthy...I hear Quarles and Stephens are discussing the possibility of a BC Bowl the weekend after the Championship game. Just Kidding....but I had you going!!!!

 

They already played this game this year and Alcoa won.

Really bud? I wasn't aware of that. That note was to the Alcoa faithful....they are well aware that they kicked our butts this year too. It was the best thing to happen to our program this year. Congrats to the Tornados...see you next year.

Wow, you can give sarcasm but can't take it. The whole state knows they played that game. Always thought Matyville fans were sensitive, you're helpning me prove my point.

No worries MHS82......I know where your coming from! Teach Riverdale how the "little boys in 4A" play football!

Looking ahead one game I would like to know from the Alcoa faithful how they thought a

Milan/Alcoa score would be qtr by qtr. On this side of the river our hearts and minds are

a little closer together now that Coleman is back. He played more snaps than expected

in the Camden game. He should be able to help up front even though he may not be 100%.

Alcoa 28 21 24 28 - 101

Milan 0 0 0 3 - 3 (kicking a field goal late against the F3's to avoid a shutout)

You asked.......

Although I think we have a better team to play this week.

[budkilmer]

I don't care who you are, that picture is funny right there.

[swingjuice]

Be careful what you asked for....I think you're right about Milan kicking a field goal at the end

but it will be for the win. Moody kicks THE GOLD BALL with no time on the clock.

 

Alcoa 7 7 0 7

Milan 7 7 7 3

I will get this started by saying how impressed I was tonight with the Cyclones. Since I live so close to Cyclone Stadium I couldn't miss the opportunity to see who my Tornadoes would face. Let me say this very LOUDLY-----Alcoa had better bring their A game. Elizabethton has a diverse and well balanced offense. They spread the field and have a QB who is more athletic than any one signal caller they have faced this year. Their WR's take take deep, almost sideline splits and they will wear you out with the slant route. Alcoa should forget the fact that CAK beat the Cyclones. I was much more impressed with Elizabethton than CAK not to disrespect CAK. Remember Elizabethton had their 3 best players, including the QB, hurt in that game. Elizabethton reminds me of a "poor man's" Maryville and I do mean that respectfully. They are well coached. Sean Witten reminds me of George Quarles with his play calling. I hope like heck the Alcoa kids do not look over on the other side during warm ups and see that Elizabethton only has about 40 players because that was my first impression at the start of the game. But let me tell you......about half of those players are Seniors and their lineman and linebackers/runningbacks do not go both ways so they are very fresh. Their passing game is going to give Alcoa fits and their QB is very, very athletic. Finally they play 2 runningbacks. Number 25 can absolutely fly and is probably the fastest kid I have seen this year. Number 33 is bigger and is more of a between the tackles kind of runner with quick feet. Alcoa will be able to run the ball though. AE would have been a much better match up for Alcoa IMHO plus it is just different playing up here. It will be about 10 degrees colder than what the Alcoa kids are used to. Just a different environment. I'm excited about the match up as I wont have to drive far to see my Tornadoes

class post, thanks and good luck to you and the Tornadoes
