All this talk of recruiting got me thinking. I saw Elizabethton play 11 times and saw Hampton and Happy Valley play once this past season. You can combine all 3 of them and throw in Unaka and Cloudland also and Alcoa would have still won the game going away.

I agree with the earlier post that the only way to get better is to play better teams. Elizabethton tried that this past season but teams in Upper North East TN still have to play each other and sorry there were some real bad teams up here this season.

Well Red Rebels you seem to know alot about carter county and stoney creek maybe you could make my day and met me there sometime young man.

That sounds real nice. I'll meet you here:

I guess the Betsy fans figured out what us Loudon and CAK fans were trying to tell you guys last week. I simply made a quote about how Alcoa has always had the athletes, but how physical there line was this year. In which one of the Elizabethton fans took offense to and wrote a paragraph about this and about that.(Whining)

Well I hate to say we told you so, but we told you so. We normally play them twice a year so we knew, until you play them YOU DON'T KNOW.

We (Loudon) played them just about as good as we could play them. But we knew to beat them, we would have had to play to near perfection and catch a few breaks along the way, which didn't happen.

So congratulations to Elizabethton on a fantastic year. And as someone said last week. Only Region 4 teams BEATS Region 4 teams(Loudon, CAK and Alcoa)

Alcoa, we will be pulling for you against a very,very good Milan team

---Go bring home another state title.

Thanks Korn for your comments. I would love to see Loudon or CAK play Milan; I think both would beat them as both teams are excellent.

Congrats to Alcoa, they deserved the win and definitely deserve the state title again. I'd like to see Alcoa move up as well and dominate some of the other divisions(which I honestly believe they could do, 4A-6A as proven this year with their wins over larger teams). I'm glad EHS got the chance to play against you all because while it was a loss we can say we lost to the 6 time 3A state champions. I said in an earlier post it was a win for EHS either way, we lost but we were never supposed to win, its a personal victory for us to even be able to play a team like Alcoa, we weren't even supposed to have made it to the semis but we did. (not knocking the work and dedication from EHS coaching staff and players but no one would have thought we'd make it this far realistically)

 

I was unable to be at the game but I was updated via text message by the mom of one of the seniors that goes to my church. it sounded like an ugly game lol An Alcoa fan said somewhere that Milan wouldn't be running their mouths like EHS but that is wrong, Milan had posters posting crap in the EHS vs Alcoa thread talking about how Milan was so great and such.

 

Anyway I'm with lawnman on what he said to HVWarrior, there is a reason we ran the score up on you and kicked the onside kick with the lead, like lawnman, I won't go into details either but if any team deserved to have the score run up on them it was happy valley.

 

Again, Crongrats to Alcoa, go and bring back another title to ETN. I do think this game MIGHT, a big MIGHT, have gone better if we were able to play in the same division as Loudon, CAK, Alcoa instead of the crappy NETN division. We'd at least be able to prepare for them better if we played them once before

Why in the world would Alcoa do that? We only have around 520 students, and have forced Loudon & CAK to get better so that they are actually giving us a challenge when we play them. Seems to me the other 3A teams need to get better to compete, not Alcoa moving up.

[EHSTrack06]

You misread my post. I never said Alcoa needed to move up because we can't hang with them. I said I'd like to see them move up in football to establish themselves as pound for pound best team in TN, which in my opinion they are definitely closer to claiming that than any other 3A or 4A team. While CAK and Loudon are giving them better games year after year Alcoa proved they can beat the big schools and I have confidence they could win the championship at 4A, possibly 5A, and hang with the big dogs in 6A as they did against Maryville which if they win Alcoa gets to say they beat the 6A champs earlier in the year which is worth bragging about no matter where you come from. EHS played up in 4A for years and now that we are where we are supposed to be, 3A, we're tearing up our division. Alcoa is this good now but if they played bigger teams on a regular basis imagine how scary Alcoa would be on the 3A level and above.

 

Also you killed EHS who killed Greeneville who could be the 4A champs so then Alcoa can say they are a better team than the 6A and 4A state champs to an extent. If there was any year that EHS should have played in 4A it would be this year. And while you only have like "520" students your football players quality and prestige would make it seem as if you all had 5200 students. Just because a school has more people to pick from doesn't always mean they have the better team, Alcoa also has the depth to compete with a lot of the bigger teams as well.

 

Anyway if we play future seasons like we did this season we'll probably be seeing Alcoa in future 3A playoffs as well. And as for the other 3A teams getting better to compete, we can only play with what we have to work with(weak conferences) and only a few non conference games. Not all of us can play in the same conference with top TN teams like Alcoa gets to each year.

Great post HVwarriors ! You show much class . What was classless was the way (and I saw the video of A E & Betsy) , the way the Betsy players went to the 50 yr. line and taunted A E was classless , but A E just got a taste of their own medicine ! They tried to do that to the ALCOA kids , but they were too disciplined to listen to that crap ! Betsy could not make ALCOA loose focus like A E did and this , I think cost A E the game , they competely lost momentum. They are a much better team that Betsy and should have beat them ! Their lack of discipline hurt them .
