[seantn_4]

I thought it was pretty obvious that the photoshopping and name calling came from Alcoa fans ... not Maryville fans .

It was..the posters name had Alcoa in it.

 

So its wendsday time to talk about the game

because to be honest they have a large pool of african american athletes to choose from... that may not be politically correct,but its just the truth... alcoa is a small school and town, but a lot of them are black, and lets just be honest black athletes are usually better athletes than white kids... not politically correct, but it is true... and btw, i am white myself lol, just stating a fact... some people may not agree... dont get me wrong, rankin is a heckuva coach, but he has the resources at alcoa, as he had at riverdale too... i think rankin is best at strength and conditioning and discipline with players... quarles is good with discipline too, but to me is a better x's and o's coach... this is just my opinion though, we all have them.

You know there have been a lot of controversial posts on here.. Still nothing from MLREB or the Rev. Govman. It is one thing to be partisan---- but…Wow.

Go rebels!!!!

read the articles. Sounds like Maryville's defensive coordinator is pretty worried about Smyrna. And wow we have 70 formations? that i did not know

I do not think he will be the BEST COACH we have ever faced we faced rankin every year for some time. So think before you post.

 

 

Rankin has had talent that any high school coach in the state could have won with for the last three years. I am not trying to take anything away from Rankin, he obviously is a good coach, but he is not in the same class as George Quarles, IMO. Alcoa had Maryville so out-talented this year and Quarles was one play away from beating him. My friend, you are the one that better think again if you are trying to say that Rankin is a better coach than Quarles.

How good is Maryville's QB? If he is a good solid QB then this game really worries me a lot. I think to beat SHS you have to be able to throw the football. They do have an outstanding D that is almost impossible to run on but, sometimes there pass defense lets teams stay in the game or even come back on them. I mean the guys that have had sucess throwing the ball on them aren't exactly D-1 QBs. They may be servicable but not outstanding. If someone could let me know that would be great. I'm terribly curious.

 

 

He is real good. You would be hard pressed to find one that has not been real good under Quarles. If you don't want this to be a track meet, you better get pressure on him and when they get there they better be good tacklers. I have seen clips of your team on Sunday and Monday and have thought all week that Quarles will throw the ball probably more in this game than any other they have played so far. You guys look tough up front on D, but with Quarles you have to play the run as well as the pass and you have to be able to cover the entire field and you better look for a trick play somewhere along the way because unless they are blowing you out, you will definitely see at least one.

Im Alcoa through and through but Ill take GQ as a head coach any given day of the week. I know the rumor is that when the time comes that Rankin does leave Nix will take over but under the table Id slip a blank check to GQ and tell him to fill in the numbers (he wouldnt though)

Good videos. But i don't thing they do real justice to the actual speed of the team. You have to see it in real time. Are you going to the game this weekend? If so lets meet up.
