i'd like to see alcoa compete with teams WITHOUT their recruits :thumb:

 

I suppose Goodpasture doesn't "recruit". I suppose CAK doesn't "recruit". If Alcoa "recruits" then by virtue of being a Blount County School that is open-zoned then this would also mean that William Blount, Heritage, and Maryville all "recruit" correct?

 

During this time span of success Alcoa also has wins over the likes of David Lipscomb and McCallie. I know I know! There's no way those schools "recruit" :roflol:

 

WHAT IS MY POINT?????

 

Alcoa's success should not be attributed to anything that is viewed as being "unfair" because they have played and beaten teams that do just as much (and then some) when it comes to that topic. It is unfair to take away from Alcoa's success when they are playing and beating teams that aren't exactly playing with kids from their own zone.

I guess I may look at things differently, but I don’t care if Alcoa “recruitsâ€. The bottom line is, they’ve built a great program where quality athletes want to play. When you win all of your games, people want to play on your team. That is just the way it works. Success breeds success.

 

I give all of the credit for their success to the coaching staff who has established the winning program and the players who have put in the work. I don’t think you can dismiss their success simply by saying "they win because they recruitâ€.

What about all the teams that they play and beat that don't do what they are doing?

Im just going to be honest SP year in and year out will not beable to compete with Alcoa we only have 250 kids in our high school so it would be hard. I wouldnt say were scared were just not dumb. And polk is a hard match up for us there big and run straight ahead. last year we had a few lineman out when we played them and it would have made it closer if they were there but dont think we would have won. SP does good to be so small I dont know about who recuits but are kids are SP kids and we play bigger teams because most 1a teams are not good enough. Good luck to Alcoa I would love for us to play yall because I respect yall program but guess will see yall in Cookville.

My reply to this question is:

 

"There are many districts in the state in which quality football teams just run out of talent to compete against elite football teams."

 

PRIME EXAMPLE: Greenbrier losing their opportunity to win the District 9-AA Championship in Week 10 the last 2 years because they fell to Goodpasture :thumb:

 

Is Goodpasture being "called out" to the extent which Alcoa is called out? NO!

 

Why is that the case?

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
