You argue with and yell at enough zebras....you learn these things.

For the most part, Alcoa played a good game tonight, but Webb was just too much, as they won by 21. Next up for us is G-P Saturday night.

It'll take a few days to get the football players hoop legs under them.

Our future looks bright, given that our JV team took Webb to the woodshed. Our freshman and sophomore classes are stacked.

And yes, transitioning from football does take some time, and no one is more impatient with that than our players and coaches themselves.

Our freshman team is pretty good as well, they're off to a 5-0 start including two wins against Oak Ridge this year most the freshmen play JV too. Catholic has 8 sophomores on the varsity. With all the young players in 4AA (CAK and Kingston has some talented underclassmen as well) it would appear the future is bright for our district. Edited December 12, 2014 by QSouth89

I agree! My younger son played against two of the freshmen from Alcoa that played for the TN Travelers last year several times and they were really outstanding players. He played with two CAK players and they were really good too. Anxious to see how they all develop over the next few years.

Our freshman team will begin play in December. Obviously, until now we haven't had enough players to have a JV or freshman team.

I wonder how much longer we'll be in the same district with all this football realignment going on. I hope basketball isn't affected much.

Tornadoes are in the win column with a 64-63 victory over Gatlinburg-Pittman. Somewhat of a controversial finish that had G-P players and coaches screaming at the refs, but we'll take the win. But Alcoa trailed most of the game, and G-P is no slouch. We made some 3-pointers in the first quarter but then didn't make another til the 4th quarter, but they couldn't have come at a better time.

Next up, Monday night against Bearden. That'll be tough.

Typical GP get beat and blame it on refs. Lost to a superior Carter team and complained about 4 players fouling out. GP has a huge inferiority complex. Can't compete with big boys so blame it on refs.

Carter is definitely on a much higher level than G-P right now, and the refs were more than fair to G-P last night too.

Our schedule doesn't get any easier though, and Bearden comes to Alcoa tomorrow night. All I know about them is that they're undefeated and likely near the top of the AAA rankings.

But that's why Joel Kirk schedules these games: it's all about what we learn from them. Nothing else matters except what we do in February (and if we make it far enough, March).
