AlcoaBasketball Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Yeah having youth like y'all and us have you're going to take your lumps along the way, but if bodes very well for the future of both teams. I predict we will lose one of 2 games this weekend. Heck, we may lose both, but I am excited about this team. Only 1 senior (Ted Mitchell) on the whole team. Lots of things to be excited about. I'd love to play Alcoa again. Both teams have great traditions and that would be a great rivalry I think. I also wouldn't mind seeing us play in football one of these years. I wouldn't mind squaring off on the gridiron either myself. I'm sure Joe Gaddis will want another shot at Rankin. This year's Oak Ridge team should still make at LEAST the substate round IMO. Heck, y'all might go back to the Boro this year. I just don't see anyone else in Region 2-AAA that will stop you right now, unless I'm completely missing someone. Even if y'all have a learning experience at D-B next weekend, it'll just make you better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QSouth89 Posted December 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 It never helps that Webb uses a different association. The situation was made worse given that on two of the calls, one official had a block, the other a charge and even worse several of the questionable calls were made the official that is a Catholic parent. OOPS I didn't think there were 8 charges but most were good calls given that we drive in out of control. Bottom line you shoot 12/51 you're not going to beat many people. 6 charges they called on catholic and the 2 catholic took that were called blocks. The one that hurt was the BASELINE ref calling a block and the other "official" running in from half court calling it a charge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always get mad when an official that wasn't anywhere near the play corrects the official that was standing right there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoachLogan74 Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 ...and Garrett Anderson is the only junior on the team. Any idea why the McClurgs or Clark aren't playing? Seems like a big loss just for size alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they wanted to focus on football. But yeah, they definitely gave us some size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlcoaBasketball Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Who is recruiting teeter? Not sure. I'm sure he's had offers, but he hasn't gone public with it, that I know of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlcoaBasketball Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 I have no clue where Kingston gets their officials and have no desire to. 49 fouls were called tonight, talk about a long game. It also didn't help that we had 19 turnovers. Nevertheless, Alcoa out-rebounded Kingston 38-26 and shot 50% from the floor en route to a 57-48 victory. We're 1-0 in district play, so I'll take it!! Next up, a home game against Maryville tomorrow! Go Alcoa, Amen!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlcoaBasketball Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 Heartbreak City in A-town tonight. Maryville had us dead to all rights late in the game, then we hit a bunch of 3's in the 4th to tie it. Maryville then scored and Alcoa had a chance but couldn't convert. We fell just short 55-53. Next up, Renasant Bank Christmas tournament at Maryville High School. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I frankly don't think there is much difference between the best teams in AA and AAA ball in East Tennessee, except Oak Ridge is clear # 1 at the moment.
