Alcoa has tremendous depth at running back

I tried to find out if there was a rule for the amount of quarters a varsity player could play in a week. I think it's just JV.

I think this will be the last time Alcoa plays 3 games in 9 days.

Running backs aren't a problem. Our kicking game is a big problem though. And we committed WAY too many penalties, I think at least 15.

Congrats to Alcoa! Huge game this week! Best wishes!

Thanks! Kinda nervous about this week.....BUT, that's why we're playing the game.

Yea.....Alcoa's kicking and special teams play needs to get better fast.

 

A lot of players got to play in the second half. The second Mo east score was their starters against Alcoa 2 & 3's. The last score for Alcoa was the freshmen team.

That's the key to youth development. Start rotating players into the game instead of running up scores like the Black birds.

 

Against Smith County....Alcoa played 75 players. Probably that many again Mo east.

 

Develop depth and reload!

I asked one of our coaches last yr if there was a rule and he said no.

Congratulations to my friend Gary Rankin on win 358, currently 11 away from taking over the all-time lead as the most winning coach. 

 

I had a really good interview with Coach Rankin Friday night. (probably the best one I've had with him).  I always enjoy speaking with him and I ask him what game of the 358 victories had the most meaning and you'd be surprised at his answer!  If you'd like to hear that interview click the link below.  Coach Rankin's interviews begins the second hour of the show.

Thats how Alcoa and Maryville do it every year. Amazing how I see a school that has a dominating team but leaves their starters in so they can blow someone out. I have seen games where Maryville was ahead 35-0 at the half and they win 35-7. Other team leaves starters in while Maryville plays reserves. I have seen games Maryville could have won 100-0 easily. I also seen games Alcoa could have won 100-0 easily. I also saw a playoff game when Maryville had a 35-7 lead over Rhea County in the 3rd quarter and started subbing. Rhea County left starters in and cut the lead to 35-21. GQ put starters back in to close out Rhea County 42-21.
