Alcoa

[UpperCumberlandMan]

Hey, I do have a question for the Alcoa faithful. I've heard several of you say that if the reclass comes out next year and you guys are in 2A then that's where you will play just because that is what the rules say. I don't have a dog in this hunt at all and am just asking a serious question here. In looking at the other prospective 2A schools and considering the state of the Alcoa program I honestly wonder why you would even consider playing 2A. It would seem that the fans would even demand that there be more entertaining matchups otherwise attendance might suffer. No Troll here, just wondering what your thoughts are on the subject.

How many Alcoa games have you attended over the last 15 years?

The other sports at Alcoa High School will have a voice in what classification we play in, so it's not just our football wants. I honestly think attendance will stay about the same either way. Besides, playing in 2A will renew some of our old rivalries dating back to before the '09 realignment. It's a win-win really.

 

Wrong....football is a completely different animal. You can move up in football & it will not affect the other spots because there will be 6 classes & only 3 in all other sports. Just like it was back before the Z plan.

 

Also, you mention renewing the old rivalries? Yes everyone will really look forward to those HUGE RIVALS like Oliver Springs & Wartburg LMAO. CAK will now be 3a so that rivalry won't be in 2a like it was before the Z plan. Loudon may not even be in that region.

 

So honestly with all due respect to one of the best programs in the state...why wouldn't Alcoa at least want to play in 3a? Still would blow out most teams & win state, but there would be a little more competition.

 

This is the problem that TSSAA has created by having too many state titles for the size of our state. It is watered down & teams like Alcoa & Fulton among others would rather play in different classes than each other so that they can all get state championship rings. If they were all in the same class we could have some GREAT matchups & find out who the true state champion is. Instead we have to watch 40-60 point wins in state championship games.

 

3 classes would be plenty, then Alcoa & Fulton among others would be stuck together in Double A.

The only person who would start a thread like this is the fan of another team(like Upperman or McMinn Central)who is very jealous of Alcoa's success.
