Alcoa Tornadoes 2015

[UpperCumberlandMan]

We lost 28 seniors after 2012 and then won it all in 2013. It's what you make of it.

yes but kids like Tyson, Mitchell, and Young returned in 2013. What three players in 2015 will have their production?

Closest thing to it would probably be Jonathan Decker on the D-line. We have a few running backs who played last year, although I'm not sure who our main guy will be.

. That would be my main concern. Will Alcoa have more depth than most 3a schools? Yes. Will Alcoa have as good or better coaching than most 3a schools? Yes. Will they have 3 top end D-1 or D-1aa type players that most 3a teams don't have....yet to be seen.

Linemen at Catholic.

He's now a lineman for Loudon.

[QSouth89]

Since Loudon is within Catholic's "zone" (20 mile radius, as defined by T$$AA), it will be difficult for him to be eligible.  Not impossible, but very difficult.

He lives in Loudon and it's his zoned school so he should be eligible to play right away.

depends on if it was the same residents he live in while playing for Catholic. 20 mile rule.

Isn't Loudon 20 miles from Catholic?

I don't know if they calculate his home to Catholic or milage school to school.

Section 13. Ineligible Transfer Students.

The following transfer students are ineligible for a period of twelve months from the student's last

participation date:

a. A student who transfers without a bona fide change of residence by his/her parents;

b. A student who transfers as a result of a change of residence is ineligible unless (1) the old residence

is outside the territory of the new school, (2) the new residence is outside the territory of the old

school, and (3) the new residence is inside the territory of the new school;

 

 

T$$AA defines the "territory" of a private school to be a 20 mile radius.

 

They need to call Notre Dame for advice on this.

Bunch of cheaters!

Shouldn't be too hard to get a hardship from that Childress boy (who I don't like so much, by the way), if the family just says that they can't afford the private school tuition anymore.  Just hope the T$$AA don't ask for receipts from last years tuition.
