My point is simple. Talent was there. Bull had developed it. He went thru the growing pains of playing those guys as freshman and sophomores. Not saying Boilstone hasn't done a good job. What I am saying is the process now starts over with far less talented Freshman and Sophomores coming up. Don't think considering all the issues this past year he will be willing to hang around and take his lumps.

 

Kirk had a similar situation at Alcoa this past year. Took his lumps with lots of young talent. Looking to reap the rewards in the future. Do you think Alcoa needs a new coach to get them over the top.

Maybe its me but I think Joel Kirk does a good job at Alcoa.  He had a really young team and they were competitive.  I know Catholic plays a lot of young kids but the difference is Catholic played those kids as freshman and took their lumps.  Alcoa had a lot of seniors last year and most, if not all of the current players even played (except for Anderson). Alcoa plays a really tough schedule as well.  Next year Alcoa will be a tough team to play with.

In my opinion, yes, Alcoa does need a new coach if they want to contend for championships of any kind. I'm sure Kirk is a good person, but he is not what Alcoa needs. Alcoa might have been young, but Oak Ridge was too, and look what they have done this year. Alcoa was young sounds more like an excuse from Kirk than anything to cover for himself.

 

From what I heard, Alcoa will make a change after the state tournament at the latest. In reality, it's a move they just have to make. Keep an eye out for it.

I think it's just you. As I said in my previous post, Oak Ridge was young too, and look what they have done this year. I think a change is coming at Alcoa.

You think its me!!!! Well I'll be dog gone ScottR77. I'm kidding, every one has their opinion.  Who would be possible replacements at Alcoa IF a change is made. And like Catholic, Oak Ridge played those young kids as freshmen and sophomores too.

I will say it's tough to win in that district with Catholic and CAK plus the schedule they played with a team that young. Catholic at least had the benefit of a few really good seniors which Alcoa didn't have... Alocoa will or should have a nice team next year.

      They knew, that was the year we went down and beat Riverdale on their field in playoffs right?  Didn't Clary get into it with the Riverdale fans sitting just outside the window of the press box?

      COLLAPSED LUNG?!?! I guess he just didn’t tell the coaching staff?

      It was not ACHS at all, they have zero reason to worry about Clinton.  It had to do with a kid (non football player)  that had a charge and appeared in front of the juvenile judge.  The judge saw that the kid was way behind credit wise for his grade and told him to reappear in a month with a plan to graduate.  When the kid reappeared he had more that twice the credits than one month before.  The judge called BS and contacted the school.  That is what started the investigation.  This involves multiple students, but to this point no athletes are involved.

      I believe the Covington Chargers travel to Trenton Peabody for a scrimmage today? Anyone going to this? Curious how the Chargers will do.

      Good ole Bradley Zulliger. He was a really good QB @ OR. Fun to watch.  Wore #15 and was like a mini Tebow, with the exception of being right handed. He could take a pounding and keep on ticking. Played with a collapsed lung against Powell that year. Tough as nails.
