2000 Defense was the fastest defense. Fastest everything actually. You had at least 3 backs and a QB who all ran at least in the 4.5-4.4 range, I believe alcoachamp might've been flirting with that 4.3 range.

 

Most talented defense had to have been the '05 squad. Two of the best DE's in the country with Warren and Sykes, a D1 LB in Lindsey, and Sommer was one of the best in his class at corner. Add Love, Hicks, White, Lanxter, Walker, etc...

 

'08 was my favorite. Beside T-Rob off the edge, really no huge stars. Sam Thompson led that defense, and was one of the smartest players to come through Alcoa. Such a great safety!

 

'89, '01, '06-'10, and '12-present have all had great defenses, it's really hard to choose. As long as Nix is calling the shots well always have a great defense.

Sounds like we really spread it around. McNear, Shereef, and Myers all had rushing scores. Matt McClurg hauled in a score from Myers, which is good to see him get some time at TE, and Woody took one to the house on what I'm assuming was a double pass from Clabough. Obviously the defense played lights out, halfway through the season and the first teamers have allowed only one score to teams not named Maryville. Pretty impressive. On to Lower Blount County to face a Heritage team who has been playing a little better the last few weeks. They have a couple of very shifty RB's and an experienced QB.

    • Winfree's senior year was the season she needed to secure more college interest. That opportunity was taken away from her. A lot of false assumptions can be made about what happened and what the options are. Unfortunately, the former coach and administration did not allow Winfree to have due process. A lawsuit was filed for a reason, and it will run its course by people who conduct discovery and take depositions. Unless the parties settle out of court, a lot of the pertinent issues will come to the public surface. I wrote about many of the issues here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/11/17/grounds-for-investigation-and-suspension/ I interviewed Winfree after she was dismissed from the team and wrote about it here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/12/01/a-new-interview-with-sable-winfree/ Winfree had been on teams in Warren County since the fourth grade and never been dismissed from a team. The real questions are why was Winfree dismissed from the team, and why the administration backed a coach whom they did not rehire.
    • What is the hold up here? I have not heard anything in weeks. Are they waiting for the right person or is something else going on?
    • Per usual, we'll be hard to beat in the regular season, I'm sure. It's the post season that I'm more worried about, specifically the coaches. Maybe they'll be able to make some adjustments that will keep the momentum in our favor. How's Grays recovery coming along?
    • Something don’t add up here a college coach is not going to turn away a good player they need just because they didn’t get along with their high school coach 
    • RR, you might remember. Didn’t someone hide the kicking shoe that game? It seems I remember we had missed a kick the week before, and we needed all the points we could get. We thought we had a better chance going for two, so $?&@$ hid the shoe after the first miss that game. No one on our sideline looked for it very hard.
