At least on the coach t poll Alcoa is only 95% favorite.every year its been 100%.we must be making some progress lol.this is going to be a tough game.I'm just glad to be back into the playoffs after a couple bad years

Congrats to you all this year. You all have a lot to be proud of. Like I said earlier, even if this game goes like 95% of the people are picking, there is no shame in it. I hate games like this when you're a team doing good and have a lot of confidence and then you play someone like Alcoa. I'm not writing Alcoa off as the winners before they play but I just hope your boys keep their heads up and keep trucking along if they do lose. If you lose, hopefully it will be closer than expected and that will boost your confidence even more.

When Kingston is doing well and playing competitive, it's good for Roane County football! I'm glad to see Coach Pankey having the success he's having as he deserves it. He's rebuilt this program in a great way and a year sooner than what I anticipated!

Kingston used to kill Alcoa back in my day and won the State Championship in AA back in 1973 when only eight teams from each three classes could go to the playoffs. Now days winning championships comes a lot cheaper when your winning over sixty teams and three quarters of the teams make the playoffs. You really have to suck not to make the playoffs now. I wished we would go back to three classes.

And times have changed.Alcoa has a great program. Kingston has fell off some.especially since 2001.that's the year I graduated.but I think now we have a good coach who the kids love to play for.we needed a bounce back season after the last two years.numbers are going back up.hopefully we will have them where they need to be around 80 kids.and provide depth.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
