The Alcoa vs Elizabethton scrimmage was much closer than I thought it would be.  Cyclones moved the ball downfield easily the first couple series.  Alcoa does not seem very solid up front. As for the Cyclons, they were in the Tornadoes backfield often.  I was really impressed with the upper East TN D-line.  Of course both teams were missing athletes due to spring sports, and not sure who that hurt the most.  Rankin will have his team back to the old, but their overall size is not what I've seen in the past.

I didn't go to this game but someone had mentioned the score was Alcoa 7 touchdowns to the other teams 2 touchdowns at one point in the game. What was the final scoring.

What I saw was that depth after the 1's will hurt as the season goes on for Elizabethton. I'm not sure what the final score was, but when the 1's were in, it was a very close scrimmage.

 

Given, Alcoa let Betsy drive the field on the first series for a TD. But after that, Betsy did not score again until the last series against the second and third teams. In the space in between, Alcoa's first unit scored 4 TDs against the ETown first unit. Alcoa's second and third units scored 3 additional TDs against the same units from Betsy. Thus 1v1s, Alcoa 4, Betsy 1. Final 7-2 Alcoa.

Thanks for the clarification scots50. I saw a post on facebook and I ask what the score was at the time and they said 7-2. I didn't know they played until I saw that picture.

I don't ever see Alcoa letting anyone do anything.  Elizabethton did move the ball down field easily on Alcoa the first series.  I saw a long throw by Alcoa go for a score, and a few good runs, but early on it was not a good scrimmage for Alcoa in the earlier parts of the scrimmage. Sure the depth is and will be a factor for Alcoa against any team they play in District play because very few teams at that level have the depth and numbers they have.  That's how it is when you win a lot.  Alcoa is always be a top team and will continue that, but from what I saw the first part of the scrimmage was so much closer than Scots50 is letting on.

    • What has this guy done to you that is so bad? I have spoken to him at one of the games this past year and he was very nice. I am not sure on his ability to coach.
    • I didn't make it up, I was told that by another coach.   I was just passing along what I was told.  Keep your shirt on there tough guy.  
    • I see them and Oakdale struggling quite a bit the next few years. I see OS to be the powerhouse of the area for awhile. It all depends on how much Coalfield can recruit. 
    • How did the scrimmage with Central go?
    • I’ve said it all year coalfield isn’t the same team as the last couple years. They have 3 really good players and another pitcher that throws low to mid 80s. Other than that, everybody else is average at best. You could make the argument that their lineup was the worst out of the 4 teams in their region tournament. Oakdale is really hot right now and playing well. Greenback was the second best team there. Wartburg was hitting it well but limped into the tournament with their center fielder being hurt and their best pitcher not being able to go on the mound for them was killer.
