Alcoa travels to McMinn Central

[Jnutz2]

Alcoa wins as bad as they want. Shouldn't be challenged until the state finals.

They played last night.

McMinn Central RB with 100yds in first half? Where was that last week?!?! :/

Are you sure he got 100 in the first half? I know he carried a lot and I know Alcoa started subbing after they got ahead 14-0, but it would surprise me if he had 100 the first half.

Why aren't the Central coaches using the quickest and probably fastest player on the team, Brice Mason?

He had 85 first half.  Good job between tackles.

Surprised he had that much but I admit I didn't see every offensive play.

 

What's the deal with them not using Brice Mason more than they have? It does not make sense to not be using his speed and quickness.

What number is Mason?

#3 can play.He had a few good runs early before he broke the big run at the end of the 3rd.

Might have something to do with him not go through spring, summer workouts, fall camp, etc. Not very fair to the kids that put in the work and effort during that period. He was stopped on an end around in the 1st Q but had nice plays in the 2nd half against their JV. They put him in early but I guess since Jackson was averaging 6-8 yards a carry they stuck with that? 

 

* Jackson's 100yds came against Alcoa's 1s (Needed this Oline effort last week!)

* Alcoa did not sub in the 1st half...

The coaches asked him to play. When he decided to play, he should have been given every opportunity whether or not he practiced in the spring and summer. Saying it isn't fair doesn't cut it with me if he's a better athlete who's already put in several weeks of practice. Is it fair to him to not be used since the coaches asked him to play? Life isn't always fair, and at their age it should be known by all players that if someone is better then they'll play more. If Brice is more athletic, faster, and quicker than other players playing the same position he needs to be used more than he has, is all I'm saying.

 

I'm not knocking Jackson at all. However, his 85 first half yards came against Alcoa's defensive starters AND backups. I'm a defensive guy and watched Alcoa play several defensive linemen, ends, and linebackers the first half - not sure about their secondary. Not much of a step down in talent with their defensive players though, so credit goes to our offensive line and Jackson's running.

I hope all is well with the McMinn Central player hurt in the game.

 

I never like to see a player carried off the field like that.

Thanks for asking BC......He has a cervical neck sprain. Expect full recovery.
