Pounded is a ridiculous statement to make. There is nothing about Milan that says they will pound Trezevant. That may be a stretch.

I did not mean Milan would pound you guys. I know what you guys bring to the table. But let's be real about 1 thing. Any team 3A that lines up with Alcoa is going to get pounded. Book it.

ItsAlwaysSunnyInAtwood Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 I'll be honest I care more about the football aspect. If administrators and kids want to cheat themselves out of an education then so be it. But realize all of these academic expectations tie back into athletics. Can't have your cake and eat it too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although this particular story stems from there. It's not a Trezevant only problem or Shelby County problem. This is a nation wide problem. Kids are being passed on to the next level without concern or care about their education or even if they will become productive citizens. Education is the key. If you can use athletics to help get yourself to the next level of education that's great. But let's not fool ourselves here. Some colleges and coaches only care if you can win them some games. It's like this at every level of play. We are only cheating ourselves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a problem at Trezevant when grades are changed but its bigger than Trezevant. Its a systemic problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking foward to playing Milan, I know everything is just trash talk no hard feelings here. Looks like Alcoa has their own obstacles to overcome before they can pound anyone.
