Claiborne @ Alcoa Round 1

[Throwdeslant]

How long do the Tornadoes play their starters? Dinged up, sit them or play them?

If starters are healthy, play business as usual. I would treat it like every other game. Same prep, same philosophy,  believe in your program and system and work your plan. Trust your training.

Agreed! No need to change the plan now. Should be a fun week of practice. Hoping for another injury free game and safe travels for Claiborne County players and fans.

Tough question Slant .I like getting the starters some work and building depth in the second half.You know it is hard on those seniors on their last rodeo who want to enjoy every minute of playing time.When you have a team like Alcoa who can play their whole bench and still be competitive with most teams,it's just another nice problem to have.I look forward to seeing you guys bring another gold ball home in a few weeks.

Thanks Bat! When I started this thread I thought maybe some would take it the wrong way. No disrespect was meant to be directed toward the Claiborne team. Unfortunate for both teams to be put it this type situation. However, you deal with the cards that are dealt. I’m absolutely sure all the young men are cherishing every minute. Im pulling for Greeneville to get it done as well.

Thanks.As I've said many times,we have a couple of teams on this side of the bracket that still have my complete attention as a threat and a couple on the other side.I'm the same as you,no disrespect to the other teams but it would be a shocker for either of us to lose this week.Not impossible but outside of some rules forfeit or freak thing,it's very unlikely

If Betsy hadn’t moved up to avoid Alcoa...Region 1 would have been a bit more interesting.   However, they ran into Greenville instead...

Region 1 AAA needs another team-(I think they have six).  

As for Claiborne vs Alcoa-Sucks for both teams.

Betsy has the opportunity to step up and play Alcoa the next two years. However, I’m hearing Witten isn’t going to accept the invite.......

I’d be shocked if he did.  I’d be there watching if it happened!

I think you and ALL of Alcoa would be watching. Funny how everyone wants to bang the Tornadoes schedule, but when the Alcoa haters team phone rings they never want to play. Or, they simply jump classifications.  Always enjoyed beating Betsy.....

“Hard hittin Witten” doesn’t want to play Alcoa?

I thought that was what the “Return to Dominance” campaign was all about?

Or RTD as they called it a few years back.

I’m thinking it should be “skippin witten”, until proven otherwise.....
