Alcoa is stuck in a weak region.   They can't change that.  When they do compete against bigger programs they have traditionally been successful.  "Better competition" implying that they are in a traditionally weak region, not some conspiracy about Alcoas players secretely being bussed in from a nefarious football factory that builds genetically superior players specifically for the dominance of Alcoa in 3A.  

 

Hmmm.. I was thinking about the weak region argument and I realized a few things.

1. Alcoas region has won the state championship ever year for the last 15 yrs except 1.

2. Our 4th seed beat another regions 1st seed in the playoffs. 

3. AE is a top 5 team in the state and theyre the 2nd seed in Alcoas region.

Region may be better than some realize. Which region is better?

IMO if AE was playing anyone other than Alcoa they would be either the favorite or it would be a pickem type game. AE is no joke this year they are a very good team.

AE is possibly the 3rd best team in 3A this year, on their home field maybe 2nd. That being said, I pick Alcoa 42-8.

The weak region argument just doesn't hold water.

It wasnt but a couple years back that this “weak” region had arguably the 3 best teams in the state!

This "WEAK" region has won this thing the last 15 years. Kinda wondering which region would they like us in? Do we need to just alternate regions every year?& to my tornado goons & most of all players, so many people want to crush us, see us fail,but our boys have a lot of fight & heart,& that's hard to overcome! Believe in our system, let the haters hate, the wannabees want & let's be ALCOA!!! if people want to see us fail, I say come beat us, but you better be ready to be hit & hit hard, you better be strong enough to play 4 qtrs,& play till the last tick of the clock! Alcoa is a great place, school, & community, & I'm proud to be a part of such a great group of people!!! GO TORNADOES!!!! GITER DONE!!!

    • Did this happen? Does anyone know? Ripley has their HC job posted on the bulletin board over the weekend.
    • Coalfield definitely isn't the same team they've had the past few years. They are still the favorites to make it out of their region because of their pitching. They have 1 arm that sits low to mid 80s and 2 other arms that are mid to high 70s with good off speed stuff. If you can avoid their top 3 bats in their lineup then you have a shot to beat them. Their 4-9 hitters are average at best. Wartburg's ace was able to shut them down last week in the game Wartburg won 4-2. 
    • It is the longest season. Plus, 30 games a year. No Christmas break. I would say basketball is the most time consuming. 
    • No movement on Chester? South Gibson? Gibson County?
    • Winfree's senior year was the season she needed to secure more college interest. That opportunity was taken away from her. A lot of false assumptions can be made about what happened and what the options are. Unfortunately, the former coach and administration did not allow Winfree to have due process. A lawsuit was filed for a reason, and it will run its course by people who conduct discovery and take depositions. Unless the parties settle out of court, a lot of the pertinent issues will come to the public surface. I wrote about many of the issues here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/11/17/grounds-for-investigation-and-suspension/ I interviewed Winfree after she was dismissed from the team and wrote about it here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/12/01/a-new-interview-with-sable-winfree/ Winfree had been on teams in Warren County since the fourth grade and never been dismissed from a team. The real questions are why was Winfree dismissed from the team, and why the administration backed a coach whom they did not rehire.
