Don't agree. Sure, in a couple of weeks Alcoa and Greeneville will probably be hoisting gold balls. But everyone else playing for fun? They will be playing to win and if they don't believe they can win they would not be playing at this time of the year. 

And if they do win what a story they will have to tell.

In my opinion, what ultimately separates Alcoa, Greeneviile, and Maryville is not just their execution but their quality of depth. The very top 6A schools can match Maryville's quality of depth. But very few 3A and 4A schools can match the roster numbers of Alcoa and Greeneville, and none can match their quality of depth.

I agree with this.

I agree

I saw the squad numbers that Alcoa had on their sideline last year when Covington played them for the Gold Ball. I have no idea how they produce squads of that size and remain in the 3A classification. I hear stuff on Coach T about recruiting, etc., but I have no knowledge of what they are doing.

I know that Covington has no special pipeline to bring in athletes, but we are fielding one of the best 3A football teams in the state, both last year and this year. We have also fielded good to great teams in baseball, girls softball, and some of the track events. As far as I know, we are playing with "whoever gets off the bus".

I personally didn't fear my Covington Chargers facing Alcoa last year. I figure they pull their pants on one leg at a time just like we do, and they can only put 11 men on the field at one time. 

If they win 17 or 20 championships in a row, more power to them. I would sure like to meet them again, though.

The major difference with Maryville, Alcoa , Greeneville yes squad depth and the execution part comes with these kids grow up running the same system the high school runs from 5 yrs old in pee wee ball and the support the little ones get from the high school kids and coaches they are cultivating the culture from a young age.

    • 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.
    • What is the hold up here? I have not heard anything in weeks. Are they waiting for the right person or is something else going on?
    • Per usual, we'll be hard to beat in the regular season, I'm sure. It's the post season that I'm more worried about, specifically the coaches. Maybe they'll be able to make some adjustments that will keep the momentum in our favor. How's Grays recovery coming along?
    • Something don’t add up here a college coach is not going to turn away a good player they need just because they didn’t get along with their high school coach 
    • RR, you might remember. Didn’t someone hide the kicking shoe that game? It seems I remember we had missed a kick the week before, and we needed all the points we could get. We thought we had a better chance going for two, so $?&@$ hid the shoe after the first miss that game. No one on our sideline looked for it very hard.
