Uh please explain the, "blocking somebody" post?  If you don't know, AE's line was mainly Freshmen and Sophomores last year.  The OLine should be one of the strengths this year

The difference between Austin East and Alcoa is not athletes at the skilled positions.  Alcoa has so much success against them because they are superior in the trenches and physically whip them up front.  To be fair however Alcoa whips lots of people up front.  The reason why Austin East gets put under a microscope is because they, unlike a lot of other schools, are a 3A sized program with the athletes to compete with Alcoa.

Be interesting to see how they do this year. Alcoa will have Grey Carroll who was an all state DE last year as a soph, Solomon Tyson was a sophomore on the DL  and should wreck havoc this year. Bauman, outstanding athlete, and  Sudderth were both sophomores as well. Got a couple of freshmen coming that will turn heads on the line as well. One already has an offer right out of 8th grade.  

 AE is kind of sandwiched between the opening game at Blackman on a Saturday and the Maryville game.  Smart move by AE.

Really excited for our O line this year. 7 senior o linemen. three of which have started games since their sophomore yr. All three have offers.

AE has some outstanding athletes, but they may not have quality depth there. Ligon and Foster are outstanding quality players that any team would want, but even they would have to compete at Alcoa this year for quality playing time. Junior class is loaded!

pretty well known that at a school like AE nobody wants to block.  They all think they are skilled players, even the 6-5 320 lb. kid will say he is a TE.

Uh, I disagree with that statement.  I didn't see that last year! The first game at AE, AE whipped Alcoa.  AE just had 2 costly mistakes in the secondary which lead to 2 TD's.

I agree with the Junior class being loaded at Alcoa and what you said about DEPTH at AE is very true.  That's one of the main reason AE can only compete with Alcoa for a half.  They don't have enough bodies on the sideline.  In my opinion, AE should've stayed in 2A but that's just my opinion.

Nope. Alcoa won the LOS in both games.  Alcoa was the one that had the two mistakes in the game. AE threw a desperation pass, the kid made a great play and took over 70 yards  for the TD. Alcoa still won 31-8. If you whip a team in the trenches, you should win, or at least keep it within 10 points.  You can't retain any credibility if you say you whipped a team and lose by multiple TDs

    • Has BA landed any cornfed cowboys to block up front?
    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say .. 
    • I have a sophomore that can do 177 (preferred) or 192. Sent you an email.
    • speaking of board members how can a man get arrested 12 days ago and still be head coaching a team in TC school system? looks like your right about the tc board members. I bet it would be different if they had a kid on the team
