Alcoa’s state academic report card and test scores are great. Athletic program is flourishing. What do the two board members want??  They are knocking it out of the park in both areas. This seems sill

Hiring a teacher without certification? Heck I’ll leave the lunch room and start teaching this school year and maybe Stars could get hired teaching English

If it is that big a deal in Blount County, send them to Greenback and we will welcome them with open arms.

"Board member Brandy Bledsoe said she............"

Straight from the article you plastered in six different threads....sigh.

Bledsoe + Bledsoe = 2 Bledsoes...............

 

This stuff is already on the Internet. We discuss stuff here. I haven’t made any comments positive or negative. I just thought LOD would get a kick out of it and he threatened to shoot me. Then he couldn’t access the link so I posted the text. Then coach got involved since I posted an article... call the local paper and tell the education reporter to knock it off.

I never buy the local paper because the present owners have destroyed it. Not sure how they afford to pay the light bill at The Daily Times much less still in business.

The reality is that Alcoa has players from all over, they have been getting kids like this for years. Do most of them play sports yes do most them go to Alcoa to play football yes. We all know this but yet nothing will come of this. Its good to talk about but that about it. When the kid dad went on a twitter rant I think everyone knew what was about to happen. He was going to leave the school and end up coaching at another school and bring his son along. They looked at every school that was successful and which ever one that was willing to pull the trigger and hire his dad was going to get him. Do I blame Alcoa for this no every program would be doing the same thing. If they can get a Stud kid that can play and is in good standing and be a force in sports why not do it.  The only thing about the article that made sense was him talking about if we going to get kids like this then we should be a private school

If 'grades' are REALLY important, then take a look at the teams average vs the same number of other kids in the school.  I am willing to bet the teams average is LOWER.  Rankin has never been a big promoter of grades for his players.  As long as they remained eligible is all that mattered to him.

Gary Rankin's almost total lack of caring about the kids grades started my first battle with him when my son played for him at R'dale.  I insisted my son maintain a B average.  Rankin's comment was just stay ELIGIBLE!

= butt hurt because Rankin left Riverdale for Alcoa.

      The New Word of the Day at Maryville High is Tuition.  Everytime the superintendent hears about the yellow paint on the football field he gets Tuition he could stick that can of paint up someone's behind.

      GoFundMe for Blackman Freshman with Spinal Cord Injury

      By mat73557 · Posted

      QUICK UPDATE -  First, I see a lot of wrestling names that I recognize on that GoFundMe.  THANK YOU so much for helping this family.   After the long surgery on Sunday morning to repair his neck, Jacob suffered a collapsed lung.  Sometimes this happens after long surgeries.  They had to put him on a ventilator to get his breathing back on track.  He came off the vent on Monday morning and they put a BIPAP on him to help control his breathing.  As of today, Thursday, the BIPAP came off and he is breathing well on his own.  He is working towards drinking a glass of water and hopefully eating some solid food at some point in the near future. Jacob can "feel" when someone touches his legs, but there is still no movement.  His parents are beginning to prepare for him to be moved to the Shepherd Center in the next few days.  He will be there in Atlanta for 30-45 days.  Im sure he will receive excellent treatment. Please continue to pray for healing for him and if you are so moved, please contribute to the gofundme link above to help in any way you can.  The go fund me is doing well, but this is going to be a very long road for these guys Im afraid.. Thanks again! Sells
