Sad..........RR! 

"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.
