Hammer a message board is just like text, you see things I'm writing and take it totally wrong. I will tell you now I look forward to football season the same as you and also enjoy all the great stuff you post on FB regarding the young men on the football team. I've heard your personal story why your son is at Alcoa and I totally understand and say I couldn't be happier for him and you. The one thing I'm trying to get through to you and all my other good friends from Alcoa is politics and school boards can cause problems for even the best of programs. I've seen a lot of good programs destroyed that were power houses a long time ago and Alcoa isn't amune. Neither is Maryville when we saw our biggest voice for the sports program unseated in an election a few years ago. Last weeks school board meeting is an example and took a lot of people by surprise especially being long time Alcoa names. That article went in ten different directions and everyone has picked a piece or part of it and went running. The part that stood out to most people was the principal saying Rankin runs the place and the reason for the hiring of a new coach and why which should of never been in print because that may come back and bite.

No worries my friend. I just thought you were having some good natured fun. The whole situation is silly. 

But if I'm not mistaken, the article said the board member said that to Dr. Bell. Some time along with saying things like "he didn't give a rats.." and that Alcoa was getting kids "from canada." 

Simple hyperbole is often used to  evoke an emotion response when a person doesn't have a valid point they can support with objective evidence

    • All high school coaching postions are year to year. At least in public schools.
    • Yes in the regular season. But once Westview's young kids got the experience from the season, they only lost to Dyersburg by a field goal in the playoffs. Westview was young last year. They will be tough this year 
    • That is absolutely not the truth.  Few if any college coaches or school administrators want to be in the middle of legal proceedings if there is any way possible to avoid being caught in the middle.  With that being said I have two questions: 1.  Why would a coach remove any player from the team for using the F WORD?  Yes, I fully understand the player must be held accountable for her actions.  Maybe extra running and even a one game suspension but if every kid or coach that used improper language was kicked on the team or fired, they would have no players or coaches available to play the games. 2.  If there was truly another player or coach that witnessed this situation, and they agree with the player then by all means the coach should be held accountable for their actions.    
    • 1st round exit?        For real ?!?!?!                     Oh wait.....    are we talking band or football?
    • Assistant football staff still the same? Any replacement for Brian Beaubien? Who will be the DC? Will there be anything going on this spring with football? I go watch practice often.
