Anyone that doesn't respect Alcoa is just being petty. They're probably going to beat Blackman

Blackman will be tough. Long drive there, Saturday game, big crowd, huge school with lots of talent...It will definitely help prepare us for later in the year.  I know Blackman lost a lot last year but it looks like they just reloaded.

Since your a Middle TN guy, What can you tell me about them?

Whats your score prediction?

The big question I have on Powell is their offensive line. I think defensively and their offensive weapons are going to be great but that o line is mostly brand new. This year, with the strength of schedule they have, that o line will need to grow up fast and learn how to play together. That is my same argument against Central too. Their defense and offensive weapons will be just as good as last year, especially their linebackers, but that o line is small with the center being the only returning player. South Doyle has weapons everywhere and did not lose anyone from the offensive line. That is why I think they could come out over Central for the region this year, but that final game against Powell is going to be a great game. Surprised it will not be on Thursday Night Rivals this year!

I think Powell returns 3 OL starters, so they shouldn't be completely green. Their schedule is brutal though - Greeneville, AC, and Fulton to open, then West, OR, and SD to close.

I think the travel involved is offset by the fact it's a Saturday game. Blackman does have talent, but they lost nearly every key contributor on offense either due to graduation or transfer. I believe their QBs return (or at least one of them), so they should be solid there. We're this any other small to medium size school, I'd say Blackman's depth would eventually take over, but because it's Alcoa, I'm not sure it'll work. I'll say Alcoa 35-20

I don't know man, Greeneville just seems to have a way of.....  GHS is a football factory, so #4 in the state would definitely get my vote.     We host you guys in game 2 and I sincerely hope that you are still working out the kinks under the new head coach and the score is not too lopsided...  The last couple of meetings have been UGLY (2014 Greeneville 42  Boone 7, 2013 Greeneville 61   Boone 7).      It is so hard to know what anybody has until that first game, but based on today's insight I am going with Greeneville 38     Boone 7......   that's the halftime score......

All this respect and love for Greeneville. Aren’t you the same guy that said back on page 1 that “no team NE of Knoxville will make it past the 3rd rd?”  I will go back and check.

MJ is kind of like Pearl Cohn, despite the hype, I won't believe it til they win it. Its Oakland and Maryville again in 6A and Oakland has to travel this year in the playoffs.

Pearl-Cohn has two championships and PC went to state in 2015. So no you can't compare the two schools. We respect Alcoa run, but get your facts straight next time you speak on us!!!

I about called him out on it before you did BPM but since this is the 5a-6a thread I figured he meant no 5a-6a team NE of Knoxville will make it past the 3rd round.

Correct, my statement still stands for 5A/6A since that is where this thread lives.    Now Greeneville has an excellent chance of making Cookeville.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
