Not taking anything away from Alcoa but Catholic is a much improved team from last year since going full blooded private and bringing in a cash crop of new blood over the winter. Their dept still pushed Maryville back on the line of scrimmage. 3 of the Tennessee top ten players are from Catholic and they do dominate a game. I was very down hearted after that game until I watched us beat Oak Ridge 61-7 and Central 40-0 in a game that was called with ten minutes left in the 4th quarter due to an incoming storm. Always remember the difference between Catholic and public schools is the way they bring in players through free agency unlike us who develop our own.

Catholic is loaded no doubt, but they have to prove it on the field when it matters, not just in press clippings with players measurables.

Colleges recruit based on potential. They want a certain height, length, speed , etc for the position they are recruiting for. Not necessarily the kid that helped his team win on Friday night because he was a better football player now. Two great examples are TD Blackman and Jack Warwick. Two of the top 7 LBs probably to every play in Blount county but did not get tons of recruiting love based on measurables.

I stand by my statement. I think Alcoa has guys that on Friday night could match up with Catholics best.  I'm not saying Alcoa would win, but the last time we played them we did and in a real game so did Maryville.

I was not surprised at the OR score or the Central score. Maryville's SR class is as loaded as its ever been. Both of those schools, 5A in general, are down a little right now.

Catholic better be improved. Alcoa scored 5 TD's on them in one quarter of play this time last season. Catholic pick up some great talent over the winter/summer. But, the line is still made up of the same players with Bryn Tucker, Cooper Mays and Tyler Barons being the top players. The same ones that Alcoa stood toe to toe with last year. Yes, they are a year older, But, so is Braxton Alford, Gray Carroll, Tristan Blankenship and the newest beast Lance William that destroyed West's SEC commit Tyrece Edwards. 

 

 

Yes Sir! On Friday nights with the game on the line, it would be hard to convince me that Eli Mitchell, Big Mac, Alford and rest of the O line guys aren't the best unit in TN.  Like BC, I've seen them go live against SEC/P5 commits for the last two years and Alcoa O line got the better end of it. They are not perfect and I'm not predicting anything.

They still have to step up this year each game, success is only rented, got to pay for it every day. But as of now, they have the title. Got film to prove it.

Just saying you guys are completely delusional if you think you could beat catholic this year. They would win by 3 scores. And they dont bring anymore more players in then Alcoa does. Even your coach knows it .Doesnt look like he wanted any of them this year lol..might be a top 5 team in your area. But your the bottom part of the top 5.

Catholic was the one to cancel the summer scrimmage not Alcoa. Go look up Alcoa's record against privates over the last 25 years!
