Gary Rankin has made a huge difference in Alcoa.  Alcoa is much more physical than they used to be. Funny thing is a lot of Alcoa fans want rid of him.

I think some of that comes from the community worrying that Coach Brian Nix might leave before Coach Rankin retires?..... And, the general belief the offense would be better with Coach Sweetland calling the plays 100%?

I think that it's awesome that Alcoa plays an old school brand of football in an era where so many high school football coaches are so eager to become "the next big thing" and re-invent the forward passing game.  One of my all-time favorite games to watch as a fan of high school football was the 2010 Maryville Thursday night game (at Maryville) where both teams traded scores in a shootout and Alcoa drove the football down the field in the late stages of the game and scored on a fourth down trap option play.

Alcoa typically has way too much speed and talent to be limited to " 4 yards and a cloud of dust football". Since Coach Sweetland has added the "forward Pass", Alcoa has been able to KEEP QB's from going to other area schools. The wide open passing game was the difference in beating Maryville last season and the lack of, the reason for losing this season.

Pearl got punked by Alcoa.  If they play anybody they ain't never gonna win because they got Burnetti trying to call plays.  Nobody can understand that guy

Brunetti doesn't call plays! We respect your opinion, we'll be right back in Cookeville for rematch!!!

    • As I said somewhere earlier in the thread, the original plans had no outdoor athletic facilities being part of the campus.  The original plan was for HVA to use facilities at nearby schools.  Very late in the process they came up with a plan and found budget to have minimal facilities and crammed them in to space that never was intended for athletic facilities.  
    • Agreed, the way the field is turned you get the evening sun blasting right into the press box making filming a nightmare there, plus its so low.  The field is land locked and parking is a nightmare too. Seems like Knox County could have done a lot better there with the design and the quality. 
    • I think this upcoming team may be pretty good, they will definately be better up front and if they can replace Dozier, Heyward and Rembert, they can be real good. They have the same strange schedule, but this time with 5 straight home games. The road games at Jeff County, Powell will be tough to open up with and the back side at Bearden is the tough game there.  One question I had if anyone knows: There has been some talk of an indoor practice facility in the past, with the new track area now more of a track area, that kind of leaves a need for a football practice area. Just sayin....
    • I find it hard to believe that 70% of a schools enrollment is zoned for another school district
    • I was told that the indoor facility is happening regardless of the vote on the taxes but it would be a much bigger project with more funds if they vote goes through
