Alcoa had 65 players last season. There is not anymore OZ players playing for Alcoa than Maryville. 

 

Got to call you on that statement. That is not even close to being accurate.

BC they didn't bring the band may have had a lot to do with the crowd that night. D-B is fans love their band and when you have all those parents that follow their kids to see everyone of those games and they don't send the band then neither do the fans come. I'm sorry that you wouldn't like to move to 5A but I think Alcoa would do very well in that class. It also could be the difference in some of the larger colleges looking at their players. A lot of recruiters say Alcoa kids are a gamble sometimes because they don't play anyone and it's hard to judge a kids performance against nobodies. Alcoa can win in 5A and needs to think about the sake of the kids not Gary's trophy collection.

,..........A Maryville City Bus stops feet away from William Blount Intermediate and High School and takes kids from ALL the new Subdivisions within eye sight of those schools TO MARYVILLE.  How's that!

There is a theory that 5A was just created to give Knoxville teams that could not get past Maryville or Ruth Co teams a division to play in and win a state title. Might not be a coincidence that a few Knoxville schools never won a state title until 5A was created. Central, Farragut, West.

If Alcoa moved to 5A, they would might create another division to accommodate teams with over 1200 kids. 

All kidding aside, I know it urks some folks that Alcoa has 18 state championships, but they played a classification up for years.  They are playing exactly were their enrollment puts them and they are not even one of the biggest 3A schools.

While next year I do think Alcoa could win 5A, if Alcoa has a drop in talent in a few years but could still win 3A but maybe not 5A, is it far to those kids to be denied a state championship that they would have won if they played in the classification they were actually supposed to be in?

hammer, barney post is a straight cut and paste from years back when Maryville played in 4A, and everyone wanted them to move up! The only thing barney left off was to say Alcoa need to play big boy football!  

Oh, one other question........when Maryville annexes William Blount High school will it become Maryville high school part 2 or Maryville city jail?!!

It really don't bother me at all how many kids from Eagleton travel over to Alcoa and pay tuition. My issue with it is the TSSAA should count 20 kids per tuition football player then put that school in the correct class it should be in. If they did that to Alcoa and put them in 5A instead of running all over a group of schools that can't even score a point against them it would be a much better deal for everyone. Alcoa football attendance would go up and they still would most likely win it all in 5A and possibly create a lot more interested fans to come out and see them on a Friday Night. When a 3A team can beat a powerhouse 6A school on it's own field like it did 2 years ago then my argument has some valid points. I'm all for kids going where they want to go but when you have a cluster of kids doing it at the same school then we need to do what is fair for everyone. 

The is a classic thread. Blount County talks about building a new school and Maryville fans start slobbering all over the places. Close that pipeline, move Alcoa to 5A! Ha! Do anything too stop Alcoa from winning more championships than Maryville! Yeah!

A Maryville Fan even worried  about Alcoa gate money.....

I was only worried because they had ran out of football money to send that soccer team to the state a year or two back. Maybe why they picked up Blackman and D-B so they wouldn't get into that pickle again playing all those little farm communities where everyone goes to bed by 8 p.m. to go to work the next day instead of at a football game. I'm just telling you that don't look good at all when you turn on Diamond Clear to watch an Alcoa Football game and nobody is there on the other side of the field. People are just sick of that type of football now days and just refuse to go watch it. I went to the Pigeon Forge game against Alcoa and sat with the other 99 people just to make it 100 in case anyone watching TV decided to count heads. Gary Rankin should be ashamed of himself knowing good and well his team could win championships in 5A while putting these little schools that don't have the financial support Alcoa has through all those senseless beatings week after week. Watching Alcoa football reminds me of an old Twilight Zone episode where this man would go to the casino and win at every game he played until he realized he couldn't lose and he had went to heydees.

We don't care.We like winning anyway we can, even if its club'n baby seals. Got the Blackman, Maryville and DB games circled to make a statement next season! One a 6A state Championship team, two, third round 6A playoff teams 

BTW, how's Maryvilles luck been pulling out zone players in the off season? Quite the list!....even working a Catholic QB too? Great! Yea, Tee's son got'um all scrabbling. Glad Alcoa was able to aslo benefit from that situation!
