I remember how excited he was when Rankin left for Alcoa following the 2005 season and when Ron Aydelott came to Riverdale from Hillsboro. I was one of the people who thought Alcoa had peaked under John Reid. Semifinals in 2003 and Back-To-Back Championships in 2004 and 2005. In 2005 they'd beaten Fulton by 40 points. When they lost the Fulton game in Week 3 of the 2006 season to start the year off 1-2 I remember telling a buddy of mine that night that he's going to get run out of their on a rail. 5 Championships from 2006-2010 and Back-To-Back wins over Maryville in 2009 & 2010 were then said to be the climax of Alcoa under Gary Rankin. When they went 8-5 in 2011 and lost to CAK by blowing that huge lead in the Quarters of the playoffs the writing was on the wall. That seat was even hot in 2012 when CAK beat them again in the Quarters in one of the greatest high school football games in this state's history. Even in 2014 when they lost to CPA in the State Championship Game 7-0 with a backup QB under center there were critics. Rankin's overall record at Alcoa now stands at 187-18 with 11 State Championship Victories. They've sent countless student-athletes to college where they've gone on to be successful. The pressure to win at Alcoa has to be more nerve racking than what many understand. If you don't go 15-0 and win the State Championship then you are questioned by someone as being the best person to lead the football program. I would not let LOD's remarks about your coach be something that gets to you. Yup. LOD is a big crybaby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would only allow 200 fans on the Alcoa home side if you do the math. That would allow three people in the pressbox. My thoughts are to get pay TV ready ASAP if there is any possible chance. Some of these places have no signals or hotspots which is a lame duck. and what happens if someone sneezes........sheep stampede alert Booger just sayin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I walked in and of course the order wasn't ready and someone calls in an order while the lobby started filling up so I told the guy I will wait outside. As I go out there is a couple and the guy was coughing his head off. Could been alergies but the guy had been in the place eating. I go back in having to touch the door handle twice now and picked up my order and while leaving I pass a lady coughing into her hands and I watch her grab the door handle of the place and go in. I grabbed the sanitizer and washed my hands and left but I couldn't clean my mind of all the things I seen all in a total of five minutes. I pray all this goes away but I've seen to many things just like that so far to feel there is any hope at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought the F5 was going to be hurting from lossing #14, but now they should be GTG! Cherokees going to have a field full of great WR's again this year? Greenback's passing game has been fantastic the last couple of years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
