Ha,my first car when I was 16 ,  was a beautiful Red 396 1970 Chevelle .I was working at a grocery store and paying my stepdad  25 dollars a week and I had given him a thousand by the time the following happened..My first speeding ticket was 84 miles an hour in a 55.The next time I got one the state trooper didn't show up for juvenile court and the judge ask me." Son how fast was you going this time and I said 73 in a 45 sir.He said ,your slowing down aren't you Son ! I said yes sir ! but then he ask how much he charged me the first time and I said 10 dollars sir.When he said this one will cost you more,my mom smiled. He then said 15 dollars and I smiled.The last laugh went to mom.She took my car and gave me the money back.They then  let me buy a light green 1974 Ford four cylinder Pinto for exactly 1000 dollars.Top speed was about 60 until the engine blew in six months and I got Three hundred out of it .

All the fans, especially Waco says DB is acceptable to a good passing game? Well, IMO Alcoa has some top level WR's in #12, Cox and #99 Anderson.  Plus, a great TE, in #44. BUT......sigh......Alcoa will not be throwing the ball all over the field.  Ain't happening.  They CAN, but it's not Coach Rankins style. Especially in big games, the play call will get very very conservative.  Alcoa will spend 2 quarters trying to push a round peg into a square hole!! DB will start out loading the box to stop Alcoa's run game, but the play call will try to get their 5 to block DB's 7, 8 and maybe 11. The F5 will HAVE to be balanced to score. Period.  

Now, the good. The F5 Defense.  They are the real deal! They will pressure the DB Offense all night!:thumb:

The Question......can Alcoa score?:huh:

DB needs to forget the SH game. They should view this as the start of the playoffs.  Hats off to DB for scheduling this game.  I give the edge to Alcoa, but this should be a great game! A lose by either team, doesn’t really impact their playoff seeding.  Just play wide open, have fun and don’t get anybody hurt.

Actually you are incorrect... D-B needs to beat Alcoa OR get a Bearden upset of the team from Johnson City to get the top seed in Region 1-6A.  Otherwise D-B will be the 2 seed.

Well Lawnman, I've  read many of your post and you have always been a straight shooter and I respect that.After you guys got past my Devils,I was pulling for  Betsy all the way.

I tell it as I see it and it’s Betsy right now but we both know those young Devils will be hard to beat in the next couple years.

I know a couple of our fans or atleast claim to be fans,have been  to much for anyone but your right.Elizabethton is on top and enjoy it because it has been a rare thing in NET and I for one pull for any other Local team when they advance.

I always pull for the local teams as well and I believe it was you that reminded the Greeneville faithful to enjoy teams like they had in 2017 and 2018 because it rarely happens in East Tennessee that you have team’s that can compete with about any team in the state of Tennessee.

Anyone got a guess on how this game is going to go between DB and Alcoa. Without a question,this Alcoa team is one of the most talented teams in the state.

    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say .. 
    • I have a sophomore that can do 177 (preferred) or 192. Sent you an email.
    • speaking of board members how can a man get arrested 12 days ago and still be head coaching a team in TC school system? looks like your right about the tc board members. I bet it would be different if they had a kid on the team
