Congratulations Alcoa. You Guy's had A Great Football Team this Year. I really think the way the emphasis is put on Defense First really separates Alcoa from most everyone Else. The coaching staff seems to concentrate on Defense . I'm not sure I have ever seen Alcoa play that they were not good on defense . Congrats to Milan as well I seen some very good athlete's on the field today for milan and if #1 and #9 orcoming back next year they will have a shot in 4 A. It will be much more competitive in 4A with the 4 or 5 knoxville school's coming in to district 2 and Pearl cohn and milan out West. Should be lots of fun

Sometimes getting to that 35 pt running clock I do understand...not defending just saying and I’m an outsider 

going for 2 up 33-0 with a minute and change left....I understand Alcoa's reasoning...they were worried Milan would score a TD on the last play of the game and for the PAT Milan would line up and go for 28....makes sense...

Alcoa is a classless program. They stack trophies in 3A just so they can say they have more than Maryville. They’ll never be what Maryville is until they move up and prove they can do it on a fair playing field. I hate it for 3A football. Milan is the real 3A champs today. 

I'm just catching up and I guess we all have opinions.

Alcoa was putting multiple guys in the NFL when the had less than 300 students long before Coach Rankin came to Alcoa.  Coach Rankin has created a program with great community support, amazing assistant coaches, kids that have bought in and are willing to pay the price.  He has a system that works.  Those kids put in an unbelievable amount of work for teenagers. I wish folks wouldn't try to belittle their effort and accomplishments.

Kids played hard on both sides. Alcoa did what Alcoa always does, WIN!! I am proud of Alcoa and their winning ways. Rankin maybe a lot of things but a Crook is not one of them.

Like it or not Alcoa is in 3A. So if your school is in that classification then you’ll more than likely be playing for 2nd for the foreseeable future. They are just that good.  Now they aren’t good enough to win 6A state championships year in and year out but they can compete with most anyone in 6A outside of a few teams.  Rankin has built a solid program and you cannot fault the kids for wanting to come and play for him.  You see this same kind of thing in every sport in every state.  So at the end of the day just give credit where credit is due. Congratulations to the Alcoa Tornadoes on yet another State Championship.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
