Or I'd congratulating them, much like our fanbase has congratulated Maryville every time they've gotten the better of us

Lol what ever really don’t think all your fan base would because they the ones saying Alcoa couldn’t beat Oakland. Oakland waxed Maryville and Maryville beat Alcoa. Come on man I bet if you loss tonight you will be complaining about something or just eating your words. Really doesn’t matter to me at all. When Maryville was in 5A people said they need to come to 6A and they did then the same thing and you never heard about the road to the State goes thru Rutherford county any more

Where was the Alcoa faithful yesterday? I saw maybe 25-30 students, the rest of the fanbase was pretty sparse as well. Maybe it has gotten a little boring to some. OR maybe the knoxville, Gibbs, etc folks don't care to see their kids win games for Alcoa... Just a thought. Better watch out the T$$AA don't like to lose gate money. They might change the rules on you!!!

I’m going to jump on and steer this thread back to the Milan vs Alcoa championship game. I’ve been around on coach T since 2015 but don’t say much. My middle son was a senior on this year’s Milan team. In all honestly, a lot of our kids were star struck just being on the same field as Alcoa in a championship game. A huge chunk of were little boys when Alcoa played Milan in the 2008 & 2009 championship games and several have fathers/uncles that played on the 1998 & 1999 championship teams . Over the course of the week leading up to the championship several parents posted pictures of current players present at those games back in the day remembering those little boys saying back then that one day they would be back playing against Alcoa when they grew up. At the age of 7, my oldest used to sit in class at school and flip his worksheets over writing stories of Milan beating Alcoa. It was a dream to meet them on the field. My dad coached with Coach Tucker and my son followed in his footsteps in coaching the Bulldogs. He was on the sidelines yesterday as an coach. Coaching against Alcoa in the state championship was a dream of his since we took him to those championship games in 2008 & 2009. My senior was at those same games at the ages of 5 and 6. Playing against Alcoa in the state championship himself had been on these kids minds since they picked up footballs for the first time. So for them, yesterday was not just another Alcoa beat down. It was the fulfillment of many childhood dreams. Win or lose they made it to the dance. The road for this senior class hasn’t been easy. They have been through 3 head coaches, 3 OCs, and 3 DCs over the course of their high school careers. They have had coaches get into physical altercations in the middle of games and even have another coach hauled off in a cop car and thrown in jail. Half the town of Milan rooted for their failure since the first snap of the ball this season as an act of loyalty to the prior coach. These same people tried with all their might to get some of players to transfer schools as acts of loyalty to the previous coach and tried to provoke racial divides that were not there between the players. So needless to say, these players had been through heck. For the most part, this group of seniors had played together since they were in the 3rd grade and reaching the championship game together, in spite of all those that tried to tear their team apart this season was something to behold. A shutout in the championship game is a humiliating way to end anyone’s high school career but just getting there was the prize. I’ve never been as proud of taking a shut out defeat in all of my life. Milan is extremely proud of this team that has overcome so much and that silver ball represents so much more than just second place to our town. My third son doesn’t move into high school football for 4 more years, so until then...it’s been real coach t.

Not all of us are haters like you. If Brentwood wins tonight, I'll congratulate them just like anyone else that's beaten Oakland.

Milan is a solid football team. Alcoa was a better overall team. They had the #1 DLine in the state! Watching throughout the season The Mr. Football Finalist carried them on his back. He went absent the past couple weeks but why? Thinking it was the coaches idea to save him for the big game since he is a stud on Defense but he only got maybe 3 carries in this game. Gave them the couple first downs they had. I don’t understand why he didn’t play QB much in last couple weeks. The backup QB has potential but no where near a threat like him. If he started the whole year Milan would’ve not made it that far. I don’t know how they used the guy the whole year and not when it mattered most. No hard feelings but the Alcoa Defense had speed at all levels so why not ride #1. In all reality #1 is and should’ve been the guy not #5. #1 is finalist for Mr. Football so he should’ve got more touches that game. Alcoa is great but #1 would’ve gave them a better chance with the ball in his hands. #26 is way more effective when #1 is back there with him
