Holy Cow. . How do you guys keep your middle school athletes from hitting the transfer portal. 

Alcoa has two starters from Greenback.Both played as 8th graders left after our last Championship appearance in 2019 after their 9th grade season actually Bubba (Virginia Commit) left after our first game in 2020 started two weeks later at Alcoa.Both started as Sophomores at Alcoa.Those would have helped us tremendously the past 2 years.But this hack has put us years behind with his horrible coaching.

Interesting. Alcoa fans keep telling me all the athletes are home grown. Played together for generations since grade school. So the kids left because the coaching at Greenback is poor.

Well I’m not actually a greenback local, just a fan. Who said they don’t lol. Ask Alcoa how Tyler “Bubba” Jeffries is doing lol. Then again they also get their share occasionally as well. Only thing is seems the 1A crowd only remember the ones that come into GB not the ones that leave :popcorneater:

Apparently they not only remember but know that they’re losing athletes to Alcoa. Explains the constant flow of talent. .

Yes the transfers go both ways just like everywhere else. My point was that many fans of other 1A and some 2A programs tend to act as if Greenback only receives transfers. Those folks seem to forget that Greenback has lost as many or more impactful players over the last several years also.

Well heck ya. . You lost 2 kids that start as Sophomores at ALCOA. That says an awful lot about how kids are free to move around. Probably need to do something about “open enrollment”. Where i live my niece couldn’t go to an elementary school that my aunt teaches because she wasn’t zoned for it. This is a City School with 5 K-5 schools. And both schools were less than 2mi apart. Where you LIVE needs to matter. It’s not fair to local taxpayers to pay to educate kids that don’t live in their community. My City won’t allow kids to pick an choose even the grade school they attend. Much less just go wherever they want without the parents moving. I’ve heard Alcoa fans say “can you blame a kid for wanting to play for a successful program”. Kids need to play where they live and are zoned. IF the parents want them to play somewhere else then Move. It’s that simple.

 As far as I know all the transfers in and out did have legitimate residence moves.

Well I’d hope that’s the case. Jus seems awfully fishy for 2 outstanding middle school athletes to “move” to Alcoa to go to HS. Has Alcoa got a track record of Rhodes Scholars. I highly doubt.

    • 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
