If I remember correctly, they were in AA and maybe even single A years ago. I understand what you are saying. Sorta like back when the privates were playing the publics.

There is a team in Southern Middle Tn that is similar. The exceptions are the playoff games and state championships. However, Lewis County always schedules weak out of region teams and are always in very weak regions and go 9-1!10-0 most years. How fun is that?

Except Alcoa doesn't duck competition. Alcoa played 2 6A and 2 5A programs, 3 of which made it to the quarterfinals and 2 of them are still playing. Its always "why doesn't Alcoa move up", when it should be "what can we do to get on their level". Winning titles never gets old.

This participation trophy era has made cowards of some coaches. When you take the easy route to success, it's gonna show come playoff time

I agree with you. Especially since Alcoa is not technically a private school. 

Eventually every team or program or team has a down year every now and them and every now and then a team has an incredible run. Who ever is up when Alcoa is down will be lucky.

I really do not understand how Rankin can feel like he and Alcoa have done anything. Alcoa should move up to a level more competitive. Winning lopsided playoff games and state championship game , how can that be enjoyable? Most realize his winning record is very shallow at best.   

Yep most teams hate winning title after title after title....oh wait

Yup...2012 was a rough year for Alcoa. I think 5 loses. 2 Loses in region.....it happens.

Giles County is a very good football team.  David O’Connor’s teams always play with great effort and with an edge.  Their RB #15 McElroy is the real deal.  I’ve watched him since he was a sophomore and he’s a good one.  Alcoa will be favored to win the football game and will be a monumental challenge.  I highly doubt though that Alcoa wins this game by 40 points.  Giles County is too good to be beaten by that lofty of a margin.  
 

Alcoa:  35

Giles County:  14

 

I wish this game were being played in Pulaski.  I would probably attend if so.

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
