Alcoa at Rhea County

This one will probably get ugly in a hurry.  From what I have heard from the scrimmages that Rhea has played, our lines are very young and have played like it.  We have seasoned skill position players, but their success rides on the line.  I'm sure Alcoa is as strong as ever...  Tell me about them, with the new coach.

Nix has coached there for years. Won’t be any fall off from the HC transition IMO.

I'm assuming this is an inside joke?   What does it mean?

No inside joke.  Under Rankin, Alcoa never really threw the ball over the middle.

 

It was Run it down your throat or a nice go route to one of their many athletic WR on the outside.  Most people feel like Nix will open up the playbook and there won’t be a drop off at all on D since that has been Nix’s baby for over a decade now

Yep. Have to believe that OC David Sweetland will have a full playbook to work with under Nix and won't get overruled nearly as often as he did in past years.

ADS1, I think you are right. I hate to say it but it may get ugly quick. The O-line is young and inexperienced going against one of the best defensive coaches in East Tennessee and the Eagle defense is also young and inexperienced all that with all of Alcoa’s horses could spell big trouble for Rhea. 
Martin would have to have a BIG night for the Eagles to even stay in this one. I really hope I am wrong….. Anyway GO EAGLES!!!

Yeah best thing for Rhea is don’t get anyone hurt. Probably the most important game outside the playoffs is in 2 weeks with McMinn. I know we are going to show up Friday but this game really doesn’t have a whole lot of meaning. Run the ball, run the clock and get ready for McMinn. 
 

I am looking forward to seeing the new unis and the upgrades to the stadium in person. Seen pictures and it looks like they have done a great job.

    • Trinity Christian Academy will host the West Tennessee High School Basketball All-Star games on Saturday.  The girls game starts at 5 and boys will play at 6:30. In the boys game, Mr Basketball finalist Maliki Brooks from Union City is scheduled to compete. On the other side, the ultra talented AJ Morman will be defending the hometown turf one last time. West Tennessee Sports will livestream the two contests beginning at 4:50 pm Saturday.  The broadcast link is https://www.facebook.com/WestTennesseeS1. Stan Gerard will have the call of both games.
    • Do you have contact numbers for these coaches or schools 
    • My honest prediction for us this year is that we will be slightly worse than we were last year. I hope I’m pleasantly surprised but I don’t see it happening. Lost some seniors who had been playing since day 1 as freshman. Lost a lot on the line. It will be an uphill battle for us. Hopefully we improve as the year progresses and maybe will have a dog in the fight by playoff time
    • With the loss of 5 players plus losing the 8th graders I can't see Greenback fielding much more than a 18 man team this year and if so the Sunbright game may be their only chance of a win from what I heard this morning.
    • Yes I think Fillies will be really good by end of season.  They are missing their Sr center right now who is a game changer and they are meshing all these freshman with three starting senior guards from last season.  Looking forward to seeing them get better and better.
