Well why have they not moved up to challenge for the title then. Imagine winning state in 3A, 4A and eventually 5A how could you deny anything they do after that. 

Ok newbie on the boards, they were going to until a bunch of Knoxville teams tucked tail when the 4a numbers came out and jumped to 5a leaving Alcoa having to travel a far distant just for 4a home games (It would have been sending them to Chattanooga like AC had to do and playing in a crap region).  They would need to be classified by enrollment in 4a for them to be able to jump up to 5a.  I have never seen the TSSAA allow a school to jump two classes.

Karma. West made a great play. That was a terrible call against West.

Andrew King the ref that made that horrible call right on television for all of East Tennessee to see shouldn't be allowed to call games like this anymore. He needs to be called out because it's a bad

For what it’s worth, Alcoa schedules who they can schedule. When the typical powerhouses refuse to play by using the old excuse of- “We have nothing to gain from playing Alcoa. If we win, we were supp

I'm mistaken then my apologies. I do personally know popcorn sutton when he was still alive. 

Nice.  I was fortunate enough to get a taste a time or two of some his.  Yum.  There's a documentary on ole Popcorn called:  Pop Corn Sutton:    "Last run of Likker".  It's shot right before he died and shows him making his last run.  Pretty awesome stuff. 

Bow Yourn head when you say Pop Corn Sutton

Point is, Every time they thought about moving up, everyone else near them moved up to avoid them.

 

Stephens: Alcoa considering move to Class 4A

Knoxville News Sentinel 0ct 21, 2016
 

Alcoa High School could make the jump to Class 4A football when the next four-year classification cycle begins in 2017-18, school athletic director Josh Stephens told the News Sentinel on Friday.

Schools in Tennessee have until Tuesday to move up in class. Alcoa is the reigning Class 3A state champion and has won 14 football championships overall.

“We are considering Class 4A,” Stephens said, “but the decision has not been made yet. We’re trying to get some help from the TSSAA to see what districts and classifications are going to look like.

“Bottom line is we need a big district. The fewer games we have to find, the better.”

Alcoa shuts down Red Bank, 28-0

Alcoa currently competes in Region 2-3A, a six-team region that includes Christian Academy of Knoxville. CAK will transition to Division II-AA next season, leaving one fewer team in the region moving forward. Other area teams slotted to join Class 3A next season include: Austin-East, Claiborne, Gatlinburg-Pittman, Kingston, Loudon, McMinn Central, Northview Academy, Pigeon Forge, Scott and Sweetwater.

The TSSAA revealed the blueprint for the 2017-2021 classification cycle on Tuesday.

“Take my opinion, I think the talent is about the same in 3A and 4A,” Stephens said. “It’s pretty even. Our thing is we need as many games as we can get, because our challenge is to get a 10-game schedule.

“We found out Thursday we are losing Heritage and William Blount for the upcoming schedule. They’re not going to play us. So the only (non-region) game we have right now is Maryville. We’d love to pick up a Fulton or an Oak Ridge. I don’t know if we’ll be able to work that out.”

 

Class 4A was slotted to include only nine area teams next season, including powerhouse Fulton, which won consecutive state titles from 2012-14. Catholic, reigning 4A state champion, has been slotted for Class 5A.

Probably wouldn’t have made a difference considering the official tried giving Alcoa the game at the end. You know it’s an atrocious call when Austin Price gets fired up and says it was an absolute garbage call. Really though, great game to watch and I don’t expect anything less than the Tornadoes bouncing back and inevitably bringing home another gold ball from Chattanooga in December.

At least (We) Alcoa know it was a sketchy call Thursday Night and admit it .....apposed to clowns like you that "can not believe" that Alcoa got bad calls at West last year....

      We could sure use some math teachers country wide. Ever go into a store or restaurant and the bill comes to $9.97 and you give them a ten dollar bill and 2 pennies because you wanted a nickle back and then the meltdown starts and the next thing two more people have to come and help figure it out and the place comes to a complete halt. I see this everyday and it's a sad representation of all these schools allowing these kids out the door to get shortchanged the rest of their life.

      Stars, I heard we were searching far and wide for some math teachers. Any chance their kids bench press or 40 times are getting checked? LOL I’ve heard good things from 825.

      I think it was expected. “Bad” luck I guess to get a couple difference maker QBs in the same class. I thought the decision was made a little early myself, but they were struggling offensively last year.  I assume the running quarterback alco had last year would be a senior this fall, and the transfer would start the following two years in addition to getting a ton of playing time this year. Maybe he waits two yrs, but I doubt it. The kid is good. So is the one who stayed.

      I'm from Cloudland and we've never played a sectional game.  We need to win tomorrow night to avoid that bus ride.  Us and north greene can play with you guys so I'm expecting good games whoever the matchup is.
