Sorry WH4L,

 

Alcoa all day long. Too many playmakers! West has had a great little run but it ends next Friday night. The NIL is too strong. Of the starting 22 for Alcoa, how many are actually FROM Alcoa? Not trying to start anything by that question but I am curious about it. Been there and done that! Enjoyed it! For just a little ole 3A school, they got it! Congrats ahead of time!

How many Clinton guys are actually from Clinton? Seems to be the MO of most schools in today’s HS football climate.

On paper you're probably right but Bearden giving them a game gives me hope that West can hang with them and maybe pull the upset.

One thing im concerned about is who will cover their skill guys...West must control the line of scrimmage on both sides to have any chance as well as put pressure on Alcoa qbs. 

Looking forward to a clean, injury free, exciting game. One things for sure- West wins this one, the rest of 5A will take notice for sure.

Should be a good one both teams lost a lot from last year's groups Alcoa not as good on the Los as they have been and doesn't have the speed in the back field. Owens, Winton, and Cannon are a handful to contain so it's not like their cupboards are bare. West good on defense but top two RB may be out and not having Bowers on defense hurts on the back end. 21-20 Alcoa missed pat finally catches up to us

Alcoa has started slow all season. They need to start fast against West to force West out of a heavy run game and controlling the clock. This is exactly what Bearden did. 

Alcoa needs HAS TO use their play makers like Eli Owens, Brandon Winton and Luke Cannon in the passing game. OFTEN. Alcoa has to have a good passing game to beat West at home.

Alcoa needs to have a plan for quick screens to slow teams from blitzing every down. Especially quick dumps between the hashes. 

Alcoa will use a host of RB's. #7, Cannon needs to have a big game matching West physically. Alcoa's RB #5 will be the fastest player on the field and needs to be used. Alcoa needs to establish the run game first, then the passing game. Not passing game first. That has not worked all season. Hard physical run game early will help open up the passing lanes. 

Alcoa needs to use #52 early on Defense to slow the West ground game and force West to double team to slow him down. Force West to throw more than the typically do. Don't allow them to settle into a slow physical run game will be key.

Lots of talent on both sides...expect a heckuva turnout and atmosphere

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
