Alcoa @ AC


The Mav

Recommended Posts

Here is a good chance for the two different districts in the region to see how they stack up against each other. With the dead spots in the floor, the ceiling fans altering the jump shots, and the luck of the Mavericks in this building, I see AC completeing the season sweep of Alcoa this year by 8 in this one.

It is true. There are ghosts in that gym and those spirits are not comfortable in their after life. They influence referees and scorekeepers. I have witnessed them make time stand still as the ball is advanced up the floor, a shot is taken and a "phantom" foul is called by a possessed official as time runs off the clock. It is difficult to play at AC. That extra defender in the home team's coaches box is a perplexing problem to which most visiting coaches have a difficult time adjusting. Please keep and hands and feet inside the coaches box until the game comes to a complete stop - thank you. I will make a prediction..... the team with the most points will win this game!!!! Nostrodomus, himself, could not make a better prediction!!!

You jest O' channell-ed one, but only the Mav's know just how much to allow on jump shots for the west to east wind current that drifts through the gym, and how many times I have seen the ball hardly bounce up on the west side of each lane.

The ref's can't explain some of the calls they make, almost as if it was someone else blowing their whistle, and commanding their vocal chords. The secret weapon though (shhh!) is the positioning of the lights which glare of coach E's head into the eyes of opposing free throw shooters!!

Well I watched Alcoa take a big win tonight. The first half was full of great defense and teamwork. Deon smith locked Wally lowery down to a goose egg. Alcoa's Kurt Toro stepped up big time by scoring around 24 points tonight. Alcoa was beating AC badly but then let up in the 4th quarter. It was a good game and good win.

Sorry I missed the game. The wife insisted that I stay home and pack. Keep the heads held high boys... there is another big game Friday night. By the way, you are invited to participate in a moving party that will be taking place at my house on saturday. If you find yourself with time on your hands... please, join the festivities!!! Call and RSVP.

    • 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.
