Randell Cobb yes, I understand Alcoa has won something like the last 5, 2A state titles in Tenn. Hats off to Bell for bringing them to Ky for a game.

You are correct. This was an almost impossible opener for Bell County. Don't let the score dictate your beliefs on the Bobcats this season; I'm not sure if anyone in Kentucky is beating Alcoa.

Bell Co. just got a taste of what Knox Co. football is like. It's a different level down there. The last Knox Co. team Bell played was Knoxville Central and they handled a good Bell team as well.

 

Give Bell credit for opening with such a staunch opponent.

No doubt. This score does not indicate any sign of weakness about Bell County to me.

The score doesn’t dictate this one at all. This was more of a 28-14 game then 42-14, if that makes sense. They win regardless but the late TD in the 3th was with I believe 4 defensive starters out because of cramping, and the late TD in the 4th was borderline running it up on 4th down on the 2 yard line running a play action pass. Alcoa is a very, very talented team, but so is Bell Co. There are a lot of kids playing new positions this year and nearly all running both ways, just give it time to start clicking. The Bell offensive line dominated Alcoa’s d-line for the most part; I don’t see why Davenport wasn’t given more carries after ripping of the 70 yard TD.

I’m impressed with Alcoa fans, very down to earth and humble people. I talked to a few after the game and they had nothing but compliments on how hard Bell County played and how much of a hard fought game it was, especially in the first half when bell was giving them all they wanted and more. Also, did anyone else see the freshman, Polly, just fly across the field and nearly chase down #15 on the big gain from the screen pass late in the game? That kid has some wheels.

Same area as Knox County (Knoxville), but it's actually Blount County. Alcoa, Maryville, Heritage, and William Blount are the schools in the county.

If Bell County had been in shape it would have been a lot closer game. It seemed like a Bobcat was down on the field with cramps every few plays in the 2nd half. Dudley didn't have his boys ready for this one.

Alcoa pulled their first team offense with 6 minutes to go in the game. So if the second team was running up the score, then so be it. I was rooting for Bell personally, but this game was every bit of what the final score indicated. Bell did all they could to hang in as long as they did, but they were simply outclassed. Outside of St. X, Trinity and Highlands noone in this state could match up with Alcoa any better than Bell did.
