Not wanting this to change the thread but I've seen this comment a lot from Bobcat fans. "If we played Alcoa now . . ." It's not doubt that Bell has just begun to get better as the year progresses and there true peak is still out there somewhere.

But don't you think the same could be true of Alcoa? I mean other than Maryville, Bell and Scott are the only teams to score 14 and 15 points on them. Don't you think their defense has improved too? I mean this is a team whose closest win is 17 points against a 1 loss power in Maryville.

I know it was a MC fan that threw out the Alcoa game but it shouldn't call for some apologetics that "if we played now . . ." Bell lost to a very good (and at the end of year might be labled very Great) Alcoa team. It still doesn't detract from the fact that the Bobcats might just be the best team in 4A in KY once again.

Alcoa is loaded with athletes. They're two to three deep at almost every position. On our best game we might could stay within one to two td's. They're that good. I think you're right about Alcoa getting better as the year goes too. I'm sure they're even better now. So are we but it would be a very tall task to upset them. Everything and I mean everything would have to fall right for us. Win or lose though, I'm glad we were willing to step up and play them. That says all one needs to know about Bell's football program.
