After a few challenging seasons … Alcoa is on the move back up. They qualified three a year ago including a pair of freshmen in Jon Sanchez and Kenny Harris. They also feature a lot of returners. If Alcoa is going to take that next step and push into the 1A top 20 they will need several of those returners to step up and make some noise this season. Keep an eye on a trio of freshmen as well … Darius Sudderth, Isaac Irwin, and Patrick Collins will look to break into the lineup and follow Sanchez and Harris as freshmen state qualifiers. - SEWrestle
