Basketball and Footballs game galleries info

Both games are in the process of being worked and uploaded. The girls game will be the first gallery posted. The time has been a little longer for gallery opening of these games due to the fact that the lighting in some gyms are different and photos will need to be worked with in order for us to post.

Another note is that we had 3 games back to back between AES basketball and AHS football. The galleries for each game will be uploaded as they were photographed. (Girls basketball first, then boy, and third will be the AHS playoff game 2) Please be patient we are working hard to get these galleries open for you.

Tagging each photo will come shortly after the last games have been opened. At this time not all photos have been tagged with keywords but we are feverishly working on getting everything marked to make your searching fast and easy.

Alcoa Nominee for Mr. Football Award

THE TENNESSEE TITANS MR. FOOTBALL AWARDS
TO BE PRESENTED ON MONDAY, DECEMBER 1, 2008
Embassy Suites Hotel & Conference Center, Murfreesboro
11:00 AM - 1:00 PM CT

A HUGE congratulations goes out of one of our own Alcoa players; TYLER ROBINSON has been nominated for the award for the Division 1, Class 2A Lineman classification.

From the TSSAA.org site:

The Tennessee Titans Mr. Football Awards will be presented to the top 14 backs and linemen in seven classifications of the Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association on Monday, December 1, 2008, at the Embassy Suites Hotel & Conference Center in Murfreesboro. For the seventh consecutive year, the top kicker in the state will be recognized with a Mr. Football Award. There are three finalists in this category, regardless of their school's classification. The awards are sponsored by Nancy and Bud Adams through their donation from the Tennessee Titans Foundation.

"High school football in Tennessee enjoys a great tradition throughout the state and we are pleased to join the TSSAA for the second consecutive year in saluting these fine young men at the Tennessee Titans Mr. Football Awards," said Adams. "The young men that are recognized with these awards are truly the best of the best! They are selected not only for their football skills, but for their strong character and academic achievements and we're honored to join the TSSAA in saluting them!"

A committee of statewide sports writers selected winners based on performance in the 2008 regular season. Academics and character were also taken into consideration. High school head coaches and members of the media nominated the finalists.

Full listing and information can be found here.

Again, Congratulations to Tyler Robinson and his family, because it took his family to get him where he is.... Tyler, I know your parents are proud of you!!

Alcoa Calendar for FREE plus free download

FREE -- FREE -- FREE
Please see me or one of our helpers at any game for a free Alcoa Calendar where the dates run from Sept 2008 thru the end of 2009. For this freebie we used the header found on this blog. Those players include Daniel Robinson, Justin Marsh, Deontra Herbert, Marcel Walden, Nathaniel Robinson, Tyler Robinson and Chase James. There is another player that I have yet to identify that is behind Chase James. Please let me know (email) who this is if anyone figures this out. I'm sure that player would appreciate the recognition.

You can also download a digital copy to print that can be found here. When we run out we will change the header and have more printed as needed.

Just to give you a heads up there is a website listed on the calendar that is for AlcoaSports. This site is currently under construction and will be the link "coming soon" on the photography site. Of course it will be changed to ready Alcoa Sports. This up and coming site will also have a forum where you can talk Alcoa sports. Many things are coming so please let us know how we are doing, vote on the Right side of this blog. Thank you for your patience during our growing phases, and there are quite a few. These new things are all for our past, present and future Tornadoes!!!

Here is what the calendar looks like:

The girls game shots will be posted first and can be found under AlcoaSports/AMS Basketball. The boys gallery will be uploaded later and open either tonight or in the AM at the latest.

Just a quick update to let you know that the photo gallery for the playoff game last night will be open soon. We will try to have it ready for you by tomorrow evening or latest would be Sunday afternoon. Thanks for your patience.

Availablity link moved on site

Due to the vast problems we have been having with the navbar code of the Images by Jenifer Clark site we had to move the Availability link to the Alcoa Sports drop down. This way the overlap of Home and Search should no longer be an issue. Sorry if this caused any problems.

New Sports Poster and FX

Here is the latest sports poster (Sports Style Creations) and this one is of Adrian Womac. You can find it by clicking here.

3 new sports FX prints have been created 2 of which are Adrian Womac and the third is Nathaniel Robinson. You can find those 3 by clicking here.

Posters and FX are created to show the wide range of effects that be done. Photos are chosen at random. If you find a picture of your player that you want created into a poster or have FX that you really like please email us with your request.

Search page is now active

SEARCH PAGE IS ACTIVE. The search page has been created and we are putting the tags on the photos. This will take us some time but the keywords are working and you can search by name. Searching by jersey number is not possible at this time. We hope to have all the photos tagged by the end of next week so when you do a search it will be a complete scan of all the galleries.

Search option on IBJC site

If you notice there is now a SEARCH link at the top on the right of the navbar on the IBJC site. This page will allow you to see popular photos, search by date range, keyword search and the search bar. Keywords are great in that if you see one that you need there will be a drop down to tell you how many photos are under that keyword and all you have to do is click that word to see the photos. Several kinks will need to be worked out so notices will be posted on days were there is site maintenance. The photos and keywords are being updated and this will take us a little more time. Thanks for your patience with our growing pains.

Site Changes

If you are wondering about the look of the site or what is going on today, work is being done on this so we can get rid of the kinks in the navbar. That is the drop down list of galleries under the blue line. Plus we are trying to add a well needed search page for you to find your players photos. Each photo will need to be tagged so we have a team working on getting this updated for us now. These are good changes so please bear with us during our upgrades. After it's completed you will be able find photos by name and/or number along with just browsing the game gallery. The page is active and can be used. The tags are being added and we hope to have this completed within the next week or so.

Alcoa Playoff Game 1 Changed

The Alcoa High School Playoff scheduled for Friday 11/7 has been changed to Thursday 11/6 due to the 60% chance of rain forecasted for Friday.

Site Changes

For some time the navbar on the IBJC site has overlapped and looked just fine on this computer where we do site changes/updates. After noticing the look on another computer we went to work fixing the look. Only a few things have changed as of right now. The Guestbook and My Blog have been moved under Information so the navbar should look better.

The next change that you will notice sometime this week will be the search page. This will be where you can search by date range or keyword. This will take some time for the team to key every photo so you can find your player by name/number. Thanks for being patient with us, we are growing at an incredible rate and keeping things easy and simple is our mission.

There are many new things yet to come in terms of merchandise you can get with your photos. If you have suggestions feel free to email us on things you would like to see. Also, there are 2 polls here on this site that would be helpful for us to know how we are doing. Please vote.
