Unfortunately we have a number of players, including key players left on this team that are in a "wait and see" mode as to whether or not they are even going to play football for Oak Ridge next year. Many are waiting to see if a change in leadership takes place before they jump back on board. Don't shoot the messenger! I am just sharing what I have been told by parents and players on multiple occasions this year. I think at this point everyone involved with this season knows that this is not the standard or the expectation for Oak Ridge football. I don't think that anyone that watched this team play could disagree that great change must take place to get this program back to where we all know it should be. I'm not calling for anybody's job, I have never publicly called for any coach to be fired. (except Butch Jones). But at the very least, there has to be an honest assessment of and drastic changes made in the way things are being done/not done. It's about demanding accountability from everyone involved top to bottom; players, coaches, support staff, admin., everybody. Being good is not easy. Getting the results we all want requires commitment, hard work and dedication to be your best from all involved. " We got a long way to go and a short time to get there." (Now you all have Smoky and the Bandit song in your heads)

Correct yeti, TC would go to marion

Munford got whipped by Covington. HC would be 11-0 if they had their schedule

That’s right! I get it , I am too lol. We got our hands full Friday night. I been watching some PC games and Tullahoma game with PC. There both legit. Ain’t sleeping on nobody.

Well talking about McMinn, win lose or draw this Friday night they should be proud of the hard work they put in this year. They probably exceeded many people’s expectations for them this year. They had tremendous teams the previous two years and the 20 seniors they lost coming into this season accounted for a lot of that success. This team has played hard and got better as the season has gone along. Pulling for them this Friday. Go Tribe

Or 2008,2011,2013,2017,2018,2019

Everybody knows I'm one of the broadcasters for Trinity Christian Academy. Big Ed Moore was a brother to me. He loved "shaking the bush". In honor of Big Ed Moore, I will broadcast the TCA playoff game on Friday wearing an ugly sweater vest. I think it would be appropriate. I miss my friend terribly.

Take the “athletes” away and Jones is a mediocre play caller at best.

yall want to look like you know, but won't say no names. I went to a fortune tellar like that one time.

The Commandos have plenty of big play power in Ellis, Manning and Baker, the Wave defense has already seen them once this year and will again be greatly challenged to reign these guys in. A big key for Gallatin will be to play well from the opening whistle, have some good things happen early, to be able to stay in it and give themselves a chance. Hendersonville definitely has the horses to run away from a team, they can snowball a team in a hurry. Get ready for lots of run plays! Upper 40's and dry at kickoff, there should be a huge crowd for what is one of the longest standing Sumner County rivalries.

Once again trying to spin this thread to make it look like it’s SP that is against everyone when it’s actually the SP people saying y’all are not good enough or maybe you can compete with Clay or hopefully little SP can show up and make it a game etc…Why do that? Everyone knows y’all are good on the gridiron everyone knows Clay is the one that is the decided underdog so just stop please. Now on the other hand if SP has to play against Clay in a region basketball game then yeah you can say all of those things because they won’t stand a chance. Clays JV team would see more of that game that the starters would but this is football. So do us all a favor and quit poor mouthing the SP football team. It won’t work

It doesn’t matter how you slice it, PC is the gold standard of metro football. Numbers don’t lie! Far as winning the state the day to day nonsense our coaches go tho, I’m not surprised we can even get out the second round let alone go to state like we have. Alcoa’s of the world don’t have to worry about if their kids have ate when at home, or miss practice to watch little brother or sister. All they have to do is coach so you can’t compare the two!!!

Coaching anywhere with no HC experience is tough.He’s got the respect of those around the program. Thanks for the well wishes!

Just my own personal opinion but I think Maryville came out a little flat and DB came out firing on all cylinders. It was a pretty evenly played first half. Most likely a few attitude adjustments at halftime was all it took and Maryville was off to the races. The score still turned out about the same as it would have if DB had scored 7 or 14 against the 2's late in the game. But DB does deserve some credit for scoring the 14 on the 1's in the first half.

If the Wildcat players do happen to read what we old guys think on a message board - Please get in the weight room. Please watch some instructional video on the nuances of the game. Please educate yourself enough to be a coach on the field. Please watch some film of Spencer Gulmire, James Mitchell, Ethan Grumski, Elliott Normand, Alex Alcorn, Kendyll Clark, Jacob Adams, or Jacob Bervin. Recognize the warrior spirit of these former players and play with a heart the size of a mountain. Believe it or not, effort on the field will prepare you to be a winner in life. Longtime Wildcat fans will support your efforts, but keep in mind, they know what effort looks like. Respect is earned. Bring it back it 2022

And for the record, he was obviously talking about Trenton Peabody having the longest win streak in the state. They lost for the first time in 3 1/2 year a couple of weeks ago.

Why you let that dude get you all wound up like that

Fayetteville has plenty of good places to eat. 1A City, with 6A eats.

After reading a lot of these posts, I believe it would be best, considering the price of fuel these days, for TC to just stay home & eat pizza. We obviously have as much chance as a snowball in a furnace. Maybe next year.....

Unfortunately we won't be able to meet in the 5A playoffs this year. Our schools should get together and schedule a game next year. I know it won't happen but I would love to play OR, you guys have such a rich football history.

Records don't mean shii when you get to November. I can guarantee you this, Henry County is coming down to Munford and we're going to punch the Cougars in the mouth, not once, not twice, not three times, not four times. It's gonna be an all out WAR on that field I can promise you that! Our boys are ready to make a STATEMENT with not just a win this Friday night but an all out massacre!!!! Screw my prediction. Henry County LET'S GO DOMINATE!!!!!!!!! PATRIOTS/COUGARS LET'S GOOOO!!!!!!!!

Thank you, we will win and lose with Devon. We feel he is a high quality QB AND a higher quality individual

BOLD PREDICTION OF THE YEAR....... KARNS 35 RHEA COUNTY 34. Bishop gets to 3,000 and has a rushing, passing and recieving TD in this game.

I like Sir Morgan Barrick. You have to say it with an English accent. But coach I’ve just been run over by Sir Morgan Barrick of the patriots of Henry County

I smell a rat

He will get better but will be after the season is over. Not a weird injury at all. Kinda common.

boy you are something else. I love it though!!

I'm with you my fellow tomcat fan!! We just need to worry with the Golden Wildcats right now! Go Tomcats!!!

HC defense knows how to slow him down.

Both will have to earn their way, gonna be a chore for both.

Bullet proof…really? Lol. I think they will be tested but until the West can compete with the East then using bullet proof is laughable

The Band Boosters smoke a fantastic bologna sandwich. Keep an eye on that pet hog if lines get long at concessions!

The center is a big reason yall were able to beat us last year! He was able to get out on our lb

No kid should have to deal with that. The kid is a better man than me I know I couldn't play and deal with the circumstances that he is going through.

You don't have a player comparable to Rankins!

Uh huh. Chicken/egg. Got to have the horses, and you have to give the horses a reason to come to the track.

Springfield - 35 Memphis Central - 34 I really see this being a shootout to the finish. Central has only been held under 30 points twice all season and that was just barely. The real key to this game will be can the Yellow Jacket defense step up and do what they have done the majority of the season? If they can, Springfield may win by a couple scores, but I'm going to give Central a little respect and say they will do what they've been doing all season, and that's scoring the ball. Either way you look at it this has the makings of an instant classic. JACKETS/WARRIORS LET'S GOOOO!!!!

Great post! I love football, but there’s a long list of things much more important. The thoughts of a kid not getting to eat is probably at the top of the list for me. It’s a huge problem even in rural areas like I live in.

Yes sir. I’m confident In region 7 to get it done this Friday.

I remember those boys very well. Four Defensive Mr. Football's in a row, along with the one Offensive award in Gerald. Gerald was a close friend to my son-in-law. Chase worked for me for a little while when he was in high school. And Luke is currently in my Fantasy Football League. Great bunch of young men and the loss of Gerald was truly a tragedy. Look him up on You Tube and you'll see just how good he was. I miss those days.

It will be tough without #7. That’s a big blow when the games have gotten tough he has been the problem solver for them. On the road against a team that was going to give you fits anyway. I now have to lean towards Hardin to take the win, but I wouldn’t be surprised if PC wins they have won the other games that he has missed but how long can they keep that up.

People are finally catching on! Lewis hasn’t since ‘13 and only once since ‘03. Annndddd this is with (7) SEVEN ten (10) ten win seasons in the last (17) SEVENTEEN years! This means two things: 1) It’s a safe bet they wont beat Chapel Hill Friday. 2) They have weak schedules year in and year out! What this translates into is: #paperchampios

I have no affiliation to either school let me get that out the way first, but if that’s the case then that is why metro hasn’t won anything since Hillsboro. The goal is not to be the best in metro, but the best in the state. PC has won plenty of freshman city championships but what has that translated to a couple of runner-ups. As a competitor I want to measure myself against the teams that complete the job and win state.

Yupppp.

Appreciate the info. I know it doesn't matter who is out or injured when we meet up it's going to be a heck of a game. Same for you guys and H2O. I'm sure they will not overlook you if you guys happen to meet up again.

Willie I respect what your saying but my coaches called me a lot worse when I messed up.Im taking shots at the oline as a whole instead of saying names.I also blame coaches way more than the players.We are not talking about an Oline who isnt good or below avg but one that has been as bad as it gets this yr .Somebody needs to get their little feelings hurt and fix it.Have respect for the tradition we left behind and get to work.Ive been to every game this yr and watched some players go thru the motions.We have way to many who need to find the weight room and work a little bit.Most importantly we need coaches holding players accountable starting now and making sure we fix the problem.As my coach would say if we have time to feel sorry for ourselves we aint working hard enough.The problem sure wont go away by acting like everything is ok

I have a feeling that Mr. Davis will outplay Mr. Football. Go Eagles!

PF dodged us earlier this season but miraculously healed the following week. I hope coach puts up a 100 on PF which we can if he wants.
