It's official, for those that can't make the game it will be streamed live at BBBTV12.com. pregame starting 6:30

A new era is about to begin and I know the new staff will embrace the tradition here. The Administration is already working hard to assure that Oak Ridge remains a factor every year. I personally will miss working with Coach Gaddis as the head coach. Coach Gaddis loves Oak Ridge football more than just about anybody I have ever known including former players. I am so happy to see so much respect being paid to him all over social media. You can question any coach on their coaching but you can never question this man's love for Oak Ridge. As Principal Garfield Adams said, he's a legend.

Mute button to be deployed for sure, then.

Loaded backfield with Cole Townsend & Morgan Barrick and with Jayce & Javion back, HC rolls in this one and heads further East to the Nashville area on 11/26/21. Those RB's will run wild on Friday night! Go Big Red!!!!! Henry Co- 42 Springfield -21

I remember someone was on a lift, off of school property, with binoculars last year still calling plays. At least that is what Murphy tweeted. That darn Murphy and his information!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the insight haha

Roll Red!

Who are you trying to convince us or yourself?

This stuff is absolutely comical!!!

Commish, i don't think you have anything to apologize for. You are one of the most respected SPT posters on the T. You have always been very cordial with us HC posters over the years but as you know every fan base has their own fans that want to be the show or have the last word. I think we both have that type of fan on here.

Oak Ridge football is a sleeping giant.

I’ll put $1 on zero.

Anyone who thinks Haywood would be overconfident or anything but angry and with a chip on their shoulder doesn't know that staff, lol. They still feel like they have something to prove to South Gibson and will be highly motivated.

Henry is a physical team but very slow, and looked even slower on that Munford grass last Friday night. I see the Jackets kicking it deep and making Henry drive the length of the field, seeing what they really have and not letting them start every drive at the 50 or better. Plenty of holes in that Henry secondary. Henry honestly looks slower as a team than they did earlier this season. 3rd Quarterfinals game for this very experienced senior class, think Henry will be surprised when they see this Springfield team at home in SPT playoff mode!

Thanks for the confidence!! I wish yall the best against the Yellowjackets Friday night! I do believe Haywood can win this game however if the Tomcats go into this week of practice as well as the game unfocused and over confident, the Hornets will win! The hornets are too good to overlook, even a little bit!! I personally have a lot of respect for the Hornet program! Whoever wins this game better be ready for a BIG battle next week!! Both of those teams are extremely good!! Lets go Tomcats!!! Yall got this!! Hornets, if yall win Friday, I will be cheering for Yall the rest of the way!!!

Tomcats will win pretty dang easily!! Haywood University gonna put it on those South Gibson Hornets!!! Haywood - 35 South Gibson - 7

Agreed. Solid coach that has never gotten the credit he deserved. It’s his show now at York and I think you’ll see this program take off very soon!

Great hire for HVA, he is a hard worker and really football smart. Good teacher too. He did a great job as defensive coordinator at Oak Ridge under Gaddis and he is ready to step up to a Head Coaching job. He will do a great job at Hardin Valley if the players get on board.

That was a great game!

Weve not conceded, we played pretty well against you last year and we are better this year, then again, weve not beat Oneida yet, I'm betting they are not ready to throw in the towel either.

Whew Barn whatever you been drinking I need a shot of. No guarantee Miner even does anything at HVA. Being a successful coordinator doesn't mean you'll be a good HC. Rosser is a great coach, but there are a lot of great coaches in this state OR could hire with similar success

This looks like the tightest game across the State. I'm figuring less than 3 point win either way? This is what playoff game are all about!

BC I always pull for Alcoa and what that program had done is amazing.

. “This will probably be the two best teams left in 2a playing this Friday. Shame they have to play in third round. “ https://www.coacht.com/boards/index.php?/topic/265386-mahs-westview/&do=findComment&comment=4210548 Meanwhile over on the MAHS vs Westview thread I just happened to see this post . Should we both just forfeit now or what? Awaiting further instruction.

This is getting better and better.

Should be on NFHS, courtesy of diamond clear media.

It's tricky. Go back and watch the West vs. Rhea state semifinal game from 2015. Watch it closely, it's tricky. Especially how they get up to the ball so quickly and snap it. You really have to be paying attention to even know it's coming. Did I say Tricky?

Excuse for what exactly? The truth is the truth, you let us get the caliber of kids ya'll get year in and year out and we have a few ships too. I'd actually say more ships but that's all hypothetical so neither here nor there. At the end of the day we have a great team that has the ability to go win it all. We can ONLY beat ourselves, NO ONE IN THIS STATE CAN BEAT US BUT US. We have a solid team, not a couple of players that carry our team. We're focused, starving and ready to take everything we deserve!! Ya'll be safe on your trip here friday for this WAR!!

Way to say you don't want to talk about something by bringing it up first thing. To make it more distant you could mention how many weeks its been. Or days. Or minutes. Seconds.

We know the 2 places they have their head buried...

Pops is calling it…. Rhea stands zero chance of pulling this off. Love the confidence Pops! Protect the ball. Hope the DC prepares for the “tackle eligible”

Dear 6pd 8oz baby Jesus we lift Murphy up to you today! Let him not fall into the snares of the devil. Amen

My guess is that you won't be anywhere to be found on here come Saturday morning.

Sweet Science is correct. Injuries too. The Senior Class across the board in all sports isn't as stacked as previous years either. It's an oddity in my opinion.

Under dog??!!! lol how many times in a row have yall won region 7 5A?????? UNDERDOG lol give me a break! We know whos coming to town, just saying what I see on film! I'll leave my real football opinion out of this thread and just let the jokes roll. Saturday morning ill give my detailed football breakdown of what caused what's coming, because even a blind rat can see it!

The train is coming!

I wouldn't say that, at Boone I have seen us beat ourselves multiple times in the same season..... heh-heh

I would say Rob Black is worth a nickel.

Scott Cummings may be interested...

So it will be in 2056 when they play again?

He is a night owl. Bed time is not his forte for sure. Jacketpharmer Jr has made the wise move to chose English books and Edgar Allan Poe instead of these useless banter. As far as the pep rally is concerned…. This seems to be at best mystery and at worst fantasy without some sort of evidence and confirmation. Surely the H2O faithful have sent someone undercover to the local watering hole for concrete evidence. Can anyone confirm? Side note…. If any words seem to be too complex and lack meaning, @DownHillMan is working on those dictionary copies. Just have a little patience.

Clay County has the best player in the entire state in Class A and one of the best in all classifications in the returning Mr Basketball/Player of the Year Grant Strong. They have a great returning squad but they are not the favorites. Whatever teams come out of Memphis are the favorites and always will be. Heck they had kids playing in the state tournament that didn’t even play on the district tournament team! How can anyone compete with that kind of cheating? And it IS cheating don’t care what anyone says. Now since most all of the kids in the democratic run city of Memphis were made to sit out an entire season they can all move freely to whichever school they choose to. Look for a lot of 19+ year olds playing in Memphis this year. T$$AA won’t say a word either they are too scared.

Funny. We don't "here" much about you guys, either. But I do respect Mark Pemberton and the job he has done everywhere he's been. Solid football coach.

Denso or an Aluminum factory..

I stay on my feet, not on my knees Drooling over each other in football envy like some of you HC guys.

Coach did a great job at Carthage this year. Owls should be proud of their rebound season.

Well said, David. I agree. I think the adversity and sting from the failures of this season will be something these upcoming players will never wanna experience again, so it could end up working in our favor. Sometimes it takes a good humbling like that in life to wake you up. It’s all a matter of how you bounce back after that adversity, like Coach was saying on the show. We definitely need to figure something out with the S & C program though.

I've opened this thread a dozen times and just couldn't find the words. Ed was a man of conviction and wore his heart on his sleeve. He was my friend, and though we didn't see each other often he will be missed greatly. May God grant those who need it the peace and acceptance to live their lives without him until they meet again. RIP my friend.

Most important thing in your post is bigEd met Jesus ! I know you are gonna miss your brother sir !!!! Love and Prayers my friend
