Fundamentals

Its great to hear that we won last night, I knew you all would be a scary tournament team. Keep playing hard and having fun, I wish I could come see. Keep up the good work.

Kazaam, Who is the team that you were talking about that had no bench????

Oneida has had many great quarterbacks to come through the system. Some of my personal favorites were Stan Pennington and Jason Pike. How good the quarterback is, usually is determined on how good the rest of the team is. Several have past and several are still yet to come. What made the quarterbacks good was that they had the trust of their teammates, they gained this trust by showing heart out on the field. This Oneida team lacks heart, can they find it in the next two games, I Hope So!!!!

Oneida wins 4-1.

After watching Oneida play, here is what I think. Oneida is capable of beating any team any night if they play TOGETHER. It seems like when the other team hits a big basket then Oneida goes to a ONE on ONE game. Oneida doesn't have the players to go one on one. They start forcing everything and shooting terrible shots. Oneida has to establish some sort of post game to make a run in the tourney. If the post don't show up, Oneida will be one and done in the tourney. Quit playing ME ball and play TEAM ball. Make the tradition at Oneida come back to life. Play hard for 4 quarters and leave everything out there. Basketball is a game with 5 players not 1. Play as a TEAM and you will win. You have the TEAM to do it. Make Oneida proud and suck it up, when things don't go your way, who cares make it up by playing harder. Go ONEIDA beat THE DOGS!!!!

Sears, You gotta come up with a better user name than that, I figured you out easily. SLSEARS21@tntech.edu????????? How's everything down in Cookvegas. Well this game has huge implications on the standings in the region. Don't count out Oneida just yet.

I believe I know who WrittenWord is. Hey Roark, if you give me enough money I might fill you in on it.

Hudson Hawk, You should know that Huntsville plays your Hawks and Oneida plays LaFollette.

Don't count Oneida out just yet. The season is still early and look for them to regroup after a disappointing loss to Coalfield.

Hey Foster (Tightend5), Get a Life, If everybody was as good as you thought you were, the world would be a great place. If I recall correctly, last year although Oneida did get beat to your Coalfield team, Smith ran the option around YOU the entire night. Get a Life and quit bashing all the players cause from what I recall you weren't too impressive. Although you think you were. "THE OLDER FOSTER GETS, THE BETTER FOSTER THINKS HE WAS."

Oneida has been waiting for this game for a year now. This one should be a great game to watch and be apart of. Coalfield's speed against Oneida's experience. Can't wait to see this one.

This years Coalfield / Oneida game looks to be like a good one on paper. Coalfield's impressive offensive display against Wartburg has opened some eyes. Oneida's game against McCreary was not as close as the score indicated. Oneida's starters played like only one or two series in the second half. The first half lasted 2 hours and 30 minutes. It was ridiculous. Everytime Oneida would get going the ref's would have a timeout for water it was crazy. This game being at Oneida I believe gives Oneida an advantage. Its hard to win in Oneida. The fans help out a lot. I believe Oneida will be ready for a stiff challenge against Coalfield. I look for Oneida to rebound after a somewhat sluggish performance last week with a victory this week.

How's Oneida's QB?

UCHSPatriots, What is your intake on Oneida, who to watch out for and other information would be nice. Good luck against Pigeon Forge next week.

Thanks UCHSPatriots, I think Oneida is much better too, just wondering your thoughts about it.

UCHSPatriots, Just wondering who you think is better Coalfield or Oneida.

They play tonight at Union County, Friday.

Your right, Oneida looked impressive. 55-0, I believe.

I know exactly the school that you are talking about. Their coach talked at a football conference in Pigeon Forge and I got to hear all about it. Their facilities are like none other. Their football team is pretty impressive too. They pass like every play and run draws every know and then. Their running back is one of the best in the state because of other teams respecting the pass so much.

Ro8432, You say that Oneida only threw to Grigsby. What games were you at. Armstrong caught almost all of the passes in the beginning of the year and other teams were forced to double team him. Then Oneida started throwing to Grigsby, they had to because Armstrong was double teamed. Thank goodness Grigsby caught on the system and became a heck of a ball player.

Looks like this could be a big year for Oneida. They seemed to move the ball at will. The Dogs ran the ball well with the BIG fullback. Both teams should be good come fall. Oneida looks like they LOVE to hit.

What a game. The atmosphere was amazing. Oneida gave LC all they wanted and then some. Hopefully now, Oneida will get some of the respect that they deserve. Both teams left it out on the field tonight. Oneida had three great scoreing opportunities in the first half and a couple in the second. LC dominated mostly in the first half but in the second half it was pretty even. Oneida held a 1-0 lead with around 7 minutes to play. LC which appeared to be offside at the angle I was looking at, outraced the Oneida defense and made a nice shot on goal. With about 15 seconds to play Oneida had a scoring chance and the Oneida player was taking out in the box, no call. Thats how the game goes. Hopefully these two teams will meet in the district tournament championship. Great Game both teams.

I like the response to Alwaysgonnachop. I think Oneida has too much firepower when they are all healthy.They started to show me the capability they had when Douglas went down. With him back, watch out. I might switch Midway and Greenback, it is about a toss up, it probably depends on were they play. Football time is approaching, it should be a good year. CAK at number 7 please. How about 3 or 4.

I have seen Oneida play without their leading goal scorer. They play with a lot of heart. I would hate to play against them, with him in the lineup. I'm going to Kingston on Friday night to see a great game. I wish Oneida's leading scorer was playing to see what the score would be with him in the lineup. The Indians will have to play hard to beat a good Kingston team.

Gallatin beat Hillsboro 3-2. Oak Ridge beat White Station 7-0. Oneida beat McGavock 1-0.
