Sept. 24 Maryville (away)
The much-anticipated game is finally a reality. All eyes will be on Maryville for this televised Thursday night game that has sub-plots galore. After all, Blade??™s Nashville Hillsboro team defeated the Rebels 10-7 in last year??™s state Class 4-A title game, ending Maryville??™s string of state championships and snapping its winning streak at 74 games. Does Oak Ridge have enough this season to hang close to the mighty Rebels?.....that game will be the game of games right there and it will be televised.
