    Agree with the exception of the turnovers comment. West has turned the ball over three times in all 4 games and still managed to win. If they can clean that up...the scores might look more impressive 

    Oh wow! I didn't realize they have turned it over that much!

    Cherokee’s and Cats met in the playoffs last year, and OR won a tough, hard hitting, tightly contested ballgame. Who takes the 2023 tilt between the two?

    OR should win this one by 14+. McMinn relies heavily on the run game and I feel like that's what OR is the best at stopping. McMinn hasn't thrown the ball much this year. Oak Ridge will load the box and shut them down.

    I say Oak Ridge wins 28-7 somewhere in that neighborhood.

    I heard HVA gave up two scoop and score fumbles that made this one 31-0 and a lot worse than it was. Sounded like Halls was better on the lines too. HVA now heads into a murderers row with Bearden first,

    I feel bad for them. Clinton has been in their shoes before.  Wing-T.....smh  Bless em

    Yeah we had 3 or 4 turnovers in the red zone, which killed us. Not making excuses but that game could’ve easily been in the 60s to 0. I’ll give credit to Karns, but most of them were unforced too. The young Sophomore QB, while very talented, still makes those Sophomoric mistakes every now and again. Will definitely have to clean that up against stiffer competition.

    As you already know....turnovers will kill a team. Clinton had 5 turnovers against West. You have to play a almost perfect game to beat teams like West.

    I seen that. OR looked rusty but Karns was pretty good size. And True Karns did not get the score. OR is in better shape than I assumed for 1st year coach. I think Clinton still a bit to go to beat the Mavs. 

    In the 4 years that Keith has been here, Clinton has gotten better and are beating the teams they should beat, but can't seem to beat the really good teams just yet. Hopefully, they are heading in that direction. 

    Right now, if Clinton were to beat Oak Ridge and Powell, and AC....I would consider those upsets and a signature win.

    Is West really that good? I mean they beat Bearden in which the Dawgs had their way for 3 qtrs. They beat Clinton but most average teams would. They beat Farragut but what I saw based on DCM it was gifted to them. They beat Maryville but let’s be honest, not even close to a healthy Maryville or what most are accustomed to out of Maryville. Not taking anything away from West as they have found ways to win but I am just not sure as to how good they actually are.

    West isn't as explosive as they have been in past years. But they still have a very good defense and a pretty good run game. As long as you have both of those, you will have a chance to win every game. They have also taken advantage of other teams turnovers and not turned it over alot themselves.

    Problem for AC could be if Clinton continues to improve after the Powell and OR games or do they lose some close ones and get disheartening. But any way it goes this will be a rivalry game and my guess is you can throw everything you know out the window. Clinton's better than last year, leaps. Can't wait to see OR and Clinton as OR is obviously better too 

    It seemed as if OR started off slow against Karns. Maybe OR was keeping it as vanilla as possible.  The important thing is OR's defense pitched a shutout and won comfortably. They will be more than ready for Clinton in a couple of weeks. Clinton will have their hands full with Powell Thursday night.

    Looks like the Dragons may have hit a stride. Should be interesting at the Dragon Den in a few weeks time. :shock:

    Who they're playing has alot to do with that SS. We have Pal Thursday night.  Hopefully they can keep this momentum. If Clinton can beat Powell, they might be able to give OR a good game in a couple of weeks.
