Like last night's game between Halls and CC, it probably will come down to who has the most gas in the tank in the 2nd half. (and we are much better than CC or Halls)

Austin did say he was basing his prediction on how are lines played last year, which was not great. So far we have looked good in our line play. I'm thinking like a 21-18 game in favor of the Wildcats.

Campbell County started strong but has faltered here early in the 3rd.

I'm watching the WLAF broadcast, it's fine.

I thought we looked pretty decent. If we can continue to block for Dozier it's going to be a fun year. Everything is new and we started a little slow, but showed some promise. Receiving core is fairly deep, running backs, not so much. I thought lines did well on both side of ball. I don't know how good Fulton really is, but Maryville should be quite a test. I have a feeling that we will work on tackling this week as it was not good.

Very sad to hear. A huge loss for Tennessee High School Football. Prayers for his family.

According to 5 Star Preps, there is a QB battle between Stansbury and Goins. Garza, who started the last half of the year, is no longer on the team. We have had some attrition from last year, but the team still looks pretty solid. We'll know more for sure come Friday.

I was going to wait until after the Fulton scrimmage. Hope to catch a little practice today. I'm still around! Hard to tell about a team until after the hitting starts.

I was there until 7:00. I thought we looked good, but considering it was a joint practice and not a scrimmage it is hard to draw many conclusions. We have a lot of speed on both sides of the ball. Our lineman competed hard; first unit defense dominated up front. If we can keep our guys healthy, it should mean a special season. Some players that stood out: Dozier should have a monster season for us; Heyward, Amari and Cummings will burn a lot of teams that we play; also, Noles #20 gives us another option at TE; both Stansbury and Garza looked good at QB. Defense was dominate and aggressive. We have good depth backing most of the starters. Most important, I thought everyone on the field had a good idea of what they were supposed to do. Probably the most positive thing I got out of this session.

I don't see that either. Most injuries that I have seen in the game come from layups.

Yes, like Try wrote 4 per quarter, then subsequent fouls gives 2 shots. Fouls reset at each quarter. Just like college, I expect the shot clock will be implemented soon if schools can afford to take on the cost.

Yes, but due to weather forecast, it has been moved to tomorrow (17th).

Oak Ridge at Halls, May 15th.

I didn't think they would win District either, but here we are. We have 1 starter back for Maryville, we'll see how it goes.

What horrible news! RIP Willie! Prayers for his family.

Congrats to the District Tournament Champs! What a performance being 3 starters down. One of the best wins of Coach Taylor's career. According to David Clary, this was our 30th District Title in the modern basketball era. On to Region!

The big one is the change for offensive holding behind the line of scrimmage. At the link below: NFHS Rule Changes

HTV literally covered that situation in his first post on the subject. <sheesh>

It is indeed Coach Rang.

Facts.

Good wins by the boys and girls. Both teams were short-handed, but played well.

I would agree. Younger guys stepping up as well.

Statement from Coach Cummings:

Only this press release from OR Schools: “Oak Ridge Schools can confirm that Coach Scott Cummings is no longer employed as the Head Football Coach at Oak Ridge High School. Because this involves a personnel matter, however, Oak Ridge Schools will have no further comment at this time, other than to wish Coach Cummings the best moving forward.”
