Harriman has around 300 in the school and Kingston has about 675. With an enrollment of more than double Kingston should win every year. I'm not making excuses, I really don't care who wins. However facts are facts. Kingston is 3A and Harriman is 1A. I realize this is a big county rivalry, and I have been to several of these games. What does Kingston gain from beating a 1A school? Heck they should beat them. If Harriman gets beat so what they should. I guess if your looking at winning and losing Kingston has more to lose. I think that they keep playing for the gate. With football usually supporting many of the other sports this would be a big boost in funds for a 1A school. I bet Harriman makes more off the Kingston gate than they make on their other four home games combined. This should be a good week for Roane county football. You have Kingston, Harriman on Thursday and Midway, Rockwood on Friday. I might try and go watch both games. Good luck to all the county teams this week.

I was at the Harriman, AE scrimmage. If that was AE's JV they brought about 70 of'em and two D1 prospects played.

Couldn't make it to the scrimmage Friday, how did it go? How did the yellow jackets look with their new head coach? Did the offense look any different? How did Monterey do? I heard they had a really good fullback.

When do the jackets have their first scrimmage?

When's the next scrimmage?

When, where, and who are the cats scrimmaging this fall?

The jackets must be good this year. Three days and no pads? Are they so good this year they don't need pads? Where's the helmets?

I’m sure all these fine young men that have played for the jackets over the years will return to the communities they are from and make great contributions! Better luck next year.

Please don’t take this the wrong way. As an outsider looking in at the Oneida program, it seems to me that the past couple years really show how good a job Coach Henry and Mays where doing at Oneida. I have watched the Oneida program for several years, and they always seemed to compete for the region. Please understand I’m not criticizing the current staff. I’m sure they are doing the best they can. I just think sometimes you don’t realize what you have till you don’t have it anymore. Good luck to Oneida.

If going for two when it's 48 - 6 late in the 4th is class and respect; I’ll just take Harriman I guess.

ice, your an idiot! No one in Roane County runs a 4.4! The fastest kid in the county is probably the QB from Midway. Harriman would be luck if they had two or three players that ran in the high 4's.

I'm confused, I was looking at the NFL draft stats on each player on draft day. They had WR/DB picks that didn't run 4.4s. I'm even more confused about the named players. One lives in Oakdale, one in Wartburg and the other was from Clinton. How did they end up in Coalfield? The strong academics I guess. Morgan County does not have to worry about consolidation of the schools. Coalfield has already taken care of the situation for them. Cheap Gas Alert!!!! I have seen MPG buying gas several times at the Oakdale Fuel Center. For someone who has "moved" to Coalfield he is driving a long way to buy gas. Must be really cheap!!!!

I think Oliver Springs has the O and D line to outmatch kingston. I however think Kingston has a slight edge on the skilled people. Of course this is not new to the bobcats. Nearly everyone they play has better skill people. I think OS can stop Kingston from running the ball. The question will be can they stop the pass? If the cats can keep from giving up the big play they will win a close one. Good luck to both teams. I'm goin with the cats 21-17.

I think like any other team that will play Wartburg this year the key to success is controlling Arms. I think that as Arms goes so does Wartburg. I also think that Rockwood has the defensive people to keep him in check. I think the tigers proved this last year. They shut the dogs down on offense and the game was over by the half. Coach Allen does an excellent job and will have them ready tomorrow. If Arms has a good night it could be a close game. I however think Rockwood will win.

I saw Midway play last week. They did a really great job against Oliver Springs. The OS lineman are huge! The score was 28-6 but this by no means indicates how well Midway played. I think Midway will win 28-14.
