Final injury update on Matt Neil, out for the game with a concussion. Another downer for the owls is that defensive end Zach Mobley is out with a strained MCL. Defense needs to step up. BMI needs to get it in gear this week.

Update on Gregory. Last night against Farragut he averaged 45.3 yards on 4 punts: 55, 50, 38, and 39 yards. Hang time was huge and the return man for farragut really had no chance to run the ball. Once again, big punts in the big games.

Ok time to represent the punters. John Gregory from Ooltewah hasnt had the chance to punt as many times this year because of an outstanding running back in Dwayne Caldwell, but when he has it has been a thing of beauty. He has had 25 punts averaging 41 yards with a long of 53. 8 of those punts have been inside the 20 and 3 inside the 5. 5 fair catches to go along with that. He won the long distance punt and best over all punter awards at the Univeristy of Georgia camp this summer and placed second in the hangtime with an average of 4.4 seconds. If the returner from the other team has no chance to run and the punter can back the other team up, he has become the most dangerous defensive player on the team. In two years he has a total of 58 punts with a long of 72. 14 punts inside the 20 yard line and 9 fair catches. Listed on propunter.com and kicking.com check it out. Stats are also on ohsowls.com.

I dont know about kicker, but John Gregory is the best punter around. He hasnt had too many chances to punt because of an awesome running back in Dewayne Caldwell, but when he has had the chance, it has been a thing of beauty. Against Heritage last year he was 7 deep in his own endzone and boomed a 75 yard punt. This year he averaged 44.8 yards on 5 punts against Soddy and 41.4 against Oak Ridge. He hits the big punts in the big games. More stats to come later.

is there a difference between mr. football kicker and punter? or they run into the same thing?

The Williams injury is to his left elbow. He was reaching back to pick up a fumble when a helmet camp in and bent it in the wrong direction. Docs think its torn ligaments but still a game time decision. He's a fighter and a leader on the team. HE WILL PLAY.

I assume you guys are saying that SD will not lose to McMinn? Beware there is an upset in the air..... I guess that would ruin your big game next week.... And by the way the Ooltewah people said there would be 5-7K people @ the McMInn game this year and there was no where near that....Good Luck..... GO TRIBE!!!!

At the OWLS NEST they have a 10 X 10 stencil of the owls football helmet in the middle of the field and they have OOLTEWAH across the lenth of the endzones. Best looking field of any I have seen this year.

The game is thursday night at 7:30. All homecoming activites are off untill the Soddy game.

I would just like to point out that someone's stats on that kid are way off. I follow the punters and kickers around this area and Hambrick couldn't have had 2 punt returns for 45 yards when Gregory had 2 punts: 44 yards 7 on the return and 38 yards out of bounds at the 6. Just thought i might point that out. Might want to check the rest of that kids stats also.

hey Colonel id like to know how you know so much about John and his abilities. You know all about his camps and who told him what. just makes me wonder if you arent him.
