I would like to say that I was not aware that the question was posed directly to me. I thought it was either posed to someone else or it was a rhetorical question. A question that you did not want answered but wanted to state. Yes, 91 was the last time. That is correct. 2003 will be the next. Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Well, just to make sure that we have all the information. Oak Ridge has 8 Gold Balls and 5 of the Gold Balls were since the playoff formation. Let's not forget 1958 National Champions. It is obviously a school rich in tradition. Riverdale has a great progam. It will be a great game.

Last I heard the number of schools correlates with the total population of the town;therefore Murfreesboro will logically have more schools. What does it really matter which town has more 5a schools anyway? It does not matter what anyone says or thinks about the game on this message board. What it all comes down to is 2 1/2 hours tomorrow night that only the boys and the coaches control. You never know what will happen and who will win. It all depends who shows up and wants it more. Respect, integrity and love of the game are the values that these boys will learn and take with them through life. Years from now they will look back and remember playing this game and how excited they were. They will remember playing their hearts out to win for the coaches, fans and most important themselves. One team will go home a losing team, but they will also gain a valubale life lesson. They will learn that life will bring disappointments , and the important thing is how you handle it. I would like to wish both teams good luck. Remember that you have been given a valuable life experience. They might not realize it now , but in the future the boys will realize they are the lucky ones.

Go Wildcats. It is all about the boys. They will get out there and show everyone how it is done. I suggest if you want to see a good football game and are not afraid of the rain or some cold weather you watch this one. Oak Ridge is due and will go all the way. Roll Wildcats Roll.
