Hmmm, a voice of reason.

Based on last years teams, that is a fairly even swap. Both were weak.

Could it be that SCHS outplayed them? Of course not, it had to be luck and the officials.

This just gives him a full year to change his mind endless times.

THANKS FOR THE ADVICE, PURPLE. I AM GOOD WITH IT IF YOU LIKE TO SCREAM AT FOLKS. THINK I WILL CONTINUE WITH IT MYSELF JUST TO SEE WHO WILL TAKE OFFENSE.

How about turning off the all caps, sportsmind and ballfan.

Hmmm, SCHS by 14, not much trouble in Mister Rick's house tonight.

Hard to compare the two as they are really two different type players. That being said, Hassell is my pick.

Great suggestion, T2S2A. I only wish I had thought of it.

Not surprised. Isn't it that way with everything

Interesting observation, Sidetrain.

What if Memphis Central and OR are drawn into the same bracket? No dream championship game. Also, OR must improve their team defense in order to even make it to the Boro as evidenced by their performance @ West and also vs Clinton last week. They proved last year that they could not handle strong post players in the game vs Wilson Central. It will be interesting to see how they handle the post game of MWest when and if they get to play. The only way they would play before the boro would be if one of them suffers a loss in the region final and the other wins the region final, then we got a substate matchup.

There you go, using those two words in the same sentence. Smart and coach.

Barry Saunders: one of the few class acts left in the OR school system, teacher or coach.

I don't think there is any doubt that Clinton will make it to the region tournament as the top four from the district advance to the region. Now advancing to the substate could be another story. When you get to the region, one off night and you are done except for the region finals. Of course, all a team needs is for their opponent to have an off night and they move on.

Norris should be the favorite. They can shoot it and and they have size.

Might Help if you disable pop-up blockers. Just a suggestion.

Thanks for the info ratbutt.

In trying to listen to the broadcast of the OR game vs. West it is very hard to follow as it seems that the announcers are in the learn as we go stage of their careers. Even Bob Kessling would be an improvement. Maybe the new coach at TN will bring his own announcer for TN and Kessling can move to OR with the new football coach they are getting ready to hire.

Somebody has been smoking some funny cigs.

Must be coaching.

It would seem that someone who is an expert in everything would know how to spell a persons name that he thinks is the answer to the OR coaching search. It is hard to have an intelligent discussion with someone that knows everything and it is time to move on to something more important than reading about a person patting themselves on the back. This person is out of here. The horse is dead and the meat is rotten.

balleret, I get where you are coming from. I can certainly understand how HS are having such a hard time in getting coaches. It is really an impossible job for many reasons, not the least is that when a coach comes in and trys to instill discipline and then is raked over the coals by parents and the community because little johnny or little susie is not playing or they are dismissed from the team because they violate one of his unreasonable rules. As has been said, win, win, win, but make sure that you do it with my precious child. Good luck to whomever they select, they are sure going to need it along with some divine intervention.

As usual the point was misssed completely by the resident genius. They are now clowns instead of morons. Interesting. Must be the Florida sun. Newsflash, Coach Gattis has changed the spelling of his name. This is becoming more comical by the minute. Can't wait for the next bit of breaking news.

Good point, balleret. I imagine that most in the Oak Ridge community would agree with you. But, of course, there are those groups of people that only care about winning. And that is where we are headed not only with hs football but with society as a whole. You will find those types in anything that you encounter.
