should be a good game to watch. both teams are much improved since they met in november. after its all said and done i dont think science hill will be able to handle oak ridges press they have one of the best press defenses i have seen in high school basketball. also oak ridges depth could be a big factor. norris is able to use all of his bench effectively and that pays off big in the postseason. should be a great atmosphere to watch a game in i cant wait for tomorrow night.

lets go henry co!!! good luck coach gaddis and to his players. we sure miss you back home in oak ridge. im glad to see that coaches winning ways have continued in HC. yall have a great one. good luck in the third round
-
this is one oak ridge fan that hopes henry co. pulls it out. i played on last years oak ridge team that went to the state championship game. i wish coach gaddis the best of luck and i wish he was still in oak ridge. i truly believe we would have won it all with him last year. yall have a great coach and a good man. hopefully he'll come back one day.

not meaning to bash coach gray or anything but when he was at the helm of the offense it was little too one dimensional. you can argue that he produced the career passing leader but oak ridge never threw that much in the past anyway. he was a good coach and nothing against him but i think that stevens opening it up and throwing the ball down field this year is what finally got us back to the championship. once again NO DISRESPECT TO COACH GRAY WHATSOEVER. this is just how i see it.

Last time we played at Oak Ridge there is no doubt the wheels fell off early, but now we have some guys back on D. Oak Ridge and their simple coaching staff won't be able to run toss right and toss left. This time we will score at least 28 pts. Oak Ridge don't be so ready for the Semi's because we got something for ya!
Admirals all the way to state
why not call the same play if farragut isnt gonna stop it.
-
oak ridge's defense could really be great one this year with speas at the helm. they fly around the entire field. it always seems that there are 8 or 9 ridgers around the ball. i cant wait to see how they do this year.

I dont really think under any conditions that you should pound anyone this bad,and dont give me that crap about letting the subs play, you just dont do this to a team. And surely not a team in your on County and the Coaches and players cant control what other students do painting steps so dont make that the culprit either. I just think you have to treat children in your own County with a little more respect...
your entitled to your opinion, but its wrong.

14-14 with the starters in. Cookeville will be all right.
it was at least 21-14 with the starters in if not 28-14. Gulmire ran in two tds and number 21 also caught one. dont forget binghams int return for a touchdown. those were all first string tds.
-
both teams played hard both had class it was great scrimmage with a lot of good hitting. good luck to both teams.
-
the line this year not only has the size they also have good speed. during the summer testing the slowest 40 time for the starting o line was a 5.3 and that was by our 300 pounder. watch out for this group of guys they're gonnna open some big holes.

I'm sorry sir but I disagree with you. If you're a fan you question a lot things a coach does no matter what team is playing. Yes, we the fans questions some of the calls the coach made but like you pointed out, "HIS FANS!!" It's a different situation if we the fans were the coach.
Secondly, it doesn't matter that OR is 5A and AE is 3A, football is played and called the same way. Stevens will do fine in OR. If you're basing OR's season on this passing league, you must be drinking...
Quit hating on Coach Stevens and get behind him and support him...
GO AE and GO OR!!
i agree 100 %. just give coach a little. the guys are starting to buy in more and more every day. a passing league game is no indication of a real game. in my personal opinion or would spank central with pads on. Give coach stevens a little time and u can expect or to be just as good as usual
-
Here is the staff as far as I know (and have heard): Stevens - Head Coach
Miner - O coordinator Speas - D coordinator and QBs Spratling - Corners Layton - O and D line Adams - D ends Saunders - Special Teams Beasley - Tight Ends Jackson - Recievers Again, tentative list. Spring Practice (starting Monday) will tell us a lot. Hope to see you out there Earl!
pretty good list but there are a few things wrong.
stevens- head coach
miner- o coordinator qbs*
speas- d coordinator linebackers and receivers*
sprat- corners
layton- o line and dts
adams- des
saunders- special teams
beasley- tightends
jackson- rbs and linebackers*
lewis- assisting on both lines*
that is what i have been told by the coaches and this list is just for spring practice after that coach stevens will evaluate the staff and we will know the actual list after spring.

well oak ridge has a new coach. i met him today for the first time. I for one and gonna get behind coach stevens and try and pull the cats through. it doesnt matter anymore if he wasnt your choice, it is now time to rally together and go win a state championship. Coach Stevens has proven he is capable of it and i dont see any reason this team shouldnt go all the way. Good luck wildcats and good luck coach stevens you my total support.
-
Just saw on the news that Joe Gaddis will be the new head coach at Oak Ridge!! I am looking very forward to the football season. I am sure that THIS coach will utilize players and their talent for the best of their program.
i sure hope you are right. it would put this long drawn out process to an end. they couldnt find a better choice IMO.
-
I've already sent my e-mail to the superintendent's office voicing my displeasure with Green having any say so in this matter (and my suspicions concerning any other matter). I strongly encourage others to do the same. Complaining only on this site does not serve the greater good.
Welcome aboard Coach Gaddis. Now, go use all that great talent to bring another title home and build a program my little boys will be proud to play in.
amen

it is an absolute disgrace to the fine program that is oak ridge that an outgoing principal has anything to do with the selection process. if he isnt goin to accept the committee's choice what's the point in having a committee in the first place. the whole thing just makes me sick. joe gaddis is an excellent coach that has proven he will win ball games at oak ridge. he led the team to their last championship and the fact that someone who isnt going to even be affililated with the school next year is keeping him from leading this next group of seniors to a state title is absolutely intollerable. the principal should be removed from any duties that concern choosing the next coach and the atheltic director along with the superintendent should be the ones making that call. on a side i note i know for a fact that most of the players want and hope for gaddis to be their next coach. as a matter of fact i heard that carringer's office had players pouring in and out today saying that they support gaddis.

any time oak ridge meets dobyns bennet it is a true classic. there isnt another rivalry better in east tennessee and i would say in all of TN.

if i were picking right now i would have gulmire and miller on the ballot for mr. football. of course alot could happen over the season but as of right now they should be two of the favorites.
-
i live in oak ridge and i get to watch spencer play every game but i couldnt pick one out of those four. if i had to choose id say gulmire and miller are the two best but i couldnt pick just one.
-
If anyone who reads this can say they never made a mistake PLEASE LET US KNOW! Most people don't know the reason Joe Gaddis left Oak Ridge for Mississippi after Bruce had him followed so he could get leverage to steal his job. So what if he got a little boooger on the side on his own time. None of your business.
At least he didn't get his rocks off humiliating players. And looking down his nose at people.
Heard of forgiveness? Look into it.
Everyone deserves a second chance.
Yes he can coach OR again if chosen.
i agree completely. everyone deserves a second chance and everyone screws up every now and then. let by gones be by gones and hire the coach that has won more ball games in oak ridge history than any one else.

well i havent heard much about DB this year but im sure they've got something cookin up there. i cant wait to make the trip this year and play the indians. it should make for a classic as always when the wildcats meet the indians this year.

Soddy Daisy was a very good football team last year. They were very big and physical. they also had an outstanding QB is Orr. i dont see them doing quite as well this year.
1. Oak Ridge
2. Ooltewah
3. Soddy Daisy
4. Farragut
Miner - O coordinator Speas - D coordinator and QBs Spratling - Corners Layton - O and D line Adams - D ends Saunders - Special Teams Beasley - Tight Ends Jackson - Recievers Again, tentative list. Spring Practice (starting Monday) will tell us a lot. Hope to see you out there Earl!
