STILLNUM1

The man hasnt been here 2 full years and ready to move on.This is not a talented team.Very weak SR class to say the least and had to replace a ton of production from last yr with young players.Before the season if you told me Oak Ridge would win the region and couple of playoff games I would take it.They can still do that.When has the coaching staff been in dissaray?What kills most programs is the people who spread BS because they are mad the HC they liked didnt get hired.Or the SC camp who spreads crap.Too many selfish people with an agenda.Not saying that is you but dont believe everything you hear.Rang will do a fine job if he has support and time.And I dont know him but I dont think he cares about JG being on sidelines cheering on team and getting upset at the refs,Its not like he is trying to coach players in the background.The man loves Oak Ridge and wants to see them win as bad as anybody in the stands.

Is it a transfer when a kid goes from middle school to a high school.It would be different if he went to Anderson Co.But I wish Oak Ridge got some known local transfers.Seems like we get less than the avg high school because of tuition.

This will be a tough test for a young inexperienced Oak Ridge team.Only way they win is if Pressly,Howard and QB1 make enough big plays.We also need 9 to be a big time player this yr on both sides.Also look forward to watching the big Vol commit and T.Walters going at it in the trenches. About ready to hit the road to JC.RWR

Not a Powell fan but you are right.I think it is huge loss when he is not playing. Probably a 10 to 14 pt difference if he plays

Sorry to hurt your feelings but it was DK who lied on the Oak Ridge HC and said they refused to shake his hand but then deleted his video after he was proved to be a liar.It was DK who recruits kids at Oak Ridge and uses the problem people to do it.It was DK who said the refs cheated Clinton because he was black.I could go on and on but typical Clinton behavior to play victim and take no responsibility.Dont be mad at an Oak Ridger talking about it because its a statewide story.Just go be better and correct the problem.At least now the new HC will teach the players how to act and not put up with the BS.If he gets rid of a couple on the staff he could do some good things.At least a product you can be proud of and not one built on lies,transfers and cheating

Clinton and coach Keith have in no way been cleared of wrong doing.This one thing was something AD turned in when the grade changing scandel 1st broke.He knew TSSAA would be looking and while covering his own tracks thought they played an ineligible player.TSSSAA has yet to investigate the grade changing scandel and how it will affect all sports.So please spare us the Coach Keith being a victim.Everyone knew Clinton was cheating but we didnt know how bad it was.If all the facts come out everyone will see Clinton had no option but to not renew Keiths contract.All those games and more will eventually be forfeited if TSSAA does their job at all.No matter how much DK plays victim it will not change the facts

Thats all the matters now so Im with ya

I was hoping for an easier rd 1 matchup but hope the Cats can get it done Friday night.Oak Ridge is an odd team that has me excited thinking we can make it to State.Then 10 mins later I could see us losing this game.If our line can block at all we already know Dozier will do what he does.Our young QB has got better and better but is still a sophomore and has no playoff experience.I think each game from here on will be the same story.Can Oak Ridge win upfront or at least no get whipped.If so I think we can beat anybody in 5A.I just wish we had a little more depth at key spots(RB,DL,OL,LB) and I would feel like we were favs to win it all.Unfortunately we dont so staying healthy and sharp will be key.Lets pack the ship and get a big playoff win.This SR group deserves our support for all they have worked through.

The Clinton coaches feel good about the draw.They seem confident about playing some different guys at RB and moving the ball.If you can whip Clinton upfront they really struggle but they think McMinn has a solid defense but not good enough upfront to stop the run and more importantly get after the QB.I think the Clinton QB will run more than he has all year.The Clinton defense is a weakness but the style of offense McMinn plays is what Clinton is best at stopping.I was thinking Mcminn 28 to 20 but now going with Clinton.Lets just hope the Clinton coaches are better at evaluating than they are coaching.The Oak Ridge /McMinn game was so odd I cant remember much about what McMinn had.Just going off what they say Clinton has a big advantage at skill spots.McMinn a little better upfront but not enough to matter.I guess we will find out because I thought McMinn was pretty good upfront.

How Clinton gonna cheat so bad and still lose.Running that mouth all offseason but forgot games had to be played.I love seeing Don in that ugly orange and black looking lost and confused as ever.Clinton people really bought in to Coach Keith but surely see through the bs now.Quit going and recruiting all the East TN malcontents that nobdy else wants to put up with and play with Clinton players.That man obsessed with Oak Ridge and thought getting anybody from Oak Ridge was a big win for him.Didnt even realize he was just helping us out so we dont have to deal with them and some of their crazy parents.Poor kids on his team still never seen Clinton beat Oak Ridge.What will he try next

I agree and why I have Powell 34 Oak Ridge 13.Game will be closer than the final score will show.Good news is I think this will be a great learning experience for the young Sophomore QB Stansberry.Besides Oline I think lack of experience and talent at LB will really hurt Oak Ridge tonight.Ill be on the fence cheering for my Ridgers.Get a big win for Willie this yr.Go Cats

Yea something is fishy when any team has over 10 transfers but transferring to Clinton is real suspect.Anybody that talks about them brings up what the coaches have been saying to kids and what is going on.Maybe they will get away with it since its just Clinton.But getting back to game I dont see how Clinton could lose this game.Even getting outcoached bad wont keep this one close.I got Clinton 54 Scott 6.I think JKeith has a big game

This team is quietly going thru the offseason and has a real shot at being really good.Losing BK will be hard to replace on defense but if the learning curve with the new staff doesnt take too long this team will surprise some people.Besides LB we should be better at every position.This could be the best Dline we have had in a while.Go Cats

Ray Ray and Big Coop gonna be a problem the next 2 years.Great PG-big man combo.Big Coop has already got a lot better this yr.OaK Ridge could have some really good teams the next 2 years.

Ray Ray has improved so much and got this team back on track with Scott out.Scott has kinda of been in a slump since the injury but as he gets back to normal we should get even better.Add that in with an improved Ray Ray and we could make a decent run a State.Comer is dealing with lingering injury that hopefully gets right soon but its up in air right now.We really need him back vs the best teams

I agree. It really held us back last yr and has in the past.I like that he has a good young one to work with right now

You are way too invested in this to not have some deep connection.You love to hate on Oak Ridge but are really tore up about this for some reason.

Bingo.Ive seen that at Oak Ridge and wondered why someone would go from HC to Asst and thats why.Could be a big deal for some families.And Ive always heard they pay the HCs very well.

A proven winner. Someone who understands how to run a program from top to bottom.This is not a plug and play type of position right now.Its bigger than X and Os

Lol u are a mess

They would run back to Oak Ridge

I have always liked Joe and just because I dont agree with him dont mean I have no use for him.But everyone around the program had knowledge that Principal Adams wanted and hired Scott.It was also known that Joe and others didnt like the hire.A few parents complained about bad language and Scott was never warned or told he needed to cut it out.He goes to this meeting and is blindsided by all of this and had no idea what was about to happen.Now most ADs would have gave their coach a heads up and as a former coach went to bat for him.Now I dont know every little detail and maybe Scott has left something out.Maybe somehow Joe was blindsided and didnt know what was about to happen.But it dont look good when you have made comments to people though out the yr not backing your HC.I know for Joe its hard when kids you coached have parents that come up and bad mouth the new coach and you like them and try to please everyone.But as a former coach you know how parents are and you cant let them have their way.I just dont think its right for a man to move his family and you dont give him a fair shake.Not to mention how bad Scott wanted this job and was putting in so so much time.I have people all over that school from top to bottom and have not heard anything else besides bad language, attitude and hard to get along with.But if anything else comes out that proves Scott in the wrong I will be the first to say I was wrong.It would make me feel better about the whole thing if there was a valid reason.

Joe will be the one making the hire.From everything Ive heard our new principal is giving Joe all the say unless there was some unreal red flag.How could anybody be excited or justify bringing the staff from HV back after they gave us one of the worst seasons in Oak Ridge history.Scott had to fix a lot of issues and if you remember when he was hired, he laid out all the things our program had to fix or get better at.Last thing we need is anybody that was fine with the way things were being done.Our only hope is Joes love for Oak Ridge will win out over hiring a friend instead of a better option.I just cant imagine there not being better options than what is at the school now or HV.Well besides the one we ran off
