STILLNUM1

Im ready for some real football.Time to put the flags away and start hitting people.This could be such a fun year if we can get the Oline up to par.Weapons all over the place and different types of skill guys.I look forward to seeing what Coach C runs on offense with this group.Looks to me like Sharp will be QB1 to start season but still time left.We are so close to finding out a lot about this team and new staff.Ive been very impressed by the new staff so far.RWR

Hoping a hard-core OR fan can answer this....  Who is Oak Ridge's biggest rival?     Also, what do you think about the Dobyns Bennett game, does that generate any excitement?

Ive always loved playing DB but it has lost its luster in last 4 or 5 years.It was big time when we was in the same class.Even with some big games vs DB Ive never had the dislike for them like I do for some teams.It has always been a class program with nice fans.Clinton should be our biggest rival but after so many blow outs it died down for a while.But with the new coach and his antics I think it will be fun for a couple of years.Any time Clinton thinks they are going to win it makes it good.I really think the Powell game has been gaining steam.

Appreciate that sentiment STILLNUM1. 

What did ya think of the Cummings interview Sweet found? I like the guy. He loves our skill players but recognizes our small Lineman must play like beast!

I loved it.I think we hit a home run with Cummings.It may take a couple of years to get his culture and system in place but I think he is just what we need at this point.I cant wait for the first game

I appreciate you asking. I have caused some trouble on CoachT over the years and it feels good you all reaching out to wish me and my wife well. I will earn your trust back.                                        Cyndee has gone back to work at Hobby Lobby and I have gotten over the headaches. All in all, we should be all better soon.

Im happy to hear yall are doing better.Some things a lot more important than disagreements on CoachT.Plus CoachT wouldnt be the same without Willie the Wildcat

OR cat, heard anything about a photo from the end of last week taken at OR having to do with water fountains? 

You are a joke.You must be new to Clinton and not know the history of that school.Oak Ridge has a great rep of being one of the most diverse and inclusive places in Tennessee.But you dont care anyway and just being a troll trying to start something.Take some time away from Oak Ridge football and learn some history about your school

And God forbid a Clinton fan "Try" OR. It is those comments by OR fans that make most teams in the area not like OR.  What has OR done in the last decade besides beat West on a lucky call to cake walk into a state game? 

What are the teams in  the area that dont like Oak Ridge.Clinton has been a trainwreck for years but too worried about what AC and Oak Ridge are doing to fix it.Oak Ridge has a top 10 or 5 team in state about every yr but I guess thats not enough for a Clinton fan.Go play more give me wins and act like things are getting better and we will worry bout Oak Ridge.Coach Cummings will make you proud in the next decade

I just thought this was a place to exchange ideas about programs in our area?  Not trying to be negative.  I guess when it comes to OR we can only discuss the positive things?

It no doubt is the place to share what you want.I just want to know where you are coming from so I know not to feed into it or not.You are trying to be slick and troll Oak Ridge while trying to look like you are doing something else.

I can appreciate your excitement. He is a good coach, but I think everyone knows he is only as good as his Defensive Coordinator. He scores points but most of OR games will turn into shoot outs… if he has any players left by August 

Why are you coming on here trying to be negative about Oak Ridge?Do you have something against Oak Ridge or Coach Cummings.Who is your team? Just trying to figure out where all your comments are coming from?I seen where somebody said something about Clinton to you but surely a Clinton fan wouldnt be trying Oak Ridge

What little I have got to know our new coach has been great.I have no doubt he will have us on top in no time.If you are good he will find a way for you to help the team.Ive been impressed and if parents can get behind him and just tell little Johnny to go to work they will be happy in the end.Its too bad so many kids today are taught its all about them because its so much better when you play for the right reasons.Im just glad my parents told me to get better instead taking my side when I would complain about not getting ball enough.We have some really good players and it can get good quick if we can fix or improve a few areas in yr 1.Go Wildcats

StillNum, There will not be a spring scrimmage this year.  There are around 25 players not participating in football this spring  because of track and baseball.  There will be an open practice day with drills and competitions on the last day of practice May 17.  The team will be bussing to Blankenship for all spring practices due to the renovation of Ben Martin Track.  

Thanks for info

Any news on any spring scrimmage?

Congrats to DB.It was great to see all the real high school teams battle it out.So much better this way than these super teams with transfers from all over winning.Hopefully it stays this way for a while

Brian Kelly has been active on Twitter. He has posted some weight lifting videos and track videos. Kelly should take over for Berven as the next OR All-State LB. 

I can't remember if I have posted this yet.  Heyward earned his Fouth Star. Tee got 5 Stars and Brandon should get a fifth star next season.

Hundley has earned a recruitment to West Point.

Kelly leading the defense.Weapons all over the place on offense with multiple D1 players.If the new staff plus hard work in weight room pays off upfront Oak Ridge can be really really good.As the case most years at Oak Ridge it all comes down how good line will be.I have a lot of faith in the new staff and cant wait to see them in action

Serious question, not an attempt to throw shade at anyone or stir anything up but I heard a pretty good athlete that played two years at Central is now working out and intending to play with OR this season.  Did he move to OR or was he always from OR to begin with and now wants to come home due to the coaching change? 

Ive not heard of anyone but I hope he is good.What position?

Congrats to the Wildcats on another great season.  Coach Green runs an excellent program.  Bearden and Oak Ridge is always an exciting matchup.  What is the analysis from the Oak Ridge faithful on the game last night?

We picked a bad night to not play good.For some reason we just didnt look like ourselves.I give them credit having a good yr after losing so much.We had some solid players this yr but really missed having a true post player.This team was undersized and just played hard and got the most out of what they had most nights

Well nobody seems to care but I do! Our girls got beaten by a very good Farragut team last night to end their season. We played well on defense but just couldn't overcome the size of the Farragut players. They were tall. Plus there was a "lid" on our basket all night as we couldn't get anything to go in! 

Thanks for the great season and we enjoyed watching our Lady Wildcats!!

WILDCAT PRIDE

They was just too big for us.I had fun watching this team grow and believe a lot more people will care and pay attention the next 3 years.Proud of the hard work and fight all yr

I think the issue is people subconsciously think that if they downgrade and slander something, eventually it will become the negative aspects people say. I also think that since Clinton is having some slight success in sports this year, the old guard wants the sports programs to “stay in their place” at the bottom. The reality for those critiquers is if the team at the bottom starts coming up, someone else is going to the bottom! 

I agree with some of what you said but a lot of the talk is all on Clinton.The HC has ran his mouth and said a lot of dumb things.

Just curious about a rumor I heard at a basketball game I was at for Scott Co.  I was told the coach at Clinton has kids (potential players) living with him under a foster care program type deal?  Surely this isn't true right?!?  

I ask around today about this and was told by a Clinton person that he has heard the coach has had a player or players living with him but wasnt sure if it was still the case

Nothing would surprise me with Clinton and that HC.We know they recruit but as of now the only people that would be crazy enough to go is the ones you dont want anyway.

One thing I can count on this time of year is doing my taxes and Oak Ridge winning another title.Everybody come out Friday and Sat.

Good victory tonight over the Bobcats.  We were able to play deep into the bench pretty early tonight.  Our starters should be rested and ready to go Monday evening vs. Powell.

Should be a battle to see who the real champ is.I know all area teams are not feeling good about all the young talent at Oak Ridge and know they better win while they can.It would be a huge win if this team can win the district tourny Monday

Is it a bird?

Is it PRICELESS?

No

No

Yes...Gracie Hearon is BACK!   In her first action of the season, Gracie poured in 10 points and hustled her heart out to prove she is a true grinding Lady Wildcat. So proud of you Gracie. You are an inspiration to Oak Ridge.

Keep getting better. RWR!

 

Gracie coming back is huge for Lady Cats.We needed some size and plus she is a great teammate.Its amazing she was able to come back and play and Im so happy for her.She was working really hard in off season

I am a big fan of the twins, too. They have no fear and stick their noses into anything and everything. They are what people call WINNERS. 

What was the Clinton coach trying to do by calling those two timeouts with seconds left? A message to his players? 

It was great listening to the YouTube Prep Radio stream. Myers did a GREAT job. Clary and Haste made sure everything ran smoothly.

RWR!

 

Yes we are also spoiled with great play by play guys.Clary is the goat and Alex is always great

In fairness to Garner, we double him a lot every time we play them and try to make some of their other players beat us. The other night Thackerson and a few others stepped up and got the job done, but last night other than the PG Bright, none of the others were able to step up and get it done. You’re right though, Kell is clutch. Honestly, though, we don’t win that game last night without the play of both twins. They were excellent on D and on the boards, and hit some huge shots along the way. That was HUGE, especially with Searcy in foul trouble the whole game just about.

Your point about the twins was great.I love how they play and get the most out of what they can do.They have improved so much.Not just this yr but last we shut JG down.I remember he needed pts in garbage time at Oak Ridge last yr to have anything.I think Bright is their best player when I have seen them.Cant believe Lockard thought Truss could guard Kell.We are just so spoiled to have a basketball team that maximizes our potential every yr.We rarely ever lose in our district or to other local teams and think nothing about it.Hopefully we can get out of region and have a one game shot at going back to State again
