steve wright broke his fibula, i think? i dont know but its not his ankle. talked to him today and he'll be back in 6 weeks

Well...let's see...basketball. Last year Oakland was picked to finish 5th and the talented Siegel was picked to win. Hmmm...we all know how thst went. And, yes, I absolutely can't wait for baseball to get here. Longgone...seriously...you have some issues to deal with. I'm available for counseling and maybe we can get you to put a positive attitude out there. Otherwise, I don't see a bright future.

What's with all the incorrect noun/verb agreement and misplaced pronouns? Are you trying to caricature Oakland supporters with your poor attempt at humor? All it does is cement the fact that Siegelites think they're the "educated" ones, and that Oakland isn't. Your comment about Dejarnette is ridiculous...it doesn't warrant a response. Here's my take on Siegel: I moved into this community 7 years ago...about the time Siegel was opened. I was totally aloof regarding what was going on when the school opened...principal left the school, took faculty with him, band director took instruments, and so on. I really didn't know what it all meant because I wasn't familiar with the schools here. What I learned quickly, though, was that people thought Siegel would be a place where everything was new, and that everything would be great regarding athletics and academics. However, when Oakland acquired the IB program, we "one-upped" Siegel and had something that we could be proud of. Then, throw in some football victories (a state championship), several basketball victories (a district 7AAA title), and the best baseball program in District 7AAA, and you quickly get a legitimate school that survived the "rape" that occured when the school board opened Siegel. Siegel people didn't like that the school they'd left was now more successful than the school they'd stood in line for so long to register for (even if it meant getting a utility bill from the Paddock Club across the street). So, yes, Oakland is proud that it survived and has exceeded expectations. So, when your kids make a t-shirt that says our kids are a joke, I have to take issue (especially when I'm aware of some of the extracurricular activities that the t-shirt inventor has taken part in). What do immature HS kids do when they're verbally attacked like that...they respond in like fashion. Doesn't make it right, but someone HAS to stop it on their end. I'll do my part...what about you?

Sounds to me like you're chapped! Baby powder will fix that for ya! Your pompous, entitled attitude is why people in this town dislike Siegel so much. Oakland has healthy competition against the other schools in this county because it's friendly NONPERSONAL jabbing. But your Siegel children act like they're entitled and immune to do whatever they want to do. If you think the t-shirts aren't classless, then I can't wait to hear your reaction to the ones Oakland will create in response. The only difference is, ours won't list individuals...your kids have no sense of where the line is drawn. And, by the way, no one asked permission to use those names, either. Could get interesting. By the way, as I write this, Oakland is beating the crap out of your kid's team. Siegel's football team is really, really bad.

You're postings have been quite amusing Longgone. Apparently, the baby powder incident was just too much for you to handle. I thought it was priceless, and so what if it got on the floor. Clean it up and move on. From what I'm hearing right now, there's going to be a pretty classless t-shirt appearing tomorrow night at the football game...a poor attempt at humor from some Siegel students that may, in the end, have them crying instead of laughing. Oakland 49 - Siegel 0

Oakland beat bearden tonight 8-2

So what your saying is that their poorly coach yet wins the Arby's Classic. Then destroys everybody in Regionals and even Sectionals then makes it to state. If thats poorly coached. I want to see a team thats good coached. Talking about the #1 team in the nation and could beat almost every team in college and possibly the NBA. siegel didnt win the arby's classic.

wanna know why siegel has made it to state? they have more athleticism than any team they played so far. in region they were bigger, faster, and stronger than BOTH teams they played. the ooltewah team they played in substate looked like a jv team compared to them. and im not knocking ooltewah. siegel is that athletic. they should have lost 1 maybe 2 games this year.i want the one team from the boro to win. but when they're matched up with a team thats as athletic, or in melrose's case more athletic. no chance. say im knocking them i dont care. go to the game tomorrow and tell me who was right.

i'm not even a melrose fan, but siegel wont compete. how do you expect a siegel team that had trouble in their own district to beat a team from memphis. oakland was far less talented and beat them not once. not twice. three times. maybe if they had some good coaching they could play with the big boys. all its gonna take is melrose to get a lead and siegel will crack. dont play as a team. hammonds is soft. gooch is awful with the ball. williams is 6'9 but plays like he's 6'5. im a boro guy would love to see a rutherford co. team win. sorry siegel. melrose by 20+

zach curtis is who i was talking about. sorry i guess my source was wrong

Oakland scrimmaged Hendersonville last saturday. first game oakland won 9-1. cant remember the score of the second game but it was one or two runs either way. hendersonville has a good lefty that signed with mtsu.

Farragut doesnt have a big field either buddy. 320 in right center and 310 down the lines? hate to pitch against guys like delmonico on a field that small.

Yeah Robbie Ray is 2010 and Toscano is 2011

i Where do Moore, Hull, and Coley play. I know all the rest and they are are very good players. Moore - Oakland, pitcher/1B/OF. Pitched in District games last year as Soph Hull - Oakland, OF/2B. Good 2 strike hitter. Coley - Siegel, Pitcher. Deceptive. Not all are D1 - you can be the judge but all should play some sort of college ball somewhere. They usually play late summer and fall together as most are tied down to their school teams in the summer. Bummer! I'd say at least 10 of those kids will play D1 ball. I know some of them are getting looks from big time schools
