You sayin it should be a good game?

SC is better than any team OR has played so far. (Minus Farragut) OR picks up loss #2 this week.

I was there Friday. They didn't appear to be on their game that's for sure.

This one will be over before halftime. ADs by 35+

Oak Ridge by a lot.

This game has come down to the wire the past couple of years with CC coming out on top. I say the Dragons get back on track and pull out a close one. 42-35

Clinton 45-14 with a running clock in the 3rd.

The Karns ejections will sure help the Dragons out in this one.

I've been reading this since Friday night. I was at this game. It looked to me like the Clinton D had a lot to do with OR's ineptitude on offense. You guys aren't giving credit where it's due. It looked to me that Clinton had a good defensive gameplan against the offense and executed it pretty well in my opinion.

The forecast is calling for rain. If so, who does that effect more?

I think this one will be closer than everybody thinks.

How'd the scrimmage vs Bearden go?

I'm glad someone finally started this thread! I'm gonna say: Oak Ridge Clinton Farragut Campbell Co. Lenoir City Karns Heritage is not in this district dragnfan. But, 2-5 are definitely interchangeable, with any of those teams capable of finishing anywhere from 2nd-5th. Don't be surprised if there are a few upsets this year. This district seems to be pretty equal and competitive on paper.

Well I heard that the Dragon looked pretty good against Cleveland. The person I spoke with said they didn't keep score or anything, just did some situational stuff. They said the Dragons got a few big plays. Cleveland also got a couple.

How did Clinton do against Cleveland last night?

Sounds like the Cats are up to their old ways again. Good for them. It's always better in East TN when Oak Ridge is good. This district has the makings of being very competitive this year. Should make for some exciting football this fall!!!!!

Offenses have come a long way. If you look at some of the best offenses in college, they are a mash up of several old school offenses. Take Oregon for example. You have the modern zone read, veer principles, midline principles, wing-t principles (buck sweep), and power run game principles (I formation, etc.). You add that with an effective screen game and vertical and horizontal passing game, run at a break neck pace...and my gosh you got a defensive coordinators worst nightmare! But if you step back and look at it, it's relatively simple. It's just repped and practiced until it's executed perfectly and when it is...it's a thing of beauty!!

I would say that Thackerson is a lower D1 guy. His height does hurt him some but just being a "player" can make up for that. You never know how things work out...he could end up at somewhere big. It would be good to get to see him go somewhere. He is a special talent.

Sounds good. Thanks

Guess so. If you find out for sure...post it if you don't mind.

I just saw in another thread that that scrimmage is on the 7th which is a Thursday. Which is correct? That date was posted by a Cleveland fan.

When is their Spring practice?

Well that should work out good for them then. At least they won't be having to learn something totally new.

Did Clinton ever get it's coaching staff lined out after Ellison departed for Powell?
