Playing the Bobcats a little better than in regular season. Had that "ref thing" in the 3rd quarter of that first game helped get things rolling though.

Was also the year we finished 10-0 regular season wasn't it?

never seen so many personal foul calls. Think it’s 4 against OS now.

Pretty sure there is a HS soccer game Thursday night.

4 guys that could contribute not playing tonight. I really hope it's the flu or something and not grades!

We must have been sitting close to each other then. Like going in at the half with 3 to's left despite having about 27 seconds and the ball. I've thought all season the defense has progressed ALL season, but the offense has just kinda "done enough" without having a solid base. Coach Gaddis said about the same thing post-game last night. I know I'm not the only one who questions the play calling - often times. It was a fantastic season, and I think without a doubt we could beat that Catholic team. Just not to be last night. The kicker had a "hip flexor" thing going on I heard from another parent. And for what it's worth I've had 2 tuition students since Linden and neither plays any ball. We chose Oak Ridge schools for the OTHER reasons!

The game is in Oak Ridge.

Yeah at the Kent State game I looked at my daughter and said "Tee is playing special teams??!!" the season ticket holder sitting behind us was nice enough to explain Clemson has offense and defense numbers. Who knew? When he found out we knew Tee he became the second person that day to call him a "super star"! They really like him down there. Agree The play calling thing goes back a few seasons, and I sure won't try to play coach, but - nevermind Agree

Agree for sure, and will go ahead and call out one of the big men. 58 Adarius Cox. Heard his name at least a half dozen times in the first half.

I'm not tryin to get in on whatever you and the others have going on. But, finishing 9th or 10th with an 11.1 at a meet with I think 55 runners is NOT running poorly. Around 44 schools and 1400 athletes, it's a good meet to go to. Like I said the winner there (10.87) ran an 11.39 Saturday. I think JG will run in the 10's this season. I also think AE has some of the fastest runners I've seen. Their 4x100 is something to watch.

Check this out balla, you can quote and post at the same time! Try it this way.

Forget milesplit. Go to the meets and watch these guys. JG is fast. 11.1 in the 100 is good. He happened to run an 11.3 or 5 at HVA. The winner at HVA (Webb wunderkid) ran 10.87 that day and won. At OR Saturday he ran an 11.39 and got 4th. You don't run faster at every meet contrary to what you may believe. Your "expectations aren't as high....after these track results"??? It was the first track meet we had! Lighten up Francis, and don't always act the the sky is falling. While at HVA and talking with the McMinn Central coach he was looking forward to his 4x100 team getting "checked". He said his guys thought they were the fastest things around, and today was the day they found out otherwise. He said they needed to learn this before they could get faster. You've essentially equated JG getting 9th at the first meet and the results you read on milesplit with a 1-9 football season. You're reaching, and you need to get out more.

Shout out for sure to Levert. Better have your hands up playing with him! Some of those passes are QUICK. While we're "shouting out" I'm gonna say Herb Booker off the bench was on fire. Looking forward to the DC game. RWR

or stop by and watch track practice one day this week.

Maybe look for that this season I hear.

Jordan long jumps.

It was a good meet. They have some real talent and Etheridge is a great coach. Unfortunately I didn't see Tre, but yes on Graham and Pendergrass. As a matter of fact Graham showed off in the 100 and the 4x100. You know how fast he is in pads. You should see him without and in spikes! Shirts look great in either Cardinal or Gray, and were only 15 dollars. They may have some left for the first meet. 3/26- Hardin Valley Invitational @HVA 4/2- Ben Martin Invitational @ ORHS 4/5- Battle of the Bridge @ ORHS 4/7- Middle School 4/14- Middle School 4/19- Catholic, Farragut, Maryville @ORHS 4/22- @ ACHS 4/25,26@ TSSAA Section 1 @ Morristown 4/29,30@ Louisville, KY 5/6 Wildcat Relays @ORHS 5/14 TSSAA @ Johnson City 5/25-27 TSSAA State@ Murfreesboro

Keep in mind that the first class arena/school we played in last night was voted on and built by the citizens of Oak Ridge. It was what the majority of the public wanted for their children, and was around 60 million for the renovation. (for sure no chicken feed there) That just happens to be a benefit of not falling into a county system. I understand your point though.

Since you brought it up I'll mention the Cardinal and Gray first meet tomorrow! Show up and by a t-shirt from the team.

What a game! A fan from another school came to watch as his team's season is over, and said that might have been one of the best games he has seen. Even said the bonus "cheerleader battle" was awesome, and something he hadn't counted on. (We won that!) DC played really well in a tough arena. Weren't we up by 10 twice? Pretty much agree on most things already said, but have to ask a question. Why no shot clock in HS basketball? Would that not increase the action tremendously?

bounder you said that so much better now than I was able to during the season. It was all the to the end before I came to grip with the fact that we really WEREN"T going to utilize a 2 QB offense. blazer neither am I, but me too. With 14 and 17 both graduating is 2 the man this year? Who after that?

Finally! thanks for trying to get the train back on the tracks. In addition to what you mentioned I hope this is the year we get to see Tre J stay healthy. I think he can have an immediate impact. And back a couple pages. Nail on the head with TN getting 5 receivers this year. Tee tweeted as much on signing day. I'm sure he's gonna do what's right for him, and not look back.

Better not listen to me. Just got another text saying boys play, girls don't?

Yep

You've danced around anything anybody has said relating to a problem at that school. Just in this thread there have been multiple articles about this place. I had no idea. Sure it's a hard pill to swallow, but it seems obvious there have been some heads in the sand down there. And you don't have to make two posts to quote somebody.
