What you don't understand is that 95% (If not more) of the schools in TN are opened zoned so are they all semi private schools too?  You can take digs at OR if you have a problem with them but don't start dragging Alcoa, Maryville, or GreenEville in your drama.  Those programs have worked their tail off to get to where they are and weren't always on top.  Lifting program, same system since they started football, Work ethic, and community support will get you there.

Oh shut up Wesley swipes and quit telling me what to do it in my T account. Your BS stats are falling on deaf ears. What you are confusing for open zone is that 8th graders can basically go wherever they want if they can get to the school. School boards like let’s say Knox county require you to attend school he zone school based on address which is much more restricted across the state then your 95%

and I’m sure WB and HHS have different opinions of why those famed programs got so good. Hard work was present but some hard work is done by coaches and ADs at those schools. What they do at Alcoa has been NO secret for years

YB, seriously don't understand your obsession and jealousy with Oak Ridge football.  You talk about "rent free" good grief YB. Which Knoxville kids were "recruited" to Oak Ridge?  Hand picked?  Please!  I wish you could identify one of these hand picks for me, because I'm not aware of any.  We have a kid from Central that certainly did not want to leave Central but had to because of an unfortunate family matter.   You are correct about the fact that the game has changed, hence, the coaching change.  OR football has a lifetime lease rent free in your head.  Welcome to Clinton, I realize it must suck there, but c'mon man, concentrate on improving that mess over there.  And don't forget, even in our worst season in history, we hammered the sorry ole Dragoonz.  

Oh dear Cat, now you are calling kids goons? I’ve obviously hit a nerve. I just thought what is good for the goose is good for the gander.  It’s obvious name calling is a thing in OR.

Like I said king, there's no news.  If a guy leaves then I'm sure you will be the first to inform us, but until then.... If I were the king, I would be more worried about fixing my program than trying to stir up drama at Oak Ridge.   If my team had only 4 region titles in over 100 years of football, I would be concentrating on the dumpster fire that is Clinton football instead of spending all my time trying to get the scoop on Oak Ridge.  Same ole Clinton, YB.  Some things will never change.  What did your boy say, Sucks to suck?

Come on Cat, OR is a semi private school system with its own city schools that hand pick the athletes they want and send the ones they don’t to the other schools in Anderson County  and still struggle to win even after recruiting Knoxville kids to plays. Look at all the other schools around here with that set up and how much they win..Alcoa, Maryville, Greenville and then you all.. a lot has changed since ol grandpa leather helmet Gaddis played ball. I wonder if he will let us use his AARP card for a discount at large edwards next year?

I don't see the real issue.  If somebody doesn't want to play at Oak Ridge, then they can take a hike.  We have running backs.  If and when somebody leaves then you have some news.  But as of right now, there's no news.    In fact, what I'm hearing is that we are getting some dudes very soon, not losing them.  Not worried about the ones that don't want to be here.  Oak Ridge will continue to be successful with or without your "stud" running back and his daddy.

I guess the issue would be for guys who actually know the sport pretty well asking themselves why a RB like the one we are speaking about, would want to leave an offense that is easily 70 % run where he could EASILY rush for 1,000 yards next season, is a state qualifier in track does not want to stay at the prestigious OR?  Is it because his dad can't get a job on staff? or is it more that the culture is off?  We have seen what happens to Cummings when he gets to a team(cleveland) with athletes that he should win with and doesn't...

Last time he was in this situation he had a MLB that he had to spoon feed to make sure his defense could make a tackle... 

Study up OR cat...you come at the king, you best not miss

Ole man grandpa tube socks gaddis?  These personal attacks are petty.  You are better than this YB.  But Clinton has that affect on folks.  Hang in there YB, it only gets worse.  

Way to dodge the real issue cat….

you should be a politician 

Sounds like a stud RB may be hitting the transfer portal as his father calls it.  Ol man grandpa tube socks gaddis already texting around trying to see if they are going to other schools...smh 

Its sad that ol grandpa moth balls gaddis has to reach out to other coaches to see if his own athletes in his athletic department are leaving...

Is the showcase on Friday open to the public?  Asking for a friend...

I would say Old man Joe realized that since there was a ceremony in August of 21 in Oak Ridge with the governor on hand that a second honoring just weeks later wasn't necessary, especially since Clinton did it for a second time also in August.  Do you think that a third ceremony in a row in a matter of weeks was really necessary.   C'mon man.  And Old man Joe still managed to beat Clinton even in the season of the worst record in OR football history.  What was that your boy said?  Sucks to suck?  YB, don't start acting like those people.  

Fair enough OR cat. Fair enough

Sorry, his grammar is fine and you are a troll. You don't have a team? You must not be loyal to the high school you attended or are attending. Very sad either way. Also, you don't know STILLNUM1 so be careful who you call a little guy. You might be writing a check your #### can't cash.

Its called the Oak Ridge 85 and the Clinton 12.  Both groups were honored last August at Scarboro Community Center by Gov. Bill Lee.  

Willie, not all of us are scared of our shadow like you, and did you really use hashtags to blur out the word "butt"? 

And OR cat, that is true but both groups were only honored at one high school in the entire county so... I guess Old man Joe didn't see the need since he just wanted to get to the end of his final glorious season.

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

I will also say though that I believe the Clinton football team honored the Scarboro 85 at their game at last years historical reunion that brought out the likes of the Gov. Did OR?

Your grammar is a joke.  I don't have a team, I'm just a concerned citizen. I forgot that highlighting any bad things that happen in OR is "trolling". I'll leave you alone little guy.

Got the story.  Class history project about things that happened in the 60s  and a group of students chose segregation.  They illustrated segregation by  labeling 2 water fountains.  A picture was taken by another student and posted on Snapchat with no context which created some controversy which was immediately dealt with by the administration.  Anything to add YB?

Spot on with that. Just probably would have stayed away from that kind of project in the current climate these days.

Not all that strange. Clinton coaches do have first-hand knowledge of OR Schools.

Moooooooooo, moooooooooooo!  The Mighty Mavericks?  Please.  But that Davey boy is a sexy beast.  I keep hearing about a Davey Gilliam statue going up over there just outside of  The Papaw Stair barn they run out of.  lol

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

Nothing like watching the wildcats and dragons at each other while the Mavericks could beat both. 

The mavs coaching staff get their plays from PlayStation and wear letter jackets as grown men on the sidelines of games. Go back to the kiddie table and eat your mac and cheese

That's not dropping it YB, that's just another cheap shot.  Btw that pic was taken before the qb incident and would have been taken no matter what color the director is.  C'mon bruh!

Dropped

What would be your idea of "addressed appropriately"?  

Btw, Clinton players use that same slur directed at OR players throughout the game.  And anybody that has ever played in that game can tell you the same.  Is that the culture that is being taught at Clinton?  C'mon man.  

 

Okay, I'll drop it cat.  I mean, the head coach did get a picture with the director of the Boys and Girls club there in town so I'm sure it's all smoothed over.

For sure very unfortunate situation there,  over and done with, we've moved on.  

Side note:  that former OR qb you referred to will most likely have to get his 4th win over Clinton in a Karns uniform.

 

I'd try to move on fairly quick as well.  GCA probably will try to move on from yesterday as quickly as well.  Just wish more were concerned with why the leader of the program and may diehard fans wanted the kid to continue to be a part of the team.  Is that the OR culture we all never really get to see.  I was told people were mad at kids for outing the QB in the first place.  Its crazy how so often these things are just "moved on" from instead of addressed appropriately.  Maybe the coaches at Karns can teach him that. 

Nevermind, that already happened.

It's great to see Clinton fans excited about sports.I know it must be hard after all these years and no state championships for any sport in the school history.Do we have any gamblers on the T?If I gave you this 3 pick parlay for Clinton this year what would your pick be? Over/under 3.5 on Clinton cupcake wins,Clinton players tazed after game,really dumb things military man will say during season

What is the over-under on players from OR using racial slurs towards each other and the principal and school board having to remove them from the team instead of the head coach?

Welcome back Bonkers! Long time no posty.   Yep these OR threads are great.   We got it all. We have the critics of the program, we have the haters, we have the wanna be's, we have the know it all football experts, we have parent imposters with agendas,  we have imposters with multiple screen names, and it goes on and on.  Never a dull moment once the season gets going.  Should be another wild ride for Oak Ridge football fans and haters alike.  I can't wait. 

Gotta love football in east TN

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 hope Gaddis keeps doing his show next year or cummings picks it up so you have a place to get your football lingo fix and coaching tips.  It will only be a matter of time until Cummings is flipping the bird at his own student section as they chant "daddy Ball"! Ask halls...  

Side note: as good a coach as you sound like, I think coach duff may be looking for some assistants
