Agree cooter, I heard it too. What a Jerk!!!!!! I think the defense we changed to hurt us this year also. Monroe should have stayed with the 4-3, 4-4 like we ran against DB last year. Better yet he should have let Davis handle the Defense like Gatewood did. Monroe seemed to have his hands full just calling plays. I do think it will get better. Great season Owls, Get in the weight room next season starts Monday.

I agree, I am very tired of hearing about how bad the secondary has played. The bottom line is we have not put pressure on anyones QB. Those DB's can't cover receivers for 10-15 seconds. If you give most QB's that kind of time we have been giving them someone will come open.

That's they way it should be, you should not be playing a region opponent for at least three weeks or more. I like their Baseball set-up better also. Everything best 2 out of 3, not one and done like in Tennessee.

I hate the travel associated with this region but I am glad we get to play top programs with tradition and good success. It has made Ooltewah football much better IMO. I do look for Friday's game to be a good one. Of course, I hope the Owls win. I don't expect anything less than a good hard fought game out of Farragut, they are a quality team. Unfortunately they got to play Oak Ridge after a shocking loss to Ooltewah. I think the Ads are a better team than they showed that night.

I don't understand the numbers: Wins & losses????

What about the Bears? Are they healthy? Can they slow Gulmire down because you cannot stop him?

I like your idea. I don't want to hear anything about travel, Ooltewah has had to go to Kingsport two years in a row, about 4 hours. Both years, it was unfortunate they have had to play each other in the first round. I still think your way would be better than the current format. I like the nuetral field part also, maybe for the first two rounds. Then have the higher seed teams host a third or fourth round game. Could you imagine the excitment a two day four game site at MTSU, Vandy, UTC, Austin Peay, TN Tech would generate. Tha would be awesome for the early rounds and could probably minimize travel.

Yes, Farragut has beaten the Owls twice since this region was re-aligned, last season and earlier this year. Both losses have really stuck in the crawl of the players on this team. I don't think they feel they have given their best effort in either of those games. I think they will get the "Monkey" off their back friday much like Peyton did last night. GO OWLS!

See ya Billy better luck next year!

After watching DB tonight, I agree not #2 or #3 but definately a top 10 team. Ooltewah now has beaten 3 top 5 team in 5A AP poll. I am not sure any other team has done that this year. Not that it means anything. Region 2 went 3-1 round 1, I say 2 Region 2 teams will play in the quarter finals in two weeks.

Nothing bad to say about DB! Class act, good hosts, great tradition, just not the best team tonight. Now we are even after last year.

Owls pass defense must improve! One thing that would help is some pressure on the QB. How about a Blitz or two?

Central, Gordon Lee, Walker Valley, Sweatwater, and McMinn Central were the JV's. Bradley, McMinn, Cleveland, Soddy were the freshman teams, I think. Cleveland was the best freshman team we played, McMinn was probably the second best freshman team we played. Cleveland's freshman team was really strong, I think they beat your freshman team also.

Yeah I am sure they remember Farragut, Blount, Oak Ridge etc. What's your point? Who does Soddy remember? Red Bank? McMinn? Farragut? Oak Ridge? Blount? As far as your last post, Dobbs is a good baseball player. He will probably play baseball at the next level. He has also shown that he probably would have had some choices other than baseball if he had played football before this season. JMO

I have seen plenty of coaches talk their way into getting something called. That is not right either. You and I both know you could make a call of some kind on every play. I don't like it when one team gets called for 2-3 penalties in a game and the other gets 10-12 or more. These are the games that seem to get everyones blood boiling.
