A very nice post from the Greatest of the Great Oak Ridge fans who truly appreciates everyone else’s efforts.

I agree Oak Ridge has many Great fans on CoachT. I hope one day to be one.

Just wanted to say thanks to the people who ran the tournament, the refs, scorers, players and coaches. FIRST CLASS!

I especially enjoyed the Live Stream. Another FIRST CLASS effort.

The Oak Ridge Lady Wildcats faced some very talented teams and the experience will only make them better.

Get some much needed rest OR! So proud of you. RWR!

Once again, thank you Greeneville.

Anybody else notice Greenville gets away with a lot, I mean a lot 

....I haven't watched Greeneville but I'm sure a lot of visitors feel this way. I have learned to ignore the refs and just support the Oak Ridge Lady Wildcats. They are just kids playing a kids game. Its not like they are OL and should be run down. LOL!

Oak Ridge faces Brentwood Academy Dec. 29

Wednesday at 4:30 PM EST, the Oak Ridge Lady Wildcats ( 5 - 6 ) will challenge the Upperman Lady Bees ( 11 - 1 ).

Powell has had a bullseye on there back since Lowe has been back....lol  they will be fine.  Losing a lot on D (and not just Nolen) Offense returns just about everyone. 

Will the younger Nolen brother still attend Powell?

       Tee Higgins news....a South Carolina newspaper listed Tee has the #18 Recruit to Clemson All-Time.

Still talk that Tee will switch to the #5 jersey next season. I have 2 #85s right now but will buy one more if he goes back to the traditional OR/Clemson #5.

The "future" could be "now." I think much of that depends on how well Coach Paige Redmon (she will always be known by her playing name here in this tournament) prepares them. My guess is that she will know her players after this road trip. Good Luck!

PS: I spoke at length with Coach Redmon's father a few years back at the Ladies Classic. What a proud and special man he was to talk with.

It sounds like you have a great time up there. I'm jealous. Coach Paige Redmond ( Taylor )'s daughter is junior Kannon Green. She is a heady player with a good short range jumper. Have a Great Christmas and enjoy the basketball.

Of course, we all want our teams to win. 

#1These kids had a great opportunity to travel to a distant place. 

#2 Living on the road will get them accustomed to hotel rooms, hasty meals, and 9am practices when the state tournament rolls around.

#3 This year's Ladies Classic in Greeneville will be an additional challenge with maybe a little bit of jet lag. I'm always looking forward to seeing Oak Ridge come to Greeneville. Some great players they have.

I think as you watch this OR team keep in mind the future these girls have to really appreciate the beauty of the basketball they play. In case you didn't know 4 of the players played together last season as 8th graders for Robertsville Oak Ridge Middle School. They won the Middle School State Championship last year and was second place in 2020.

Greeneville will be a challenge but they should learn a lot.

Thank you for the kind words you have written about the Lady Wildcats      RWR!

Mesa defeated Oak Ridge.

This afternoon, Oak Ridge will take on St. Anthony Saints from Long Beach, CA. 

So far in Phoenix, the Saints have :

Saints   32       La Salle Prep   45

Saints   47       Pinnacle,  AZ   41

Saints   50       Mount Miguel, CA   68

Oak Ridge lost today to go 1 - 4 at the Nike Tournament of Champions. OR will need to be more steady at the Greene County Classic after Christmas.

The Lady Wildcats have a bright future ahead of them.

Oak Ridge has done well in the Loudon Christmas Tournament. They have wins over Lakeway Christian and Concord Christian. I wanted to post this so I could mention Lucas Searcy poured in 28 points today including 4 3-balls in the fourth quarter.

I believe the Wildcats are now 9 - 1. They next play at CPA on Dec.28 in a tough tournament against Louisville Male, KY,

Good luck Wildcats  RWR!

That is not what I was saying or implying.  You are wrong. Don’t push.

I am okay with what you say here and I will cautiously "apologize" for my possible  misunderstanding. I won't push it. You are just lucky you are a Wildcat fan and we need to get along for the sake of the other OR CoachT posters. 

Sorry.   RWR!

No one mentioned laying hands, butt kicking or violence. Please stop exaggerating.

Just like your type to lie by attributing false words to someone else to enhance your agenda.

Oh come on homie, you know what you were saying and I called your bluff. You have lost it. Your ego has been running your mouth too long on here. It really isn't fun dealing with you. You now have invoked God into the conversation so I will respect that and just enjoy the reason for the season. Buh bye....homie, LOL!

Oh you’re invited. Call my homies liars or not loyal to the Cats again and you may not be welcome to stay.
 

Speaking of opinions, is everyone entitled to theirs? It is you who calls out others for having one. Some think the line play was pathetic. Just their opinion.

Thank you for the invite sir.I know how to behave in social settings so you can expect me to act correctly. No need for the homies laying hands on me.  Of course everybody can have an opinion. If that opinion is our OL play was pathetic then I'm going to disagree even if it gets my butt kicked. It is such a shame you brought violence into the debate.

It depends on what you’re bringing? Jack or wine cooler’s? Zima or Old Milwaukees Best? Chips and salsa or Grey Poupon?

This is why I like SS so much. He can speak his mind in no uncertain terms then turn around and be entertaining.

Merry Christmas Nole and Sweet.

WOW. You two are something.

So, I can't come to your Tailgate Party. I'll live. You don't like me having an opinion of my own. I'll live. 

You two don't like  my opinions then state yours. It is not rocket science. It is CoachT. Have fun and don't worry about what people think about you. I sure don't,

RWR! 

Tweeter Update... Brian Kelley continues to post impressive workout lifts. I hope all the Wildcats are being inspired to be the best they can be. This is going to be a great season to get behind all the players.

I was told by Coach Gaddis today, that the weight room and workouts were required. He and Jeff Minor were the ones coaching the workouts. He was upset that this rumor was going around and asked me to put this on CoachT.

WILDCAT PRIDE

Would the people who put the lies about a complete lack of a mandatory Weight Program at Oak Ridge like to explain themselves?  Probably not. It is much easier to call the kids pathetic, weak and the worst OL in East Tennessee then say SORRY.

Heck, you went as far as to call people creepy around children without any truth behind it. 

For once and for all...it is not OK to insult kids then say all you are doing is making sure they are held up to standards NFL players couldn't meet. 

Yes, I want OR to win every game but that ain't gonna happen. Also, no second is not the first loser. I competed in games and finished last but I am not a loser. My Parents taught me that.

There was a lot of stuff going around everything concerning the OL and DL the last two seasons. Too bad Coach Gaddis waa brought into it on CoachT. 

The good thing is the new Coach has been made aware of this problem and he will make sure the Weight Program is closely monitored by himself.

Plus, we have some good looking linemen in the pipeline coming up. I predict the days of weak OL is just about over.
