Don't think the younger brother is back at Oak Ridge. His Dad coached at Clinton this year, thus he could go there, think he's a senior so he won't be coming back to OR.  Jai the older brother is at a one of the military academy's. They both came from West originally.

Not talking about them but another player that played at Oak Ridge last yr and was celebrated when cleared to play at Clinton.Somehow left Clinton after few games and is back in school at Oak Ridge.

So how does a kid that played at OR last yr get cleared to play at Clinton this yr but somehow is back at Oak Ridge now.Must of been a lot of moving on the family in a short amount of time

i'm not sure if too many kids are going to sign up to play there with what little is left of the roster.  The grass in Clinton will not be greener in 2024, it will be brown.  No offence 92, but man what a rebuild job for somebody.  I predict Keith hangs it up at Clinton.  

Yea his best recruiter is gone.What would make a kid want to join up now.4 yr rebuild culminated into a couple of playoff wins in a down yr in 5a.Still finished  with a losing record and all the problems from the season.The talk was 2 of the only guys that would be returning that played are transferring again.I know Lt.Flip flops accomplished his ultimate goal of beating Oak Ridge but reality is about to smack them in the face again.

That would be heartbreaking. I don't see it happening but I do think OR knows what to expect from Clinton so this might be a runaway win for OR. If Clinton does win the head coach he is probably guaranteed a contract. And he would deserve it. 

My worry is not Clinton but Oak Ridge.For some reason people think we are a lot better than we are.We have some great moments but have some real weaknesses.Lets just hope Dozier can pull it out.Turnovers will be the difference tonight.Go Cats

I'm gonna set that over/under number of Clinton coaches fighting each other post game at 4 1/2.

Good number but I'm leaning toward the over

I still say that there is an all out brawl at some point before during and/or after this one.  Whichever team plays in round 2 will be missing some guys.   

If Clinton loses what is over/under on number of Clinton coaches fighting with each other 

I wonder how many players sit tonight with 1 seed locked up

That would never be done. Too far for bus routes. They talked about doing this in Roane Co. Combining Rockwood, Harriman, & Kingston which makes more sense than AC and Clinton and it still did not happen due to bussing issues. 

Just ask coach Keith he knows how to bus them around from all over

OR wins this one easy as long as they don't throw the ball too much. New HC likes to throw it too much when he has a top RB in 22. If QB throws it too much he throws INTs and LC will play ball control and make it be a closer game than it should be.

I love 22 but he has carried the ball an awful lot.Some complain too much.Rang is a great coach and I think he knows to win the big games that matter at Oak Ridge we will have to be able to throw in some big games.I really liked how he called the game last week.But I agree we can't let LC get the lead and start milking clock.

Hopefully Oak Ridge can get some of these LBs back for playoffs.For sure one of our weaknesses coming into yr and couldn't afford any losses.Love how much coach Rang has got out of this group and we get better every week.Playoffs could be really fun

Wow the Cats just put on a clinic.What a win.The young sophomore QB is just getting better and better.Gonna be a star before he leaves.And Dozier does it again.Unreal job by the defense.Complete domination

Sitting here waiting for the game to start and can't wait to finally be home next week.Small crowd over here so far.Dont feel good about tonight but hoping we can stay in the game till the end.For some reason lately we just never matchup or play good vs the Ads.Go Cats

if keith is out could be a long night for the dragons. If they just got him some protection in the pocket that team is on fire. 

why doesn't clinton fans like the coaching staff??

On fire?Maybe a dumpster fire

Really?  Have you watched them play?  This can't be a real question.  

92 is the only Clinton fan that might answer this honestly, he already got the phone call.  

17-30 over last 5 seasons might have something to do with it.  

Not to mention all the off the field stuff and awful culture

Heyward, Mitchell, who else is out?

I couldnt tell from where I was at.But I only remember seeing 2 or 3 guys out all year.Last night I seen at least 6 to 8 not dressed.People at game said some guys was sick so hopefully back soon.It was good to see the passing game look good even without Heyward

Anyone know why all these guys are not playing for Oak Ridge.7-0 after 1qtr

Maryville, OR, Jeff Co, and now AC.

Dang that's crazy 

The basement boys have been a complete bust.Time to pull the plug and send them home. Actual Clinton kids could do just as good.

Yep, pretty sure it is. He’s played at about every HS in East Tennessee since he was a freshman it seems like.

Crazy.I thought I remembered him playing freshman/JV

Is that the Xavien James that started at Oak Ridge that plays for AC?

I hope we can take care of business and start fast.Our offense has not been near as good in 1st half of games.Too many turnovers vs Karns and Clinton in 1st half.Did nothing vs Powell and McMinn in 1st half either.I just hope everyone is healthy enough to go tonight.RWR
