The Clinton coaches putting #8 inside the box may be the adjustment of the year and the difference in the make up of post season seeds in region 3-5A. That was a great decision 

What took so long.I couldn't figure out why he wasn't at ILB the whole time

Beardon big tonight 

Really good win.Very impressed with coaching staff.Dozier was ,is and will always be the man.Didnt think we would win this one but loved being wrong.Things could get fun if the offense gets better every week

Oak Ridge has some key SRs but overall really young and inexperienced.I would feel  better about our chances later in the year but right now I think Powell might be better. I need to see the Oak Ridge line be able to block a decent team before I have any confidence in the offense.Hoping for the best.RWR

Everyone knows this is what has been going on.  There are coaches on that staff that have leaked it out.  They have told others that "it's gotten out of hand" and "they will be leaving after this year" because of it.  There are photos circulating of kids leaving his house in the morning and going back to his house in the evening.  There are photos circulating of Coach Flip Flops taking them to and from school... to and from workouts... all time stamped and dated.  It's just a matter of time.  If I'm him, I resign now.  Just let everyone know this is it after this season I'm out.  If he does that...he can avoid the embarrassment that is coming.  And it IS coming.

I've seen the photos of the van going around.Crazy

It's comical all the people on here that think they have everything figured out lol.  Must be nice to know everything! Never have understood the hate towards Clinton. They haven't won many games over the last 25 years, yet their fans still show year after year. In my opinion it is one of the best small town game day presentations around. Great place to watch a game where everybody knows somebody.

People hate cheating.People hate watching kids being bused from all over to play and take spots from actually Clinton kids.You mentioned all the losing at Clinton so how would you explain kids coming from all over to play for a traditionally bad team.You can understand a few kids wanting to go play for big time programs or coaches but Clinton has neither.But somehow Clinton has acquired lots of players.Not to mention the toxic culture.Flipping birds in pics and putting on social media.The personal fouls and ejections and on and on.Clinton has done more than enough past couple of years to earn the rep they currently have

I saw one of the Clinton coaches with a whole van load of players driving down Clinton hwy back towards Knoxville.

are these foster kids?

Not sure about foster kids but he 100% drives a big white church like van.They say a bunch of them live with him and pile in van and go to school.Ive seen the pics that was going around of him and van full of players

Can't believe it's game week.One thing is for sure and that is Dozier will have big year if we can block for him.Also think B Hey has a lot to prove his SR yr.Look forward to VN coming off the edge.Great kid and should have big year.RWR

Congrats to the District Tournament Champs!  What a performance being 3 starters down.  One of the best wins of Coach Taylor's career.  According to David Clary, this was our 30th District Title in the modern basketball era.  On to Region! 

Amazing job coaching and by the team to pull of big win with so many out.Bella and others stepped up big.Zay is just so good

Now we're picking a coach and still don't know what the other one did to to make them mad enough to let him go and all the way to page 18. My goodness.

I really think because they had no real reason to get rid of him.We have all heard about a few whiney parents mad about language but it seems they just wanted an excuse to get rid of him.In the paper he says they wasn't happy with the direction of the program.And that he had no warning that anything was wrong.Which lines up with things I heard since he was hired that a few people didn't like his attitude.That Gaddis would've hired someone else.It just seems so ridiculous that you didn't like the direction of the program when it was going the right way after the current AD had it going the wrong way.Smh

I do hope in the next coaching search that if they appoint a committee to interview and recommend a new coach that it will be a valid exercise and not a facade where the administration is going to pick the coach and had already picked him and the committee is just a show.  Also, the next coach needs the absolute support of the administration from day one to get this program back on its feet. I’m not sure the OR admin is all in on that. 

I do wonder if the issues the admin had with Coach Cummings were adequately communicated to him as they happened and he was given changes he could make real time. His firing seems to be rather quick and vague in cause.  
 

Anyway I wish him luck in finding a new job and strongly urge the admin get it right this time and stand behind the football program.

That's just one of many things about this that makes me mad.It really seems like a few people wanted him gone and never approached him about his language being an issue.They wanted to build a case and get rid of him.I will wait for 100% confirmation but seems like a few people need to be called out.It just blows my mind that your AD coached for 48 yrs and knows how crazy parents are and knows you can never make everyone happy.That he didn't have Scott's back and sounds like did nothing to help Scott keep his job.

This is BS.Hate it for Scott and our program.A few people I really want to blast but will wait it out.

What a win.Big time performance from the young Wildcats 

Lady Wildcats played great tonight and the 3 to win it was in and out at the buzzar.The refs killed us with couple of awful calls late but still proud of the girls improvement.Coach Taylor also called 2 great plays late to give us a shot.Big ups to Zay for battling so hard.She is playing great.The Lady Wildcats still really young are only getting better

Oak Rdge took down Powell tonight 67 - 53. If I heard correctly, the Wildcats graduated their Top 7 players from last year but Coach Green has them playing stellar underfeated  basketball so far.

Coach Green is the best.He lost his top 4 or 5 the yr before that.They will have to play great tonight to get a win but I feel confident he will have them on a different level by end of year.This team has a lot of room to grow and will only get better 

West by 28

Defense and run game travels.West by double digits unless that Page QB from last yr is back

Too early for me to start in on Clinton next year.  My advice is useless of course, but I would caution Clinton fans to pump the brakes a bit on the "deep playoff run" talk.  Last year all the talk in Clinton was about how they were going to destroy OR and contend for a state championship.  This year maybe the goal should be first, just make the playoffs, and if they do make it into the playoffs, from that point  just take it 1 week at a time.  

Give them a break.Its hard to stay on top once you get there

I agree, too

Congrats MIF.A true fan

Proud of how the Wildcats never quit all year.We didn't play good last night but it was more about how good Powell played.Potts was money and the offense was clicking.Thank you SRs.Really going to miss Kelly and Jai.BK has had a great career andI hope him and Jai rubbed off on the younger guys.Lets get in weight room and go get it next yr.I think we see a big improvement next yr which should be fun.On to Bball and Go Cats

Would love to hear that. Where can I watch and laugh?

Lol they have a show every Friday night. The host said this either last week or the week before.Go to bbbtv12.com and look for Friday night scoreboard. You can even hear the Anderson county head coach call in and talk a little about Greenville after the Elizabethton game .One of the host went and watched Greenville versus Fulton and seemed to think Greenville was going to be way over matched tonight
