Job #1, shut down Josh Jones.

How has OR won 7 or 8 state titles if OR underachieves every year? How's that work?

Hampton and Alcoa, both won state titles before classifications, 1960/1967 respectively. I think Alcoa would be considered 1 A back then anyway

OR just played West and I was surprised they were the 4th seed in the region. Darn good team, They have everything, pure shooting, long, tall, athletic. Nothing not to like. It's the best combo length and athleticism I've seen since the mid 90s, Columbia Central had a team like that in the state.

Even though OR won by 15, that was a fantastic HS BB game. West is darn good. I'm not sure how we won by 15 looking back. We got way ahead in the first quarter, West just wasn't ready and then they went into the zone press the rest of the game and they got it down to 6. Then OR punched back and spread it back out. It was like a good heavy weight boxing match, both teams landed haymakers, OR landed 1 more. West is probably the 2cd best team that played OR, Fulton was the best.

2-0 is the SOP score when a team forfeits like Clinton forfeited.

He and the freshman backup PG are darn good for kids. They keep gaining confidence, that's good depth for post season

2cd team players often did not show up at practice according to some players from this last season

Mike loves Oak Ridge, always has and always will. I talked to him at halftime during a playoff game, I knew then Jeff wasn't gonna keep at it at HVA. He nor Mike had a clue about how Knox County is nothing but recruiting, they assumed it was high school football. Rude awakening.

By far the top run blocking OL I saw in 2023, not one else was close.

Mullins?

Inevitable, I just hope it doesn't happen in my presence.

That OL was awesome, IMO. I watched OR play Powell in BB a few weeks back, their QB is a big ole boy himself.

OR fan here and I agree, Coach Short is one of the finest coaches in state history.

Last night against Cleveland, you could see Shamar Green growing up, That kid shows 0 emotions ever, but, he made a couple of post moves that were very strong. He and Coop together are such a luxury. The 2cd team is fairly good as noted above. Gonna be a tough 2 games this weekend with AE then Hamilton Heights, the Canadian basketball factory in Tennessee.
