  1. Job #1, shut down Josh Jones.
  2. How has OR won 7 or 8 state titles if OR underachieves every year? How's that work?
  3. Hampton and Alcoa, both won state titles before classifications, 1960/1967 respectively. I think Alcoa would be considered 1 A back then anyway
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 2-0 is the SOP score when a team forfeits like Clinton forfeited.
  7. He and the freshman backup PG are darn good for kids. They keep gaining confidence, that's good depth for post season
  8. 2cd team players often did not show up at practice according to some players from this last season
  9. 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.
  10. By far the top run blocking OL I saw in 2023, not one else was close.
  11. Inevitable, I just hope it doesn't happen in my presence.
  12. That OL was awesome, IMO. I watched OR play Powell in BB a few weeks back, their QB is a big ole boy himself.
  13. OR fan here and I agree, Coach Short is one of the finest coaches in state history.
  14. 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.
  15. I bet Bearden's good again, they always are
  16. OR and SCHS had a fantastic game last year at Sevier. 2 good teams last year. I know OR has lots back and assume SCHS does
  17. You can attend AC or CHS and live in Oak Ridge if it's the Anderson County part.
  18. There are always 2-3 OR kids who play for CHS every year. It's pretty normal. That's been a thing for decades. BB and FB. I guess split families, etc. The ORHS AD is never going to say anything to anyone about them. Never has. Out of all of them, I've seen 1 I regret and it was Herbet Booker Sr who was a very good BB player. His son was fantastic for OR. I worked with Herbet's dad at the OR Hospital back in the early 70s. Another one that would not surprise me if he went to CHS is the big lineman that hurt his knee last season. That kid's dad has a kid that played for OR and 1 played for CHS last year is why I say this.
  19. Yea, shot clock favors OR with Aaron's style.
  20. I was surprised big Coop didn't play FB this year
  21. OR's BB team will be good. Maybe make it to state, maybe.
  22. He should have and he knows it. It is what it is, I give credit to CHS instead of hating on Coach Rang. It was their game and we need to give them credit. He likes FB more than BB. Likely plays both. Very heady QB and R's QB has talent, too. I watched the R vs J game and Jeff had a TE and WR that looked like they were 6'3" and could move. The WR can't catch it yet, but, he's just 7th or 8th grade.
  23. Small schools often barely can get enough players to field a team. OS was really good this season late, made it to the 4th round and they probably had 20 Max kids out there. Few years back, Oakdale could not field a team. Eventually, some of these single A schools are going to have to go to 7 man ball like Kansas and Iowa play in rural areas.
