Do we know who the 1st round opponent is?

I didnt say Josh and his staff were horrible...I have great respect for him and his staff. I just would pick Rang between the 2 head to head and if I had to pick a guy to coach my team between the 2.

Cant go wrong with either. Look no further than what he has done with Bearden these last couple years.

Josh is a good coach, no question, IMO. Where I think Rang is a little better is the guy is a thinker like Heupel. 

OR needs more S&C work to be able to contend with these real strong teams.

Honestly i think Heritage beats Central this week for the 4th spot in playoffs.

If they do, that's a real success story for Coach Osovet.

Bearden had a bunch of Big Ole Linemen and they sorta pushed our guys around a bunch. Overall thought we had a good game. We just scored too quickly on our last touchdown. haha if that's possible. think we gave Bearden all they wanted.  

WILDCAT PRIDE

Yea, wish we could have had that bomb with no time left for Bearden to come back!

I haven't seen Bradley outside of 1 half of ball. Bearden will be a hard out for anyone, including Bradley, Oakland, Maryville or anyone else. Deep, talented, well coached.

Dozier 22 carries for 132. Not bad at all, my friend. He just didn’t have any real long runs, but that’s a really good night against that D. Nobody has ran on them much all year. We ran blocked really well in the 2nd half I thought.

Derek made some adjustments at halftime. Helped the run and pass game and the D, but, Bearden's OL just flat wore our DL down to a frazzle late. Still, fun game against a real good team, I ain't too sad about it.

OR passed the ball very well tonight, but had a hard time running on that Bearden defense 

Tough well coached crew. Bearden is so deep, they just keep sending in these fast kids. Coach Gaddis told me pre season that Josh thinks they can win the state next season. They'll be a hard out for anyone, IMO.

OR got tired. Beaden wore them down which many expected.

Bearden 33 OR 26 1 minute 22 left

Bearden's OL is just stronger than OR's DL. They're a better team. It was a really good HS ballgame with few penalties and I wish OR had won, but, I'm pleased with our effort. Hat's off to the mighty Bulldogs of Bearden.

Bearden has the beast on the line. But OR seams to be rolling along pretty good. That's a lot of points for Bearden. I think Bearden can take the game but this being in OR they will be ready. I think this will be a good close game especially if OR can pass it well. A good chance to see what kind of defense and offence OR has at this point against a Beast in Bearden. 

Heard Austin Price say he thinks Bearden's secondary will win them this game, so we'll see. He picked FHS to beat us last Friday, he ain't perfect.

good out of region matchup. no one talks like the wildcats. we are banged up pretty good but i think we still get it done. they had chances to beat us last year and should have but not this year. bearden 35 wildkittens 21

Kinda what I'm thinking. Hope you're wrong though!

Gonna go with AHS also, close game.

Gonna go with the tribe in a close one

I'm gonna say Bradley by 10

Kind of showing your lack of football management knowledge a bit aren’t you? What’s more valuable for the team, a JV game against OR or having the day for a full practice for the upcoming game on Thursday? Inquiring minds would like to know? 

I never saw a HC coach  JV game myself. Everyone but CHS wants to play these games. Maybe Coach Keith is smarter than all other coaches in the Knoxville area?

Yea, I think OR gets a win , too. Like SS above, I hope we get lots of young kids PT.

I can't believe Clinton has cancelled the JV/FR game again.Really sad

He's doing his own program a dis service refusing to play the JV game.  

I haven't seen AC yet.

I know you can't do this, but, Powell is a common rival for AC and OR and  I just watched us play CHS.    I think it will be a close, close game. 

Maybe 30-26. I just don't have a feel for which one. Good luck to both teams.

I ask Coach Joe how many miles he walked last night and he showed me his watch he paced 27,000 steps or about 13 miles!

My son commented on that pre game, "Joe's already pacing, 20 to the 20 pre game"

Dozier is amazing, but OR needs to find someone else to help him or he's gonna be too banged up for the playoffs. 

Congratulations to OR! Great game to watch as a highschool football fan!

Yep. The 2cd team TB is a smaller sophomore. I just don't think he could handle serious PT except against weak teams.

I'm afraid you're right on Dozier getting banged up will take it's toll.

He reminded me a lot of Todd Helton when he was at Central. I watched OR play them 3 times when he was at Central-our guys are still trying to sack him. Both elusive as could be.

That's funny. I can still see Gene Davis grasping at air cause Helton wasn't there anymore. That kid from CHS is like that, not as good a passer as Todd.

I would have to think that the coach at ooltewah would be gone at the end of the season. I’ve never seen a ooltewah team this bad. Just awful. 

No kidding, they were a tough out back just a few years back.

Well I am still upset it wasn't 35-14 what I predicted. Because that would have made me feel more comfortable next week. Lol. It actually could have been too. So we will see if AC contains Keith. Again this style of offence with Clinton is good and IMO alot like Pearl Cohen so the Mavs better be ready. I am definitely not predicting. 

IF CHS doesn't get the pick 6 and the fumble run back for a TD, it would have been 34 - 12. That's pretty darn good guessing of you, IMO. I guessed 24-21 OR.

No sweet I actually missed most of 1st half. So I literally am shooting from the hip... Lol. If the young OR QB gets better and he will OR will go deep in playoffs. I just didn't see the DL containment of the QB as I assumed would happen I was actually disappointed and possible concerned for AC. Now I only said possibly lol

We've faced that kid 4 times and he has always given OR fits. He's just so darn quick. If we blitz we miss and then an open pass is there, if we don't he's a pretty good pure QB. OR's DL played fairly well, CHS couldn't run well at all and we sorta contained Keith(sorta). 

 I'm an OR guy so it was frustrating to watch. First play, we fumble and CHS goes about 65 yards TD! Tons of holding penalties, then seconds left in the half OR is up I think 17-12 and we get a 90 yard pick six against us! Pretty stupid play there.

 It was a good game because both teams were hitting hard. CHS has a whole lot of athletic talent. OR does, too. 

 I talked to Joe after the game and he was thrilled going out on a win.

 I'll predict Maryville 44- HV 7.

He may have spent a lot of time there growing up, but from my understanding he was an OR kid originally. Whitt is a pretty prominent name in the black community in OR, I went to school with 3 or 4. Demaurea Whitt, who played for Clinton a few years ago was another Whitt from OR.

I'm almost positive Scott's biological father is Johnny Golden of OR.
