How do you all feel Sharpe did?

Did the kicking game look good?  ORHS Class of 1982 Mike Kelley is coaching the kickers now. He replaces the Legendary Coach Saunders.

RWR!  For. The. Ridge.

I thought Sharpe was fine. He'll improve over time. The 1 throw into the EZ early to Elijah was beautiful.

Until OR plays a decent team, we really won't know a lot except as CJ pointed out it's obvious some of OR's elements are improved, i.e. OL blocking and the kick game looks fine. We already knew we had athletes, we always do.

I'm asking this to the OR fans close to the program...   Does having such a rich football history really matter now?     OR has won or been in several state title games in the past, but those guys are all long graduated.    Does that have any meaning to a new coach coming in?      

 It doesn't if the current student body can't support great football now. Oak Ridge will have a very good team in 2022 though, just loaded with good athletes and their 9th graders are really good.

 I agree on the Witten thing, he's not moving to OR from his home. I'd sure take a hard look at Steve Matthews if I was Joe G.

 BTW, I heard from a source who knew all these moves were going to happen( Joe retires, Mullins resigns, Joe takes over AD) and he told me to keep my eye on Scott Cummins. We'll see.

 This OR team has depth, that first one didn't. Lot of shooters, play hard as heck on defense and OR outrebounded the heck out of McMinn last night. 

 Might end up being a great team after everyone gets healthy and experienced.

 Why did Blade resign?
