Oak Ridge has the best uniforms in my opinion both home and away. Is it just me or does anyone else find a change in perception in the same exact uniform of a team at any level or any sport change when the success of the program is at the top or has fallen to the bottom of the pack? Interesting.

Who is the new OC?

Great Post CATWATCH... It is only fair to the players at FRHS to understand what they are up against. Work harder than you ever have, take pride in your tradition at Father Ryan and remember, like at Oak Ridge you can win despite.....BL

Bruce better start to remember. Don't believe what "bounder" says. He was just a smoocher. 1] The players love Jeff. The majority of the players did not like Bruce after he became a head coach again. 2] Jeff loves the players. Bruce loves himself and his little power trip being the decision maker who steps on the field on friday nights. 3] If you ever, EVER get on Bruce's spit list forget it. You will never get off of it. He knows Not how to forgive. 4] If you don't like kissing up......Pick another sport. 5] Sorry. that is what I meant. SORRY.

" I watched OR vs. Riverdale, and Lussier coached as good of a game as anyone could. Father Ryan will benefit from his presence." Dragon05, What exactly did Lussier do to help Oak Ridge against Riverdale? Coach Jeff Minor is the reason the offense did well. GO WILDCATS!! Good luck IRISH!! you are in for a big suprise. Sorry.

Sneakypete nice post: High School baseball is about the kids/players it is a sad day when any team plays so well, against one of the best teams in the nation, upsetting them and getting the death penalty for a coaches fops. Indeed an error was made and the rule is a very important one. But does the penalty fit the crime? I don't feel it does. Their should be a punishment for the coach who broke the rule. The Oak Ridge players deserve another game whither they playback to the inning where the rule violation started or add a losers bracket game to give the players another opportunity they deserve. It's for the kids!

There comes a time when you have to take the heat for doing a poor job of coaching and Coach Froning not only has admitted error but has taken blame for ending his own teams season. Any time I see a coach do the right thing I must salute this coach. Unlike Oak Ridge's former football coach who always blamed the players Coach Froning has shown character and should be admired for his stance on this matter. This rule is to protect the pitchers from injury. Rules are rules. Halls has every right to protest but not an obligation. Does this show character for the Halls coach? You can answer that one yourself....If you get your butt kicked, in an upset, where it is obvious there was no intent regarding Oak Ridge to gain advantage where does character reveal itself? You lick your wounds and congradulate Oak Ridge and call it a season. Karma will reveal itself in Halls next few games. Great effort Oak Ridge Players!

In the mid 70's Emory Hale made Oak Ridge players run up G road which is paved up the side of a mountain. WE baled hay and castrate bulls. Not bad for city boys. Winter work-outs were like Navy Seal training including boxing, wrestling, combat poles, wall climbing, stairs and sprints til you barf etc. We did so many up-downs some of us cracked our sternum....OUCH. And yes we pushed cars and then sprinted to stay them. That part was on our own time.

Mc Gay Man you are so wrong as usual. Coach Stephens, Spratling, and Miner are not narsistic like Brucie and Ronnie. They WILL have all of the best athletes on the team and on the field. I know they will do great things for the program. There won't be any" turning". So KMA

mc gay man...................turn what? if you mean around..............when he is no longer in town....maybe

Good luck Mr. Harvest! This is just another example of a former Oak Ridge player that got away thanks to well.............you know. Do well Ellery.

Ollie just for the record the "dragon wagon" "smashed" Oak Ridge by a whopping score of 6 to 0. Oak Ridge caught a touchdown pass late in the game which was MISSCALLED out of bounds. {I was 10 feet from the play] It was a great game and the best team won. I can say I enjoyed Clinton's 1992 season...arguably their best team evr and followed them every play-off game including the state championship game against Gallatin. Which I think Clinton was the better team. Personally I don't think the rode their horse 'whitt' enough that game. Peace

Oak Ridge is buzzing with excitement with Coach Stephens, Miner,Spratling, and Layton. The BIG 4. Back at their alma matter and taking the Wildcats back to elite status. Welcome home men. Just heard from a current player former OC Ron Gray is not coming back. Pitty. 'Cats are STATE BOUND!

tee hee
