"up in Grundy County? Last time I looked, Grundy was "Down" towards Chattanooga! Also, I don't think anyone thinks of OZ being in north east tenn, and they do have some team speed, Oz also has Tyler Harper who is 6'8" at 330. Go Bobcats!

Go Bobcats! Tailgating starts at 5:30, come on by and grab a bite to eat!

That may be true, But, a majority of your posts concerning OZ anyway, have been nothing short of cheap shots and negative in nature.

I think this is the first post you've made, that I can actually agree with, and you did so without taking a shot at OZ. See it can be done.

Give me one example of a post I've made that's negative about another team that was unsolicated. For that matter a negative post about another team, I've only responded to you and your kinds non-stop bashing of OZ. You only lose credit as a poster, by your negative postings.

Oldschool, You nailed it! Funny how Hater has a select memory concerning his own post Your right about other teams scheduling OZ this year, they thought they had an easy win, I understand that , but, the reason no one brings that up is because it's easy to kick a team when it's going through a down period, now that OZ has turned the corner, they have to find some other way of being critical of group of young men who deserve to experience some succes for all of their hard work. And, thats what it is all about, the young men on the field. Not some kid making NEGATIVE posts and taking cheap shots every chance they get on a message board! Just like the comment made by Hater about a patsy schedule.

As posted by Tiger: Third..........you want to knock on Kingston for playing the likes of Scott County........while the OS CATS now are in a district where you will yearly play the likes of Oakdale and Sunbright?? .........no disrespect to Oakdale and Sunbright Now....why don't you tell me why the OS CATS will travel about 2 1/2 hrs to play Hancock County.....but will not travel about 1/2 hr to play Kingston.....a team you don't care about?? ........No one was comparing Rockwood's and OS's schedule.....you just saw the name Rockwood and the chip on your shoulder started screaming in you ear so it's you that needs to let it go As long as you feel like you need to throw darts at OS, you should expect some to get tossed your direction. I don't have a chip on my shoulder, but, I'm not going to let you or your kind keep bashing OZ. You should also re-read your post before posting a response. If you can't stand the heat get out of the kitchen, ask your teacher about that one too!

Tiger, The numbers don't lie, your strenght of schedule is no better that OZs, Posters who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones Ask one of your teachers what that means when you go back to school Tuesday.

POSTED BY HATER: As far as payback goes: I do believe Coach Webb has seen his share of the other end of the stick in some games with Alcoa and Loudon on the schedule the past few years. Stop crying Funny thing is, OS played in the same district and the above mentioned teams until this year, pretty tough schedule for anybody. Yet you still slam OS by saying this years schedule is a cupcake schedule. DO YOU KNOW that OS strength of schedule is rated as a 53, know what Rockwoods is this year, thats right a 53! Pass the cupcakes! Your screen name says it all! Lets take a look at Rockwoods tough schedule: Sweetwater- down this year and will be lucky to have a winning record Greenback- really down this year and will be lucky to have a winning record Kingston- down this year and will be lucky to have a winning record Tellico Plains- here is a real powerhouse football program, and you made fun of Sunbright and Oakdale! Grace Christian- may be the only other team Rockwood will face with a winning record Wartburg- another powerhouse, will be lucky to have a winning record Midway- the only other school who will have a winning record Bledsoe County- too early to tell, but this looks like a down year for them too Harriman- I'm not gonna knock on Harriman, but this should be an easy win for Rockwood too.

I don't totally agree and here is why: Rockwood, lost alot to graduation, but has a tough defense and a solid running game. Midway, also lost alot to graduation, but Moser always gets the most out of his players, they play hard nose football the entire game, should have a winning season. OS, this without a doubt the most talented OS team across the board since 2005. Harriman, they are young but still have team speed on their side, this will catch some teams off guard. Kingston, this is a re-building year for Kingston, they are young and play a tough schedule.

First off......I'm not from Kingston........I'm from Rockwood.........that played in that same region as the OS CATS for about the last 10-15 years Second off.......Kingston played in,in MHO,what was the toughest region in the state........playing not only the likes of Scout County.....but the likes of Austin-East......Fulton.......Catholic.........Livingston Academy.........and Anderson County Third..........you want to knock on Kingston for playing the likes of Scott County........while the OS CATS now are in a district where you will yearly play the likes of Oakdale and Sunbright?? .........no disrespect to Oakdale and Sunbright Now....why don't you tell me why the OS CATS will travel about 2 1/2 hrs to play Hancock County.....but will not travel about 1/2 hr to play Kingston.....a team you don't care about?? If you look at Murphy Fairs and CoachT's shedule ranking, It has OZ at a 53 strength of schedule, you know what Rockwood's is: 53, Your beating a dead horse with the schedule OZ has. Your schedule is no stronger, Let it go! Lets take a look at Rockwoods tough schedule: Sweetwater- down this year and will be lucky to have a winning record Greenback- really down this year and will be lucky to have a winning record Kingston- down this year and will be lucky to have a winning record Tellico Plains- here is a real powerhouse football program, and you made fun of Sunbright and Oakdale! Grace Christian- may be the only other team Rockwood will face with a winning record Wartburg- another powerhouse, will be lucky to have a winning record Midway- the only other school who will have a winning record Bledsoe County- too early to tell, but this looks like a down year for them too Harriman- I'm not gonna knock on Harriman, but this should be an easy win for Rockwood too. You and HankHill, and Jetpride are three of a kind, even though I think OS has shown they can play with or beat each of your teams.

HUH? If you don't think Maryville Is down this year you haven't been watching . This probably Is Coach Quarles's weakest team right now , but they won't be for long . We'll get to see how your team ( Oak Ridge ) does against our weakest team In a decade later this year ...... i should have known Pep would be the one trying to set me straight-LOL .Read this real slow Pep maybe you'll understand it and get your facts straight for your response post, My team?, no my son plays for the Bobcats, not the wildcats, and the reference to MREB and Maryville was done tongue in cheek, ALL teams go through cycles, even Maryville, is it REALLY any wonder that you spend most of your time on CoachT defending yourself and your posts. Lighten UP for Gods sake!!! Also, I never said that Alcoa would lose to either team, but, that it would be a good game, and in my opinion both had enough talent on offense to make a real game of it, no matter what happened in a scrimmage.

Are any of you watching the Farragut vs Catholic game? I'm not saying that Alcoa would lose to either team, but, I wouldn't give them a certain win either. Both would be a good game. Funny how MREB tells us that Maryville can play with the big boys, yet when it finally happens, Maryville is going into 2 down years, and will not compete for state titles. Welcome to the real world!

Great game so far, really glad it's on TV. Is it me or does Mark Packer sound like Festus from Gunsmoke calling a football game. Too bad they can't get someone else to call the TV games.

Pupvol, roll over and wake FBE up, so he can defend himself from these unruly posters.

Congrats Farragut!! FHS Admiral- I find it odd that the term gutless only shows up in YOUR posts, not from any of the Ridges, learn to practice what you preach! You can't critize certain OR posters, then turn around and make the exact type of posts your whinning about, you lose all of your credibility.

wpasi. You oughta go to Vegas, OZ 35 - Hancock County 0 - Final

According to the Hancock County High School home page, this is their Homecoming Game. I know, I couldn't believe it either, but that's what it says.

I'm not pissed, the point of my post was not about the week they had played in previous seasons, but, that it was Rockwood that wanted and did in fact change the week that Rockwood and OS usually play. Thus, leaving only week 0, as the only option. OS declined, based on my previous post info. That was my point! Maybe you need to re-read some of your past posts that concern OS, always a knock, and nothing positve. Attack, and you will be attacked! Show me ONE post, that I have made a post out of thin air in regards to your Jets.

Per: Jet Pride "Well catback Rockwood has always played Kingston week 3 and I say 2 years from now Rockwood & Oliver Springs should work something out for week 5 and Rockwood should move the Coalfield game to week 1" Poor ole Jet, his team is in the can, so all he has to worry about is Roane County football, you should be thanking your lucky stars, that your 3-A Jets don't have to play the 1-A Bobcats. We all know how that would turn out. I still think that if Rockwood and OS take care of business, they still could end up playing each other. The fact remains, it was Rockwood who changed the normal date of the OS game, and wanted to move it to week 0. Hank, just admit it, your plain ol SCARED!! Go back to class!

I knew given enough rope, ole hank would hang himself, "Rockwood tried to schedule this game for this Friday" (which would be week 0) as stated by hank. You are right, it was Rockwood who scheduled a different game for week 3 and 4, the normal date that OS and Rockwood play during the regular season, due to the change in classification, and wanted OS to play week 0. OS then had to find a game to replace Rockwoods spot in week 3. And your also right. OS did not want to play week 0, this would have given them an 11 game schedule this year with NO OPEN DATE. It was a no brainer for the coaches, even if some 12 year old kid doesn't think so, it was an OS coach who approached Rockwood about tonights scrimmage, even though it looks like it may get rained out. And I'm still waiting for your e-mail address. Now for fellow posters, Hank is a kid who trolls any thread concerning Roane County Football, he never makes an intelligent post, and only posts negatives about other schools and posters. He is what is becoming the biggest problem on CoachT, a troll who wants nothing but to cause problems, even the Rockwood posters are tired of his antics. Just ignore him. Or hit the report button on his posts and let the moderators take care of him.

Amen, Brother!!

I agree 100% both teams did look good last night and SOR looked good as well. I heard Harriman did not play some starters I hope thats the case they were not crisp at all. I was told by a good source that Harriman did not play all of their starters last night, with that said, I thought that Sunbright played well given the fact they dress out about 18 kids, they have some talent on the team , I don't know why they can't get more kids out for football. Maybe if the basketball coach and the rest of the schools staff would realize that football can generate alot of the funds for the whole athletic department, they would help recruit some of the kids walking the halls at Sunbright to play football.

Just wondering if you were at Cumberland Countys scrimmage last night? and if so, what was your take on it.
