Ooltewah vs. Cookeville

[ImaOWL]

You guys best get to the nest early unless you wanna walk a mile or so. You will love playing here. Its a great high school football atmosphere. I predict low scoring game and an Owls win by 7.

He'll be in his Knicks gear, I'm sure!  He's not as big into baseball, but I'm sure he'll get a kick out of it!  Hard to understand what he's saying sometimes...Danged Yankees!   People down understand how we get along being as he says, "A Redneck Hillbilly from TN, and a Smart Alec Brotha from the Bronx!" 

 

He told me he would come down as long as I could guarantee he wouldn't get lynched!

Tell him we were just issued shoes last year and usually ride our john deers to work and to school if your family has money for the others we walk to school barefooted in the snow up hill both ways to and from. We will have to get him to try some Red Man or Copenhagen before the game and then he can say he has been rednecktafied. Remember those Yankees have trouble saying their R’s and all us southern folks drop a few letters to speed up our slow easy going talking. Ja eat yet? No Pop or yous guys tell him everything’s a Coke and Yall.

He'd probably try it. I was a career Marine, so I learned how to translate years ago! He's in for a real treat tomorrow night. He's never seen football of this magnatude. I still use Coke for all "sodas", so I get a hard time over that.

[SergeantOwl22]

I was a Squid so we should get along just fine.

The Journey

General Gatewood and his hungry owls are looking for their next prey. In week Zero, they marched into Red Bank on a dark foggy night looking for the once mighty lions and found only a few cubs in their den, which was not enough for the Old James County Legion. Week One some hyped up East Ridge pioneers decided to march their air wagons into the Nest to lay their claim after their thumping of the Bears in their first test. However, they found out quickly that the Owls Nest was not as peaceful as they thought when disturbed and ran home crying to their mommas. Week Two a band of McMinn County Cherokee warriors tried to sneak into the Nest only to find the Owls ready and looking for a good fight, the only problem they thought they were warriors and found that they were only big talking pups which angered Gatewoods Owls and sent them back on I-75 trail to Athens with their tails between their legs. Week Three Gatewood and his troops from Ooltewah raged war on their Purple boarder rivals and found that the PUDS from Chattanooga Central ready to knock off the sixth ranked team in the state. The Puds did everything that they could to stop one of the fiercest Owls in Gatewood’s arsenal only to find out these birds can air it out just as good as knocking their foes in the nose. The PUDS picked their poison and paid the ultimate price. Week Four the Governors from William Blount heard there were some rowdy Owls in Ooltewah so they sent a few Marshall’s to take care of the situation but would be held up by a storm named Ivan that had flooded their path. They should have just stayed put because once they arrived in Ooltewah they found that the Owls were rowdy, and fiercer than the storm Ivan itself. During the battle, the Owls captured one of the Governors leaders so they brought him to their Commander, General Gatewood that he then offered a truce halfway through the battle but they did not except the terms and conditions so he then ordered his troops to destroy them and so they did. After the conflict, the Owls posted signs on all their boarders and this is what it reads. (Don’t mess with the NEST) with exception of the border between PUDLAND and Ooltewah, it is written in Red and has a picture so our Purple PUD rivals can understand it. Week Five was an off week for the rumbling rolling Red Birds from Ooltewah preparing for a Big Bear hunt in Bradley County. First half stats.

 

Record: 5-0 (2-0) Rank: 6th in 5A according to AP Poll



 

Week Six it was hunting season for the Owls from Ooltewah heading north to Bradley County looking for some Bear meat and skins for the winter. The Bears started running around like chickens with their heads cut off once they noticed a Big Red Bull’s-eye on their backs. The Owls yelled out and told the Bears not to run because they would only die tired. Gatewood ordered the command to fire and unleashed the Ooltewah silver bullets (AKA Silver helmets) dropping every Bear in sight 41 to be exact. The hunt was quick and painless for the Bears, but it could have been a total massacre if General Gatewood had not called the dogs off with six min. left in the first half of play. Gen. Gatewood told his troops to stand down because they had enough Bradley Bear skins and meat to last them for their upcoming journey to the Mountains to battle against the Fort Heritage Mountaineers. Week 7 The Rolling Red Birds of Ooltewah and their fearless leaders made it over the mountains and through the woods to Heritages House, they go. The mighty warriors of Ooltewah once inside the Heritage House quickly let it be known that they were still hungry the Mountaineers scrambled and whipped up some flapjacks, hash browns smothered covered and chunked and some good ole Smokey mountain bacon and then placed before them. The Owls ate their offering of truce but then a Clan of moon shiners barged in the door thinking since they whipped a few Trojans but not all of them last week they could do the same on this night. The Heritage Mountaineer Moon Shiners looked like deer’s in head lights when General Gatewood’s boys stood up from their tables and asked to take the matter outside and that’s when it all got ugly showing the Mountain boys why the Owls were ranked third in the state of Tennessee and that The Ooltewah Owls are not Mountain Boys but White Oak Mountain Men. After the skirmish, General Gatewood and his veteran group of feisty Owls marched at a double quick down south on 75 to the Nest to prepare for some Soddy Daisy Troy Trojans that he heard were building a gift for them but Gatewood knows their Commander and Chief all to well to fall for such tricks. Week 8 Fe Fi Fo Fum I smell the blood of an Trojan Man. Commander Weathers and his Giants from Soddy Daisy came to the Nest with a huge appetite for destruction they made such a commotion on their way that people from all over the area wanted to know what the big fuss was about so they filed into the Nest one by one and noticed this was the battle of the unbeaten and the third and fifth ranked team in the state of Tennessee ready to fight it out like a couple of heavy weights. General Gatewood in the Red corner and Commander Weathers in the Blue corner. You could see the smoke signals from the Nest as far as the eye could see this signaled all Ooltewahlians to report for duty on this night because all hands will be needed to take out these Giants. Not a soul knows how the zebras got on the field of battle but I do believe they had Mad Zebra Disease (MZD) because they used their yellow hankies enough for General Gatewood and Commander Weathers to order their Corpsman’s to issue flu shots to their troops. Commander Weathers drew first blood as he ordered an air assault on General Gatewoods defenses and right before the lines broke Lt. Woods hooked up with Sgt. Lansden with bomb that he took to Soddy Daisy’s Green Zone, which changed the momentum of the battle. Three quarters into the battle it was back in forth between the Mighty Red Birds of Ooltewah and the Giant Trojans from Soddy Daisy with more the same of the Trojan air attack and for Ooltewah Sgt. Caldwell and Sgt. Williams grinding out the ground campaign with their Big O, but the clincher was the heart of General Gatewoods defenses all night long they fought their hearts out and when you have the spirit of these warriors good things happen and it did with a blocked field goal and in the forth an interception which left Commander Weathers and his Trojans dumbfounded. Commander Weathers swallowed his pride and gathered his troops and left the Nest with their first loss as the crowed watched in shock and awe over the battle they just witnessed. After the respected Soddy Daisy Trojans left the Nest General Gatewood and his Big Bad Ooltewah Owls started to prepare to sink a ship in the Atomic City of Oak Ridge Which is guarded by some fierce fourth ranked Wildcats that do not go down easy this will be another classic battle. Week 9 General Gatewood and his troops marched their way up North 75 until they found the Neon City billboards flashing Ooltewah Owls right here with arrows flashing towards the Ghost Ship of Oak Ridge where so many teams came with high expectations and left in disbelief and the same would happen on this creepy evening as the Rolling Red Birds from Ooltewah and General Gatewood could not get their offenses to penetrate the fourth ranked Mean Wildcats defenses all night. The Owls did have some good opportunities to change the momentum of the battle like who ever said lightning doesn’t strike twice with a Sgt. Lansden blocked field goal for a touchdown like he did the week before against the Trojans. However, this battle goes to the heart-fought Oak Ridge Wildcats and sent the once third ranked Ooltewah Owls down south to ponder the matter of their first loss. These young battle worn Owls will not be down long because they know there is still business to take care of before its all said and done. The Fierce Owls now know the meaning of defeat and glorious feeling of victory take heed Farragut Admirals because the Owls are coming. The Admirals of Farragut which are coming off two straight losses will be ready to battle for the third spot in the region standings at the Nest next week with Owls hoping for the number one spot or second depending on the Soddy Daisy, and Oak Ridge outcome, they must not forget about the stingy Farragut Admirals or they will sink to number four. Take heed! Week Ten General Gatewood and his down but not out Ooltewah Owls settled in to the Nest on Friday night to host the admirals from Farragut. The Admirals brought their big leg gun, which took out the Owls 12-7. The Owls know they were the better team even without three of their starters. The Owl machine produced five turnovers to give Farragut opportunities in their favor rather than the Red Birds. The Owls with five turnovers only got beat by five points, which could have been different, if the Owls did not fumble the ball on the Farragut 20 yard line at the end of the game. Now that being said Farragut wanted the win more than the Owls did and it showed all night long the Owls controlled their own destiny going into this fight and if they picked up the W in this one they would not be sitting in a position that they must face the number ranked team in the state of Tennessee their first week in the playoffs Kingsport Dobyns Bennett Indians. Nevertheless, this is football anything can and will happen on any given Friday night and that is why we play the game. Season Sates through week ten.

 



 

Week 11 Fourth seed in the playoffs drew the 1st ranked team in the state DB and their air attack. Gen. Gatewood and his battle worn Birds had to keep their heads up and lay it all out on the line when they made there longest journey of the season to Kingsport. The Owls gave their best shot and fought bravely all night and just about upset the tribe in their own back yard 21 -14 was the final in this one. The Owls have nothing to be upset about they played their hearts out all year long and we are very proud of their accomplishments and wish them the best of luck in their long life ahead of them. Go Owls!

OwlsGK30-- Thanks man, things are going alright, can't wait to catch ya at the game tomorrow night... good luck... expecting a field goal dedication!

 

Grad-- I do believe I have your # in my phone and will either see you tomorrow night, or give ya a ring... talked to the coach yesterday and got the full story on how he knows him... sounds like a great guy and very interested to see what the STUD has to offer... in case you were wondering thumb

 

Anyway, I'm really looking forward to catching this game tomorrow night. Excited to see what Gaston brings to the table for the Owls running game. Wouldn't doubt if Caldwell and him were the best running combination in the city. As mentioned before in many earlier posts, the sophomore players of the 03 season are now seniors, and have the right amount of experience needed in order to get the job done. Guys like Woods, Lowe, Burke, etc. will indeed step up this year as leaders to make it loud and clear the Owls mean business. All in all, from what I've read it seems like both teams are evenly matched, so as the phrase goes, ANY GIVEN DAY, and given team can win a ball game... hopefully, my boys from Hooterville come out on top, so I don't have to drive back to Kentucky being disappointed
