All i can say is wow. Im glad i went to this game. What a comback. down 23-7 at the half, and then oak ridge runs a punt back right at the begininng of the 3rd quarter to make it 30-7. Ooltewah did not lay down. They must of learned from the earlier game with Cookeville. Its not over until its over. Ooltewah passed the ball around Oak Ridge the whole 2nd half. #40 got open twice for 2 HUGE gains, very important plays to put Ooltewah in the red zone twice as well as catching the game winning catch. i think Oak Ridge turned it over twice in the 2nd half, 1 was off a monster hit on Oak Ridges receiver #2. He fumbled and then another one was off another receiver dropping it as well. That really killed Oak Ridge, and gave Ooltewah new light. Oak Ridge is still a very good team, dont let this fool you since they lost, but this just shows you anything can happen. Ooltewah can hang some of the top teams without a doubt if they play like they did in the 2nd half.

I watched the play and yes they were both turnovers. The first one was a catch and came down with 2 feet, took a step and then DeWayne Caldwell decleated him. The other was an interception. Oak Ridge is still one of the top teams in the state. Athletes all around the field. Gulmire is a beast!

I'll have to see the replay, but I believe both turnovers ruled fumbles were actually incomplete passes that were dropped, not fumbled...but, hats off to Ooltewah. They took advantage and converted 14 points on those incomplete passes they recovered. #40 for the owls is a stud.

 

The second turnover, could have been an interception. I think #33 for Ooltewah grabbed it off the tacklers back, I don't think it hit the ground. No matter the Owls got a much needed win. Way to go boys.

Yes your right if they loose and Blount and Ooltewah both win they will be 3rd seed. I really think this region could go 4-0 against Region 1 in the first round.

 

All i know is that this throws the playoffs outta whack. At first i thot that region 6 and 4 were the top regions in the state but i didnt realize that ooltewah was good enough to rally while behind 23 points against the number 2 team in the state. This region is teaching me a lesson i thot it was an oak ridge and riverdale quarter final but who knows. Congrats on that big win owls and i hope they continure to impress me. Maybe theyll get there shot at riverdale in the playoffs i kno the fans whould like that. What a game.

Region 4 5A might have the best team in the state but region 2 5A is the best region in the state seed one thru four.

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
