Bounder..this isn't really for you...actually I'm very new at this. I've been reading for a while but just registered. I just wanted to share a thought....I know both of these programs very well....I coached some of the OR coaches at the Boys Club...some years ago. they are all terrific young men and have done a super job this year.

 

In following some of these threads...the interesting point is that neither side seems to have seen the other team play....really hard to evaluate with only half the data.

 

This entire process has been so much fun at Ravenwood over the last two years. See...I played for Cactus Jack in the 60's ...number 1 son played for OR in the late 80's...number two son was the left tackle on the 91 team....and number 4 son is the right tackle on the Ravenwood team.....how much fun is that!

WOW...that is TRULY amazing! And how coincidental....

Ole Dad

 

Ole Dad...I was the OR Football booster VP in the late 80's.....any chance you were close to the program then.....? Maybe we know each other...

 

By the way...for all you guys...Ravenwood also had scouts at Blankenship Friday night....but you already knew that.....every good staff has scouts and that goes back to the late 60's...maybe further

OakRidgeCat... no I am staying out in Franklin.

2priceless... we wouldn't do something like that,would we?

Raptorfan10...yep those are for real and I think they may be before RavenCats time by a few years, they are probably form the late 1940's early 1950's. The coach is probably Ben Martin. I was just a puppy then so I'm not really sure. I'm from the infamous class of 1961!!!

Before i start this forum i want OR to know that i am from William Blount and i want to wish them good luck and a safe trip up there.

 

I havent heard or seen how Ravenwood plays but i have seen OR and i saw them beat Riverdale last friday and from what i saw i think that OR has the determination and focus to win this saturday. But it is going to be a close game.

And i want to wish both teams luck. And to everyone a safe trip up to the boro.

and when Jack Daniels left ravenwood, they went to the playoffs, but there is a valid reason on that.

first of all ravenrap...i happen to know jack daniels very very personally, and i was just wondering what your implying by saying that they went to the the playoffs after Jack Daniels left. How do you think ravenwood started there program in the first place. Daniels is the reason for the strong spread offense as well as hiring the coaching staff that they have right now. So please tell me what your talking about?

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
