You are incorrect Old Dad! I do know BB and that is the reason that I made my initial statement. My point was that they are not a top 10 team in the South. I'm not even sure if they are a top 10 team in the State. Time will tell if they are at that level but with young players it will be difficult. Stuart is a very good player but can she carry this team into March?

defense wins,

You may think you know BB, but, when you post that OR is not in the top ten in Tennessee, you show your ignorance, the national ranking is usually based on past history, and start up records, I'll grant you that these rankings are subject at best, but every major newspaper in Tennessee has OR in the top ten. This thread was started to congratulate the OR girls, if you want to post your negative opinions about OR, go for it, but start your own thread. I'll be happy to make a bet with you about OR not getting out of the region!! ALL Tennesseans should be proud that OR and Heritage are being recognized!!

Papatj,

 

I'll finish with this final statement. If you look at my post, I said OR was not 10th in the South. They are not! I also said "I'm not sure if they are a top 10 team in the State" didn't say they weren't but time will tell. They are a good team and in my opinion a top 5 or 6 in ET along with Heritige, Cleveland, Tennessee High, Walker Valley, and Greeneville. We'll see in March if they can get out of their region and move on to Mboro. Good luck to all the OR fans for the rest of the season!

As you say, defense wins, I will say this one final time. Just because you make it out of the region does not mean a team will make it to MBoro. Don't really care where a team is ranked. Ranking mean nothing. A team can win the region tourney or come in second and still not make it to the State tourney, that is all that I am saying. Period

I would like to add that whoever stated that Oak Ridge wouldn't get out of the Region does not know alot about Basketball. I think that Oak Ridge will not only get out of the Region but will be playing in Murfreesboro in March. I still think that it will be Heritage and Oak Ridge. I know that Cait is down but this team is still winning alot of ball games without her. Oak Ridge has the KeKe Stewart inside and noone can stop her one on one. I really gets to me how people get on here and say how they shut KeKe down. Guarding her with three players usually will cause a player not to score as much. Watch out for Kortni Jones and Raegan Thompson, Prudden has these two youngs kids believing and giving KeKe the help she needs will make this team a state contender.

 

As for Raegan Thompson coming to Oak Ridge, how can you blame this kid for wanting to play for a coach like Jill Prudden. Don't get on here and bash someone for making a smart move. Probably just jealous that your kid is not good enough to play for Oak Ridge.

 

Wow,

 

Glad to see you back Lowtime 7, have missed you calling kids names, and or degrade kids since your kin left the high school scene. Knew that you would have to get involved sooner or latter when a SSS / Flight player was involved. Guess as we get closer to AAU season we can look forward to more of your valuable wisdom (lack) and knowledge (lack) unfortuanately.

 

Do you really know that the player is not good enough to make the OR team, or that the person posting really has a daughter that plays Bball? Probably not but it makes you feel important I guess.

*sigh* Look what this thread has come to. :angry:

 

Can we not just either congratulate a hard-working team or move on?

 

 

We can, it is good to see the hard work that it required for this type of recognition get the attention. Congratulations to the OR ladies for the ranking, and good luck the rest of the way.

NOBODY. That usa today poll is whack. they prolly picked oak ridge's name out of a hat.

      Winds of Change Blowing in Trousdale.

      By Wingback08 · Posted

      Fortuitously encountering Clint amidst the ambience of Goodyear this morning sparked an impromptu yet intellectually stimulating conversation, wherein we engaged in a rigorous assessment of prospective candidates for the esteemed role of head football coach. Our discourse, characterized by its spontaneity and depth, led to the formulation of astute observations and discerning judgments regarding the suitability of various individuals for this pivotal position. Allow me to elucidate the fruits of our collaborative contemplation: This commentary endeavors to offer a discerning articulation of my subjective viewpoint, emphasizing a conscientious commitment to maintaining impartiality and refraining from any semblance of derogation directed towards individuals.  Those who possess meritorious qualifications for the esteemed head coaching role, delineated without hierarchical precedence, include: Rennard Woodmore, an esteemed alumnus of the Yellow Jackets, presents a magnificent pedigree, having held prominent positions in head coaching capacities across various regions. His pivotal role as a coordinator for teams contending for state championships further enhances his stature in the realm of football leadership. Kyle Gregory, erstwhile adorned in the resplendent gold insignia, though lacking direct head coaching experience, brings to the fore his invaluable insights garnered as a coordinator for esteemed teams, showcasing an acute understanding of the requisites for triumph whilst attired in the esteemed purple and gold regalia. Steven Jackson, whose contributions transcended mere clipboard duties under the tutelage of Kevin Creasy, emerges as an exceptional candidate for Trousdale County. His prior tenure and triumphs as an assistant coach underscore his suitability for the role. The sole drawback lies in his lack of affiliation with Trousdale County as an alumnus. Brandon Eden's extensive tenure within the chronicles of Trousdale County football, spanning a significant portion of its State Championships, coupled with his successful stints as a coordinator across diverse locales, underscores his candidacy despite a dearth of direct head coaching experience at the high school level. Davy Cothron, while beset by a modest playing career, has emerged as a luminary in offensive strategy, drawing parallels to the transformative appointment of Barker in 2015, thereby warranting consideration for his proven acumen in this realm. Joshua Hackett, notwithstanding his non-alumnus status, has left an indelible imprint across Middle Tennessee, distinguished by his adept curation of formidable defensive units as a coordinator at Watertown, albeit without direct head coaching experience. Kevin Creasy, the epitome of coaching prowess, merits an offer irrespective of his current inclinations, his unparalleled capacity to secure victories transcending geographical and institutional bounds, potentially extending to a role as Director of Schools should it align with his aspirations. Conversely, individuals who have not demonstrably earned the mantle of head coaching, enumerated without sequential precedence, encompass: Brad Waggoner David Barker Paul Pitts Jeremy Pruitt Clint Satterfield Robbie Atwood Wesley Satterfield Ben Johnson BJ West Whom do you all deem most fitting to assume the mantle of the next coach, and what rationale informs your choice? Conversely, whom do you perceive as ill-suited for the role, and what underpins your reasoning for their exclusion?

      Clinton HC Fired

      By BigCW · Posted

      Just read the article! In one statement he says he didn’t know the player was academically ineligible yet he also says he met with a teacher in 2022 to discuss putting the player in credit recovery.  I find it hard to believe a Head Coach doesn’t know a player is not eligible; are they not responsible for clearing them to the TSSAA?
