Ooltewah @ Oak Ridge

[bounder]

Hard to tell if the grass has been cut with that cover thing on it but it doesn't look to be more than about a foot tall. Better bring a goat or two. I'll Bar-B-Que one of them after the game. And Ole Dad can dance with the other one!!!!

I have stayed away from this as long as I can, but weather will not dictate the score. Bounder, go to sleep and rest up for the tailgate. Senior night is not what I expected about three years ago! Thank God it will be over soon. I really feel for the younger guys who have had to endure the FEELING OUT PROCESS! I hope I am wrong, but I doubt it!

I'd rather see this game than the Campbell Co. vs DB game! It would be as much fun as it was to go down and see OR beat Riverdale last year. I say the Owls get a surprise. OR by 7 +/- 4 points. Hope to see the Owls again this year in playoffs.

you better watch out, people will jump all over you with that inelegible player crap, and you will also be jumped on for having 6 posts.

On a wet muddy home field Oak Ridge wins by 6. Good luck to both teams.

[Owlbino]

My pick is that I don't really have one.

 

Oak Ridge has home field advantage, and the field will most likely be wet enough to at least hurt Ooltewah's speed. Plus, they need to win much more, and a team with some talent in a a must win situation can usually win. See: Tennesse V. Cal(win set tone for whole year) and Pittsburgh v. Kansas City(lose and you're not defending your super bowl).

 

Ooltewah has a great rush defense. I think WB was the only team to have a 100 yard back, everyone else just got stuffed. Pass defense has likely been concentrated upon all week, and Oak Ridge isn't playing starters there, but speed could become a factor. Offense should be fine. Sean Sanders and Kwan Buchanon can pound it up the middle if cutting is impossible, and if the turf is decent, Brian Marshall can get tough yards and use his speed. Throwing has proved to be fairly reliable all year when needed.

 

On paper, looks like an Ooltewah win. But Oak Ridge really does need the game to make the playoffs. I'll take Ooltewah 33-17 because it'll either be Ooltewah winning comfortably or Oak Ridge in a squeaker.

[BIG CAT RIDGER]

Oak Ridge needs to find it's rhythm tonight and overcome the odds. Seniors need to step up when they haven't all year, O-line blocking needs to get to linebackers and give qb time, defense needs to stay strong and not give up the big play, Qb needs a solid performance, and the kicking game needs to be sound.

 

 

Otherwise, Oooltewah will win. Too close to predict...

This game gonna be broadcast on the net?

I think that there is a link for a webcast on oakrdgesports.com . DCCatVoice does the play-by-play and does a really good job on it. Very balanced (at least it usually is) broadcast. Someone from Oak Ridge please correct me if I'm wrong.

[DCCATVOICE]

Thank you, we do try to be balanced in our braodcast. You can hear the game on Oakridgesports.com or on our main site, Prepradio.com. We come on around 6:30 pm but the pregame is very Oak Ridge heavy with coach interviews but they have nothing but praise and respect for Ooltewah.

Thank you for the info, look forward to a great game.

0% chance of rain tonight but it is going to cold. Should be a great night for Region 2-5a football. I might have to snatch some food from some of you Oak Ridge tailgaters before the game.
