Congratz to the Owls on a well deserved victory. I made the trip down to McMinn and these are my observations: Ooltewah's offense was well lead by #7 at QB, a very effective runner, don't know too much about his arm as he really never had to use it much. #32 at RB was elusive and had surprizing power for his size. Can't really say too much about their OL as they ran wide most of the day, but they looked to have size and mobility. Farragut started strong, but fell apart in the second half. It seemed their offense's lack of consistant drives forced their defense to be on the field too long and wore down chasing #32 and #7 all over the field. I don't think Ooltewah was 30 points better than Farragut, but they definitely were the better team on Saturday.

BTW, the injured player returned to the game as it ended, aparently there was no real damage to his back, just muscle trama. It was a scary moment though, and really puts things in perspective when injuries like that occur. Thank you for your concern.

That's good to hear,about the young man,I'm just glad it wasn't serious(that ambulance took forever!)#7GOOSE didn't throw that much(but he has a great arm when he gets a chance to show it),he threw one TD,a nice little fade pass to Shumaker#4 in corner of the endzone,but you are right,didn't have to pass much.Goose/Demarion#32 did run well.Our defense played alot better than,I thiought they would.if farragut doesn't have all the turnovers,the score probably wouldn't have been 30/0,but anyway good game,hope to see you all next few years. GOOD LUCK,ADs!!
