Ought to be a hoot

I'm really excited with the selection. Although I don't know alot about coach Blades, his record and wathcing his team end the streak at the championship are quite impressive in my book.

 

Could some of the fans from Hillsboro or around that area give me an idea of what we can expect? Philosophy, style of offense / defense, etc.

Good Luck to the Wildcats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Get ready for the Wing-T. I have to admit that I was more than a little worried about who they'd select when I heard that guys were turning down the job. I thought they might settle for someone that wasn't a proven winner as a HC. I have to give credit to Mr. Mullins, Prudden, and Norris. They made a great hire. I'm glad it's over. Now, let's get back to work. Roll Wildcats Roll

Sounds like the cats made a great hire. 37-5 at Hillsboro & put an end to the Maryville domination. But, we all know Steve Spurrier wouldnt win at Oak Ridge without a solid staff. Whats the word on asst. is bringing any, is the current staff staying?

 

Congrats on the hire & good luck to the CATS!!

I think they run a spread offense. The wing - T was the previous coach who is at Riverdale.

Great hire for Oak Ridge and yes he does run the spread. I am happy about this one.
