Clinton/Oak Ridge

[bounder]

Well at least we can cover the field. Won't help us fans but it will make for a better playing surface.

Now weather.com says 80% rain, 1/2 inch of rain on the way. That's too bad, let's break out the rain gear. Oh well, that's football. By game time it will be 5 weeks since they've played on it, and it will be covered. So, the field will be in great shape.

Can anyone remember a season that we had rain/inclimate weather on so many Friday nights?

If you look at the hour by hour its looks as though it will be tappering off by game time its like 30% at 7

[ORidgeKat]

I hope your right. I don't really mind the rain, to me it's just part of football. My problem is toting around a 2 year old in the rain, cause we're not missing a game.

 

DCCATVOICE, can we just sit with you, you guys have tons of room in your cubicle.

according to weather.com at kick off we only have a 30% chance of rain!!! I like you 92dragon hope both sides keep it classy fans and players...although I'm more worried about fans keeping the class up

[thekidd0086]

I think both teams should be used to playing in the rain lol so that shouldnt matter..its does help that OR has been away the last few weeks. Im just glad this game isnt at Clinton right now cause our field is horrible...I think OR and Clinton have some surprizes tomorrow night.

[tnchad1980]

Yeah I do agree, the rain is nothing new for either of these teams for sure!

Not so fast grasshopper... the middle schools play on it also. Should be fine friday nite though.

Not me and I'm a little long in the tooth. All the rain is certainly a little aggravating, but like OR, AC's field will be in pretty decent shape tomorrow night.

 

I said a week or so ago I'd hazard a prediction on this game but I'm no further along with that. It'd just be a guess, so I'm saying even money. Two good teams each having great strengths with which to exploit the other. Would surely like to see it. Good luck to both sides.

Ill agree with the statment OR has a good D, really good line as well, but in all their games this season have they seen a QB that makes plays with this legs with as much success as D-stone. NO. Maryvilles QB can run, but only when its a designed run play with blockers set up for him, very similar to OR's QB. Stone makes plays, when everything breaks down, hes awsome at that, an OR has no one on their D-line who can catch him, just like last season, and he can throw with the best of them, and makes very few mistakes ( no pics this season) and add #2 to the mix, even more trouble. Clinton Offensive is better than OR defense, and clinton's D (around 13 points a game) is just as good or better than OR's O so therefore they win, period.

 

If you're going to quote stats why not use common opponents. Both teams have played 5 common ORopponents.

 

Oak Ridge Offense (29.8 per game) Defense (5.8)

Clinton Offense (39.5) Defense (17.8)

 

While you are so high on your QB, and as you say #2, tell me, how many times have they made the playoff's since they've been there. Can you say once. How many times have the won a playoff game? Can you say none. It should be a good game Friday, and I may not be able to guarantee a win, but I will bet that our little sophmore quarterback will win a playoff game before he becomes a senior.

 

Finally, you can quote all the stats and praise all the kids you want too, but the game will be decided on the field Friday night.

OR's D 5.8 points a game, Clinton's D 17.8 points a game huh??? you must have struggled in math class. Add up the total points they have given up and divide by 8, guarantee you don't get 5.8, or 17.8 points a game,. You guys ain't the 85 bears.... and I would take Stone and Hazelhurst as sophomores over any seniors on OR's roster, they have been the best players in the area the last two seasons, o and last season Hazelhurst didn't play but four games season, an stone still took us to the play-offs,and stone was way better as a sophomore than your QB, promise ya that. Well see were your sophomore goes to college at buddy, hope he likes D-3.

That should be a great game.I've said Clintons offense is the Virginia tech of local highschools.The question,is Oak Ridge the Alabama of local defenses.I've not read any of this thread,but I bet it's a barn burner,good luck to both your teams this week.
