Just wondering if anyone has heard who is replacing OJ at Oak Ridge. We NEED to know whether or not the Barry Redmund tournament is still going on. If it isn't, we need to schedule more games immediately. Any help is appreciated.

I know that they are still looking and interviewing (they have not hired anyone as of yet). From what I was told, they were going to try and get someone by the first of the year (which I would assume would be this week).

 

I will post as soon as I hear anything definitive.

I know the Barry Redmond and Katie Hunter Tournaments are huge traditions at OR and I can all but guarantee they will continue. It helps these are huge fundraisers as well. I can't so for sure, but I do not see a scenario where the touranment would not take place. Should know something for sure very soon.

It is a bitter sweet moment for me. I lose one of the best assistants I have ever had, but also know that a good friend has a wonderful opportunity at Oak Ridge. He met with the CAK players today to let them know. While they were sad to lose him, they were excited for his chances to run his own program.

 

I think Coach Day will do a fantastic job. I look forward to watching him this season!

Does this mean you will hire me as the new assistant? :excl:;)

Akula, you are correct in that the tradition is huge. The girls boosters are planning the 14th Katie Hunter and with the support of the coaches that have attended in the past we will hold it this coming fall (labor day weekend is our traditional date). I am sure that coach Day will settle in very quickly and the boys program will make a quick decision on Barry Redmond.

SoccercatDad (or anyone), can you post some contact information for someone in the ORHS booster club or perhaps the new coach? There's no such info on the OR soccer website.

 

Or have them get in touch with me: sam.matson@gmail.com

 

Thanks!

 

 

I can be the contact for the girls program (Katie Hunter tournament). I will get you the contact or at least some information on Barry Redmond. I have sent your email to the President of the Boy's boosters. Keep in mind that they just introduced Coach Day to the boys and parents yesterday. I am sure that he is drinking from a fire hose at this point. The reception was crowded. Impressive young man, I can see why Big G was conflicted on his departure.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
