Ok guys, oak ridge looked pretty good against central, but how good was central to begin with? Powell has been playing light out lately, but it looks like fulton is not the team everyone thought they were, and halls? well, that goes without saying, with all due respect to halls there just not very good... so, who takes it at the "ship" this year?

If Oak Ridge can stop the Powell running game, Oak Ridge will win. If they can't, look for Powell to pull off the upset. Powell has a pretty good team. My prediction: Oak Ride wins 28-24 in a close one.

What is really strange is that in spite of the fact that these two schools are only about 12 miles apart as the crow flies, this will be Powell's first trip ever to Oak Ridge to play a varsity football game. Last year's win at Powell by Oak Ridge was the first time the two had ever even played in varsity football.

 

The two schools, of course, have been in the same district for a while now in other sports and have a very good rivalry, especially in girls and boys basketball. There have been some classic games played between the two in both. It's odd that they had never played in football before last year when the football re-classification/re-districting took effect.

True, HTV. But I'm glad we are playing each other. Last year, the Powell faithful provided a great game-night atmosphere. With this being out home opener, it should be a great night for football this year as well.

 

As far as the outcome of the game, I think Powell would have to be viewed as the favorite as they are playing very well. We are in similar shape as you guys were last year. We start a lot of young guys. I just hope we come out with the same intensity as we did against Central. Should be a close game.

With this being Oak Ridge's first home game of the season, i believe they will come out FIRED UP! If OR can weather the storm early, they have a very good chance of pulling this one out. Powell looks very impressive to this point and have alot of confidence.

 

I say.... Powell 35 Oak Ridge 21

    • 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.
