Normally wouldn't post something about Oak Ridge. But just wanted to bring attention to a special event we had today and see if anyone else does this. We played DB at home in our first annual THINK PINK day to bring awareness to Breast Cancer and raise money for Susan G. Komen. I really appreciate Coach Woods bringing his girls down to participate in the event. I know it means a lot to him. I'm not sure how much we raised yet. But we are making a 3rd shirt order to cover demand and sold close to 300 ribbons that are tied to the fence at our complex with the names of someone who has fought this battle. A lot of thought and consideration went into this day, including a pink game ball and pink whistle for the ref! I just wanted to thank everyone involved. Also wanted to see what others do for this cause and see if we can make this grow next year. I'd love to do a day across the state or even just our area where we coordinate together to make it an even better event.

 

 

I even had BigG with us in a PINK hat supporting the cause! Thanks for coming Bro.

Our girls wore pink ribbons in their hair for our game Friday, and I imagine they will continue to do so for the entire month. It hits close to home for us, as the mom of one of the girls on the team has been battling the affliction (successfully, thank goodness!) over the course of the season.

 

Coach, the pink polka dots in the beard were a nice touch! It was good to meet you.

      A perfect example is for athletes at Clinton High School. I will completely understand, and hopefully everyone should understand why they want to, and as of right now, it looks like that’s going to happen in numbers over the summer.

      I mean, that’s easy to say when it hasn’t happened to your school that often, if at all, but yeah, I think everybody should be for the student athlete or player. Whatever they think will help them or their athletic career, I feel like they should be able to do that, even if that means transferring schools. Now I don’t really get that when you have almost every offer you could want and then jump ship, but what can I say? I guess money talks.

      school closing in Shelby county

      Covid killed the city because they chose not to play football in the 2020 season. Therefore, kids weren't able to practice and develop, and continuing to lift weights. Memphis basically had 7/8 graders, skipping a year, then playing 9/10 high school football. Now, there's only one team that has made a "dent" which will be Southwind (made it to the 5A semifinals last year).  If you want to go more suburbs, then it'll be Houston, which won the 6A state title, defeating Oakland Other than that, I agree.

      It will be hard opening up a restaurant and coaching a High School Football team at the same time but he did take this job as an interm coach to stop the bleed. The program is in scorched earth mode right now and could drop down to the likes of Scott County, Campbell County and Karns if they lose most of their kids out of this.
