Ya , it's funny how that " normal caliber " is harder to achieve when you go up against a team with Athletes just as good or even better than what you have .... Congrats to the Cats for gettin er dun !! Look forward to seeing you guys again next week !!

 

You're making assumptions that the facts (at least the ones I have from the radio broadcast) and you're not giving me credit for what I did say.

 

You'll see that I said Oak Ridge controlled the line of scrimmage, evident by OR's offensive numbers and Reed Hayes being sacked more times in this game than he has all season.

 

Also, Reed Hayes missed open receivers on several occasions and there were several dropped passes that should have been caught. The way it came across on the radio broadcast is that OR had left openings for SH to make some important plays, but they didn't make them.

 

You'll notice that I nowhere stated that this is why SH lost. It is my opinion that SH wasn't playing their "A" game, at least on the offensive side of the ball. Still, Oak Ridge played well enough to win and SH didn't; simple as that.

Hayes is a special player. I thought he carried the team tonight, stood tall in the pocket and made great decisions.

I agree. It might seem like I'm down on him, it's just that I've seen what he can do. No doubt, he's done more at QB for SH this year than I or anyone else could have hoped for.

 

Would have liked to see what he could have done if he had been started prior to this year. UT's baseball coach has said they'll let him play football if he wants, so we may see him on the football field again down the road.

It sounds like you were able to " SEE" an awful lot looking at the Radio ... I listened to it on the Radio too , but what I "SAW" was Oak Ridge playing some great defense . lol

They did play some great defense. SH had no running game at all except for Hayes who seemed to keep plays alive all night long. There were some big hits tonight.

Great season for the Toppers comes to an end. The team, especially the Seniors, should be very proud of all the accomplished this season. They certainly have nothing to hang their heads about. I wasn't able to attend the game as I am out West on business but it sounds like it was a good one. Time for basketball, Topper Nation!

 

Congratulations to Oak Ridge

Maybe Hayes was missing open Receivers all night because Oak Ridge's defensive line was in his face all night and then some! If it wasn't for Hayes making plays with his legs all night this wouldn't have even been a game, to be honest. #52 had if i counted correctly at least 4 or 5 sacks, which would bring his totals to dang near 20 sacks on the year. If he doesn't get All State something is terribly wrong. And SH had no answer for Rian Hall. What an athlete he is. Win or lose next week @ Murvil i am very proud of our kids. Showed tremendous heart all night. Thought we actually left a few scores out there on the field tonight, too. OR's defensive line wore out SH's OL all night long and made them like it. Anyways, good game SH. Don't think we won't rub it in a bit, though considering how most of ya'll said it wouldn't even be close.

    • Agree 100 percent 
    • A lot of people don’t realize how valuable JMO was. QB, safety, punter and holder on pat’s. Kid did it all. I fully believe if he was healthy Dburg would have made it to the ship last year. 
    • If Dyersburg quarterback who is also starting safety hadn’t got hurt it would of another blowout 
    • For perspective the county school I’m associated and graduated from only has 7,600 people in the entire county with a median age of roughly 47. That’s not very many 14-18 year olds to choose from. I think the football team had 25-28 kids or around there.  On the other hand Shelby County has 916,000+ with a median age of 36. This isn’t just about Shelby county, but all the big ones with huge economic advantages!  An urban/rural split would benefit tons of smaller schools that have to compete with counties with 120x the amount of people. Especially the ones who can pick and choose their players from a pool like that!   I also agree with Pujo about charter and magnets and they will eventually be phased into the private divisions because it is obviously an advantage plus all the funding! Add that county schools can’t go recruit outside of their county like charters and magnets! 
    • They should be starting next week and go from there.  They never do Spring Practice in April
