Clinton vs. Oak Ridge

[ORidgeKat]

This is a really good group of freshmen.  They play extremely hard and they are fun to watch.  Got some hitters out there too. 

 

Hey Nole,  I counted about 50 ninth graders last night.  If you had to venture a guess right now.  How many of those 50 or so do you think will still be playing football for Oak Ridge in 2016-2017 season?  

 

I'm hoping that we have 30 plus seniors on that team 3 years from now.  That would be way above average in this day and age.  That could be alot of fun if indeed it does happen.

 

Also Nole, when will TJ Allison become eligible? That kid can flat out run the football.  One coach told me last night that he is a tougher runner than anybody they have on varsity.

Don't know about TJ's eligibility. 30 sounds about right for these kids to last. Two very good corners/WR playing hoops instead of football have said they expect to join this class next year. Mlekodaj  (great DE) will be back next year. Hope for a couple of transfers into this class (always a lot of talk going on).

How did JMac do?

[OR nole]

occupied blockers very well at nose and looked GREAT as a pulling guard. Fantastic ability to move for a big boy.
