Oak Ridge 2014

Just got back from the Freshman scrimmage.  I thought our guys made a good showing in spite of the scoring.  The scrimmage format was a 10 plays offense/defense rotation.  We had 3 good chances to score and failed each time.  Our score was our 3rd team O against their 3 team D at the end of the scrimmage.  The biggest advantage that Maryville had was at the center position.  We have a lot of work to do with making the long snap crisp.  It really affected the timing of our offense.  I don't know many of the players, but considering that we are combining 2 teams together, they played pretty well.  The defense was tough, but gave up about 5 plays that were huge for the Rebels.  However, we had some long runs as well.  All in all, both teams got in some good work.

Neil what do you think of the thought of combining Jefferson and Robertsville? Do you not think that would help out the cohesiveness of the guys when they get to HS? I know Maryville has one Middle School (Jr High) and so do a lot of other schools. I know WB recently went to one altogether. I doubt it would ever happen, but I think it would be better for the kids when they got to HS.

It should have been done a long time ago.  I would have built a brand new HS and combined the MS on the old campus.  Definitely a plus for sports.

I think so too. I definitely think it hurts us. These kids at the other schools have already been playing with one another for 3+ years, while half our ours were rivals. I think it would help tremendously myself.

I really do hope this kid makes it at OR! If he does and that team can hold it together, I really think they can make some noise come playoff time!

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
