SweetScience Posted July 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) Channel 8 naming the players. I think just about everyone knows by now. Please continue to remember these young men, their families, and their teammates in your prayers. These kids and community have been through a lot these last several months. http://www.local8now.com/sports/headlines/Oak-Ridge-football-players-injured-in-Blount-County-wreck-318072591.html Amen to that Nole. The OR football team, community, and families and friends of all involved in both incidents have gone through a lot lately. Only the peace that passes all human understanding that comes from God will be able to heal the wounds, and some wounds will never be fully healed in this life, at least. I pray he sheds his grace and mercy upon the kids involved, as well as their family and friends.

OR nole Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) This is just awful. I feel really bad for the families, the players, and the coaches. How much can this team withstand? As the parent of a player, I can tell you the team is blessed to have the right men on that coaching staff. On the staff you have some coaches of great spiritual strength, some that teach and mentor great character when no one else can fill that role, some that are young and just great older brothers to the kids and a head coach that truly shows great caring for each player. It will take all of that to hold this together. This team is a family. They are tight. They'll be OK.

froshpop Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 I agree, they will be okay. They truly are a family and will pull together for their teammates. The community is behind these guys. Keep praying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand they practiced yesterday but Gaddis was at the hospital. I hear he's been there almost constantly. I wonder when the next practice is and if he will be at practice. I hope he is at practice because that will mean he's comfortable enough to leave the hospital. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

froshpop Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 These are children...like mine and yours. Keep praying for their physical healing. Don't forget to pray for their emotional healing, especially the driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OR nole Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 If anyone could use some good news......looks like the Cats will get a good junior skill position player transferring in. Very close to a done deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
