OAK RIDGE 2017 FOOTBALL

[SdotBears]

Dolly paid for it.

All the ads starsnbars garbage company bought was a big help in paying for the jumbotron

I am officially the slowest, most dim witted person on CoachT. I did not get this post for several days. I just stared at Dolly and recalled the HUGE crush I had on her as a kid.

Oak Ridge I hate to tell you but football is still the king. You guys just won your region. Also your football games are pretty full because of your schedule this year.  DB, Farragut, Anderson Co. were all at home.  Basketball games are practically empty for you to have such a good team. There is no teams in your region that can excite a fan base to come except maybe Clinton your rival. I came a game and it was a yawner.

Most of our basketball games are blowouts, so people stay home. Kinda like Maryville in football we're a victim of our own success. But, you can bet during the postseason the crowds will start flowing in. Edited January 31, 2017 by SweetScience

Yes. The Fulton game last year @ Wildcat arena, as well as the David Crockett game were standing room only. People from all over East TN came out.

Tee will be signing at lunch today at the high school.  According to Clemson's football website his papers are already in.  He is listed as a signee.  Does anybody know of other Oak Ridge players sign to play college football today?

I didn't realize that Moore was already a senior. Time flies. Moore was a terror as a short sprinter. Not much as a football player. Seems like there was a physical issue, shoulder maybe. Always glad to see kids like him succeed at the next level.

 

OR has had a succession of great sprinters--Short, Moore, Hardy, Graham. As good or better a record at sprinting as any other school in the area. What will Graham do this spring? 10.9 or better in the 100? 22.0 in the 200? I would think that a kid like him might be a jumper also, but I've never seen a long jump or high jump result for him.

Aw, he was pretty good @Football I thought. Not the best RB we've ever had by any means, but he was a threat to take it the distance at any time and was a tough kid. Made All Region if I'm not mistaking? But yeah, he had a nagging shoulder injury that bothered him his whole career. It would pop out of place at least 1 time a game it seemed.

Maybe look for that this season I hear.

Go to Graham's Twitter page, look for a tweet about Curious Cat and submit your question to him. He will respond pretty quickly.
