Rivalry Thursday will not carry any Oak Ridge games this season according to Mark Packer. He said he offered OR a game but Coach Mullins declined.

That's good and I mean that with no bad intent. It will be nice to see some new teams on there. It seems Mark Packer picks the same few teams every year. Edited by Governors91

Oak Ridge has played a couple of away games on Thursday night. This year Farragut, Campbell Co. And Fulton could have been Packer choices. Doesn't another station do a couple of Fri. night games?

I think you're right...one station does televise a few Friday night games. Those Thursday night games need to go!

WBIRs cable channel, 10News2 does Friday night games.  Russell Biven does play by play.  

 

But the issue there is that unless one is in Knox County and has Comcast as his/her TV provider, chances are you wont see the game.  10News2 isn't part of the channel lineup on DishNetwork (which I have), Direct TV, and I don't think on Charter Cable.

We get it on Charter in Blount County. You either are watching a repeat of the news all day long or sometimes they have something else. The main channel is 9 in Blount County and the other is 10 if you missed the news and like to see it later.

I don't know if this will be the case again in 2017, but most of the games on 10News2 last season were broadcast over the air (channel 10-2). Just need an antenna to watch.

If the home team chooses to play on Thursday, Gaddis, Mullins or any traveling team has to roll with it. Pretty sure on this.

Well, I learned something from your post. I figured both teams had to agree to move a game to Thursday for TV but you're saying that the home team makes the call. I've cussed Gaddis under my breath every time we've had a Thursday TV game, home or away. Now I can just cuss him for the home Thursday TV games.

    • Yeah they both should be good games whoever matches up with who. Wartburg has beaten Oliver Springs all 4 times they’ve played this year but they have been close games. I believe Wartburgs first sectional appearance was last year when they went to North Greene. Good luck to you all!
    • What did they do this year? Every other year, I’ve gone to one. It’s been a little scrimmage and then a bunch of games like a quarterback throwing challenge, O line versus D line, push-up challenge, etc.    But not surprised, nothing new that the program has been on the decline since they lost their recruiting middle school coach. The baseball coach still does his fair share, but he recruits good baseball players. Not good football players, and decent baseball players, definitely nothing like the middle school coach could do, he left for a middle school job down near Cleveland high school a few years back.
    • Never in my life have I seen a team in a scrimmage against their own defense look so lost and confused. The defense didn’t look much better, the coaching staff can’t keep their anger together, not only with the players but also with their other coaches. I feel awful for those players. None of them look like they wanted or should’ve been out there, but for the grown men on the sidelines acting like fools, it's just embarrassing to the Farragut name and reputation. I now see why they chose not to live stream this on their YouTube channel.
    • We could sure use some math teachers country wide. Ever go into a store or restaurant and the bill comes to $9.97 and you give them a ten dollar bill and 2 pennies because you wanted a nickle back and then the meltdown starts and the next thing two more people have to come and help figure it out and the place comes to a complete halt. I see this everyday and it's a sad representation of all these schools allowing these kids out the door to get shortchanged the rest of their life.
