Oak Ridge/Maryville scrimmage

Come on defense, stuff the Rebels.

I'm sure the score will get worse as the lower classes get in, but nice to see our first teamers put up a few tally's. When Graham gets open there aren't many in this state who can run him down.

I hope many of the Maryville fans post on how they think Oak Ridge did after the scrimmage. The Reb fans know their football.

Does Jordan look even faster on the artificial playing surface?

Ain't a clue budroe, I ain't even there, but I'm sure it doesn't slow him down.

I'm pleasantly surprised that we could play with them. It looked to me like both first teams played the first half only and it was 14-14 at the half. Is that what everyone else saw? Our first drive was nice...70 yards and sharp. The secondary is a concern and the offensive line is a concern. Graham needs to get the ball more and I'll bet he does when it's a real game. I'm encouraged but I still hate our early season schedule.

Yes, he was very fast

Glad to see this game get played and not get rained out or on as most feared.  Both teams played some great football tonight. Good luck to the Wildcats this year and looking forward to watching number 30 have a great year.

#24 ran tough. Can't remember one tackler bringing him down. If we can get him going between tackles the outside could open up for Graham. Really a sterling run for the TD. His first carry was for about 30 I  think. Almost took it to the house. OL is getting better as expected and should have gained some confidence with their showing  tonight. Maryville  looked well coached and very explosive on offense.  Heard some solid hits from both defences. All in all a good night of football from two teams who will win their share of games this season.  Thanks Mother Natute.

Nothing to fear, I am confident Maryville only ran their goalline offense and had Jr. High players playing out there.

Very impressed with Simpson this preseason.
