The Ridgers @ Fulton

[SweetScience]

Big game! District championship and home field advantage in the playoffs on the line for this one, y'all. Should be a packed house up on the hill in Fulton Friday night to see these 2 historically top notch programs in action. OR leads the overall series 16-1 since their first meeting in 1954. The last time these 2 teams met was in 2008 and the Cats won 21-13. Will probably be the biggest game in East Tennessee I would think next week. Should be a dandy, y'all.

We must play better than we did tonight to have a chance.

Does Willie know that Higgins was at the game tonight?

WHAT!!!!!!! The GOAT was back ( Greatest of All Time ) ? His mom sent me a tweet earlier this  week about his lack of playing time and did not mention this. I guess she is a little weirded out by me LOL   Don't blame her.

I am excited about the Fulton game and I am thinking of writing a special post for the game.

Fulton by 2 scores. Since Coach Gaddis has been back, with all the talent and speed he has had, Oak Ridge has not peaked at the end of the season.

I think we have improved more throughout the season this year more than any other season since he's been back IMO. With that said-after watching the game last night online we better play a lot better than we played against Powell if we're gonna beat Fulton. We kinda reverted back to the sloppy play we had earlier in the season last night. Not sure if that was just lack of focus (looking forward to Fulton) or what, but we can't do those things against Fulton and expect to win there.

I've seen both teams in action. Fulton wins this one by 21+. Not that OR is that bad, but Fulton is that much better.

the loser of this game will have to more than likely go on the road in round 2 and play Catholic, which both teams obviously want to avoid until round 3. I'll say falcons 34-20.
