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.

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 :D  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.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
