Catholic vs Oak Ridge: A Rivalry is Born

[SweetScience]

We got f$#@& hosed!

A holding call in the EZ so that's a safety? Whoever made that rule is a effin idiot!

Congratulations to the Irish and their fans. Y'all just had too much in the end and we made way too many mistakes to beat a team as good as Catholic. Our D held up very well, especially with the field position battle on Catholics side most of the night. Very proud of our kids. Tough one to swallow. We had our chances. Keep your heads up Cats.

Good game Cats. Glad they never quit. Made freezing my butt off worth it. Hate they couldn't pull it off.

We put up a great fight against a team nobody gave us a chance to beat, but if we made our 2 XP we missed and didn't get that phantom Safety call, who knows what would've happened? Very proud of our guys. Hard to beat a team with 3 D1 linemen and 2 big ol RBs & a great WR, but we competed well.

Oak Ridge, Congratulations on a VERY good year.

For the Seniors, Thank You!  For the rest, hit the weight room hard Monday!

Not trying to give out any moral victories, but we gave up 162 yards on 42 carries to Catholic. The week before they put up over 400 on the ground on a really good Fulton team, and I remember they put up 300 or so on the ground against Maryville (And Big #31 didn't even play against them) That's something to be proud of.

Came out in the 2nd half and went into the "behind the chains" offense.  We played hard but can't depend on the big play so much. Too many penalties as has been the case all year.

  We'll be back.

GO 'CATS

Brown played against us. We couldn’t stop him.

Definitely deserved to be there. Missed opportunities killed. Penalties... Not getting #68 ejected. Unfortunate but still a good game.

Oh ok, I thought you said he didn't. I must have misunderstood you. He had one good run against us, but we hit him hard and often the rest of the night. The D was swarming. Just let them have way too many short fields. D played good enough to win.
