Time to get this tread rolling. RWR!

Bryan College is trying to become Oak Ridge South. They signed two Wildcats for this season and have now offered PG Levert Smith. I'm sure Levert will get more offers. Go Bryan Lions, ROAR!

They're building a good program on both the men and women's side.

Be interesting to see how we do against Lebanon on the 25th. We have a loaded schedule this year with Fayette-Ware and Blackman just to name a few. Coach AG has never shied away from stiff competition. I love that. It only helps us in the long run. I'm excited to see a whole bunch of new kids for the most part. Tee, Bush and Tajion are finally gone, unfortunately. I bet the other teams are happy about that though. It seemed like they were here forever, they will be missed, but we gotta keep on keeping on. It's what we do in the Ridge!

I just saw on twitter that 6' 4" Caleb Martin is going to play this season and a 6' 3" player ( I forgot the name, maybe Caldwell or Stephenson, I will get it later) is going to play for the first time since his freshmen year.

I want to go on the record that OR will return to State and Lavert Smith will be a main reason.

Very glad to hear Caleb is playing. That's a huge bonus. We sure could've used him last year for added depth. He's a really good basketball player, too. Excited to hear that. Seth Caldwell is the kid you're thinking of. He played as a freshman, but didn't play the past two years. I believe he;s the son of Marcus, if you remember him years ago. Another member of the famous OR Caldwell clan. Big get.

SS you are right it is Seth. I just saw a tweet by him and he says he is 6'5:, Also, I keep spelling the PG Smith first name wrong. It is Levert no Lavert.

At the half, Oak Ridge is ahead of Brentwood...Marcus Smith (who I don't know) is the leading Wildcat scorer.

RWR, YES!  Oak Ridge opens the season with a 64 - 40 victory over Brentwood. Marcus Smith drops in 19 and Seth Caldwell 16. Neither player played against Brentwood in the State Tournament last season. This to me means Oak Ridge has reloaded and is not rebuilding.

    • 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.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
