Revenue has dried up. At this point, people are writing for local papers not to pay the bills, but simply for the love of writing. As a result, it's awful to see what has happened to prep sports coverage in the area. It's nearly non-existent in print locally, and outside of Thursday/Friday nights in the fall, it gets minimal coverage on the local news.

The T is a great resource, and it continues to thrive because of Jim and the large network of active users. Also makes me appreciate what the Diamond Clear Media guys are doing, even if some of them are painful to listen to.

How's the coverage? I think I saw that it runs ~7 bucks a month, which isn't too bad.

92, no it hasn't come out yet, not sure if they even bother anymore.  The OakRidger Newspaper is on life support and barely hanging on.  I saw your other post, Jefferson beat Loudon 30-0.  Norris at Blankenship this Thursday 6:00. Yep, Thursday! The game is being played DURING the Oak Ridge at Hardin Valley season  opener!  Same for Robertsville, they are at CAK during the OR game.  Makes zero sense at all, unbelievable lack of attention to detail.  Play the games on Sat., not that difficult!

That is STUPID! Who’s to blame...Gaddis or Mullins? Someone needs to answer for this! I don’t think this has EVER happened!!!!!

Hawks air force will fly too high for the kitty's to catch.

Don’t bet against a wildcat vs a bird!

First games are always full of unknowns, like last years game at OR.  I expect it to be a low possession game, with both sides moving the ball on drives, some scores, some not. Kicking game will be important and can OR stop the run, and can HVA prevent the big explosive plays. Turnovers of course could change the game either way.  Lets hope the Cats send Mark Packer home unhappy.

Two questions...why does Packer dislike OR and why did Gaddis agree to a TV game with Packer???????

I agree. The Sentinel is awful if you like high school sports. That new website is very good and informative

The home team has the say so on whether to be on tv or not. Gaddis had nothing to say or do with it. As far as why Packer doesn't like Oak Ridge who knows.

Oh and Joe and David will be at Pizza Inn Wednesday night at 8:00 with live on the air talk show stuff. Probably about Oak Ridge Football and maybe something about Hardin Valley.

I do not think Coach Gaddis is as powerful as you make him out to be.

Gaddis has nothing to do with the middle school schedules.  This falls on the Admin. at JMS and RMS.  Last year, the same thing happened when OR played on a Thursday, but last year  JMS moved their game to Sat.  Not sure why they couldn't get it done this year.  It is unfortunate.

Pretty sure there is a HS soccer game Thursday night.
