Darel Middleton Sighting

Here's hoping that the former Panther/Wildcat has finally gotten his life/behavior under control. Apparently he's committed to Tennessee again, and has grown quite a bit (6-7, 290 lbs).

Best of luck to Darel. He had limited success at Oak Ridge but once a Wildcat always a Wildcat. He probably just had to get that nasty Panther blood out of his system in order to get well. TOTALLY kidding, I love to tease other teams but you better not say a negative word about OR or I will go nuclear. Again just kidding. Can't wait until Spring practice to get here.

Oak Ridge has a football team.... who knew? Just kidding. Hope he takes advantage of this opportunity.

Yes, a lot of people are unaware Oak Ridge High has a football team because they are also known as the Tennessee Titans on Sundays. Kidding. I started following Darel on Tweeter last summer and most of his Tweets were about his baby girl and proving people wrong about him. I tweeted a bunch of positive messages to him. I do not like UT in any way but would love to see him be a reason they have football success. I am unclear if he will play this year or will have to wait until 2019.

He will be in juco for the 2018/2019 school year.  Since he was a non-qualifier out of high school he will have to graduate from juco to be eligible to play D1 football, and he is a long, long way from that.

One of the most dominating players I have ever seen in high school around here was Mike Cofer from Rule. He was a defensive lineman and and you would see him in on tackles down the field 30 or 40 yards away and a difference maker. I have always in my mind used him as a barometer and the young man that played at O.R. looked like Tarzan but played like Jane and acted like Cheeta. Guess I seen and heard to much to buy in yet but hopefully he can proves us all wrong.

    • I am going to assume you are not a lawyer, and most reasonable lawyers would not say the lawsuit has a zero percent chance in court. I agree with you that a coach has the ability to dismiss anyone from a team. However, Ms. Winfree was never presented with the opportunity to present her witnesses and have them tell the coaches and administrators what they heard. A lawyer could better explain the lawsuit and the grounds to you. Before you start making wild assumptions about the lawsuit, would it be too much to ask that you do a little legal research first? The lawsuit is dealing with due process, loss of property, and defamation.   You can read the lawsuit here: https://bdnewsletter.files.wordpress.com/2024/04/doc-1-complaint-filed-4-18-2024.pdf  
    • The administration took the path of backing the coach and whispering to people that the kid was a problem. The reality is that the kid was never a problem on a team or classroom. The player says she has witnessed who back her not saying the f-word.  Why did the coach make that story up and other stories? I am not Sigmund Freud and do not have an answer for the ex=-coach's behavior..  
    • I think they have they coach they want close to being done. I guess we will all see how this plays out. I hope the hire a good one. There are some players in the box for the next coach to work with. 
    • Going to grundle Troy Fleming?
    • I agree I don't think it will go to trial either, but I feel like that will be because no judge would deem this to warrant a law suit... If the school board settles, they loose and all coaches and schools loose too.
