To Former44,

      Your post is so well stated that you bring credit to yourself and FHS. Tonight is going to be special for all high school fans and not just in Oak Ridge. We also have Aluminum Foil vs Murville, High Flying Falcons from Fulton vs the Panthers on the Prowl in Powell and many other rivalry games.

Enjoy all. RWR!

Thank you, Willie.

I would also like to thank both you and SS for your kind comments regarding the passing of former Farragut player Lee Van Dyne. Although I didn't know Lee or his family personally, I know there will be some heavy hearts on the Farragut sideline tonight – not only for Coach Courtney, but for several of the assistant coaches who either coached or were teammates of Lee when he played. I know we will all keep them in our thoughts and prayers.

I had intended to post a couple of thoughts about the game, but some recent news seemed more important to share with Farragut fans and area high school football fans alike who might want to know and r

Sorry SS. I have been so busy with work and my two youngest children that I haven’t had time to post, or even to read for that matter, on the board very often. Farragut has a lot of new faces,

Breakdown: From the 1970s until 2005, Farragut was only ever able to beat Oak Ridge 3 times. 1993 was the only year Gaddis lost to Farragut his first time at OR. From 2006-2011, Farragut won every

 If you live near Oak Ridge go to the game and support the teams, cheerleaders, dance teams, bands and student sections.

If you live far away or cannot make it to the game go to CoachT's schedule page and click on either OR or FHS schedule page. You will find a link to Farragut's football web page and how to watch the game live streaming.

Good post Govolsknox.

There is good news on the Thompson injury. The original six week prediction was from game one. However, Coach Gaddis said on his TV show Wednesday night that the OR team doctor said CT was ahead of schedule in his rehab so he might be back before game seven.

As for #13 it is no secret that his ability to run is better than his passing game. However, I have been impressed with his ability to find WRs while on the move. You will recall his TD pass to #1 in game two after being pressured.  I think #13 is capable of leading OR with passing and his running. Last week, the game plan was to run the football. Coach Gaddis said we marched down the field for a TD using the same running play almost every play. 

Good luck to CAK. 

RWR!

Thanks to Bounder and WTW for the info. As an OR alum who lives in Ktown, It is harder for me to get info except from good folks like the ones on this board. I was able to catch game one on the tube, and was present for 2 and 3. I'll be at the Ship tonight as well.

Really glad to hear #7 is ahead of schedule; I hope that maybe that means game 4 or 5. As a long time OR season ticket holder who later split time as my kids grew up at CAK, I've been fortunate to watch some great high school QB play over the years, and the DB game was some of the best QB ground and air combined execution I've seen, going back to Todd Helton for Central and several OR QBs over the years. It appears that if OR can get some of that combination going tonight, it is going to be a hard offense to stop. I believe the OL has to continue to come together for this offense to reach it's potential. I'm excited to see how we match up against a very good Farragut team.

I'm concerned how the defense will match up against Farragut, but speed is something you can't teach and OR's defense has it.

Fulton played Powell last week 21-10.   Fulton plays Austin East tonight.

Ugh what a frustrating game. Missed 3 wide open touchdown passes. We catch 1 of those we win. That simple. Congrats to Farragut, but we let this one get away. Can't drop wide open TDs and expect to beat good teams.

That is a good point SS. I have no doubt that Coach Gaddis respects Coach Courtney. I hate Farragutless but even I know Coach Courtney is a special man and a great leader of young men.

Yeah, how couldn't you like Eddie Courtney? That man is a class act.

Well, that was a really entertaining, hard fought high school football game.  As I figured, the Admirals were 1or 2 scores better than OR.  Still, it wasn't easy.  OR has some great athletes!  That QB is so elusive!  I wish Coach Gaddis and his guys luck the rest of the year.  As for the Ads, the offense played pretty well, but the D gets credit for this win.  To hold that bunch of athletes to one score on offense was phenomenal and took FarraGUTS!!!  Go ADS!!!

Yeah saw him come off the field with his left shoulder kinda hanging. We left too many points on the field that should have been on the scoreboard. Man what a crowd, looked almost like standing room only, been a while since I've seen that big a crowd. ... guess we paid the light bill tonite. haha

WWA shirts went to 15, 44 and 56. Course we could have given a bunch more out, it's hard to choose sometimes. So many good players. Dang I hate to lose to Farragut almost as much as much I hate to lose to Campbell County. Oh Well wasn't a district game just hurt our pride!

Yeah, you hate to lose, especially when you know you should've won. Hats off to the Guts though. They made the plays and we didn't. Man, poor #9 will have nightmare's tonight. It's ok kid, forget it and come back next week and get a TD. Farragut ended up winning state after they lost to us a few years back, so we are good.

      A lot of people don’t realize how valuable JMO was. QB, safety, punter and holder on pat’s. Kid did it all. I fully believe if he was healthy Dburg would have made it to the ship last year.

      school closing in Shelby county

      By TheTruthHurts22 · Posted

      For perspective the county school I’m associated and graduated from only has 7,600 people in the entire county with a median age of roughly 47. That’s not very many 14-18 year olds to choose from. I think the football team had 25-28 kids or around there.  On the other hand Shelby County has 916,000+ with a median age of 36. This isn’t just about Shelby county, but all the big ones with huge economic advantages!  An urban/rural split would benefit tons of smaller schools that have to compete with counties with 120x the amount of people. Especially the ones who can pick and choose their players from a pool like that!   I also agree with Pujo about charter and magnets and they will eventually be phased into the private divisions because it is obviously an advantage plus all the funding! Add that county schools can’t go recruit outside of their county like charters and magnets!
