If Rhea county had all the talent that has went elsewhere and most importantly all the talent that is still walking the halls playing this year and next year it could have been the best 2 years of football in the history of the school. Mind blowing how coaches let this happen 

No doubt about it. The coaches didn’t let it happen, they made it happen. They had to run some off so they could play who they wanted to no matter the cost. Just not sure if we should call it daddy ball or booster ball or both. What’s mind blowing is the administration that has let this happen.

Man you are a joke! Assuming that coaches ran players off. I have no idea who left, but in most cases when kids are not playing it's because they don't wont to put in the work or parents get upset and wont let them play. Or in your assumption transfer. It is a team sport not a me sport. But anyhow, I will be there supporting the boys in Green and Gold like I have for the past 30+ years!

Willie has been posting on Twitter so I assume he's ok. I'll message him and let him know you guys are asking about him.

So, tell me Eagle's fans. Why in the h e l l would a kid from Rhea Co dip down and wanna play for a tiny school like Meigs Co? Weird.

There are some Rhea Co ties at Meigs for sure. Coach Fitzgerald is a Rhea Co guy. He played and coached here. Coach Fitz is a very good coach and he is building a nice program at Meigs and has a very good shot a winning a state title this year and probably next year too. That success that Meigs has had is very attractive and pulled some players and their parents over there. I know about some of the players and their situations. Some left for playing time. One last year got kicked off the team and got a second chance over there. And yes some didn’t like the coaching staff so they left for Meigs. It is what it is. Rhea has benefited from players from surrounding counties moving here to play in the past, it’s just we are on the other side now.

Gotcha. Makes sense. I didn't realize Meigs was that good.

Oak Ridge fans and the OR team are excited about a playoff game in less than 24 hours and your only focus is to be sarcastic and negative. Why don't you take your sorry attitude somewhere else, bladerunner? You don't like the coach, although pretty immature to conduct yourself on here the way you do, we all get that. But if you also don't like the team, just stay the heck off of here. Get on the Clinton thread or the Farragut thread. You must be a miserable person and your goal is to spread your misery!

Coach Gaddis has led the Wildcats to a 5-5 playoff record since his return to Oak Ridge the past 5 seasons. And in 4 of those 5 seasons, Oak Ridge had the incomparable Tee Higgins.

    • 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.
