That's completely different money. But I'm glad this coach got vindicated. Sorry state of affairs in sports in Oak Ridge. Too many coaches quitting.    

What needs to happen is the superintendent should have to pay whatever the jury awarded because he was an idiot.  He may not have the money but you could sure garnish his wages and make him feel the pain.  If the courts would start doing this and stop allowing these administrators  to hide behind the county governments much of this foolishness would stop.

On a positive note "The Ship" now has 35 yards of dark and light green strips each 5 yards wide on it. So it's happening ..... artificial turf! 

Go to the Oak Ridge Wildcat Football Facebook page to see a bird's eye view of how the field looked like today. Still need numbers and end zone lettering. Watch with the sound up so you can hear the fight song.

According to     oakridgefootball.net    Oak Ridge and Maryville will scrimmage August 9 @ Blankenship Field. The Wildcats also scrimmage William Blount on August 2 @ WBHS. Then OR takes on Alcoa, Heritage and the Blount County All Star Cheerleaders to wrap up the Blount County Preseason Tour of Champions. Okay, I made some of that up but which is real and which is phony bologna.

Clemson news...You Knoxville area fans probably already know but former Knox. Catholic star WR Amari Rodgers hurt his ACL on Tuesday. it is weird because I pray a lot that Tee Higgins stays healthy.

You get to come play on WB's natural surface. Best grass in the area.

Oak Ridge used to be the dominant sports program in the area and one of the pre-eminent programs in the state, but not any more. It’s been a while since OR won anything.

    • during the 2nd round of the playoffs last year against Milan, Gray partially tore his meniscus. He had a minor repair around Thanksgiving. Recovery time was minimal and he has been full force for baseball this season. 
    • What do ya’ll think the O/U will be? I would set the line at 2.5 
    • Playing high school sports is a privilege not a right.  The college did not have to rescind the scholarship.  Scholarship offers are pulled all the time for a number of reasons. That was 100% their choice.  A coach can keep, cut, or dismiss any player that they want to without reason anytime they want.  Is that the right way to run a program?? I don't think that it is, but these are the facts of the matter. This case has absolutely 0% chance of going in the plaintiff's favor. Futhermore, I'd imagine that these administrators and the coach are a part of some teaching or coaching organization that will cover at least 1 million dollars each in legal fees. Obviously the kid and her family feel like there were "damages" thus the lawsuit.  Unfortunately, the law is not on their side in this case.  
    • Maryville will recapture the loses from last year against West, Bradley and Farragut. The Bearden game will be the tough one but I look for the wheels to come off that ride somewhere down the road because of all the crap that goes on there. I know to many parents there and some of the things I've been told and some of the post a few of them have made on facebook. They all can't be liars.
    • If Heritage moves down and Alcoa moves up the best thing for Heritage is to do what William Blount did when theystopped playing Maryville or meet certain defeat. Honestly can't see Alcoa not moving up the way the county is growing. Might be in the Mountaineers best interest to stay in 5A because none of those teams on their schedule are anything close to Alcoa.
