Now, now bounder and bonkers.....we're all on the same team. Can't we all get along? It's actually a good thing when I see OR fans fighting on Coacht...it means the season is approaching! For the record, OR will have a speed deficiency for the foreseeable future...I haven't seen anyone on recent freshmen or JV teams that can go the distance on a long run or long pass.

I think Johnny William's son is going to be an 8th grader for Robertsville.  He looked pretty good as a 7th grader last year.  Outside of him I agree, no J. Grahams or Tee Higgins types on the horizon.

I'm not even sure what state championship OR won 10 years ago. It's been closer to 30 years since OR won one in football and I guess around 60 years in boys basketball (I guess around 20 years in girls basketball). Since you mentioned 10 years, my research shows that in the last 10 years football has won 75% of its games, boys basketball has won 81% of its games, and girls basketball has won 70% of its games. Unfortunately no state championships though in what seems like an eternity. But I would say OR definitely has "winning" programs but definitely isn't the top program in the area. And I think all of the OR fans are more than ready for a championship!

Here is that information. Over the course of many decades, it is impressive.

Kendall Jackson, rising sophomore, has good genetics in the speed department. Looked great in Freshmen highlights on both sides of the ball.  Johnathan Stewart is fired up for the season and has wheels. The Johnson brothers are talented and swift. Rowe and Romano after breaking through the line will be a handful to take down. Finally, our QB Mitchell is a smart runner. As a freshmen he ran wild in the open field. Last season, he focused on the passing game. Maybe this season he will put it all together.

Yes, no Sweet Feet, Pendergrass, Booker and several others but MAYBE we will have players step it up. 

If not, my 55 year old fat #### will suit up.

I think you're gonna like Kendall Jackson. Not sure about his straight ahead speed, but still a good looking back.

I hope you're right and he's ready as a sophomore. The few times I saw him play, I felt like he was a talented back but not exceptionally fast.

    • Shopping? His family is loaded and he's 6'6 I'm pretty sure he could start anywhere in upper East TN,So no need to shop. Word is Witten got caught trying to work him out on campus and some 7 on 7 while playing athletics for Sullivan East. Word got around pretty quick and Someone turned them into TSSAA.
    • Quick update on Jacob -  Jacob celebrated his 16th birthday at Vanderbilt on Tuesday and has been in decent spirits.  His sense of humor has begun to show as he was visited by many friends.  He is swallowing a lot better now and has eaten some of his favorites (Chik-Fil-A and Five Guys).   He is getting prepared to head to Atlanta to the Shepherd Center first thing tomorrow morning.  His family has been waiting on insurance approval. In case you dont know the Shepherd Center it a world class facility and supposedly one of the best in the country for spinal injury rehab.  Praying for perfect results there. Considering the circumstances, Jacob is in decent spirits.  He has some reflexive movement in his legs which I think is probably a very positive sign.  Don't read too much into that just yet as there is no telling what the real prognosis is... just hopeful that is good thing.  I am really just happy that it seems like he has a punchers chance of getting something back.  He is a strong young man and very determined so I think he will fight as hard as he can in physical therapy while down in Atlanta. More than one of you has asked me about an address to send donations.  I know GoFundMe isn't for everyone.  If you want to go that route, you can make a check to "Blackman Wrestling Club" and we will pass anything received directly to the Kinderdines.   Jacob Kinderdine c/o Blackman Wrestling 4836 Trevino Court Murfreesboro, TN  37128 Also, want to thank everyone who has donated so far.  Jacobs dad will take a month off work and stay in Atlanta with him.  They need to learn how to take care of him and do home therapy work..... and surely Jacob will be glad his dad can be there.  All that could not happen without you all.  Depending on what happens, they will probably end up doing some home remodeling in order to accommodate Jacob at their home.  Thanks again. Here's a pic I lifted from Facebook of Jacob on Oxy talking to his Uncle.  LOL
