That's a big reason why we went to the state that year...and we should've won it. Blew that one but that's another story in itself.

Yeah, let’s not even go there ha. Credit to Ravenwood though, they were tough, but we should’ve won. Oh well, if ifs and buts were candy and nuts....

Wow off a scrimmage. Could Oak Ridge won state championship in last 6 years. YES But so could South Doyle, Henry County, Rhea County, Ooltewah and many others that have great players. At the end of th

Buck up fellas. Chins high. It certainly could be worse. You could be a 6A team with a sub .500 record the past FIVE years in fact your high water mark is 3 wins in 1 season. You could have a coach that the past 2 years has not had any practices during the bye week because he takes a FAMILY VACATION! You could have a coach that hires his cronie bootlicker pals as assistant coaches instead of skilled coaches. You could have an AD that is way more interested in other sports and fat boosters than the welfare and future of the football program and players. When I read this thread It comes to mind how the William Blount Gov players and parents would jump at the chance to trade places with you!  Hang on to your storied traditions. The foundation is still there. Bow your necks, put your shoulders into it and rebuild! Trust me! It could be WAY worse!

Very true! Things could be way worse. I honestly feel for the folks at WB.

Look on the bright side.  Current Head Coach is WAY better than y'alls last one!

He screws up at LaVergne this year I bet you could get him back.   LOL

Scott Blade came before they hired Gaddis back. If LaVergne hadn't fired Stevens by now, not sure if they ever will under current administration

....Willie would bring pizza and beer and we would have a heck of a party.

Oh, I thought of a bright side for the Maryville scrimmage....IT WAS A FREE ACE KICKING.

Blade was not much better than Stevens.  lol

OR went in completely different directions under Stevens and Blade. Stevens inherited a program ready made for a title and turned it into a tire fire. While Blade never won a title at OR, there's nothing in his resume to suggest that it wouldn't happen down the road. 

For someone that's watched alot of football that's a pretty bad comparison

What do y'all think about this...

We beat HVA and things suddenly don't seem so bad?

--Or--

We drop our first three games then run the table to a State Championship. Knoxville Central did that very thing last year.

--Or--

Okay time for y'all to write a positive ending to the season THAT HASN'T EVEN STARTED YET....

 

Willie we actually only started 0-2 but I see where your going. I think OR will be fine but they do have a tough schedule. OR’s biggest hurdle is getting over the hump come playoff time. They battled Catholic to the wire the last two years, now there’s no Catholic but they must go through Powell and Fulton. It can be done

Blade in his second year went to game before the state championship? What are you talking about? That team probably would have won state if didn’t turn the ball over! Lost to Maryville at Maryville in the 4th round! There’s been no team close since blade?!!!

      2024 Heritage Mountaineers

      I will never forget the 1983 Heritage vs Maryville game. I remember driving home and listening to WGAP. Can't remember the announcers name. He asked Coach Story why he kept going for 2? Story told him " Why didn't you ask Renfro that last year"

      2024 Mustangs

      Well nothing new, the Mustangs are really talented again this coming season!  They very well could go undefeated in regular season.  We shall see what happens in postseason.  I think the path to state title game is a little clearer than years past.  I think the Stangs are going to be really good and I think the traditional teams around in 2A are not going to be as strong.  It should be a fun season!

      Way too early 1A favorites 2024

      By Baseball8 · Posted

      I would not put too much stock into the UH over Eagleville. From what I understand they were pretty banged up in that tourney. Catcher was out, they were throwing pretty deep in their bullpen and a few key players were beat up in their infield. Sounds like they are pretty healthy heading into the district tournament. Look at their schedule, they played some really good teams.
