OR vs HVA (Opening Game At The 'Ship)

It's time to move on from the scrimmage with Maryville. While it was not a good sight at all, it means absolutely NOTHING. It hurt our pride (both fans and team) but has no impact on how this team does this season. How good is HVA, who have they scrimmaged, and how will the 'Cats rebound from the scrimmage?

So, I’m not a football expert. Just a fan, and not early as knowledgeable as many of you so I’m not sure how helpful my response will be. I saw both of HVA’s scrimmages because my nephew plays for them. HVA was clearly dominant in both scrimmages (against Halls and William Blount). I think they are strong at the QB position, and strong at D line. I think their relative weaknesses are O line and maybe the secondary. #7 for HVA is very  fast and very quick. If he gets to the outside, he can be a problem.  The have some good receivers who can make plays. 

I think HVA has a solid chance against OR. That being said, I haven’t seen OR scrimmage and I wouldn’t place a lot of importance on what happened with Maryville in regards to this game. I don’t have a real prediction but I do think that the new OC at HVA was a great hire and will get them right. OR always comes to play tho and in past years, HVA tended to have problems with them so we shall see...

We all know scrimmages are to work on things that need working on. I don't put a whole lot of stock into scrimmages. But the one thing I do put importance into is heart and desire and fight in a team. 

I think Oak Ridge will be just fine. I've seen OR not look good in scrimmages before and maybe even start off slow the first couple of games of the season, but Oak Ridge usually gets better as the season goes along.

Best of luck to you and hope everyone stays healthy!

Thank you 92Dragon. That's nice coming from a Clinton guy. Same to you.

    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say .. 
    • I have a sophomore that can do 177 (preferred) or 192. Sent you an email.
    • speaking of board members how can a man get arrested 12 days ago and still be head coaching a team in TC school system? looks like your right about the tc board members. I bet it would be different if they had a kid on the team
