Is there any full game film of Oak Ridge vs. HV?

Not that I can find and pretty sure there isn't one. Hardin Valley usually streams their games on diamondclearmedia BUT since the game was at Oak Ridge, it was denied to stream the game due to Oak Ridge's no streaming games policy. Now, I never knew OR had such a rule since I have seen home games streamed and on TV in the past. Maybe someone can explain why the game wasn't streamed.

If I find the HVA vs OR game online I will let you know.

Be nice to know what other schools have that policy. I knew that D-B was unfriendly to streaming but didn't know Oak Ridge was. I guess what happens in Oak Ridge must stay in Oak Ridge.

What the hay! Just for that, I am picking C. A. K. 24    Clinton 14. 

How do you like them apples?  :thumb:     J/k. .... Dragons 21   C. A. K. 17

I just feel like DB has more speed and a bigger more experienced line. I hope OR proves me wrong and pulls out a win!

Time to renew a long standing Rivalry between the Wildcats and Indians. DB is the winningest football team in Tennessee but Oak Ridge leads in the series.

To get this week off to an interesting start, I found a  7 minute YouTube video of Kingsport vs Knoxville High School from OCTOBER 26, 1945! Very very cool. I guess back in 1945 there was a Knoxville High School. The audio heard on the video is actually from a Pep Rally D-B had in the 1960's. Go to YouTube and search " 1945 Dobyns-Bennett Football. "

I came across this gem while looking for a video of last week's Kingsport win over Tennessee High. Maybe a Indian fan can find a game film for us to watch. Oh, I saw a video clip of the Wildcats coming down the Steps. We are small but that just makes them UnderCats and who doesn't love cheering for an UnderCat? RWR, You Got This!

Yes Willie there was a Knoxville High back in 1945 and they also played Oak Ridge that year. They played until 1951 and new schools Knox East, Knox South, Knox West and Fulton replaced it in 1952.

Have to say that the biggest O-line I ever seen was at OR in 2008.Looked like the dang QB went 240 pounds behind them.I'll go with DB in this game but they do have a spot or two that needs work before the season ends.24-17 DB

Irby (I think was the QB's name that year) and yes, he looked like a FB playing QB.

Thanks Barney! I guess Knoxville East is part of Austin East and Knoxville South is part of South Doyle now.

Back in the late 1970s / early 1980s  Knoxville Doyle's cheerleaders outfits were identical to those worn by Burger King workers. I'd walk by them at Oak Ridge basketball games and order Whoppers with cheese. I was never very funny.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • 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.
