Is this the game for third place in Anderson County 2019?

No, this is an important Region game that Oak Ridge needs to win to keep third place in the region alive. Now, strap it on and get after the dragons!

OR needs to beat the Dragons and look impressive in doing so!

Oak Ridge has improved since the scrimmage with Maryville for sure after watching them Friday Night. Looks like Clinton is having a tough year and it will only get tougher this Friday. This should be an easy win for the Cats.

You watched the West/OR game? Interested to know what positives you saw from OR in that game?

You didn't ask me but I'll answer. For starters, the kicking game. Extra point/Punts were good. Kickoff coverage was good and a kick to the end zone. Even though he fumbled a punt I like the way Johnson steps up and catches punts. The defense fought hard and Kendall Jackson ran hard. And there were some holes for him to run through initially before they closed up, and the rest he got on his own. The defense created 3-4 turnovers. The better team won but OR fought hard and if not for a few mistakes, could've made it a close game (it was 14-7 midway through the third quarter).  The fact that OR did all of that in a game that it looked OR was overmatched at every position, I think is a huge positive. I doubt OR plays a faster or more physically imposing team all year.

Good analysis and I agree 100% on all points. It’s not all gloom and doom by a long shot. I have seen quite a bit of improvement since the 1st game and that’s what it’s all about.

Just saw parts of it. Going to go back and watch again. I was watching half a dozen games before I ran over to Alcoa at halftime to see a longtime friend of mine get placed into Alcoa's Athletic Hall of Fame. Didn't really care about going to the game and I'm sure the 125 people that came from Pigeon Forge to watch it didn't care to be there either from the looks on some of their faces.

Yeah, I imagine it wasn't a very pleasant experience for the PF fans during that game. I don't even know why Alcoa plays 99% of their games. Well, I know why, but it is pretty useless because the outcomes are determined far off in advance, that's for sure.

    • Winfree's senior year was the season she needed to secure more college interest. That opportunity was taken away from her. A lot of false assumptions can be made about what happened and what the options are. Unfortunately, the former coach and administration did not allow Winfree to have due process. A lawsuit was filed for a reason, and it will run its course by people who conduct discovery and take depositions. Unless the parties settle out of court, a lot of the pertinent issues will come to the public surface. I wrote about many of the issues here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/11/17/grounds-for-investigation-and-suspension/ I interviewed Winfree after she was dismissed from the team and wrote about it here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/12/01/a-new-interview-with-sable-winfree/ Winfree had been on teams in Warren County since the fourth grade and never been dismissed from a team. The real questions are why was Winfree dismissed from the team, and why the administration backed a coach whom they did not rehire.
    • What is the hold up here? I have not heard anything in weeks. Are they waiting for the right person or is something else going on?
    • Per usual, we'll be hard to beat in the regular season, I'm sure. It's the post season that I'm more worried about, specifically the coaches. Maybe they'll be able to make some adjustments that will keep the momentum in our favor. How's Grays recovery coming along?
    • Something don’t add up here a college coach is not going to turn away a good player they need just because they didn’t get along with their high school coach 
    • RR, you might remember. Didn’t someone hide the kicking shoe that game? It seems I remember we had missed a kick the week before, and we needed all the points we could get. We thought we had a better chance going for two, so $?&@$ hid the shoe after the first miss that game. No one on our sideline looked for it very hard.
