Anyhow about tonight.  I keep hearing the Clinton qb #10 quit and they are playing little Thackerson at qb.  If you look at a different HS football website they have removed #10 from the roster.  If true,  a Thackerson running the wing T is quite comical.  

92, is there any truth to this?

They have opened it up since #8 has been playing. And I'm pretty sure the older #8 run the wing at Carson Newman 8-)

 STILLNUM1, I am glad you posted the update. Thank you.

In my opinion, there is absolutely nothing wrong with OAK RIDGE Middle School  Football  being on Oak Ridge football treads. Especially in this case with it being about OAK RIDGE Robertsville MS vs CLINTON MS during Clinton Rivalry Week. Also, I NEVER check the Middle School Board and would miss all the news about young Oak Ridge football players.

Here is a popular saying among Oak Ridge Football and all OR sports supporters....What do you get when you cross a ROBERTSVILLE RAM with a JEFFERSON EAGLE ( I was an Eagle ) ???  You get an OAK RIDGE WILDCAT.

OAK RIDGE Unite and RWR! Best of luck tomorrow night to both teams.

Thanks Willie

Oak Ridge looked pretty bad.Mainly the offense.Standing on the fence by some Clinton people and they wanted to know why the Romano kid wasn't getting to play much this yr.Its sad that he is being wasted at WR and you don't even know he is out there half the time.He killed Clinton last yr and like a lot of people cant understand him not getting carries at RB.And Gaddis getting soft in his old age putting in backups when it only 27-7 and your 1st string offense needs work.Then let them score with 33 seconds and Clinton coach starts calling timeouts for some odd reason.Good news is in a big rebuild yr you still beat Clinton and stay on track for playoffs.Also we need to get healthy quick cause we have lost some important guys on defense.Too many drives killed by holding calls and fumbles.Maybe we got it out of our system and will be ready next week.Go Cats.

You keep coaching no matter what the score is. Even if there isn't a chance to come back and win, you don't throw in the towel and quit coaching your team trying to make them better.

Call timeouts with under 30 secs down by 13 and the other team already gave you a break taking the starters out.Who got better by calling timeouts there.I see the point of Clinton tryn to air it out and score late but the timeouts after that made no sense.

Thackerson is going to be a good one if they let him do his thing.  Its not the wing T. He can play.

We need to be able to get a few first downs when we have a lead.   Its ok if your drive ends up in a kick.   Give the defense a few minutes to regroup.  They are playing too many minutes.   Offense is getting better but still too many mistakes to beat a good team, but we are improving.   We need to be sharp and take care of business against Karns.  

Thoughts and prayers tonight for our #18.

    • 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.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
