If Bailor and Trusley have  an off night and OR capitalizes than it'll be close with an upset change. Powell to me has talent all over the field but they go as they go. As they get deeper into the playoffs teams with the same speed and athletes will give them trouble.  

I wish at times that Trusley would throw more underneath routes.  He has a great long ball, but that seems to be his only throw, and all he looks for?  I think the key to Powell's playoff games, is to keep feeding those 3 RB.  The O-line is tough, and those backs mix it up well.  I would run 80 percent of the time if I wear Powell.  Cause teams are going to star keying on the deep ball more, and I don't know if Trusley can complete or read the underneath routes,  Just my opinion

I agree, I would like to see them throw those short/intermediate passes a bit more. With as many deep balls as Trusley has thrown, and with his WRs' ability to go up and get a lot of them, there's certainly an opportunity to throw underneath.

West did a pretty good job defending the run last week, both between the tackles and on the outside. That's the first time all year that Powell has had a tough time running the football, but they got some big plays in their passing game which was just enough to overcome all of those penalties.

this Game can go multiple ways! The secondary is the difference of how confident the offense will play imo! I’m afraid Powell could torch us in the air due to multiple receivers across the board. If it happens Early and fast I see a bad game for oak ridge. If oak ridge gets stops in the air I believe this game will be close! Last week offense I saw I like so I believe oak ridge offense will move the ball this week if add more plays with same package and Johnson returning. That offense is hard to stop and I love Romano back in his true element clearly it showed

I agree with your opinion on this game. It certainly could go a lot of ways. I believe Oak Ridge has a chance and will win but the Wildcats barely beat Powell last year and this Panther team is a lot better. My hope is a win but I will take a game that OR can use to get better prepared for the playoffs. RWR! 

Good luck Cardinal and Gray. Cheer like insane Wildcat fans if you go. I may have missed something but it seems to me that the CoachT OR fans got along well this week. Proud to be an Oak Ridge fan and proud of our team.

    • 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.
