There are 16 out of 36 of these guys still on the roster.  The key to next year is going to be accountability in the off season weight training program.  First, attendance has to mandatory.  Second, t

One of the things hurting football today is the fact that few of the children today want to work that hard for ANYTHING. Think about it.  We as parents have spoiled the s.....ah.....tuff out of t

I never had any beef with him either until I called out the “Almighty” Powell Panthers for recruiting on here and then he went off. Keep in mind this is the same Powell he has “no association with any

Thoughts during the off-season on our Wildcat Football team.  Our undefeated freshman team from a few years ago are now seniors... We have several exciting younger players to watch... With offseason training and hard work how far will it take us? 

This is the first post in the Oak Ridge High School 2020 Football thread.

To answer the question, the team would take us to the State Championship game TONIGHT!

Not trying to be a jerk just trying to be realistic...

How hurt was # 1 all season??? Last summer I thought he was a sure All-State player. He certainly did not play up to that standard. My guess is he was hurt all season long and at times very injured. 

On the one hand I understand you keep the opposing team in the dark about an injured player. On the other hand by not telling how serious an injury is you leave the player open to unfair comments.

RWR!

Not sure if he was hurt all year long, but of course he was early on in the season. Even though he rushed for over 1000 yards, most of those yards came against Karns and other bad teams. Our offensive line certainly didn’t help matters, but I will agree with you that I was not overly impressed by him this past season. That’s not to say that I don’t think he didn’t put forth the effort. I hardly think that, but there was just something missing. I’m glad he has another year left though.

Did anybody wake up Monday thinking Coach Gaddis might retire and Coach Minor would be elevated to Head Coach???

Coach Gaddis did a fantastic job this season. He did everything he could have and I will always think of him as the Coach of Oak Ridge. But can he repeat the job he did in 2020? I don't know.

Coach Minor is an Oak Ridge guy to the bone. He is ready to step up and I sure hope it is with Oak Ridge and not a rival school.

These are just things on my mind.

The day Gaddis steps down from coaching OR is probably the day he dies, or is on his death bed. As long as his passion is still there, and it is, he will continue as the head coach. I don’t see him losing that fire anytime soon. I’m sure him taking us back to state has only made his hunger stronger to wanna get back again.

      $750,000 Lawsuit Files Against Warren County School District

      By BDURHAM · Posted

      I am going to assume you are not a lawyer, and most reasonable lawyers would not say the lawsuit has a zero percent chance in court. I agree with you that a coach has the ability to dismiss anyone from a team. However, Ms. Winfree was never presented with the opportunity to present her witnesses and have them tell the coaches and administrators what they heard. A lawyer could better explain the lawsuit and the grounds to you. Before you start making wild assumptions about the lawsuit, would it be too much to ask that you do a little legal research first? The lawsuit is dealing with due process, loss of property, and defamation.   You can read the lawsuit here: https://bdnewsletter.files.wordpress.com/2024/04/doc-1-complaint-filed-4-18-2024.pdf

      The administration took the path of backing the coach and whispering to people that the kid was a problem. The reality is that the kid was never a problem on a team or classroom. The player says she has witnessed who back her not saying the f-word.  Why did the coach make that story up and other stories? I am not Sigmund Freud and do not have an answer for the ex=-coach's behavior..

      I agree I don't think it will go to trial either, but I feel like that will be because no judge would deem this to warrant a law suit... If the school board settles, they loose and all coaches and schools loose too.
