If you had of told me we would’ve made it to Cookevegas after the Farragut game, I would’ve told you you were fulla sh$&, but I’ll be dam$&@$ if our boys didn’t prove me wrong! Guys, I’m sorry for being a terrible fan (this is to our players) for not having confidence in you, but thank you to he$& and back for proving me wrong!! You too coaches!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, Gaddis always says that’s the reason he coaches at OR, because the expectations are always so high, so I’ll settle with that!!

I really thought 3-7 or 4-6 was realistic. I can't quite put my finger on what exactly turned it around or even when it happened. I think Gaddis did a masterful job keeping things together rather than allowing a 3-7 or 4-6. I think he is the perfect leader for the program and he has a great defensive coordinator that he allows to coach. The players love Gaddis and Gaddis loves Oak Ridge. There were fans who wanted him gone after the Farragut game or West game but I think he just pulled of the best coaching job of his career. The guy still has fire, he has grit, and he has just led his team to the state championship game. Summit may be great but OR will have a chance because of the great defense that we play, our great coaches, and a very determined group of players. I'm very proud of my town and this team! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCfan Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 Congrats Oak Ridge! RWR Wow! Great ballgame! And 2 great defensive performances. Momentum is such an important part of high school football and the face mask call was really bad. It would have been interesting to see how things would have played out if the correct call would have been made but I believe Oak Ridge was the best team on the field tonight and would have prevailed in the end. Oak Ridge didn’t have a great offensive game tonight but a lot of that was South Doyle’s defense. Bring back a gold ball Wildcats! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at the game so I haven't seen the replay of the facemask penalty and while I'm an OR fan through and through, I thought it was a terrible call on the interception by Turner that they gave to SD. The replay may have shown it to be a good call but as I watched it in person, it looked awful 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m with CW, I can’t comment much on the face mask call, but most on here that weren’t at the game who watched on TV said it was a bad call, so maybe it was. I agree about the INT call that didn’t go our way that CW mentioned too though. It sure looked to me like we made the INT on that play, but I guess I won’t know unless I watch the replay. Thanks again, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweetScience Posted November 28, 2020 Report Share Posted November 28, 2020 And before I forget, hats off to that SD defense. It may be the best I’ve seen all year, including West. The SD fans should be extremely proud of the fight their guys showed tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with all you said.If you go back after West game a lot of us was wondering if we could get to 5-5 or not.Its been a work in progress replacing our center.Its amazing that we have fought through when the Oline had so many injuries and that was the one spot we couldnt afford to have any.No matter what happens at State this team will go down in history.What a 3 week run beating 3 good teams and 2 shutouts and our best offensive game in a long time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the replay it appeared to me the ball hit the ground before either guy maintained possession, as they rolled over Turner pulled It into his chest. Don’t get me wrong- Every play counts, this one was around midfield and could have impacted the outcome had Oak Ridge been ruled the INT.
