Great victory for the Cats tonight. Came out and took care of bizness. I don’t see us beating Catholic, but we’ll lace ‘em up and give it a go.

I agree and love winning any game.I will never take winning games and district titles for granted.AndIm ready for the Catholic game because it will be great to see if we can hang and play with the best.I think Catholic is as good as any team we would face in playoffs.Houston seems to be really good but I wouldnt think its a big difference.I remember watching KC vs IMG and I was more impressed with BJ Edwards than Jaden Springer.Edwards is a heck of a player

Fair enough, but you did insinuate that we’d have a better chance at winning state if we played either in the regular season. Yeah, I’d love to see it too, but like I said, I understand why it doesn’t. We had a very tough road both years we had our chances to win. Not much you can do about that. And that’s great about Bearden but we played East in 16-17 and almost won without arguably our best player at the time. Neither of those East teams Bearden played were as good as the East team in 16-17, IMO.

That East team in 16-17 was unreal.I wouldnt swear to it but I thought they was ranked 2 in nation when we played them.They had beat Montverde Academy twice that yr.Montverde is always unreal and that yr they had RJ Barrett,L.Black(UNC),M.Carr who is avgs about 20 a game at Minnesota.One guy is at Gonzaga and just about the whole team from top to bottom goes D1 every yr and East beat them twice.That A.Lomax was a heck of a player

Personally, I am impressed with individual Catholic players. However, I am more impressed with Oak Ridge as a team.

This is why I am going to go with the Wildcats in a game kept in the 50s...OR   57    KC    54.

Catholic won 70-58. Catholic’s two leading scorers BJ Edwards 20 ppg and Blue Cain 17 ppg average 7 and 5 assist per game, sounds like a team to me especially on defense. Oak Ridge is a very talented team. Good luck the rest of the season.

Too bad we let y’all have that 10-0 or so spurt to pull too far ahead of us! Before that it was a awesome nip & tuck game. I was pleased with our performance overall though. Great effort by both teams. Catholic is extremely talented and deserved to win. I could definitely see them bringing home the gold ball again. Best of luck.

I hope BJ Edward's and Blue Cain are both Vols one day.

Yep we were right there with them until on 4 straight trips down the court they scored and we didn't got down by 10 and couldn't ever catch up. That's what happens when you come up against a really good team.

Thanks for the well wishes.

OR dismantles a good Cleveland team tonight 74-56. Good bounce back game after a tough loss to Catholic.

I’d love to see a home and home series with Oak Ridge every year. In the long run, I think it would benefit both teams. Seems like we just travel to you guys every time. Maybe Aaron needs to check Google maps to find Cedar Bluff. LOL

The last time I went to Catholic gym it seemed quite small, especially for a game of that magnitude, if it were to take place in a normal year. From what I seen it may be a good thing they’ve all been held at the Wildcat Arena, but maybe my eyes were deceiving me? A series would be fun though, I agree.
