I think Oak Ridge will be ok. SD didn't look very good other than 21, who obviously ran very well. But like dawgs said, play calling was pretty poor, and 14 was staring down receivers on every pass. What will the Wildcat offense be able to do though...?

It will be interesting to find out

I don't think the defense was underrated...Gaddis talked the defense all the time as well as Packer and anyone who watched OR play. The defense may not be quite as good this year but I bet they will be good. The offense will show up I hope. Not sure why OR always starts so slow but if they do Thursday night, it could get ugly.

I guess I mean to all the people who expect Oak Ridge to be really good again this yr because of what we return.All I hear is how we have all these weapons back but they fail to see all we lost on defense.Even Gaddis in the paper talking about the turning point of last yr was KJ being healthy during back half of yr.But when you look at it the defense got so much better after Farragut ran up and down field all night.This yr we have 2 great LBs and a lot of guys who have to figure it out fast.Good news is we have Minor and he seems to be the best Ast coach we have had.As far as offense goes we have the skill guys if we can block and the QB learns fast.I hope he is fast because he looks small and we need him to hold up

Not just saying this because he is a good friend, but South Doyle losing its DC is going to have a big impact across the river, IMO.  Their offense has been very good over the past few years, but a good DC can be the difference in being very good and being great.  

 

 

Truthfully, Whinery and the SD defense is what has made that program so successful in recent years. It is what kept them in the semi-final game last year and the offensive play calling is what lost them the game. For the past 6-7 years SD has been blessed with phenomenal RBs. Even when Brang was at QB and now Martin, they lean heavily on the run game and it has costed them at times. In order for SD to be as successful as they want this year they need to find the right defensive play caller and allow for Martin to shine a little bit more. Not to mention SD has used the same system and same play calls for the past 5 years. People know what they're doing and putting everything in a RB is going to cost them at the end. Young couldn't do it all and neither can Gary, trust your other weapons.

    • 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 think they have they coach they want close to being done. I guess we will all see how this plays out. I hope the hire a good one. There are some players in the box for the next coach to work with. 
    • Going to grundle Troy Fleming?
    • 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.
