Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking. He must be talking about the IFL Bearden team. Knox, how did FHS score 41 on West?

Well, Farragut has decided to disrespect VictORy City and make our Mighty Wildcats Homecoming fodder. I have NEVER liked FHS and this just adds to my fire. Kick their butts! RWR! For what it’s worth, I don’t think it was intended with any disrespect to Oak Ridge. We have, I believe, three away games in a row after this so it’s just timing.

And because the last home game is reserved for Senior Night. So in this case it would make more sense to have it 10/15 vs Bradley Central. So, maybe just a little disrespect intended. No. I'm just kidding! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I'm just kidding! Lol. I’m pretty sure Farragut usually does theirs in September. Now you have me trying to remember. I know it was the sept 14th game in 2018 because I had just had a baby the night before and was watching from my hospital bed on my laptop and it was one of only two games I’ve missed since we’ve lived here. I think we always do ours pretty early in the season tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think either team ever thinks it’s going to be an “easy” one even a “should be okay” one. I feel like both go in knowing they may be in for a heck of a fight and that’s one of the things I love about that rivalry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't find it on Diamondclear The points FHS scored on West were largely through the air. Pretty sure both the QB and our WR (Corum) set individual game records at the school for yards thrown and received. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oridgecat Posted September 9, 2021 Report Share Posted September 9, 2021 Yeah, I just watched it. There were a ton of passing yards, but FHS ran it well too. Looks like a typical FHS team to me, excellent run/pass balance, good FG kicker, and don't turn the ball over. We will have to play our best game thus far to stay in it.

Cactus Jack Posted September 9, 2021 Report Share Posted September 9, 2021 Farragut has played well in losses although totally out classed by Maryville, but so is everyone else. The key to this game is can the Oak RIdge offense sustain drives and score, not turn the ball over and use some clock doing it. Farragut is good on offense, the quarterback throws the ball at a 68% completion rate, and they can run it too. As usual, they have a strong kicking game, so hope we have enough of a lead at the end not get beat by a field goal, and we probably will be starting on the 20 after each kickoff, the good news is they probably will have to as well. The New Sentinel picked Farragut 35-21, so they don't respect us. We need a better game than Clinton to win over there. Like to get this one, we have been on the down side of the Farragut rivalry the last few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what that is, but last week was not good at all. We can't win if establish the line of scrimmage and throw the ball. We have too many athletes on the offensive side of the ball not to score lots of points. And all season I believe we have scored 4 total TDs with one being #13 grabbing a ball over a defender and out running the others to the endzone. It was a fluke play that wasn't truly designed. We can't be scared to throw it more. I think we threw the ball 5/6 times last week with one of them being another pick 6 that was called back, maybe that is the hesitancy to throw more? We might need to be looking towards different schemes, plays, or playbooks. We should have undoubtedly won all three games. Defense played well all games, second game gave up two big plays and that was it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rollnoles Posted September 10, 2021 Report Share Posted September 10, 2021 (edited) Farragut always plays there homecoming games early in the year just happened to be Oak Ridge. As for the West game West didn’t have one of the better players on defense in that game the Mich State commitment which he plays free safety. He got hurt in the first game with Bearden which he is out for the year. Farragut has really struggled on defense this year. Offense well got a good receiver and QB but not much on the running game and the offense line not as physical as in the past.
