I remember that OR team started either all or almost all seniors...right? How many players from last years team is back this season? Do you expect OR to be a Region finalist team? Returned PG.Also brought back L.Searcy who hit some big 3s in that DB game and he has had a great season.Coach Green always shocks me but I would say DB would be the favorite vs Oak Ridge.One of our least talented teams since Green took over but we have had some great teams under him.I would say either Oak Ridge,Beardon or Farragut will be in region finals.All 3 really close Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember back when I was growing up (80’s/early 90s) them and OR were in the same district and used to have some pretty hotly contested games back then. I can’t recall them having what I’d call a really good team since then, but I obviously haven’t much kept up with them either. You’re right about this team being the least athletically gifted in a while, but they make up for it playing tremendous team ball and really good defense, for the most part. Just a lot of solid HS basketball players. The twins epitomize team ball, as well as some of the others, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilleTheWildcat Posted January 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 Both STILLNUM1 and Sweet Science are correct. I especially liked Sweet's take on the twins. STILLNUM1 take on the talent level caused some concern but then I thought about it more and the Wildcats do play a lot of team ball and do not rely on individual play. The exception being Kell Slater who can take most guards to the hoop without much help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinton hasn’t beaten OR since 2009 or 2010 - Can’t remember exactly. This is definitely their best chance since then. Clinton has really good guard play, pretty much every one of them can drive it to the hoop off the dribble, or pop a 3 from behind the arc. It’ll be a heck of a challenge for OR, especially @ Clinton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Clinton cant win this yr with all those SRs they just need to give up.Its the best Clinton team in a long time vs an Oak Ridge team that lost everybody.This will be the biggest Clinton game in a long long time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did David say last night we have been to 27 straight region tournaments? You may not have been listening last night, but pretty sure that’s what I heard him say. I think the next closest team is Bearden with 9 straight, and we all know how good that program is. That’s just insane and a great testament to how good we’ve been for so many years now.

That is amazing and is a testament to our resilience and good coaching hires over the past 3 decades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
