[WilleTheWildcat]

The Lady Wildcats are like a volcano waiting to explode  With Youth galore starting alongside grizzly old vets this season will be fun to watch. Road trips to Arizona and Greeneville should have them Tournament Season ready.

RWR! May the Wildcat Force be with you.

An exciting season of Girls Basketball has tipped off in Oak Ridge. The Lady Wildcats are playing McMinn County tonight in the Wildcat Arena / Jill Prudden Floor.

OR has 13 varsity players 5 of which are Freshmen. Remember, Oak Ridge Robertsville Middle School were Middle School State Runner ups in 2020 and STATE CHAMPIONS in 2021. Oak Ridge Jefferson Middle School also supplies ORHS with talent.

Starting tonight for OR were Stewart, Hart, Green, Clark and Lindsey. Porter and Cleveland saw action in the First half of the game. Several Lady Wildcats are missing tonight due to injuries.

The Lady Wildcats are ahead at the half  32 - 31.

I thought we had a good start, especially considering our 2 bigs were both hurt.  Porter is going to be sooooo fun to watch for the next 4 years.  Our defense is already good and will only get better as the freshman get used to varsity ball.

Nole, you are certainly right! 

Do you know if JMS/RMS have more talent on the way? OR can always use depth and height.

 There is a chance one of our injured senior posts can be back by the end of January. 

Have a Merry Christmas and New Years. RWR!

Tuesday night, the Lady Wildcats travel to Powell. The Lady Cats are coached by Paige Taylor who has a seven year record of 169 - 31.

Powell is led in scoring by Reagan Trumm. I believe Trumm is the state's leading 3 ball shooter. This season she has scored 23 vs William Blount and 32 against Jefferson County. Included in those 32 points are 5 3's.

The Lady Wildcats are defeated by the Lady Panthers, 34-25.  If you had said before the game, that we would hold Powell to less that 35 pts, I would have thought that we would win easily.  However, that was not the case.  I'm pretty sure our shooting percentage was below 10%, many of them wide open looks.  Looking forward to our ladies bouncing back this Friday against Knox Central.
