I don't want to put pressure on this player but is  Jenna Johnson starting to remind you of a former Lady Wildcat? 

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  

The player I am thinking of is two time Class AAA Miss Basketball, Southern Conference Player of the year at UTC and current Head Coach at Harden Valley Academy JENNIFER WILSON.

My nickname for Jennifer was Miss Automatic. Back then, I posted a lot on OR Lady B-ball. Became friends with parents like the Barnard's and Coach Burkey. I also became a friend of the Wilson Family the year I taught Jennifer's nephew at Oak Ridge Nursery School.

The players wondered how I knew so much about them and who I was. Finally, one day at an AAU Tournament at Roane State, Miss Automatic came up and sat by me. Finally, she asked if I was WillieTheWildcat. We had a laugh and talked for a around an hour. She wouldn't say but my guess was Mrs. Lee ( Jennifer's Grandmother ) gave me away. They were all really good people.

Anybody agree that Jenna may turn into a Jennifer someday?  RWR!

I think we can say that Coach Taylor has our girls playing her brand of basketball.  West goes down 72-35.  I like that this team has a lot of weapons and not so reliant on 1 person to carry the balance of the scoring load.

RWR!

Perfect observation Neil.

The one thing I hope for this team is it gets some time with the injured inside players before the season is over. Those girls are working hard trying to get well and deserve playing time. 

RWR! Rebounding is a " want to " skill. Want it Oak Ridge!

Thank you to Neil, Stephanie and the Thompson Family for tonight's Lady Wildcats basketball streaming game. They are a Super Wildcat Family.

It is halftime and Oak Ridge is beating Knoxville Central  29 -  16 in the District 3-AAAA tournament girls.

You are welcome Willie.  Glad to do it. #RWR

    • Making 100,000 a year not a bad gig
    • Yep..could possibly have 3 teams ranked in top ten in the same four team district.
    • He had an opportunity to be the OC at TC without final say in the offensive gameplan. How does that work? Smh. Head Coaches are public figures regardless of the community size, and yes there are some out there, it’s irrelevant and not fair to them to name them on here. Also why is said “head coach” the head coach of the MS baseball program to begin with? Oh because no one wants it. As for the Lebanon question, I know what I’ve been told so just going off here say, some of the boosters were not happy with his roster decisions and wanted him out. Although he lead them to 20+ wins in multiple seasons 
    • A head coach in the school system? No I dont think so. Head coaches are public figures in small communities. Not trying to slander, but this is an actual question. Do you know why he was forced to resign at Lebanon? This was his second chance.  He already left trousdale once and had an opportunity to come back a couple of years ago but spoiled that. 
    • Are you perfect? Nope no one is, at the end of the day there are several teachers/coaches and even some in the Trousdale County school system that have DUI’s on their record. You’re correct on it being a bad mistake and it unfortunately could have ended horribly. While you consider the consequences minimal, I can assure you they are not. Ultimately I hope and have faith that he will learn from it and use it to better himself.
