I will also go back and check to see if I can see the roster. If you are responsible for the rosters you must be important. Good luck this season. 

Hey Willie, don't forget that we need to figure out a way for Boone and Oak Ridge to meet in the playoffs in 5A.

I haven't forgot you friend. I would love to play you guys but I don't see it happening anytime soon. If Boone ever gets down to Chattanooga for the Title I will sit next to you and cheer my heart out for you all. I do think OR will win State this season and a couple more.

KEEP FOOTBALL AT FINLEY. Chattanooga is a great town for visit.

Agreed, SD rebuilding with a new coach, new to the high school scene. They are young!

SD may be rebuilding player-wise, but the new HC isn't "new to the high school scene." He was OC at Bearden High for several years prior to a stint in college football.

Oak Ridge by a lot. This SD team has a long, rough few years ahead of them. Once they are able to keep the talent in the school, they’ll start to be successful again. 

I sure hope you are right. I am pretty confident OR will win but not sure if they can blow a team away yet. I would love for OR to win the toss of the coin and see who runs it back for a TD.

Cant wait to watch the new look Wildcats.I look for a good game and hope Oak Ridge can leave Knoxville 1-0.We have a great staff but our fans need to be patient as they build this thing back the right way.We are building depth we havent had since coach Blade.I really think that has been the missing piece to get this program over that last hump again.So enjoy the ride and support this team and staff because the payoff will be fun.Lets fill up the visitor side the next 2 weeks.RWR

Everything yall have said is that ur loaded with skill players.  You're talking like you'll have more skill players later.  My experience has always been that they are the ones that make the biggest difference. Point being, Shouldn't you be pretty good now if youre as loaded as you say?

I'm looking forward to this season as well, and I think it could be a great one. I agree that it sounds like we're building depth, especially since Cummings doesn't like to play people both ways...but I disagree with you on the Blade analogy. Blade preferred to have 40-45 players on the team and that doesn't lend itself to depth. We will win big tonight...mark it down!  RWR!!!!!!!

I think that we're loaded with skill players for sure...more than at any time since 2005. But linemen continue to be a problem against a good team...and South Doyle won't be a good team...they lost too much. I think this will be a beatdown and our skill players will overwhelm them. I do worry about our QB situation, as well as our OL.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
