I've been watching the same team that you've been watching. I understand that we are not blessed with great linemen, and I also realize that we've had injuries, and I'm sick of our fans (some of them) making excuses of our injuries. Are we the only team who has had many injuries? NO! It is not very becoming of OR football fans to be known as the "whining capital of the region"!!! Do you think anyone feels sorry for us...other than some of our own fans...he#$ NO!!!  It's time to shut up about injuries, shut up about officiating, and PLAY BALL !!!!!!!  And I do actually believe that if our players don't "buy in" to the excuses they here from so many directions, that OR will have a very good chance to win tonight! OR will have the best running back on the field tonight, OR will have the two best receivers on the field tonight, OR will have the best linebacker on the field tonight, OR will have the best defensive secondary on the field tonight, OR will have a great player in Jai Hundley on the field tonight, OR will have the superior punter and placekicker on the field tonight, and OR will have home field advantage tonight. Given all of that, I feel like my prediction has some merit...and I rest my case!!!!

I may be a clown - but I can read the post above.  Sounds like superior talent to me.

Man, crazy how many posters jump on a team when they’re down. Some names I’ve never seen in any OR posts before piling on. Great stuff. Keep it classy, folks. And grown freaking men to beat it all. Enjoy it. I’m actually super proud of our kids for not giving up when they easily could’ve down 14-zip, basically before the whistle ever blew. Hold them chins up high, Wildcats.

After how Oak ridge looked against Bearden I thought they would have a better season. Not sure what’s all going on but they’ve had a tough schedule with Farragut Bearden and Powell compared to Greeneville who has a negative strength of schedule. Still tough to lose the way they have lately. 

The offensive side of the ball has completely been depleted by injuries. Like my buddy ORCat says, though, it is what it is. Bearden basically played a full strength OR team, there’s your difference.

Scott Cummings happened.  Yall couldve had Josh Jones

This is not Cummings’ fault. It’s his first season, and a whole new philosophical approach from the previous staff. It’s gonna take some time, and we’re seeing that now with the growing pains we’re having, but I’m behind him 100 percentile. To he$& with Josh Jones. We do things the right way @ OR. Life ain’t all about winning and losing, although some folks seem to think it is.

Yup I think the injuries made them lose their mojo as well. They really haven’t had bad losses except this game. Losing to 6a schools who are on the rise and defending state champs in Powell and now a 4a power house. I heard Powell’s coach saying he wants to meet whoever makes their schedules cause they aren’t doing them any favor. I think you could say the same about OR.

    • Did this happen? Does anyone know? Ripley has their HC job posted on the bulletin board over the weekend.
    • Coalfield definitely isn't the same team they've had the past few years. They are still the favorites to make it out of their region because of their pitching. They have 1 arm that sits low to mid 80s and 2 other arms that are mid to high 70s with good off speed stuff. If you can avoid their top 3 bats in their lineup then you have a shot to beat them. Their 4-9 hitters are average at best. Wartburg's ace was able to shut them down last week in the game Wartburg won 4-2. 
    • It is the longest season. Plus, 30 games a year. No Christmas break. I would say basketball is the most time consuming. 
    • No movement on Chester? South Gibson? Gibson County?
    • Winfree's senior year was the season she needed to secure more college interest. That opportunity was taken away from her. A lot of false assumptions can be made about what happened and what the options are. Unfortunately, the former coach and administration did not allow Winfree to have due process. A lawsuit was filed for a reason, and it will run its course by people who conduct discovery and take depositions. Unless the parties settle out of court, a lot of the pertinent issues will come to the public surface. I wrote about many of the issues here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/11/17/grounds-for-investigation-and-suspension/ I interviewed Winfree after she was dismissed from the team and wrote about it here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/12/01/a-new-interview-with-sable-winfree/ Winfree had been on teams in Warren County since the fourth grade and never been dismissed from a team. The real questions are why was Winfree dismissed from the team, and why the administration backed a coach whom they did not rehire.
