We cant get behind the sticks on offense.CC will be ready to play and wont make it easy for us.We got to go take it from them.I have learned over the years to never take anybody for granted when you dont have a great offense.If CC can figure how to stop the Oak Ridge run or force a few turnovers they can easily win this game.I would really love to see the OaK Ridge offense that is clicking and not so out of sync trying to get a play off.Lets show up big and pack that place out.RWR

I agree that you can't ever take anyone for granted BUT Camplbell County has allowed an average of 39 points per game this season...Clinton scored 48 on them, so CC figure out how to stop ANYTHING OR does...they couldn't stop Heritage, Lenoir City, or Clinton , so they won't stop OR. If the OR offense doesn't click against CC just  like they did against Karns, then that will be a HUGE problem that SweetScience will have a hard time blaming on Gaddis, or as he likes to say...the previous staff.

you mean the one that went 2-9 and had little to no weight training program?  How could they possibly have a hand in this?

He’s obviously looking for an argument, but unfortunately for him, I’m not the least bit interested in engaging.

Yeah I know, my point was this group didn't exactly inherit a great situation and they had these skill guys too.  I think we are getting better.  And as healthy as we've been all year.  I think we should be able to make a little run if we can get by CC and get back to the ship.

We’ve made huge strides since last season, agreed. We can actually run the ball now without our running backs getting blasted a split second after they touch the ball.

CC does enough on offense to keep this game close. If OR can limit the passing game then they will win. CC is awful on defense. We could honestly watch a game where one team throws the ball every play and the other team runs that ball every play. I look for this to be a close game until the 4th quarter.

Wildcats travel up the hill to Campbell County and a must win to cinch a second round playoff spot at home 1st Round against the Rhea County Golden Eagles, who finish second to the Chunky Cherokees from McMinn County in the old WIng T Region, Similar to the Karns game, the Wildcat offense needs to score points, maybe a lot of them to out distance the Cougars. Expect the tricks from the Cougars like onside kicks and 4th down going to gain extra possessions, The visors really have a good scheme on offense each year, have to be alert on defense Wildcats. Need to win this or face a long trip to Walker Valley,

CC can throw it around, and they are always well coached. But their defense is just as porous as Karns. As long as OR doesn't repeatedly shoot themselves in the foot, they should be fine.

Seems near impossible for this OR team for some reason

    • 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.
