Yeah I’m not sure how much of a game this is going to be. Not sure if Ethan Davis will be back for this game. We are pretty banged up we are on our like 5th string running back at this point. 

Oak Ridge doesn’t use injuries as an excuse. Lol

Rhea County healthy is always pretty good, I definitely noted that early in the season they had AC on the ropes before the Mavs pulled it out late.  Oak Ridge played the best game they have played all season at Campbell County, came out fast and focused, took it to the Coogs from the start, Thats the way to play, Looking back the week before that with a break that went the right way and not getting a couple of time critical holding calls, they could have beat DB as well. SO, this team is getting better and getting it right at the right time of the year, they got most all of the injured guys back and its good to see Garza getting more comfortable at quarterback executing the offense, IF they do the same against Rhea County they should come out with a first round win and be looking at a pretty good path ahead in the playoffs. I hope we have a good crowd Friday night fans, you need to reward these guys for getting OR a home playoff game!!

I would love to get past Rhea and then host CC.  CC had no answer for what we were doing on either side of the ball on fri. night.

Rhea County will play like you would expect a 2-8 team to play. Comical that any team with that bad of a record could make the playoffs. Against Coffey County last week they didn't even compete. Even if Davis is back look for a running clock in this one. Yes, we have a VERY young team that has been plagued by injury's all year but we just have not played very well. Get through this game, pick yourselves up, knock the dust off, and regroup for next year. Also, get back to the Winged-T. It has been our best option against superior, more athletic teams teams for years. As always.............GO EAGLES!

Seems like y’all had a really good MS team in Spring City this past season, so things should be looking up soon you’d think.
