Its should be a good one. Come on down to Athens and spend your money here in the Friendly City. We like out of towns folks to stop and eat with us.

MY PREDICTION...OR will win.

Willie, we have bantered back and forth in the past about Boone and Oak Ridge getting together, do you think there is any chance it happens this year?      I'm saying Knox West wins it all but what do you think, are West and Powell vulnerable or are those two destined to meet after Thanksgiving?

Coach Cummings is fibbing a wee bit about McMinn's linemen being big.  The defensive linemen are actually undersized. 

Teams appear to be similar in the common opponents they've played:
McMinn beat Rhea 43-14. OR beat Rhea 36-17.
McMinn beat Campbell 39-7.  OR beat Campbell 41-6.

OR has played a tougher schedule than McMinn, and may be more battle tested.

Blazer,

I have always considered you one of the best posters on CoachT. It would be an honor to face you and Boone. My guess is it won't happen. Powell is not the same team that won State last season but they have too much talent for Oak Ridge to overcome. I haven't watched any of West games but I read a lot of positive things about the Rebels. What is wild is Oak Ridge has three West transfers who are top notch talent. I believe Boone can beat West.

I live in Chattanooga so if Boone makes it to State, I 'll try and hook you up with a nice meal.

I like OR in this game. Football is more than Wins and Losses. It also about peaking with the right attitude and a singular team mindset. The Ridge Runners see to have all of that at the right time in their quest. OR 35-21.

If we do, we’re gonna have to play a lot better than we did against RC. Although we got the win, we looked extremely sloppy doing it. Need to be a lot more crisp against MC.

Always big and chunky the Cherokees pose problems up front, A Rhea County source told me that he thinks the Cherokees will "have trouble with your skill guys". He said Rhea was did not play well at all against the Kees.  I'm hoping the flu and stomach bugs are gone and the Wildcats have a good week of practice and come out fast and ready to play. Last year down there we kind of struggled in the middle quarters and came up a little short (2 yards) at the end.  Kees closed out strong after being close for a while against the Cougars last week.  Oak Ridge 24 McMinn 14. but could be closer.

You guys can’t beat Powell but Boone can beat West? Willie. Never thought I would see the day that you would be this down on OR.

I’ve got OR winning this game by a couple of TD’s.

      You are so correct!  It’s really 99.9% of academia want to change to way that education is not only taught but the way it is viewed.  The pendulum has definitely swung as far to the left as possible and eventually will swing to the right much too far.  I have always  said that politics and one’s personal religious views need to stay out of education,  but for the last 40 years education has been running full throttle to what we have today.  If the social experiment that we are currently experiencing continues it is only a matter of time before the public school system in the USA completely collapses and all kids attend private schools or even worse don’t go to school.

      He was a bruise but Aaron Dykes is HVA’s best RB ever.

      I am talking about what they both did for their team. They both carried their team for four years while they were both there. I wasn’t really comparing them that would be unfair. Bishop is on a level of his own.

      Dorian Eskridge had a great Junior year, highlighted by a great game to lead HVA to an upset win at OR that year. I think that was 2010. In 2011 OR won at HVA. OR had a real good QB that year l think. Dorian Eskridge had a great senior year also. He always played hard from the DCM videos l saw.
