Oak Rdge took down Powell tonight 67 - 53. If I heard correctly, the Wildcats graduated their Top 7 players from last year but Coach Green has them playing stellar underfeated  basketball so far.

You would be correct.  Powell is much better than their record.  However, their lack of depth is hurting them.  They looked really tired at the end of the game.  I thought we played a great second half and finished out the game well.  Fun team to watch, everyone should come out and see them!

Coach Green is the best.He lost his top 4 or 5 the yr before that.They will have to play great tonight to get a win but I feel confident he will have them on a different level by end of year.This team has a lot of room to grow and will only get better

Did anybody have a clue Oak Ridge would be this good at this point in the season? 

I knew Coach Green was a great Coach and would put a fundamentally sound team on the court by seasons end but he is doing it with guys with limited varsity playing time. This team is quickly becoming one of my favorite teams of all time. 

Brightharp's DEFENSE and 28 points against Cleveland...just WOW! I had never ever heard of him. Most of the team is still new to me and I am having a blast getting to know them on the court.

Oak Ridge plays Hampton on Dec. 27, 1:30, in the Renasant Bank Christmas Tournament in Maryville.

Hampton last season was 27 - 9 and made it to the Class 1A State Semifinals.

This season they are 8 - 3 with loses to Kingsport DB and two Flerida teams.

Also in the OR /  Hampton bracket are Maryville vs Lenior City.

The Upper Bracket is Farragut vs Sevier County and Stone Memorial vs Sequoyah.

Got to watch Hampton play South Greene a couple weeks ago, they are good for Class A. Oak Ridge should have no problem with them though. Hampton’s coach is letting them play some better competition this year with DB, the Florida schools and now this tournament.  Need to be able to play 32+ mins come Feb. and you can’t do that when playing bad teams and your starters on the bench halfway in the 3rd.

    • 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.
