Let's start a place where we can make predictions about teams, regions, coaches, schools, whatever for 2023.     As next season progresses you can always tag a post made here and say "See, I told you so....".      Some realignment has happened so some of us will be playing new teams.     Lot of schools graduating 20+ seniors.... rebuilding or reloading??     So lots to discuss between now and when 2023 kicks off.    Just keep it in the 5A/6A space please.

Yeah me too, a little premature on that.  For some reason OR fans think that Powell and West will be down next year.  Powell returns a ton (the whole o line) minus the three receivers and qb.  West loses alot, but they have the athletes to plug in.  OR loses a ton as well, until we find a number of decent lineman to work with, I just can't see this.  We need to start the year with lots more big fellas, they just aren't out for football.  By the end of the season, the 5 we had out there was all that was left, literally.

I’ve just come to accept the fact that Oak Ridge is devoid of big linemen. It’s like a curse or something. Seriously, this has been an ongoing issue for what, 10 years or so now? Almost, at least.

Yeah at least since 2015.  The 14 line had five guys go play college ball.  But again when they were at OR they couldn't block me, you, BC Jr. and Walmart Bag Guy.  If we brought an extra guy and blitzed your dad it would be all over with.  lol.

I get that, and you're right. I went out on a pretty big limb, but every year there's a team or so who puts it together a little bit unexpectedly, and I think that has a chance to be Oak Ridge next year. Maybe I'm putting too much faith in Cummings, but I couldn't go all favorites with my picks, because that's not how it usually ends up playing out. When push comes to shove, I wouldn't be surprised to see Powell or West represent the East in 5A next year, but I had to give just one for the list lol.

    • I am going to assume you are not a lawyer, and most reasonable lawyers would not say the lawsuit has a zero percent chance in court. I agree with you that a coach has the ability to dismiss anyone from a team. However, Ms. Winfree was never presented with the opportunity to present her witnesses and have them tell the coaches and administrators what they heard. A lawyer could better explain the lawsuit and the grounds to you. Before you start making wild assumptions about the lawsuit, would it be too much to ask that you do a little legal research first? The lawsuit is dealing with due process, loss of property, and defamation.   You can read the lawsuit here: https://bdnewsletter.files.wordpress.com/2024/04/doc-1-complaint-filed-4-18-2024.pdf  
    • The administration took the path of backing the coach and whispering to people that the kid was a problem. The reality is that the kid was never a problem on a team or classroom. The player says she has witnessed who back her not saying the f-word.  Why did the coach make that story up and other stories? I am not Sigmund Freud and do not have an answer for the ex=-coach's behavior..  
    • I think they have they coach they want close to being done. I guess we will all see how this plays out. I hope the hire a good one. There are some players in the box for the next coach to work with. 
    • Going to grundle Troy Fleming?
    • I agree I don't think it will go to trial either, but I feel like that will be because no judge would deem this to warrant a law suit... If the school board settles, they loose and all coaches and schools loose too.
