Like I said yesterday, best thing to happen there since Jack Armstrong and Emory Hale. Glad for the fans of Oak Ridge and hope Derek well there as the new coach.

You called it and I have a new respect for you and your sources. I'm totally unfamiliar with Coach Rang except for what I've read, but I hope you're right. RWR!!!

Wow, great get. Big question is obvious pretty though - How long will he stay put?

Can't help but to remember this:

HC Experience

  • Powell (2012)
  • Dresden (2014-16)
  • Gatlinburg Pittman (2017-20)
  • Lewis County (2022)
  • Oak Ridge (2023.....

So is he coach the 'ole ball coach' was waiting on? Off with Cummings and now Rang??

Interesting twist is that Rang was Cummings' DC when they were at West.

Or Joe Gaddis. If it wasn't for Oakland and Riverdale, Gaddis might have as many titles as Hale and his winning % is right there with Armstrong. That said, if Rang stays for a long time, home run hire, but he's never been anywhere more than 4 years.

I know you was dying to find out who it was yesterday and I thought you might have knew sweet science personally so I reach out to him so he could contact you and just tell you but he said he didn't know you. There wasn't a hint in the world I could think of without giving it away. All I wanted was for you guys to know you were in good hands.

    • What’s sad Barney is the cards in the deck are stacked against them.  With the success the MAVS are having just down I-75, any talented players are heading that way. I always said what the Price twins did there was second to none, making the playoffs and winning a playoff game is the ceiling there. On a great year, maybe a q-final appearance but that is a big stretch.  Finding a coach there is very tough. I feel for the new coach, he’s in a very bad situation and I’m not sure he even realizes it. I understand he wants to be positive and have hope, but I don’t see them scratching a win. Maybe he will prove me wrong.  
    • I agree, 2A is the only class in thet state where the west side of the bracket is tougher, not taking anything away from Marion county at all but they should run that side for years to come
    • Should be a big week in Dayton coming up with the 100th anniversary of the Scopes Monkey Trial.
    • AE has a lot of new transfers and a very good incoming freshman class to mess with the current players.  That's why I'm saying don't sleep on AE.  Many are thinking they can't get back to their winning ways but I think this 2025 team will open a lot of eyes and let the state know, AE won't be an easy win anymore.
