Just watched Rang’s interview with Clary. I like what he had to say. I’m looking forward to the year.

That was a great interview. I think he'll do well at Oak Ridge.

If his tenure at Oak Ridge mirrors every other HC job he's had, patience will be a relative term...results seem to come quickly for him. If OR is his "destination job", they struck pure gold...if not he'll be gone to greener pastures in a few years, but the program will be in a better place for it anyway.

Great interview! Sounds like it should be an exciting season for the Wildcats.

Great hire by OR! Be interesting to see if he lets his coaches coach or he just decides to do it all.

Yea, I like that, too. That's a great rivalry between 2 teams that respect one another.

I like that too, I really hated that DB wasn't on the schedule for 23 and 24.  Its one of the best rivalry games in East Tennessee and has been pretty even, with win streaks for both teams.  If we get that going in 2025 again, OR should be back up to speed.

I might mention a Head Coaching opening at Tuscola High School in Waynesville NC. NC Class 3A School, good tradition and community support just an FYI for those who are looking.
