"...who knows they may end up at the top when it’s all said and done."

 

Is there a different "End up on top when it's all said and done" than state champs?  If so, how did I miss it?

Good point, maybe I should have eluded the end of the regular season or either the playoffs or both. As an outsider, a fan of the sport, I liked what I seen. Yes, It was glimpse/1qtr against a quality opponent. I am sure the coach’s and I know most of the OR fans sitting near me picked up on it/seen the same thing I did, which was good.  I hope you guys do well, enjoy the ride.

Derek is a solid individual.  He was scapegoated in the situation in with the testing issue, and it wasn't ACT testing.  Those above him didn't do their jobs to be sure there wasn't a situation like t

Coach Rang is engaged to be married and they are building a house in Oak Ridge. But I have to admit I've had some of the same thoughts about  "When Derrick goes marching Home". Don't think it will hap

Oak Ridge scrimmaged Greeneville up to Jefferson City today Cats won 14 - 13. It was one quarter of play.   JV's didn't do so well, they lost but had a good learning experience. 

Greeneville was up 13-7 when their starters came out. OR scored on a passing play after that against Devils backups to take the lead. The iNt was against GHS backups

My take on it. Both offensive lines looked great. Probably a slight edge toward G’s. Both defensive lines looked great. G’s run defense maybe a slight edge. OR’s 2 TD’s came from passing plays. G’s 2 TD’s one from a run and the other from a pass, but failed to covert the extra point. Pass coverage I give the slight edge to OR. Not sure what the exact time was left on the clock after OR scored the 2nd TD, but I believe it was a little over a minute. G drives all the way down to around the 7 to 5 yard line with approx. 32 seconds left on the clock and if I remember correctly that drive consisted of mostly running, maybe one pass. Anyhow, G’s got the ball down at around the 7 to 5 yard line and I think it was 1st and goal with approx. 32 secs left on the clock. Instead of of trying to run/punch it in, it’s a pass. The kid from OR was reading it all the way and comes across the goal line and intercepts the pass. The failed extra point on G, and the interception by OR was the difference.

I thought OR looked different than what they had looked like the past 2 season. They Looked disciplined and confident. QB has good arm and I think he’s going to be able to manage the game well. Is his name Dozer; that kid is elusive. Yes, I know it was just 1qtr, but from my perspective based on what I saw tonight, I think OR’s going to be hard to handle and who knows they may end up at the top when it’s all said and done. Both teams looked really good. Looking forward to the season. Have a great weekend everyone.  

OR second score was against GHS second team, and the INt was also against Devils backups….  Also.. Devils kicker did not play.

Not sure you got all of your facts straight onThursdays game but that seems to be your way. It was in fact his varsity playing against OR the entire first half.  I was actually on the field during coach Spradlin’s after game speech in the corner of the end zone. His excitement over their intensity and aggressive playing with a never give up attitude was his true focus. It was truly a win for his 4A program competing against a large 5A team.

Seems to be my way??   What part of my statement was incorrect?

And no.   It was not the varsity.   The backups were in when OR scored its 2nd TD..   I’m not trying to bash OR, they are a good team….  It was a good “practice” for both teams.

I actually just now went back and watched the Hudl film just to make sure my “facts were straight”   First.   It’s all about getting work in….  I just saw where OR fans were claiming “victory”.  And yes they had 14-13 when the clock ran out….  But.   Just to be fair

There were no starters in the game for GHS for the entire second scoring drive of OR, OR starters were still in…..TD pass from their starter to Heyward.    Also GHS starting O was out after that….   Brandon…(kicker) did not play.   Again.  Not trying to bash OR (great team).  But if you want facts…..

I definitely could have been mistaken on Greenville’s player substitution. It really was good work for both teams. OR has improved from week to week in their scrimmages. As a wildcat alum and fan I’m excited for the season

Both squads got some really good work from what I hear (for what it’s worth, I wasn’t able to go), and I have a feeling both will be really good in their respective classes. The final score is pretty meaningless, as far as this OR fan is concerned. Best wishes to Greeneville and their fans, they’re a good bunch of fans from my limited experience with them on here.

      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.

      An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.

      All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
