JEFF COUNTY at OR

[catswild]

It's    GAME WEEK BABY !!!!

[blazer1set]

This game will not make or break OR's season but I think it is important for the Wildcats to win.    Powell is coming up after this one and you don't want to start the season 0-2.     Not sure what Jeff Co has this year but I'm pulling for OR because they are 5A, and I would love to see a Boone/Oak Ridge playoff game at some point although that is very unlikely to ever happen.     So go Cats!

Can't believe it's game week.One thing is for sure and that is Dozier will have big year if we can block for him.Also think B Hey has a lot to prove his SR yr.Look forward to VN coming off the edge.Great kid and should have big year.RWR

I don't want to look ahead but I don't consider the game with Powell to be an automatic loss for OR, if that's what you meant. I do agree with you that the Jefferson County game is important

I’m taking OR Friday night. The Cats get off to a good start for potentially a very memorable season.

jeff County traditionally is big up front and likes to control the ball and play defense, hoping to cash in on a turnover. The key to this game may be how well their defense can cover Oak Ridge's receivers.  If they can't it will be a long night for the Patriots. For Oak Ridge, avoiding turnovers and better tackling in the secondary is a key. I understand the Patriots fared pretty well in a scrimmage against West, so the Wildcats cannot take them lightly,  I think OR wins this one 21-7.

I like OR at home. I'll say 27 - 14

Will be a typical first game. Team that limits turnovers and avoids special teams debacles will win. Jeff has really struggled on special teams since Riley has been there. In scrimmages, Jeff has handled Knox West and completely dismantled Davy Crockett (who is completely terrible again). OR has held their own vs Fulton and Maryville (who is way down). It will be competitive

OR takes this one 28 -13...Jefferson County will have no answer for Heyward, Rembert, or Pressley and they won't have much luck tackling Dozier. Stansberry will have a solid game but may take a few weeks to grow up and develop, but he will be a good one. Our defense is a concern overall but I still feel good about this game.

I honestly have absolutely no idea how it will go, but of course I hope we win, obviously. I do look for us to win, but like Patriot said above, I believe it’ll be a tight one.

Should be a low scoring game

I'd guess this, too. I expect a tough game and OR wins it late, but, we do have a soph QB and that's always a fear for me.

We'll see tomorrow night.
