Powell @ The Ridge - Rivalry Thursday

[Cactus Jack]

That was really some game!!  I really like how Coach Rang schemes the offense, he stretches the defense, makes them cover everybody and moves defenders around.  Powell sure misses Potts and Company, they are pretty run oriented now. They had a good game plan to run the ball and shorten the game and it worked in the first half. The Powell offensive line is really good at protection and run blocking, those guys are hard to get by. WIldcats start a 5 game road trip now.  Won't see Blankenship until the end of October.  Quality win.

All the tough games besides Farragut are home though… Clinton and central maybe tough but OR should win both

Huge win tonight for Oak Ridge! Showing they are back! Still have some work to do but they are back quicker than I would have predicted. Great win and Congratulations to the cats.

Powell and Oak Ridge will get better and staying Healthy they will make a good playoff journey. I hoping AC shows some identity and come together with the offence. I know the defense gave up the big play last week but I think that could be an better fix. If offense can get going I expect AC can give up a big play or two.

I feel like this is going to be a theme for Powell a lot this season. Their margin of error is minimal this year.

I think Powell's running game is so good, if the QB and WRs grow as the season goes along, PHS will end up being a real hard out.

Good win for OR. Too many red zone turnovers for Powell in the first half, and no answers for those big plays from OR in the second half.

Yep, the 2 TOs kept OR in it in the first half. I bet we meet again in the playoffs.

Good luck until then
