Was looking at the cats remaining schedule 5 straight road games after a bye in week 2 is kinda strange yes?

Yea, plus we had our open date last week. The previous coach did some weird scheduling

Great win tonight!  As a measuring stick game, I thought we came out pretty darn well.  Great 2nd half adjustment on defense and working some good magic on offense. Good luck to Powell the rest of the way.  The region game with West should be epic.  On to Karns and the start of the big road trip.

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.

 That PHS OL is strong. If they still had Potts and those WRs, it would be a fantastic team.

 

 I'm impressed with Rang so far. Hope he and Oak Ridge become a thing together like our previous great coaches did.

I believe I said Oak Ridge by 2 tds and I was right.

Rang is a heckuva coach and has some Players this year that have really bought into his vision. I think Oak Ridge rolls through their schedule until the game at Farragut and then Bearden the next week. No one in the district should be in their way and they should have a deep run.

Congrats to SS, Oridgecat and the other wildcat faithful...the atmosphere looked amazing on Packervision

Great second half by the Cats tonight. Love the kind words for our Friend Willie this wins for him. And also for Willie, I gave WWA t-shirts to #1,#3 and #22.

Lots of good things to look forward to. Very impressed with this staff's ability to make adjustments. Young O Line will only get better. QB will only get better. He's pretty good already in just two starts. Lots of weapons.

So many good things already that I didn't expect so soon. 

RWR!

Oh, did anyone notice the freshmen receivers on Wednesday's show. More weapons on the way.

Been telling you that Derek was a great hire. 

 

You believe me now.

Oh, he impressed me early.  Spring scrimmage against Halls was a revelation.  He is as good a coach of coaches as he is players.  Looking good early with a lot of rough and tumble games along the way.  I like our chances in the region but there are some good teams in Region 4 and West and/or Powell will be waiting in the Semi's.  Should be a fun ride.  Good crowd again from the Oak Ridge faithful.

Really good win.Very impressed with coaching staff.Dozier was ,is and will always be the man.Didnt think we would win this one but loved being wrong.Things could get fun if the offense gets better every week

somehow, I doubt this was Cummings' schedule.  schedules are usually made in the spring.

OR is heading in the right direction.

I heard it was the lack of Cummings having a schedule it ended up this way. They even tried to get Oakland for that open date last week.  Couldn't work nothin out with DB. It was a mess.
