Lol need a few more get back coaches but I doubt y'all will have any problems in region play our region looks like it will be West Powell and Halls fighting it out for the top 3 slots and heritage and Central fighting for 4th

If we play the way we did tonight anything is possible. The whole night was just weird. Guess we will see, but I take nothing for granted.

What I saw tonight was a team not worthy of a ranking. OR has A LOT to work on before they can even think about being a top 5 team in 5A. It was a pretty lousy showing, primarily offensively speaking. With that said, I take nothing away from MC. Like I said earlier, they deserved the victory, and got it. I credit Dozier, he ran his tail off tonight and took some really hard licks and kept on churning, but aside from him it was a bad showing by the rest of our guys on offense.

Tonight’s showing pretty much erased every good thing they’ve done so far this season. It was a pathetic showing, primarily offensively speaking. With that said, I take nothing away from MC.

 It was the weirdest FB game .

 OR was off from the opening kick, 3 TOs called just to get  plays in, one snap with a WR still looking at the staff for the call  so we get a critical motion penalty late( which OR could not afford due to MCHS good team D and OR O sputtering), 4 sideline flags, 2 marked off, 1 for 15 yards on 4th and 5 for MCHS, coach gets run which I have never seen in any level of FB in 68 years, OR dropped critical passes like the ball was hot, etc. Just a very weird night.

 

 OH well, my parents were raised in McMinn county so I'd rather lose to the Cherokees than most teams. Good luck to them the rest of the season and the Wildcats need to return to the previous 3 weeks of productivity or we're gonna lose several games moving forward. Be real hard to handle some of our foes in the next 5 weeks.

Game went the way I was worried about going in. They chunked OR out on that long drive to score early using a huge amount of clock. OR not being able to match that score settling for a field goal set the tone. The OR offense was just off especially the passing game with bad throws and drops. All of that let the officiating become a factor in the game and while I don’t usually complain about that, it seemed the calls were going against OR especially stuff like the sideline calls. But here again the offense was off enough and add poor field position and they never could get the lead, and the clock ran out and there you go. Lots of work to do this week especially on offense. Going to be a long night in Clinton next week if it doesn’t get cleaned up.

Yes, they played lousy. It happens sometimes. I think it’s a bit extreme to say it negates all of the good things they’ve done up until now.

Can't say much good about the game, CAUSE It just wasn't!!  Too many penalties, bad passes and dropped good passes. No shirts tonite. Highlight of the trip was Sizzling Steakhouse, good as always. Get ready for Clinton and beat the snot out of them

Rang was ejected last night? That mean he sits out next game?
