Farragut has had the upper hand the last few years, better lines and skill, and Oak Ridge seemed to turn the ball over in these games to make it worse. Farragut has had an extremely tough schedule and has played close even in the losses. Oak Ridge played good and sloppy at the same time at Central, they will have to clean some things up to beat a down but not out Farragut team at Fox Den. I think the Wildcats win a close game, kicking could come into play 17-14.

Coach Rang is doing a fine job, he is what this program needs,  no, it’s not Sweetwater.

Farragut will win this game, but it will be close. They will be able to slow Dozier down enough due to the poor OL that OR plays with. Just watch Farragut's game vs Bradley, they were in that game and

Y'all is Oak Ridge, and just cause Oak Ridge pulled a sweetwater, but doesn't want to talk about it, doesn't mean anyone else has to let it go.     It was wrong.  terrible actually.

Just watch Farragut's game vs Bradley, they were in that game and had the lead at times vs a better version of OR. Bradley has 3 D1 commited players and 2 more with D1 SEC offers and Farragut kept up with them. OR has good athletes but none match up to Bradleys. Farragut by a touchdown and FG.

You may be right, we’ll see. I do think Rang is a much better coach than Floyd at Bradley though, personally speaking. He just doesn’t impress me all that much as a coach. All that talent, they should just run all over and around teams like Farragut, but nope. It wouldn’t surprise me if we lose, though, they’ve had our number for a good 15 years now.

I will give you that this year at least Floyd has underperformed so far. The jury is still out for Rang in my opinion. This will be another test of him. He failed vs McMinn.

It is his first year after all, inheriting a very mediocre team from the 2 years before. Oak Ridge has been a program in total disarray the past few years. With that said, he’s done a fantastic job so far, if you ask me. It’s not like McMinn isn’t a good team, and that’s a very tough place to win at anyway, especially with the amount of younger kids we have playing.

McMinn is a good team and tough place yes. But at a school like OR you are expected to win those games. I know Gaddis' last year wasn't good, but Cummings took them to the Quarter finals. These next two weeks will be a good test for him. Farragut is well coached and has decent players. Bearden has the best recruiter in the state and is loaded on both sides of the ball. Gotta go at least 1-1 and I know neither matter for playoff implications but the next games will be able to show if OR can get past West or not.

I agree with you. It should tell a lot, these next few weeks. Yeah, nothing against Scott, I actually thought he did a quality job. I just meant disarray as far as turnover with coaches go. Having 3 coaches in 3 years isn’t a very ideal situation for anyone to come into.

I agree is was not an ideal situation from the outside looking in. This year at least there are athletes a plenty linemen are few and far between.

I think we have some good linemen right now, they’re just really young. Also keep in mind we had 2 starters quit who were on the line as starters last year. One quit football, the other quit and went to Clinton, so that didn’t help the situation any. The line is light years ahead of a few years ago.

I heard y'all will fire a coach after their first season even if they make it to the third round of the playoffs.  Any truth to that?

      $750,000 Lawsuit Files Against Warren County School District

      By cbg · Posted

      What you are saying is true about high school athletics being a privilege and not a right, but NO ONE ever knows what will happen if a case goes before a jury.  Again, I have been in a couple of jury rooms and it's always a little crazy.  That is why my prediction is you will see a settlement before the case goes to trial.

      So you want a have and have not split? Sound like the perfect ramp to elitism. Tell those rural kids that they'll never be able to compete with those urban kids. They're not good enough right? Or we could just do what travel baseball does and have tournaments every weekend and give kids big fake rings for winning a few games. The suburban public schools are typically the ones with more funds. Urban and rural schools have more in common in finances than they do with rural schools. I've taught and coached in all of it. The difference is attitude. But if you're jsut going to say you can't compete because you don't have the money then that's an excuse. Especially in basketball. The balls are the same size, the rims are the same height and size. The ball dribbles the same in some rural gym in mountains as it does in the FedEx forum. Charters come and go like a fart in the wind. They are no real threat to anyone. Magnets could be but rarely do they win either. It just hasn't been seen in Tennessee.

      Pemberton Leaves Rhea for Campbell County

      That’s a good line. Wins would be Soddy, Howard, and Ooltewah. Maybe East Ham again or Knox Central. Tyner maybe but being that late in the year it’s hard to say. I don’t think we get by Red Bank this year.    Rhea could be anywhere from 2-8 to 6-4.

      I agree with the Farragut and Bradley claim. Those will both be wins. Bearden like you say is depending on when you get them in comparison to when the wheels fall off.  As far as West goes I’m 50-50. They have been able to reload so far so until they show me they haven’t I can’t count them out.
