Yeah SS maybe hit the lottery, as the price just keeps going up and up on building materials. 

Thanks for the good words on "The Ship"  Dawgz4life we're real proud of it and Coach Rang has the Pride back in our Cats and a lot of fight, too.

Lookin forward to Friday night at "The Ship' with your Dawgs!

It should definitely be a very fun game, 6-1 vs. 5-2 last year. Obviously, we won, and it was a big staple in the program, especially with Coach Jones and what he can do on the field. It’s a non-district game. Hopefully neither team gets hit with an injury bug. And then next week we obviously have Morristown-Hamblen West, which you know, they have a football team, and then obviously the big game, Bradley Central, so hopefully there’s no injuries and both teams can roll into playoff time better than ever.

I’m going with the Dawgs, 31-17. Unfortunately I think the Cats will be hard pressed to put up many points against the vaunted Bearden D.

This game IMO should be a really good one. Beardens front lines are tough, stout and one of the states best, however if OR has a passing attack that should keep them in the game and then win with on a field goal difference. I think OR wants this game more.

OR 24 Bearden 21

Bearden has the beast on the line. But OR seams to be rolling along pretty good. That's a lot of points for Bearden. I think Bearden can take the game but this being in OR they will be ready. I think this will be a good close game especially if OR can pass it well. A good chance to see what kind of defense and offence OR has at this point against a Beast in Bearden. 

Heard Austin Price say he thinks Bearden's secondary will win them this game, so we'll see. He picked FHS to beat us last Friday, he ain't perfect.

Should be a really good high school football game. 

 

Bearden is very good defensively,  but challenged on offense. 

 

If Oak Ridge can find a way to make,some offensive plays , they win. 

 

If not, Bearden wins a low scoring game.

I think everyone but Packer picked Bearden. Sometimes I think they are grabbing for straws however Price stated he does his research but yet again however tonight he indicated 1st round North View and Gibbs indicating or expressing Gibbs will beat AC. I can't fathom that. It should not even be a close one from my Rose covered glasses if that's what he was meaning lol.

Gibbs is a very good team, and I’m surprised I haven’t heard anybody talk about them before. I don’t even know if they have fans, but they are a pretty decent team this season. I don’t see them losing another game this year. Maybe they will lose that in Fulton, and maybe they will lose that, but I doubt it. But why am I talking about Gibbs? I’m like those Maryville fans that raid random threads and make it about Maryville, but anyway, give me Oak Ridge winning this one, but I don’t think it really matters. Just hope both teams get out injury-free and ready for the playoffs.

Not to take this further off topic, but I don't know that I'd say Gibbs is "very good." They're a decent team that has taken advantage of a very weak schedule. They haven't beaten anyone with a winning record, and the combined record of the opponents they've defeated is 12-44. They even struggled against a winless Mo East team last week.

Some AC folks tried to make the same argument about Carter leading up to the AC-Carter game a few weeks ago, and I think the same thing applies to the Hornets. That region just isn't very good this year, outside of AC. SD and Fulton are way down. Seymour is a doormat. Carter and Gibbs are just decent teams that have beaten up on the talent-deficient teams on their schedules.

I agree. AC should beat Gibbs by 21+

Yeah, I really gotta start looking at their schedules before I look at their record and give them a ranking. Yeah they’ve beating nobody’s maybe they will struggle with Anderson County. Lol
