Oak Ridge

[crombie85]

I was wondering if anyone knows anything about Oak Ridge this year?

[MWiklund]

0-2 so far. Lost to Science Hill 1-0 and McCallie 2-1. On spring break right now and play Lenoir City next week. Then Clinton and Bearden tournament. A very tough schedule this year.

[crombie85]

Who are their best players and what do they play?

[MWiklund]

Matt Blair- stopper, mid Jr

Dustin Travaglini- sweeper Jr

Phillip Beene- forward Jr

Taylor Thomas- forward Soph

Oak Ridge has a great team this year. I had to the chance to watch them play mccallie. They dominated the entire game. Only weakness I saw was in the air. Mccallie scored both goals within a 5 minutes span on cornerkicks. Also Dustin Trag... was not there. Matt Blair was playing sweeper. I think OR has a good chance this year to make it to the region finals. Beating Beardon is possible for them but i dont see them taking Farragut. They have very few seniors this year though. Next year i'm callin it, OR region champs.

Is ryan pryor able to play for Oak Ridge or too many concussions?

[MWiklund]

Ryan is unfortunately not playing.

[Falcon777]

that sucks he is a good player and im sure oak ridge could of used him..i played club ball with him.

Blair is outstanding but will have no help offensively. They will have no chance against Farragut or Bearden.

What about phillip beane and taylor thomas? they are two good players. Fairly small but i think they can hang with what Beardon has defensively this year. Unless they have some people i'm not aware of. Anyone know who is starting d for beardon. I will agree that the chances of OR beating either team in the region is small but to say they have 0 chance is crazy. Did the Beardon OR game not go into OT a couple years ago. I believe OR is stronger now than they were then.
