REGION CAT FIGHT AT BLANKENSHIP: WILDCATS WIN 28-27

On the Wildcats' Senior Night, the team came to play! Leading the Panthers the entire game, the Cats pulled out a win against #2 ranked Powell. Wildcats finish the regular season 5-1 in Region 3, arguably the toughest 5A region in the state. Due to Fulton's COVID concerns, the team has two weeks to prepare for a playoff game at Blankenship!

WILDCATS WIN AGAINST 6A MT. JULIET, 27-21

On a cold, clear night at Blankenship Field, the Wildcats were hot! Oak Ridge battled Mt. Juliet on offense and defense throughout the game. Breathtaking plays made the game exciting for fans to watch until the end. Next up, Powell. Photos coming!

WILDCATS WIN BIG IN LAST ROAD GAME AT KARNS, 56-14

On a beautiful night for football, the Wildcats scored a season-high 56 points versus old rival Karns, and the Beavers' star running back was kept in check by the defense. Some great plays were made by underclassmen who took the field during the second half.

NOT THE YEAR OF THE DRAGON: CATS BEAT CLINTON 36-0

It wasn't a pretty first quarter, but it ended as another shut-out, and a region win over an old rival! Slow first quarter was followed by steady Wildcat progress. A last-minute touchdown with penalty waived off made the final score 36-0.

TOUGH LOSS AT WEST, WILDCATS REGROUP BEFORE CLINTON

As if the monsoon facing our offense wasn't enough, West brought their best defense. Wildcats struggled on offense, while the defense held strong for most of the game. After the tough loss, Wildcats plan and work toward a road game visiting the Clinton Dragons!

WILDCATS OFFENSE FOUGHT VS. FARRAGUT IN 45-25 LOSS

The Wildcats' passing game held center stage in a hard-fought loss to Farragut in the Rivalry Thursday game. Some great performances and some areas to work on for this next week's Rivalry Thursday game against Knoxville West. (See NEWS above for more)
