Here’s an update:
Meet the Coach: Come out to Oakey’s Sports Grill from 6-8 p.m. Wednesday, April 19, to meet Rang and hear him talk Oak Ridge Wildcat football. Seating is first come, first served, and attendees may order from Oakey’s regular menu.
Rang will sit for an interview, and fans are welcome to comment or ask questions. PrepRadio and local Comcast Channel 15 will carry the event live, and viewers will be able to call in to ask questions or comment, as well.
This is a great chance for ORHS football fans to hear about Rang’s approach to football and to get his take on his personnel and the 2023 season.
Liftathon: The annual Liftathon will be on April 24-25 in the ORHS weightroom. The public is invited to watch the guys hit maxes after a long spring of hard work. Look for more details nearer to the event.
Spring Practice: Now that the Ben Martin Track upgrade is finished, spring practice will return to the ORHS practice field. Dates:
• April 26 and 27
• May 1, 2, 4, 8, 9, 11, 15
Scrimmage: The Cats will scrimmage at Rhea County this year at 6 p.m. Tuesday, May 16.
