Oak Ridge Wildcats and Farragut Admirals

The Oak Ridge Wildcats play their first home game of the 2013 season against Clinton at 7:30 p.m. today at Blankenship Field. It’s also Former Wildcat Night. The Wildcats are pictured above playing the Farragut Admirals last week.

The Oak Ridge Wildcats play the Clinton Dragons in their first home game of the 2013 season at 7:30 p.m. today (Friday) at Blankenship Field.

It’s also Former Wildcat Night, and organizers said they hope to have a large group of former players walk down the steps at Jack Armstrong Stadium. They will meet at the top of the steps at 6:46 p.m. and, led by former player Jackie Pope, walk down the steps at 6:55 p.m.

The Wildcats (0-1) opened the season at Farragut (1-1) last week. Oak Ridge was down three touchdowns at halftime but rallied in the second half, keeping the football game close but falling to the Admirals 31-24. Fans were encouraged by the turnaround in the second half.

The Clinton Dragons (1-1) lost 13-53 to Anderson County on Aug. 23 but beat Seymour 27-7 last week.
