Blackman did win 29-28 on a blocked kick.

That's the way I said Riverdale was gonna win before the game and they did. I bet it was a great game.

Running Attack - Oakland has more yards per game. I do not understand why this is an advantage to Blackman. I could understand how you could claim this is close to even. I acknowledged that Mathers is a pretty good back. May not be first in the state as you claim, but he is easily in top 5 (Kimbro is clearly faster and has more yards this year). I would still put Oaklands 2, 3, 4 and 5 backs, each with over 50 yards per game EACH, over Blackman's non first team. My point was Blackman with Mathers is good on offense, without him, that may be a different story and you are an injury away. Not clearly in Blackman's favor as you contend.

 

Passing Attack - These stats are pretty close. Oakland has Edwin Locklayer and Bradford Hughes. Seems pretty even to me, how do the stats show they are that much better. Neither passes much.

 

Defense - I guess you agree that Oakland has an advantage.

 

Special Teams - Oakland has had multiple touchdowns on special teams. How many does Blackman have? Has Mathers run any back this year? You graduated a pretty good kicker last year. Both are somewhat unproven.

 

Intangibles - While you say I was wrong, your argument gave another reason to pick Oakland - revenge for Oakland. Strength of schedule seems pretty even. Oakland beat Arlington, an otherwise undefeated team that knocked off #12 White Station, and lost to undefeated Gallatin. Blackman lost to Siegel and beat Independence who was tied for #12. Their other wins were against non 6A teams, while Oakland's other two wins were also not that impressive based upon the teams they were playing. Sure seems pretty even to me. Head coaches both have a state championship ring from District 7.

 

As for predictions, can I use your "mis-predictions" against you? Blackman has not gone undefeated

 

I am ready for a good dog fight. May the true "alpha dog" win.

Can't compare Kimbrow to Mathers, Kimbrow doesn't play in the toughest division in the state.

I like Riverdale in this game, there defense is way too good, I just don't Siegel is gonna be able to put up points against them,

Good luck to both teams though.

This is gonna be a great game, It could go either way, but I will be very surprised if the victory is more than a 10 point margin.

His highlight film for the first 4 games, is probably longer than most people have for their whole season, this kid is a beast!!

so choose your poison...try to stop the run attack and the air attack takes over...try to stop the air attack...and the run attack runs wild!

 

FYI: i just road past blackman high school and saw about 25 railroad workers laying down some fresh RR tracks right by "THE INFERNO STADIUM"! CHOO, CHOO!

Haha. Go Blaze

Blackman and Riverdale should be just as good as it was last year.

How do you guys think they will do next year with who they have coming back, Lets get your thoughts!

I was at the Riverdale and Oakland game on Thursday, and I have to say Vari Craig is REALLY good. He looked like he was scoring at will.

I loved this games because it was two of the teams I love to watch. But I have a few things for both teams. Blackman's coach is crazy, he has all the talent in the world but hardly played them, it's crazy and for Shelbyville, as much as I love watching Emmanual Andrews play...... he is kind of a ballhog. He would take the ball down the court and wouldn't make one pass and just shoot it. I want to get some thoughts on it.

As far as ineffective coaches in the 7aaa district... Dotson might be the most ineffective coach in that area. Who does this guy think he is and where does he think he coaches...walking into games in a full Jordan velour jogging suit like he just got done having a sit down with Tony Soprano and Silvio Dante at the Bada Bing. This is high school basketball not big time D-1. He doesnt coach anything like Rick Pitino or John Calapari. If he did not have talented players he wouldnt be able to win as many ball games as he does. Seriously the man couldnt coach his way out of a wet paper sack with a pair of scissors. As far a people on here saying that Turnham and Burks are ineffective and "run kids off" is besides the point. I do not know either one personally, but understand through conversations with mutual aquaintances' that they try to run their programs the right way and usually the right way is the hard way. And from my experiences with sports through the years when kids leave or get "run off", its usually more times than not that they just couldnt cut it and in the long run those teams are better off with out those players!

Hahaha... Siegal haters crack me up. They are the real deal.

Aren't Twilley and Andrews cousins?

Good luck to Siegel they will do amazing things this year.

Oakland is going to beat Mt. Juliet in the first round.

Where is Monterey?

Franklin is good, and I think they will win. Don't expect it to be easy though, it will be close.

Blackman is just as good as anyone. Everyone was saying that they would get dominated in their last three games, but yet they game out and won 2 out of 3 games, and probably could have beat Oakland. Now that they are in the playoffs they are still saying that they will get beat.

What do ya'll think?

Burned them up? You call fumbling into the enzone burning them up? I call it a lucky break!!! I assure you that you will need more than a lucky break next week...that is if you get by McGavock...

"THIS IS A REPEAT POST I MADE AFTER SOMEONE SAID THEY LOOKED FOR WARRIOR DAD LAST FRIDAY NIGHT BUT WAS NOT SURE WHO HE WAS AND WAS WONDERING WHAT COLOR RAINSUIT HE HAD ON...I'M SO GLAD I GOT THE CHANCE TO MEET HIM"

actually met warrior dad...he was wearing a pink rainsuit with yellow and green flowers on it...was about 70 years old...had black horned rimmed glasses on...his pocket radio in hand, a plastic pen holder in his pocket full of pens...and the whole game he kept yelling... "WE'RE GOING TO CRUSH YOU"...i went over to him to introduce myself...he was a little shy at first but i told him i was there to make friends...after a little chit chat...he said he was hungry and would i buy him a hotdog...so i bought him a hot dog and a coke and a snicker's bar...after the game i told him it was okay...and he kept mumbling something...after several times of me asking him what he was saying...he said: "what will i say on CoachT"...and i told him...don't worry about CoachT...i'll be glad to get on here and tell them what a nice man you are and how much you love your warriors...he hugged me and we departed! So here i am doing what i said i would do for my new friend "Mr. Warrior82dad"!

PBD

I offered to meet any of you last friday night and told you all right where I would be at but all the mouths and slams, no one seemed to show up from Blackman? Step up and meet me and I will give you something to mumble about!!!

i am hurt mr. warrior dad that you would not admit us meeting and deeply connecting last friday night... and in two weeks, if we get to play each other again...i'll buy you some more food and bring you a box of band new pens for your nice plastic pen holder! blessings...PBD

wow..

Haha! Ain't that the truth.

Who do you think should be the MVP of District 7-AAA

Is Ensworth really as good as people think they are? They could easily be 8-2.

Let's get your thoughts on it.

Someone Give Blackman Some Love lol..

How many people do ya'll think will be there?

I really wished in would have stayed in the boro... Now most likely I won't be able to attend the games... It's really dissapointing. /dry.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="
