This is the Patriots 4th.

He had 8 offers a few D1s so like Yates he had choices but from the info I have gathered the academics came first and then football thats why he chose Mercer University. Plus I'm sure nice new facilities and a chance to start as a freshman came in to play also.

That would be a huge get for Mercer to get both of those guys. Barrett was 7AAA lineman MVP last year.

" I also really like Austin Barrett out of Murfreesboro (TN) Oakland. Saw him scrimmage earlier this spring. Kid is athletic and disruptive. He's about 6-2 so not a massive body but he's a football player. He's a guy that I like in-state. He's definitely a BCS level prospect and could be an SEC guy. He's definitely a guy to watch."

Thanks MJpride. That thread hijacking was annoying. Hopefully they will move over here.

Rutherford County knocked them off 4 times you forgot Oakland beat Franklin in 2008

Neither do I. I just feel like they had a couple of bad games. I don't think our inside linebackers are poor either. I know we aren't the best in the county but, I think they have done a good job for us.

OP, I believe #32 Chesterfield is a strong saftey, #5 Swader and #20 Mitchell are the corners.

If you saw the Brentwood game and I know you were at our game I think our secondary has been a little more suspect than I thought it would have been. In seasons 2008 and 2009 3 of our top five tacklers were d linemen. I know that is not the norm but this year there is only 1 d lineman in our top 5. I just felt like poor was a strong word for those guys. I feel like they all have played well to be first year starters with the exception of Mcadoo being our lone returning backer this year. I never said you didn't say anything nice about our team and I have never said anything about Blackmans either. I know there are always better players at every position on every team.

I have followed this team all year and I don't think they are the weakest part of our D. I never said or thought we were the best at every position. I know that most coaches love to run the ball right at a defence if they can and no one has done that to us all year effectively. Our top three tacklers are all linebackers. I do think Smyrna has more size than we do on the D line and that may cause us some problems. I do agree that Smyrna has a better linebacking core they are seasoned and have had alot of playing time over the past few years compared to our guy which are mostly first year starters this year. I do wish you guys luck and hope we can meet each other again in the playoffs.

Well, The game plan should be easy for Smyrna. They should just run it inside since Oaklands linebackers are garbage.

I think you hit this nail right on the head OP.

Looks like every teams offense that plays Ohio Co has a big game. They aren't very good. Here is their shedule. Oakland will be the best team Christian County plays all year. 8/27/ @ Hancock County (Lewisport, KY) 22-58 (L) 9/03/ @ Daviess County (Owensboro, KY) 13-29 (L) 9/10/ Central Hardin (Cecilia, KY) 21-37 (L) 9/17/ Union County (Morganfield, KY) 27-47 (L) 9/24/ Owensboro (Owensboro, KY) * 0-27 (L) 10/01/ Hopkinsville (Hopkinsville, KY) * 39-36 (W) 10/08 @ Christian County (Hopkinsville, KY) * 7-71 (L) 10/15/ @ North Hopkins (Madisonville, KY) * 9-49 (L)

There were two Barretts on the field #43 Justin Junior linebacker and #77 Austin D-line Freshman. I an sure they enjoyed getting to play on the field together. And yes he looks just like Derek on the field.
