Congrats to Houston on the victory and state championship, well deserved

Clock management by Page at the end was brutal

Bradley didn't play with a backup QB. Kaleb Martin played the whole game

Earlier this season it was “Rebelfan101” and he was a Maryville “fan”

That’s true, Oakland is pretty young overall. They will be even better next year

Hats off to Bradley for fighting back. Seen a lot of teams give up when falling behind to Oakland like they did. Congrats on a great season

He was reminded on the original thread created for this game. Someone tried to tell him how good Center Grove was, but his argument was that Bradley has way more talent on its roster

Creasy has always placed a big emphasis on special teams. And Jared White was probably the best kicker I've seen at that level

2 of those are right, Creasy wasn't the coach at Oakland when Jack Jones was there

Let's try this again...

Without question the offensive/defensive lines are a huge part of their success and I'm not sure they ever receive enough credit, this season and past seasons included. Not a bad call on the MVP either, Hewitt certainly doesn't get the stats but it shouldn't be understated how important he is to the team. As you mentioned, he's used in a few different positions and can do a lot of different things for them. If he's not the most valuable he's certainly in the conversation

121-9 at Oakland is quite a stat

Yes

I don’t think dominated is the way I would describe it. Riverdale outplayed them in the 2nd half for sure. They were able to put some long scoring drives together but Oakland also turned the ball over deep in their own territory up 17-7 in the 3rd

Agreed. Think it’s easy to just assume that Oakland will get to the semis again because they always do, but as @MidTennFootball has already pointed out, it’s possible that Riverdale is just the better team this year. Obviously doesn’t mean that Oakland won’t win but Riverdale shouldn’t be written off, because they’re good enough to win it all as well

Won’t be surprised at all if Oakland wins but I will be surprised if it’s that lopsided

I wouldn’t pencil Oakland in just yet, Riverdale is pretty tough

Nice, I would agree that it’s probably top 10

Across the nation is a bit of a stretch I’d say but I get the point. Should be a great game

They did give Oakland their closest game of that entire playoffs

3 in a row had never been done in 6A until Oakland last year, so 4 in a row definitely hasn't

Believe it’s scheduled to be on NFHS

No idea but just from an outsider's perspective, if Webb wants to continue coaching I would imagine the job would be his. Not sure what the specifics were regarding his resignation before though

I'm expecting this game to go pretty much as you described it, especially if MJ isn't able to move the ball with regularity and keep their defense off the field for sustained periods. Oakland's run game will wear you down as the game goes on so you have to be able to help your defense out as much as possible
