Very low class to call 15/16/17 year old high school girls strippers. They’re called majorettes; but I don’t expect you to be able to understand or comprehend the correlation based off your comment. Smmfh

Welcome to the T and I get exactly what you’re saying. That’s the same thing I was telling people after our first game against Germantown when we got beat 37-19. If you turn the ball over while the other team doesn’t and converts your turnovers into points it appears to you got dominated but in reality it’s more self inflicted wounds. It’s a part of the game but if you bring your C/D/F game against a good team and they’re bringing their A game, it’s gonna get real ugly fast. Domination is when both teams are playing to the best of their abilities and one is just clearly outmatched and overpowered. The second half of the Ravenwood game was domination. If we don’t bring our A game against Oakland it’s gonna get ugly fast. If we come out focused and executing like we know we can. Oakland won’t know what hit them. Teams are banking on us being undisciplined, sloppy, and out coached... and then when we show we’re not reality will set in.

Dang I could’ve sworn we just beat Germantown in the playoffs. And let’s just say Lausanne caught us with a few pieces missing. Everybody’s healthy now and hopefully we’ll win the appeal to let our db play who was ejected out for a bogus targeting call against RW

BBQ Crow post...

I know that it’s irrelevant but how does this Oakland team compare to the 2016 team? I remember that team was loaded top to bottom. We didn’t stand a chance against them... until the game started.

No one said you’re being negative. I think it’s just general curiosity and wondering if this is just a gut feeling or do you have anything substantial to expound on in support of this opinion that they are the “SUPERIOR” team in all 3 phases. I mean I guess beating Maryville 38-0 has that effect. I get it, I get it...

I disagree but please enlighten and entertain me. What makes them more talented and better coached?

Yup that’s the spirit. Lack of discipline and sub par coaching; you’d think it would get old but it never does.

Our offense is a lot more explosive than the 2016 team. The only way we don’t score over 20 is if we turn the ball over. I know Oakland has a couple studs in the secondary. Should be an interesting matchup with their Oklahoma commit DB covering our two SEC Wrs.

They just beat Maryville 38-0. We don’t stand a chance; in theory.... but in reality its gonna be a great game. Hope we don’t dig ourselves in an early hole like we’ve been doing but strangely adversity brings us together and makes us play even better.

I hate it for him too especially when he was just trying to play his heart out like he’s done all season...But I loved the way I saw him encouraging his teammates and keeping them motivated going into that second half. I agree; it just adds extra motivation to get the job done next week.

Whitehaven hasn't always had constant 3/4 stars although we’ve always had the talented athletes. It’s the way he’s built the program that has taken it to the next level. Whitehaven student athletes get recruited like they do because it’s the standard. It’s a lot of schools in Memphis that have the same caliber athletes that Whitehaven has.

But he has one of the best (if not the best) records of any head coach in the state.

Congrats to Oakland, see you in Cookeville!

Great halftime adjustments and poise. We came out in a 2 back set, ran the ball, and played disciplined football without the stupid penalties.

37-24 Haven...

It looked like a big hit to dislodge the receiver from the ball to me. I don’t get how they took the player out the game but picked up the flag and didn’t give y’all the penalty yards? You’re right far from over.

17-10 Ravenwood refs are calling a terrible game

Is this years Oakland team better than last years?

Eating good, drinking gooder, and watching football with the family. I’ll be there right at 7 soon as I get off work. One X factor will be our secondary taking advantage of their spread type offense and forcing turnovers. I saw on highlights we had at least two picks that we dropped. We should’ve scored more against Germantown last week with all the turnovers they had so the offense has to take better advantage of opportunities the defense gives us. We have the clear advantage out wide but Sneed having succes running will be the main X factor. What is Ravenwoods dline looking like?

Most definitely, defense is peaking at just the right time.

I guess we’ll have to wait and see but now that I think about it actually the first teo games I remember us getting out coached and out schemed. Defense is gonna have to play extremely disciplined and focused against Ravenwood.
