Good luck to Riverdale this year!

Who do you think is cheating?

This post is so wrong.

Thank you. Ravenwood sounds like they'll be solid again; Hester has done a great job. Is Wilson Central awful? Armstrong was the back up last year, iirc? I think he'll be fine. Obviously nothing like Jennings, but he's a once in every 10-15 years player. And that's good to hear. Is the name Oliver? And Watson obviously will make that unit better.

Scores for both scrimmages? Who's QB? How was the offensive line?

Shad will win 6-7 games a year there regularly and have 8-9 win teams, too. That man is the real deal. He proved it to me when he won at MTCS. I think he gets it turned around immediately. Good to hear WB's scrimmage against Cleveland went the Govs way. By the way, somewhat off-topic for this post, the fullback #45 on Oakland, Hurd I believe, is a beast. He'll shine in Coach Creasy's Wing-T.

They very well could be flip flopped. Just worried about the Blaze offense only returning one starter. That D could be best in the state.

1. Maryville 2. Oakland 3. Whitehaven 4. Blackman 5. Riverdale 6. White Station 7. Science Hill 8. Smyrna 9. Ravenwood T10. William Blount T10. Dobyns-Bennett

Oakland '08

Coach Aydelott was assaulted at school today and had to be taken to the ER. http://www.dnj.com/

Of course not. They'll be the offensive and defensive coordinators.

Fair enough about R'dale being the team to beat. I just don't know what they lost or what's returning, but just my opinion of course. Oakland will be good enough to beat everyone in the district if they have luck. Their middle school feeds them athletes every year and usually wins or plays the Middle School Championship.

I think they'll struggle with the Murfreesboro teams (Oakland, Riverdale, Blackman & Siegel) and Smyrna because of the speed those schools have, but they should be able to win atleast one of those games a year while beating Warren and Coffee consistently. Right now my region prediction: 1. Oakland 2. Riverdale 3. Smyrna 4. Blackman 5. Siegel 6. Cookeville 7. Coffee County 8. Warren County Teams 3-6 can all be switched around. I think the Region will be down some this year.

Shad is going to win at WB. They will win 6 or more games this year.

How does Blackman feel hiring Watson? Will the staff change?

Something isn't adding up.

Siegel and Riverdale both 1-3... Surprising to me.

Can't wait...

Who's on your mind?

Would love to see it.

Would be great to see him go to Oakland.

Carson - Eagleville, Matthews - Catholic? Both would be excellent hires, but Matthews probably wouldn't leave Knox Catholic because the private school set up.

The last part of your post is the reason why they don't need to hire White. Too many great coaching options available to settle for less.

I'm not sure the discipline would be fixed, because if it was going on under White's watch as a coordinator, it would continue as a head coach. While he may have done the little things well, McDaniel ran the show on defense from what I saw. Now of course I've never been in a staff meeting with the Oakland coaches, so I don't know if White ran the show behind closed doors, but it's Gary Rankin's defense. McDaniel brought that defense with him to Oakland. The times I've watched him coach, whether it be at 7v7 camps, scrimmages, practices, or games, he's focused in on the defense. He lets the Offensive coordinator run the show on offense (which I believe screwed Tommy because went to the shotgun after going 12-1 the year before in the I form) and seems more like a manager. This hire could set Oakland back for years if they get it wrong. Agreed?

Kris White is no where near the coach Tommy was. He will run that program into the ground if Spurlock let's him. Oakland will be the most undisciplined team in the county if White is hired. Tommy ran that defense and just gave Coach White the title because he didn't need it. Oakland needs to go out of the program to find their man. Spurlock, don't kill your program with this hire.
