Get a chuckle every time somebody from East TN talks about Oakland making 6A predictable, guess we're just going to ignore Maryville finishing a 26 year run of making the semis every year along with 12 titles and 5 runner-ups. Just say you want the local team to win

Rankin will be coaching till he keels over

Brentwood will have their hands full with Houston, beat a Germantown team that alot of ppl had penciled in for the title game by 20 Bradley's offense is too good to get smacked around like Riverdale did

His ability to put the ball in the endzone is pretty big when Boo Carter is on the other side. Nothing kills momentum faster than a big KO return

You left off BA

Looks like the only kicker from 1A since introduction of the award but perfectly encapsulates how Creasy excels in all 3 phases

Good point that people seldom take into account, most people only think about wins and losses. There's no shame in being just a good assistant or coordinator, behind a great HC is a equally great coaching staff

He's right, Creasy didn't become HC at Oakland until 2015. @jhawk23got them all right in a PM......... Jared White (Kicker-2008), Jacoby Stevens (WR/S- 2016) and Garrett Taylor (Kicker-2018)

Morris is from Chattanooga so I believe it, both great players that seem to be everything you would want in a teammate, I'm glad Morris still has a year of eligibility left. Since Mr. Football Finalists are being announced, a trivia question: In Kevin Creasy's 16 seasons as Head Coach, how many Mr. Football Winners has he coached (brownie points if you get the name and year)?

Congrats to both Boo Carter and Daune Morris for being named Mr. Football finalists

Sometimes you make your own luck. Left that game believing we took Mairvul's best shot and if the younger Jones kid is as good as his brother, they won't be down for long. Oakland actually had an away game @BC in 2001 and it def. struck me as unusual. BC got to find a way to pack Allan Jones somehow

We'll be OK, Ya'll been on the losing side the last 3 years so it'll be familiar territory

It's not gonna be fair trying to tackle him or Morris next year, not that Jones is any slouch nut he's not a big feller like Haynesworth

Got to get at least one jab in since we won't be playing the Rebels for the first time in a spell

Guarantee Creasy has made a note of that if regular fans can pick it up

Maybe he isn't. I know that Brent Stockstill nearly beat Maryville in 2012 on a torn acl . I'd be treating Martin as if he's 100%. Ironically, this is probably the healthiest Oakland has been as a team all year, I wouldn't mind seeing Haynesworth (who has missed most of the season) getting a few carries early, he's a load to bring down

Martin is going to play from what I've heard and I'm sure Oakland will prepare like he's 100%

The only one that was "butt hurt" was Counce, making accusations he has no proof of. Sounded like some bandwagon fan instead of someone that had been around football all his life

If you've listened to Creasy at all when given a interview this season, it's been a different tone than past years. Your right the numbers aren't that different and in some respects they lean favorably towards this team, but in past years they've been able to lean on their passing game when needed, if Oakland gets in that kind of situation Friday I'm not as confident as I've been in past years. Riverdale was really the first time i felt they came out and played well in all 3 phases so the worry that this was a team capable of winning a gold ball was well founded. 21 also played an all timer of a schedule. They still got to win two more before they can make such comparisons, if they can repeat last Friday, they got a pretty good chance

Not even the offseason yet

True, it wouldn't be cheap to hire him

An MBA alum and coach at BA? Interesting......

Honestly, I still think it's still a win for Center Grove and I still think they'd beat any public school in TN but they no doubt made Oakland better

They were basically a cheat code. Rarely do you want to be the guy that replaces "the guy" but Hunt has done as well as one can. Riverdale still hasn't been back to the BCB since Rankin left, though they weren't smart to promote from within like Maryville did
