Houston has a great team this year but the 2019 team with Mr Football Pare was pretty good.  He had 2800 rushing yards.  That is alot of yards.  

Looks like the final will be 2 athletic teams that score alot.  Will give the edge to Oakland on experience and speed on defense.  Linebackers played well against BC and Houston has lots of play makers for sure. Go Patriots!!

Nice game for BC.   They just had too many players going both ways to hang in there.   On to the next one.   Go Patriots!!

Looks like the 2 teams are pretty good on both sides of the ball.  Oakland has good team speed that has helped them beat teams that had better players in the past.  Really could go either way.  Mistakes could be the difference.  Go Patriots!!

Nice win for the Patriots.  Defense caused some panic with the warrior offense and they just didn't respond.  Big games are tough to get used to and Oakland's team did respond.  On to the next one. Go Patriots!!

Looks like Oakland in order to repeat they will have to do it on the road.  Gotta clean up the turnovers and penalties.  That appears to be some of the problems.  Defense will have to get to qb and run some tighter coverage to win.  Go Patriots!!

Last years game was pretty competitive but Ravenwood had a great qb to keep them in the game.  Oakland has a good offense and a solid defense.  Should be close first half but depth is where the Patriots win alot of games.  Lots of running backs and lots of defensive personnel.   Go Patriots!!

Indy has a decent offensive running game.  They should win some games.   Their defense just doesn't have the speed to hold a good offense.  Go Patriots!!

Oakland has won titles in 5 different decades.  Its not about one coach.  All the coaches have done their best.   Certainly a good time for the Patriots football program.  Go Patriots!!

Great effort by Beech.  They played hard but Oakland defense played fantastic.  Lots of speed all over the field for Oakland and most only play one way.  44-1 for the Seniors.  Go Patriots!!

Will be closer than people think. Both teams are going to run the ball. Which team can fit the run better? My money is on Beech being able to fit the run better. I still think Oakland wins by 2 scores, but with Ligma being out with a injury on the D-Line for Oakland could be a game changer. Should be an interesting matchup.

If Oakland does have a defensive lineman out there is plenty to step up.   Dont think we do tho.   They rotate alot anyways. Go Patriots!!

Ok all the talk about each teams loss is super old already.  I could care less.   Now, it appears the 2 best teams qualified and should be a competitive game.  I give the edge to Oakland because of big game experience.  Its the 3rd trip in a row for the seniors and know what to expect.  Hoping for a good clean game by both.  Go Patriots!!

Another great effort by both teams.  Oakland has very good speed and i think that was  important in the win.  Hope to play again next year.  On to the next one.   Go Patriots!!

It dont matter where he coaches. GQ is a great guy and a fantastic offensive mind.  He gives 110%.   Love his interview in 2013 I think.   "Anything is possible."   I tell people all the time to take 45 minutes out of their life to watch that.   Go Patriots!!

I don't know about that.  The Oakland and Maryville fans dont get into specifics on injuries.  We know its next man up and usually another good player is ready.  I do hope Vaughn is ok.   Got a good future as well.  Go Patriots!!

Congrats to both on a season with adversity for both.  Oakland has had and still has players out from injury.  Have not seen Maryville play but they will be ready.  Should be a competitive game.  Go Patriots!!

Good game from Blackman.  They played well but dropped passes hurt them.  They also got tired in the 4th quarter with alot of their stars playing both ways.  They had a shot to take control of the game but the poor onsides kicks and tired defense finished them off in the 4th.   On to the next one.   Go Patriots!!

Ironically Ben Marshall Tight End, Justin Brown, Elijah Pitts, and Jacob Page... offensive stand outs are also playing defense.... 

By that I meant defense only.  

Another challenge for Oakland to beat a team twice in the same year. The offense is pretty good and defense has really stepped up since the loss.  Blackman has had equal or better teams in the last 5 years and have struggled in big games.  Thats a plus for Oakland and the seniors who have played in alot of big games.  Until Blackman puts some of their best players on defense it will be tough for them.  Go Patriots!!

Nothing so far

What a game for CPA. They played about as good as any tonight.  Not sure how they have lost any games.  Oakland will learn and get better.  Lots of games to be played.  Go Patriots!!

Will this game be on Tv ?

CPA gave a great effort and had Oakland where they wanted them last year.  It was certainly one our closest games.  But that was last year.  Oakland has gotten better all over the field this year with lots of new players.  May just be as good as last year.  Go Patriots!!

Haven't heard from him.  Will see if i can get in touch.  

Good game to Blackman.   They played hard.   Go Patriots!!
