Key factor should be touches , if a kid touched ball 250-300 times in a season he better have great stats. Average per attempt should matter.

Five year contract with MTSU would be 4-5 million , so pension would be peanuts in grand scheme. He definitely would know the talent in RUCO which MTSU has left a lot on the table. I believe Middle already has who they want or I don't think move made at all.

TSSAA realigns DIV II into two classes instead of three , I would assume it will benefit Goodpasture.

I get it , don't see how small schools do it . You guys have a great environment so don't see why kids miss chance to be apart of it.

Agree, run the ball ! Weather not going affect as much on bad nights late Nov. Oakland has seen 9 to11in box all year. I have said OL/DL for Oakland been dominate as they were Friday night , blocking from TE and other backs Friday was impressive against BC talented secondary who were in box all night. Morris had 34 touches so everyone knew who was getting the ball , 4th quarter from mainly Wildcat formation. That's dominating line of scrimmage when you know its a run and who's getting it and still successful.

I agree didn't think 6A had kids that had to play every snap, not smart.

I predict Haynesworth will be Oaklands starting ILB next year. Morris I believe will be a DB/return specialist in college. Likely used situationally next year mainly (RB) offense and defense like Boo Carter.

Good luck CD2 , my only prediction is both bus drivers should stay close this game may be over in one hour fifteen minutes.

I give big respect to this Oakland team . It seems all year they have been made out to be less than years past by media and maybe some of own supporters. The 21-22 year with James , Patterson , & Horton went perfect 15-0. At this point James had 158 touches 1283 yards 22 Tds, Patterson 111 touches 801 yards 10 Tds. The 21-22 defense had allowed 172 points thus far , todays team 110 points. Isaiah Horton was big piece of 21-22 offense as well 860 yards 7 Tds. Horton definitely kept defenses honest with vertical threat. Morris has had 241 touches for 2216 yards 27 Tds. Jones 158 touches 1201 yards 19Tds. The production greater offensively this season vs 21-22 which gets me to the point , this years Oline/Dline have been under sold. Offensively the box has been loaded since week one and still had great production . My MVP is do it all TE/T/HB Duce Hewitt. Oakland as last week and this week plays teams with 3 or 4 kids list as top 50 prospects yet they have none. Bigs keep taking your lunch box mentality for next 2 weeks to work.

What's seating capacity at Riverdale?

CA dub good overall team with good offensive, good RB. MTCS great run attack with Eli Wilson and committee at RB , hard deceptive offense to stop. They have best off/ def balance good both sides of the ball. Defense going carry MTCS to Chatt. Trinity , NC QB cant do it alone, unless he rushes for more yards then he passes for this week . DCA , better balance on offense ,QB can throw ball to multiple kids . FC offense 1kid all year, mileage catches up and 10 defenders in the box. Passing game non existent.

100% , BA QB 2-9 with way more supporting cast. Both need to stay and elevate surrounding talent into playoffs. Both going be great college QBs, so stay deal with hard times and grow from it.

Germantown -Brentwood , BC-Oakland

Is it stat based, winning games(how many),reputation, recruitment, popularity, media coverage, best overall athlete? I've never understood what these "voters" base it on. 6A stats RB Bartlett rushing yds, QB Riverdale passing yards, Scoring Oaklands duo, Receiving Riverdale WR, winning, popularity, recruitment Boo Carter, media coverage Collierville QB.

Definitely , 9 is ridiculous. I'd love to get back to A, AA, AAA but never going happen.

That's a TSSAA rule not individual schools. If athlete family decides the 8th grader is going play in varsity game they are married. The 8th grader can dress for varsity game just not play.

8th grader doesn't have to be released by school he/she previously attended unless they played in varsity game during 8th grade season.

I may be wrong but wasn't the probation LA got last year to athletic department over some type of marketing not just football ? I gotta believe this is all about QB in/out from MISS. Say what you want about TD but he wasn't the one who brought this kid to LA and I don't believe LA has below average year this season if he's still coaching them. The guy worked non stop and his kids went 6 days a week during season. He also put his own money up for high end helmets for the kids and fed them non stop. My sons played else where but we worked with independent trainers at LA facility on Saturdays, saw first hand the time those kids worked. I get TSSAA enforcing rules but timing really bad , day of your last game. D2AAA already lacks volume of teams to make a full bracket (1-9) teams in playoffs. Make them 0-10 play from last place and impose your ban next 2 years. The seniors can finish careers and under classman can go elsewhere next year if football is why they attend the school.

Oakland has always been a running team QB never been the make or break for them , this game going be decided by the bigs OL / DL .

Question not relevant but you have a lot of knowledge on high school football. Max prep and I know it doesn't matter about rating till DEC but do they value private Div II AAA inter league games more than 6A. Ex: Mcallie is rated 59 strength of schedule 33 , Baylor 54 strength 34 , MUS 45 strength14 . 6A you have Germantown 44 strength 14, Oakland 42 strength 19. I get strength of schedule, but is rating due to they value DivII AAA league inter schedule to be harder than 6A? Only comparison I saw was Oakland / Mcallie scrimmage and it was close with Mcallie by a couple points but Oakland didn't have many key players participate. Morris didn't play Jones played 1 series , Haynesworth out, couple DBs out. Oakland dominated MBA was not close with those key players out or limited. So I guess my question how is the rating based. Strength of schedule without Oakland game vs Center Grove would it be way lower?

Great information but Tennessean(George Robinson) put out top100 players in TN for this year Bradley Central has two in top 10, one up for Mr Football, Four in top 100. Bearden only had two (22nd and 77th) No Mr Football Candidate. The sleeper cell going be Riverdale with 3 in top 50, one up for Mr Football. Bearden fans don't feel bad poor Oakland had 2 in the back (82nd and 94th), No Mr Football and none on offense. I'm sure you want to put your bets behind BC and the Oakland under, lol

Oakland D has not given up many points but pass defense is something they need to sharpen up before playoffs. It's tough for Oakland to put up 50 on teams because most opponents slow the game down, Oakland run first offense, running clock shortens game. Oakland 35-10

I agree great player got big future in college and likely NFL. Likely best RB in OAKLAND history.

Do you have a private ahead of them in TN?

If the NIL takes off in high school Ensworth ,MBA ,BA will all become top programs. I think Williamson county has so many options for private schools it waters down the talent pool. Having 9 divisions in high school football to many below average clubs making it into playoffs. CPA is well coached lost its QB to injury, they should have moved up DivIII . PC does a great job of keeping kids in public program, they are involved in interacting with peewee, JV football. Oakland has elite program, only had 3 kids in TN top 100 prospects first one 66, tells me coached very well. Riverdale having great year with 3 kids in TN top 100 all in top 40 of ranking. Rutherford county doesn't have a lot of private options so a lot of talent in public schools. Overton no clue other than 2 great private schools less than a mile away.
