If Beech were in the east they may have ended up 3rd or even 4th. Congrats to them on a good season.

Blackman was the second best team at the end of the year. Would beat Beech easily in my opinion. Beech was a good team though. Still take my hat off to them.

Does middle TN have as many lower classification teams? Most of the teams in the midstate are 4-6. This obviously makes a difference.

It's no guarantee that they win it the next 2 years, but if I had to make a prediction right now I would agree with you. It's very possible if not likely that Oakland will be better the next 2 years than they were this year.

agreed. They might be scary good in two seasons.

Oakland will very likely NOT catch up.  My assumption would be that Creasy will be recieving some very attractive offers in the future that will be impossible to ignore.  If he stayed at Oakland for the next 12-15 years he very well could get it done.  He has shown himself to be an elite coach with a great situation and location for serious talent.  

Maryville was fortunate to have GQ as long as they did.  HE made Maryville become the Maryville that everyone once feared.  He left and things slowly have turned.  Everything has a season.  Nothing last forever.  One day Creasy will move on from Oakland and the same will occur there.  They will still be pretty dang good for awhile and eventually things will play out.  Before Creasy, Oakland had 3 state titles.  Before GQ, Maryville had 3 as well if I'm not mistaken.  Point is, neither team was really anything special before those two coaches showed up.  

If Creasy stays it wouldn't be impossible, and I personally think they win the next two years. However, he will more than likely leave at some point, and the continuing growth of Rutherford county will not make winning any easier. More high schools are bound to come and even out the talent a bit more.
