Condolences to the Oakland Family

Deepest sympathy from the Riverdale family to the Oakland family.

 

For those of you that may not be aware, Oakland senior footballers Kaelin Griffith and Johnathan Murphy were involved in a car accident that took the like of Ashley Murphy, Johnathan's younger sister. Ashley was a sophomore at Oakland.

 

From a PM that I received last night, I understand that Johnathon's injuries were serious but not life-threatening. I'm not sure if Kaelin's injuries were serious. Perhaps someone can update us.

 

This is a tough time for the guy's from Oakland and puts all the other things in perspective. You have my prayers, and especially for the Murphy family.

Thank you everyone for the prayers for the Griffiths and Murphys. They are really good families with strong Christian backgrounds. Right now, I cannot imagine how the families feel. Losing a child is the ultimate test of faith.

 

You can be sure that the team and the coaches are being as supportive as possible. However, prayers are desperately needed to help with not just the physical recovery but the emotional one as well. Please pray for GOD to comfort this family and lay his protective hand upon them. Medical costs will be astronomical . I am sure that a fund will be set up to help them and anything that could be donated to help them would be appreciated I am certain. The oldest son Micheal , who also played football for OHS, was on a Mission Trip when this happened. This family has given and given to the community and it is time for us to give back to them.

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
