I agree...

However, I don't see how Blackman is ahead of LaVergne in points. I promise you, I really don't care lol, but I just want to know what Blackman has coming back for 2007 that is higher-ranked than LaVergne.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but they have 2 returning all-region players. LaVergne has 3.

 

Blackman has 0 returning all-state players. LaVergne has 2.

 

Blackman has no 1st team all-area returning players. LaVergne has 2.

 

Blackman has 0 retuning WR's in the top 10. LaVergne has 2. Not including maybe 11th or 12th place Darnell Horton.

 

 

A lot of other reasons, like playoff appearances, but maybe you just counted returning players, not starters.

LaVergne has 10 returning full-time starters. and 6 two, going on 3-year starters returning.

 

LaVergne is returning the 3rd ranked RB in the region. Behing two graduates so he will come into the season as the number 1 RB.

 

LaVergne is returning the region's best CB. Maybe in the state.

 

LaVergne is returning the region's number 2 WR. Maybe top 5-10 in state.

 

I took a look and Blackman pulled a lot of points based on a very big senior class next year....almost 30 seniors. In the 'post season recognition' category I had Lavergne with 7 players and Blackman with 5.

 

I try to stay just with the numbers in January. In reality, Lavergne's probably going to beat Blackman and Lebanon is going to be hard to keep out of the playoffs. However, Blackman will be a much better team that has to be taken seriously. A big crop of seniors is a wonderful thing.

 

Putting this together is not that hard since I've been doing it for several years now. I just gather the programs, links, and newspapers along the way, keep a few notes, then put it all together over the Christmas break. It's rather fun. I was also among the first to foresee Lavergne's recent success.

 

Good luck, and remember...there's always room for one more in cardinal and gold.

You guys lost some good players and a very good defensive coordinator. It won't be your year. Sorry.

since you know so much you want to clarify that?

I am not so thrilled with your findings TDC, but I do know we lose a lot of starters at OHS with this graduating class and have no clear cut QB at this time. So....... we will have to do some proving.

Coach Collins is the new assistant principal at Oakland. Riverdale's freshman program hasn't been that impressive the last two years. The end is near in my humble opinion.

Riverdale's feeder school can't seem to get things rolling in the right direction either.

 

Sweep, is that about Collins official?

WOW....great addition to Oakland!! Welcome to Coach Collins!

 

If this is so; then Riverdale has lost an important piece of an excellent coaching staff. Coach Collins is a good one and if this is his new job...........then congrats to him. He will do a great job at Oakland!
