I think they key for Oakland tonight is to play with control, even if they are pushing the ball at every oppurtunity, we make too many mistakes when it is an all out up and down the court affair, Oakland needs to find a tempo that suits them and settle into it. Oakland seems to do pretty well against smaller, quicker teams by using our size and defense to dictate the game. I feel pretty good heading into this game, but if Oakland doesnt bring it, they'll be watching the state tournament instead of playing in it

If Oakland has a tendency to run into trouble playing fast, you better watch out tonight. Red Bank likes to force tempo. Sometimes it is a double-edged sword for the Lions, but they will not sit back and let their opponent dictate the game's pace. If Oakland can impose their will on Red Bank, they will likely win comfortably. If Red Bank can pressure the Patriots, they will win the game. Either way, it should be interesting and exciting. I'm wishing the Lions the best of luck!

I think if Oakland is forcing turnovers and converting them into fast break points and doing well in the halfcourt, thats their tempo, a mix of halfcourt execution and shutting down the passing lanes on defense and to try to create turnovers, which in turn, lends itself to a uptempo game. Oakland doesnt have a tendency of getting into trouble playing fast, but there is a difference bewteen uptempo and just playing too fast, we've only done that in a few games, so I feel pretty good that wont be the case. Its so hard to press Oakland, because they essentially start 3 point guards, Oakland has had their games where they are careless with the ball, but it hasnt been as of late. I think a big factor tonight will be Oakland's size, Oakland plays 4 guys that are 6'4 or taller, whereas Red Bank's tallest player is 6'3

    • 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. 
    • No my fight, but ... if they were already college-caliber prior to transferring to BHS, and they already had FBS interest, and they end up at an FBS school, how did Bearden do anything for them?
