Oakland needs to get it's speed on the edge more with toss sweeps, stretch plays and bubble screens that is how you beat region three teams not running up the middle.

 

 

Eh well that is not really the way Oakland has attacked on offense, its been bewteen the tackles, with a toss or stretch to the outside a time here or there. I am very confident, however, that the coaches will find a way to put our boys in the best position possible.

 

As for the possibility of rain, I do not think it really effects either team, especially Cookeville.

I think Sam Bass needs to get more rushing attempts and I think he is forgotten on defense as well. He made the big tackle against Smyrna in overtime to win the game so look for him to step up again if thisg ame gets close. Also lookout for Chanz Boyd. He has been banged up with an ankle injury since the Wilson Central game but hes 100% healthy now to run the quick handoff plays to the outside and the post patterns opposite Chris Johnson. Before his injury he and Chris lead the region with ypc and yac. I pray this game doesnt come down to a field goal in rainy weather !!!

I agree about Sam, but I think part of is that he plays alot on defense, and is def not forgotten as he leads the team in tackles. I think for Chanz, it is just a matter of him getting back into the swing of things, he is very dangerous when the ball is in his hands. The mistakes are going to have to be minimized as Cookeville maybe the most disciplined team Oakland will face this year

I agree with you 100%. Bass has been under-rated this year in the media. He was in the top 10 in the mid-state in tackles last yr at LB and when he got the ball.....you knew it was money. Bass is an excellent TEAM player and I am sure is just happy to be winning, but I think he deserves more kudos for his performance. the same can be said about Anthony Amey. Folk are so wrapped up in Precious and Mcadoo that these guys get shoved in the background.

keyword ... "folks". None of the players care who gets the ball,makes the tackle, or scores the touchdown. They all just wanna win. They are an inexperienced group in the playoffs but i see them coming together and taking care of biZZZZZZness ! Alot of kids are forgotten. The mayberry kid has atleast 8-10 tackles a game and killed WC last friday, Buddy has filled in great since Boyd was hurt, and lets not forget Mr.Rico! He fills up the middle and allows linebackers to be able to get to the ball bc of him closing holes!

    • A lot of people don’t realize how valuable JMO was. QB, safety, punter and holder on pat’s. Kid did it all. I fully believe if he was healthy Dburg would have made it to the ship last year. 
    • If Dyersburg quarterback who is also starting safety hadn’t got hurt it would of another blowout 
    • For perspective the county school I’m associated and graduated from only has 7,600 people in the entire county with a median age of roughly 47. That’s not very many 14-18 year olds to choose from. I think the football team had 25-28 kids or around there.  On the other hand Shelby County has 916,000+ with a median age of 36. This isn’t just about Shelby county, but all the big ones with huge economic advantages!  An urban/rural split would benefit tons of smaller schools that have to compete with counties with 120x the amount of people. Especially the ones who can pick and choose their players from a pool like that!   I also agree with Pujo about charter and magnets and they will eventually be phased into the private divisions because it is obviously an advantage plus all the funding! Add that county schools can’t go recruit outside of their county like charters and magnets! 
    • They should be starting next week and go from there.  They never do Spring Practice in April
