FYI- on Sat night no one will be allowed on the MTSU field so it's great to have your team come to YOUR fans' side to celebrate rather than sprint to the opposing side to grab your crotches and taunt. Good luck to both teams. I am rooting for Franklin and don't see how they can be beat, but I admit I haven't seen Oakland but am hearing alot so if you do win, Pros to you, you will have earned it. Only 27 hours to go. To everyone involved, enjoy the experience, you'll always remember it...win or lose, trust me, I've been thru both.

 

 

Every team can be beaten. Just with some you have to look a little bit harder for weaknesses than others.

I completely agree and if they pull it off, I'll be impressed and the 1st to congradulate them.

 

 

I just think its a bit overblown about how Oakland really hasnt won any big games when it could not be further from the truth. Riverdale, Smyrna twice, and obviously Ooltewah, were all games where there was a big piece of doubt whether or not Oakland would be able to win.

 

Both Oakland and Franklin are similar in that they both have had big targets on their backs all year long and both of their losses were where they were in control late, only to lose the game. In terms of scheme and how they play, Oakland and Franklin are different, but they are alike more than folks know, and that is why both of them are here.

Actually, it's never really known how good each team is related to the other because they usually have no common opponents. WhiteStation appeared strong, but apparently their region was not as strong as region 6. It will be interesting to see which team can bring home the gold ball. I'm hoping for a good (close) game as the 1A and 2A games tonight are rather boring.

morning of... I'm sure many of the players are lying restlessly in bed and won't recieve too much sleep tonight. Ateast that's how it was for me four years ago. Good luck to both teams. I'm obviously pulling for FranklnliN but I honestly hope for a good hard fought close game. Each team deserves to be here. Franklin fans be careful on the 30 minute(ish) drive. It will seem much longer. Oakland fans you obviously dont have far to drive but still be safe travelng. The atmosphere should be great. Can't wait to see everyone tomorrow night!

Finally game day. Both teams have worked hard to get here and they deserve the recognition that goes with it. For some it will be the final game they play, for others it is a beginning. Reguardless what it is the main thing is relish it for the memories will last a lifetime.

 

Young Men I hope you have a safe game and that EVERYONE comes thru injury free.

 

For me I am going to admit I am pulling for Oakland to win. They have the weapons and the skills to do it.

 

For both teams, HAVE FUN and play hard.

 

Go Pats and bring home the GOLD!

    • 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
