Firm foundation. I expected them to be better this year, but in all honesty the Gold Ball was a total surprise.

 

With the staff that is there now they have set the rebar, now its time to pour the concrete!

 

Players be ready to work HARD starting in the morning! I can almost smell the sweat over on this side of town, and I know it is NOT R'dale.

Aren't ALL the teams in our district going to be 6A this year? I still can't used to not typing 'Region'.

 

 

It is always tough to repeat. Riverdale could never do it as good as they were through the years and it took some very special players for Smyrna to repeat. I envision that Oakland will be better this next season, but that may not mean a state championship. With that said, its obvious that Thomas has set the bar where state championships are now to be expected, not just a hopeful whim of a fanbase. It will be interesting how Oakland approaches playcalling on offense, considering that they are losing 3 great backs in Bass, Nelson and Valentine. I look for Christian to take a bigger role in the offense next season, its pretty obvious that he is a very saavy qb

I can see a few subtle changes, but don't think the mentality of running down someones throat aint gonna be there either. They may throw just a little more but not much!! Power football here we come.

 

 

We will miss the services of many of the srs who were the heart and soul of this team. They fought their way to the top and will always be remembered as bringing OHS back to glory. I do feel like we have a solid weight program and that our core of talent in the upcoming jr class will bring many thrills to come. We have many skill players, and I hope we can adequately replace those LBs and linemen. I think Dre Frazier will be front and center and Buddy Mitchell will continue to cement his reputation as one of the top athletes in the region.

 

I am hoping that we have a better yr in freshman ball.

 

Lilcoach, will you be joining the staff? Do you know if any of our assts. have set their sites on any of the open head jobs?

 

Glad to be rid of Lebanon!

    • 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.
