[allabouttheO]

I take it this will be Oaklands Senior night.

 

That should be a treat for the PA Guy.

[warhawks]

Oakland wins this one! GO PATRIOTS!

I take it this will be Oaklands Senior night.

 

That should be a treat for the PA Guy.

 

He probably has someone to sub in during that time.

Smyrna has the talent to win this game. It will be a hard fought game. Low scoring. A lot of ground and pound for Oakland and many different faces to the Smyrna offense. Our offense is not the same offense than that of earlier this season. They can score points now. I know your defensive line is the biggest and the best we will have seen. But understand we have something riding on this game. Our playoff life. Makes a difference when it means so much. Go Dawgs!!!!

Smyrna's playoff hopes come down to this game and a loss by another team or two. Oakland thinks they are gonna be on easy street playing them Dawgs, but they best remember that a cornered Dawg is the worst kind of Dawg there is. Another hard fought district game this will be for sure, and my money goes on them cornered Dawgs to pull the upset and keep there dreams alive. No matter what happens this Smyrna team shows why there is still some tweaking to do with this new playoff system TSSAA has set forth. When a team that is 3-5 in a weak District gets a shoe in for playoffs and Smyrna is looking at getting left out coming from the hardest District in 6A and a better record than 3-5. Something is messed up there for sure. Any way go Dawgs show them Pats that ya can never under estimate a Division Team.

Smyrna doesn't need any help to get in if they win this game. This game is for 3rd place in the district.

 

If Riverdale / Oakland win..... Riverdale, Oakland, Blackman - 1,2,3

If Riverdale / Smyrna win..... Riverdale, Blackman, Smyrna - 1,2,3

If Blackman / Oakland win..... Blackman, Riverdale, Oakland - 1,2,3

If Blackman / Smyrna win..... Blackman, Riverdale, Smyrna - 1,2,3

 

So, Blackman could finish 1 2 or 3..... Riverdale, 1 or 2..... Oakland, 2 3 or 4.....Smyrna 2 or 3.

 

Gonna be a wild 2 nights of District 7AAA football.

Yeah, I didn't think that Smyrna needed any help. Win and in. You can bet Smyrna will play their backside off. And they will need to, if they want to win this one. Oakland is a great team, with a very good young head coach and they have a style of play that will give Smyrna problems.

 

With that said, I wouldn't miss this game for the world...... It will be very physical and should be a barn burner if resent history means anything.

 

Go Dogs!!!

What happens when teams end with the same record in the district? Does it then go to overall record? This new system gives me a headache everytime I look at it....

It goes to head to head match up first unless there are three or more teams involved and each team has a win against te other teams. For instance Balckman beat us, Oakland Beat Blackman and Smyrna beats Oakland. Can't use the head to to head match up. Then the next step is overall record. Just got through reading this a couple days back on the TSSAA website. Wish i had an address for ya. So Smyrna does and does not need help. The best we can finish is third. If Blackman beats Riverdale and we beat Oakland than we have third. if Blackman loses to Riverdale then we have a three way tie for third and Oakland finishes second, Blackman third and Smyrna forth (possibly with a wild card, chances are good). No matter what smyrna has to win. 5-5 record does not work for a wild card. Go Bulldogs!!!! you can win.
