considering our first round, this is a relatively easy second round game, but Oakland still needs to come to play a lot of good teams get beat cause they dont take the other team seriously i still think theyll pull away with ith a win though.

 

I do not think I would neccessarily consider this game "easy".

wel, we played one of the top teams in the state last week in a game that definitely shouldnt have been a first-rounder, maybe a second or third. and Blackman and Riverdale are two of the top teams in the state, there's no way that should be a second round game. of course no games in the state tournament are going to be "easy" because all the teams earned their way there, but Oakland did get off relatively easy in the scheduling this week. I cant wait til they redo the tournament format and we can actually be excited about the later games since more of the teams who should be there will be there.

Here are my keys to the game for the cavs:

O-line needs to give qb time tonight and he is capable of picking apart the D.

Defense can't miss tackles. Oakland will have some holes and big plays but the secondary can't let anything by them.

 

Hope for a clean and injury free night goodluck to both teams. Most of you have already given the game to Oakland but as we all know they still have to play the game and anything can happen. go cavs

Those of us that know better will never take Cookeville for granted no matter the year. People can kid themselves and say that Oakland is gonna walk in this one, but this game is going to be a barnburner.

Just as I stated earlier-Cookeville was way overmatched and the Patriots won big! I hope all you Patriot fans enjoyed our fine little city-if you keep playing well-we will see you again in a few weeks!

 

In the past the Joslin teams have been more competitive. In 04 3rd round of playoffs-the Cavs were defeated by Riverdale by 13 pts and then the Warriors went on to win the state tournament. Then in 05 the Cavs were defeated by the Warriors by one point in the 3rd round of the playoffs. This Cavalier teams the last few years have not been at that level. But they have some talent coming-so hopefully we will compete again one day!

    • Anyone know how the scrimmage at Central went?
    • I grew up watching Greene Devil Football since I could walk and still close with a lot of the coaches so should know my history pretty well lol.  Everything worked out the way it should have but firmly believe McCurry would have won some State Title if he wouldn't been let go (Greeneville still runs the same D he brought here and he let Ballard run the O and stayed out of it when it came to calling plays.  Greeneville was put out in the Semi's McCurry's last year against Maryville and the next year Greeneville stayed in 4a and was State Runner up playing were they were placed for the first time by the TSSAA.). It was definitely a McCurry and Ballard show that turned everything around along with the Community buying in and revamping the weight room and field house. Since Ballard got promoted to HC every Coach after him has been within the Greeneville Coaching staff because your right, they know what it takes to win a state championship.  Ballard was a master mine on O and what i think Greeneville has lacked since he left and let some Championships or making it to the Championship slip away over the last few years
    • Sounds like you know your area history well. Going back and looking the records were better than I thought but mostly still beating Upper East TN schools. Ballard sounds like he came/was promoted at the right time.    I do think it’s no coincidence that them keeping the HCs as guys who were former guys on the staff. Too many times schools want a “state championship” leveled coach from the outside but they don’t know the landscape. Promoting from within will help with less turnover and keep the program consistent.
