"Battle of the Boro"-Round TWO!

[hicotton]

Lost Old Dad asked a really good question on the Maryville-Farragut board. I'm going to rephase it to get your opinions. I would like to here from Oakland and Riverdale. Assuming your team wins, who would you like to face in Round 4...Maryyville or Farragut? I know, one week at a time, but let's just imagine here. Good luck to both teams, stay healthy, and I am hoping to see either team in Maryville in Round 4.

 

Having grown up in East TN, I am VERY familiar with the football program at Maryville. The Oakland/Riverdale matchup this weekend will be a VERY PHYSICAL football game. Hopefully, no significant injuries come out of this one. Either team will have a BIG, BIG challenge next weekend should Maryville beat Farragut (again). Personally, I can't see either one beating Maryville. However, as the old adage goes, it's awfully hard to beat a team twice. Maryville beat Farragut 35-32 in their previous meeting. That rematch has all the makings of a classic of its own.

 

Clearly, all of the heavyweights are in this half of the bracket. (yeah, i know, now I've made all of the Breatwood folks angry). Ah well, such is life.

This game should come down to two things. Can the Warrior defense shut down the Oakland running game and will the Oakland defense make the adjustments to shut down the Warrior passing game which has made major improvements since the last time they played. If you break down the past 4 weeks head to head, you have to give the edge to the Warriors on how they played against each of there opponents and the improvements that they have made. The Warrior Defense has found there stride. I see this one close, but not that close. Riverdale 21 Oakland 10.. Get there early because there wont be a seat left in the house!!

 

Nevermind that Oakland has only given up 14 points in the last 5 games..............

and who were the power house teams they played?????Mt Juliet?.....lol

[patsprez]

Yes, that same Mt Juliet team that stomped hendersonville. You remember them, right?

[Blazeallthewaze]

My prediction: Oakland 21 Riverdale 14. Oakland wins because of the same reason Riverdale beat Blackman. Redemption, revenge, more motivation due to losing to them earlier in the year. Oakland will want it more than Riverdale just like Riverdale wanted it more than Blackman. Riverdale will think they want it just as much but Oakland will actually want it more. Oakland gets there chance at revenge just like Riverdale got theirs and that means a loss for Riverdale.

GO WARRIORS! Everyone should know that what happened last week, last month or 2 months ago will not matter this week. This will be one heck of a ball game! GO WARRIORS!

oakland will win by 10-14 points, but the game won't be that close. Oakland does not score a lot each quarter, but they take the whole quarter to score. Riverdale can't score unless they can get Oakland's offense off the field.

I know one thing...... There will be a handful of Memphians headed to Murfreesboro Friday to root for Coach McDaniel and the Patriots! As we traveled last week headed to Cookeville and got stuck in the worst traffic jam ever and had to turn around and come back! Good Luck to both teams!!! Just hope the Patriots can pull off ROUND TWO!!!

is he from memphis? Either way I want to thank you in advance for coming to RIVERDALE i hope you have a good time except that we are victorious

[lilcoach7]

Actually he is from Memphis! and a graduate of Tennessee Tech! Sure would be nice for the Patriots to win a State Championship on the same field he played on! AND I have been to Riverdale many times..... On the sideline and in the weightroom! Thanks for the invite though!

I cannot wait for this game! Is it true that they are expecting upwards of 10,000 fans?
