The one great thing that came out ot the scrimage was that a big question had been answered. What does Oakland have to work on? Applause to the Oakland coashing staff for scheduling such tough competition for such a young team. The coaching staff could of hid this team from everybody else. Now each player knows what they have to work on individualy and team wise to win against a top program. Every team in the state sees the same team everyday in practice. But when you can go up against quaility opponents in scrimages that is a win win situation. Yes you got handled. But they will learn from it and it doesnt count in the loss column. Last year when Smyrna rolled into Ensworth undefeated and got beat it did something to the resolve of the team. Made them better. Same thing will happen to Oakland. Now they have been tested. Which do you think is a better scenario? 35-0 win against a team like Independence, Antioch or a Glencliff. Or a 35-0 loss to Ensworth. Ensworth came out and executed and did things the way a quality team should. Those kis learned more in one scrimage against Ensworth than ten scrimages against a lot of other teams. I am sure the coaching staff will tell you that it was not about the score or who won or lost but it was about learning, getting better, and competing on a higher level. Something you cant get from everyday practice. Good luck this year Patriots. Go 7-AAA!!!!

Reminder. Key word. SCRIMMAGE.

Scrimmages are for trying folk in new spots and teaching them how to correct their mistakes. The score is irrevalent. No one ever got a gold ball by winning a scrimmage.

Kudos for scrimmaging them.

I am sure we learned many things.

Patriots don't tuck their tails and quit.

This team won't .

Their staff will look at the film and make the right adjustments.

Wait and see.

Patriots will bounce back with a vengeance and a swagger.

Still need to work on my Lou Holtz routine eh? Oh well.........

 

I have read about how Oakland is down and how young this team is. I have seen posts about How Oakland is a 4th place team. 3rd place at best. Well that dog just won't hunt. You take this team lightly and it will be a loss for sure. Everyone knows that.

Is Oakland down? Who knows. Are we young? You betcha. We will be playing/starting close to half a dozen sophmores, and most of the older players are just now getting snaps for the first time. I could honestly see this team winning the district, I could also see them finishing 5th, neither one would honestly suprise me. Ill say this though, you better get your shots in while you can, because once Oakland's ridiculously young talent gains experience, they are going to be very tough to beat for the long term future. Alot of talent on the freshmen team as well. Sure wont have to worry about Coach McDaniel going anywhere....

      Way too early 1A favorites 2024

      By Summit22 · Posted

      Coalfield definitely isn't the same team they've had the past few years. They are still the favorites to make it out of their region because of their pitching. They have 1 arm that sits low to mid 80s and 2 other arms that are mid to high 70s with good off speed stuff. If you can avoid their top 3 bats in their lineup then you have a shot to beat them. Their 4-9 hitters are average at best. Wartburg's ace was able to shut them down last week in the game Wartburg won 4-2.

      It is the longest season. Plus, 30 games a year. No Christmas break. I would say basketball is the most time consuming.

      $750,000 Lawsuit Files Against Warren County School District

      By BDURHAM · Posted

      Winfree's senior year was the season she needed to secure more college interest. That opportunity was taken away from her. A lot of false assumptions can be made about what happened and what the options are. Unfortunately, the former coach and administration did not allow Winfree to have due process. A lawsuit was filed for a reason, and it will run its course by people who conduct discovery and take depositions. Unless the parties settle out of court, a lot of the pertinent issues will come to the public surface. I wrote about many of the issues here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/11/17/grounds-for-investigation-and-suspension/ I interviewed Winfree after she was dismissed from the team and wrote about it here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/12/01/a-new-interview-with-sable-winfree/ Winfree had been on teams in Warren County since the fourth grade and never been dismissed from a team. The real questions are why was Winfree dismissed from the team, and why the administration backed a coach whom they did not rehire.

      What is the hold up here? I have not heard anything in weeks. Are they waiting for the right person or is something else going on?
