No one trying to down play anything. But if you schedule wins and some have posted about how good Oakdale has played with 15 players and none of it is true. Oakdale has a lot more players than a lot of 1A schools. Someone even bragged that you hung 50 points on a team! I want my team to win but I want that win to come against a tough opponent. Also so if they make the playoffs by beating the bottom teams in 1A and 2A, is that really an accomplishment? If that happens I see a beat down coming in the playoffs. Just sayin.

Just thought I'd throw my two cents in. Oakdale goes back and forth every single year as the smallest PUBLIC school in the state who actually has a football team. All 3 schools that Oakdale has played this year have been larger schools than Oakdale. The most recent win that you say people are bragging about scoring 50 came against Oliver Springs who is listed on the TSSAA website as having 437 students to Oakdale's 181. OS is a district game so Oakdale has no choice but to play them so this had nothing to do with "scheduling a win".  This win was big for Oakdale because not only does OS beat them very badly every year, OS was a State Quarterfinal and State Semifinal team just a few years ago. This same OS team minus a few players scored 72 on Oakdale last year so this was kind of a big deal for them.  As far as beating a tough opponent, every opponent is tough when you only win 2 games every year.  And as far as number of players, Oakdale does have about 28 players but there are only about 15 kids that get any sort of significant playing time.  You had to research the teams they play so you obviously know nothing about Oakdale.  Know what the heck is going on before you climb up on your soapbox next time.  You made yourself look silly.

BTW, the team folks are bragging about Oakdale hanging 50 on put 70 on Oakdale last year & are much larger. Oakdale does have better numbers this year but just 2 or 3 years ago I can remember being at Oakdale and while the team was on the field they had 3 players on the sideline & one of them was on crutches. This team has made unbelievable progress in just a few years. Go to the team schedule section on here & look at the last 10 years for Oakdale. If you don't see then what all the excitement is about then I'm finished talking about this with you as we will never agree.

Did a little research and Oakdale has been outscored 260-47 by Oliver Springs over the past 5 years which is an average of 52-9.  They also average less than 2 wins per season over the last 10 years so I can see why they are excited.  As an outsider, I couldnt be more happy for them.  Good luck the rest of the way

I've not done the research but that sounds about right. I've been following Oneida football since 2005 so by district / regional association I've been following Oakdale also. I'm tickled to death for them & the way their season started. It don't matter what happens from here on out but this week in the paper under district standings Oakdale is listed #1!!!

    • Fortuitously encountering Clint amidst the ambience of Goodyear this morning sparked an impromptu yet intellectually stimulating conversation, wherein we engaged in a rigorous assessment of prospective candidates for the esteemed role of head football coach. Our discourse, characterized by its spontaneity and depth, led to the formulation of astute observations and discerning judgments regarding the suitability of various individuals for this pivotal position. Allow me to elucidate the fruits of our collaborative contemplation: This commentary endeavors to offer a discerning articulation of my subjective viewpoint, emphasizing a conscientious commitment to maintaining impartiality and refraining from any semblance of derogation directed towards individuals.  Those who possess meritorious qualifications for the esteemed head coaching role, delineated without hierarchical precedence, include: Rennard Woodmore, an esteemed alumnus of the Yellow Jackets, presents a magnificent pedigree, having held prominent positions in head coaching capacities across various regions. His pivotal role as a coordinator for teams contending for state championships further enhances his stature in the realm of football leadership. Kyle Gregory, erstwhile adorned in the resplendent gold insignia, though lacking direct head coaching experience, brings to the fore his invaluable insights garnered as a coordinator for esteemed teams, showcasing an acute understanding of the requisites for triumph whilst attired in the esteemed purple and gold regalia. Steven Jackson, whose contributions transcended mere clipboard duties under the tutelage of Kevin Creasy, emerges as an exceptional candidate for Trousdale County. His prior tenure and triumphs as an assistant coach underscore his suitability for the role. The sole drawback lies in his lack of affiliation with Trousdale County as an alumnus. Brandon Eden's extensive tenure within the chronicles of Trousdale County football, spanning a significant portion of its State Championships, coupled with his successful stints as a coordinator across diverse locales, underscores his candidacy despite a dearth of direct head coaching experience at the high school level. Davy Cothron, while beset by a modest playing career, has emerged as a luminary in offensive strategy, drawing parallels to the transformative appointment of Barker in 2015, thereby warranting consideration for his proven acumen in this realm. Joshua Hackett, notwithstanding his non-alumnus status, has left an indelible imprint across Middle Tennessee, distinguished by his adept curation of formidable defensive units as a coordinator at Watertown, albeit without direct head coaching experience. Kevin Creasy, the epitome of coaching prowess, merits an offer irrespective of his current inclinations, his unparalleled capacity to secure victories transcending geographical and institutional bounds, potentially extending to a role as Director of Schools should it align with his aspirations. Conversely, individuals who have not demonstrably earned the mantle of head coaching, enumerated without sequential precedence, encompass: Brad Waggoner David Barker Paul Pitts Jeremy Pruitt Clint Satterfield Robbie Atwood Wesley Satterfield Ben Johnson BJ West Whom do you all deem most fitting to assume the mantle of the next coach, and what rationale informs your choice? Conversely, whom do you perceive as ill-suited for the role, and what underpins your reasoning for their exclusion?
    • He's a Clinton fan.  But I wouldn't admit that either.  
    • Their any schedule out their for team camp?
    • This sums it all up to perfection.  
    • Just read the article! In one statement he says he didn’t know the player was academically ineligible yet he also says he met with a teacher in 2022 to discuss putting the player in credit recovery.  I find it hard to believe a Head Coach doesn’t know a player is not eligible; are they not responsible for clearing them to the TSSAA?
