This is a game, I can't get any good read/feel on.  I think Maryville wins it in the end.  Oakland has more "talent" in the standpoint of future college players respect.  I don't know how often Jack Jones will get to go up against the kid from Maryville, but that would be worth the price of admission alone.  Part of me thinks Maryville wins by 3 tds and the other part thinks it could be a 7-6 game with defenses ruling the night.  Should be a classic.  I wish Blackman could be the ones giving it a shot, but can't do much about that now.  I guess, by law, I am supposed to say go 7AAA, but I just don't have a good read on this one.

I'm with you bb. I'm not sure what to expect out of Oakland. When it's 3rd and 5, are they more likely to run it or throw it?

For those interested, Stork Montgomery has posted about 28 minutes of game film and post game interviews from the Blackman/Oakland game. It's good stuff. Thank you Mr. Montgomery for your good work.

Honestly If you pick your team to win by 1 point IMO you don't really believe that they will win... I can't remember the last high school game that I've watched that was 1 point... People are giving maryville a chance but it's like how many times do you have to see Maryville win before you believe the hype? No one in there right mind would pick against maryville and believe it... The only people who should really believe that Oakland can win are the Oakland players and staff... Maryville 21 oakland 10

I have heard that this is the best Oakland team to come along in a while and that they will upset Maryville. But, they  said the same thing about SH.

 

I am taking the Rebs by 10 points.

Ok we have already discussed the "Maryville hype" Yes they deserve the hype. You're just reiterating an unnecessary topic. How about Oakland deserves to be in the position they are in. Too many people are giving them zero chance. People should put bias aside.

I was just informed that this could possibly be the best team the Rebels has ever faced. Reacon that's just coach speak...

[MLREB]

From a Maryville fan....The Rebels will have a tough time defeating Oakland.
