Here is my short take on this game. I could be completely out to left field on this one but its how i see it. Oakland is a running team with a good defense. I believe if anyone has a shot to beat Maryville this year they will need to mix it up and have a balanced attack.  They will need to run and pass effectively . I just do not see Oakland beating Maryville running the ball a majority of the time. Maryville's defense from what I have seen is similar to Brentwood Academy's defense in a sense that run teams have trouble creating enough opportunities to match the score of Maryville's Offense. It will come down to how the teams matchup on both sides of the ball. I do believe both defenses are really good but I think Maryville defense will limit the effectiveness of Oaklands run game and Oakland does not have the ability to score in spades through the air.

 

 I also believe Maryville's offense will be able to score points on Oakland's defense  in spurts during the game. A run team could only beat Maryville IMO this year if the offense sputters, makes mistakes and fails to score. 

 

I just don't see this happening.

After doing games from both teams this year I would say this could be the game of the year. Maryville is their usual machine with consistent talent and well coached of course. Oakland has several players that may be more talented than most of the players on the Maryville team. This is the same thing we see every year. Can individual talent rise to the level to be able to overcome a fundamentally sound well coached team? I guess we'll see. The one thing for sure is mistakes will play a big role Friday night. If Oakland can avoid the mistakes and giving up the big plays they will have a shot and could be a close one.

    • One of the biggest loosing teams in Mid-State are the Macon County Tigerettes. I have noticed that the roster is smaller than in the years past. All the senior's have quit. We have a great group of Jr High players coming up. I sure hope they don't loose them, like they have lost so many others this year. With this young group of girls coming up, a weaker district, they should have no problem going to State. 
    • It was updated this season, because I did it.  Linder is the school's all-time leading rusher at 5,156 yards with 2,436 of those coming in 2014. 
    • Oh, I’m sure you did. Maybe you heard just a rumor, but considering we have a football practice field and a soccer field that’s frequently used for lacrosse games and practices, I highly doubt it. Let me change that. I know for a fact that didn’t happen.   Glad you finally stopped attacking a bunch of high school students, but still obsessed with the coaching staff for some unknown reason, even though you could name more than three (at most) coaches without looking it up. But now come up with something else.
    • You really mean the Price twin boys and Lyin Larry.
    • Now that wouldn’t surprise me a bit. That has been going on heavily since the days of Larry Kerr @ AC. One of the major reasons CC has never really had much at all, barring about 2 seasons in football. AC milks it dry.
