Smyrna/Oakland Is This The Game We Thought It Was Going To Be?


Recommended Posts

RC Kickoff Football Game Of The Week

 

Oakland continues to roll with another big win over Cookeviile and Smyrna is coming off a heart breaking loss to Riverdale. At the beginning of the year everything pointed to this game on the calendar to be the game that could decide the region champion. With the injuries Smyrna has suffered and the emotional losses, is this still the game that surprises some people or just an exclamation point to an already outstanding season for Oakland?

We will need a perfect effort. And some help from Oakland. It's been a disappointing season. Lost some games we should have won. Shoulda, coulda, woulda as the saying goes. But none of that matters. Oakland is a beast on both sides of the ball. Can not commit turnovers. Oakland will have the ball enough without our help. And can't get caught up in the emotions and commit those stupid penalties. It's gonna be physical for sure.

Oakland's one weakness is the short pass over the middle and the deep ball down the middle. If Smyrna can concentrate on this they may be able to put up some points. Swing out passes or sideline passes could be Smyrna's doom. Oakland has taken the sideline away from every opponent they have played so far. Field position will play a big roll in this game. Smyrna cant afford to play on their side of the field all night. If Oakland gets up early you'll see the seconds getting a lot of playing time saving the starters for the playoff run. Good luck to both. Either way it would be nice to see the all the Rutherford County teams go deep into the playoffs.

    • Wouldn't the easiest move be to move McCall up to HS Principal and have Gulley take over as MS Principal? 
    • Bounder, you are correct. And it is so easy today. As a civilian today, I can check my 6th grade grandson’s grades in real time. 46 years ago as a young head coach, I knew who were my weak students and would do a weekly check. A decade and 1/2 later as an administrator, I would ask guidance for attendance, and grade reports as I did my own discipline reports. 5 years later I could run all those reports in a few minutes. today Text one the Secretaries and they can create a red flag report only printing the names with D’s and F’s or attendance and discipline issues. You are not even dealing with a whole team. The only problem with modern technology is someone who might not want to know.
    • No I didn't,  I just know jellico lost a few and should in playoffs tho....but they have alot coming in the next few yrs
    • The buck stops with the head coach, he should have know if any of his players  were not making the required grades. Either he has someone checking weekly before games and reporting to him or he should do it himself.
