That's a very good point...Oakland had a TON to replace, and I am honestly surprised with how well they have reloaded. I didn't expect them to be at 13-0 again with a very real chance to run the table. That's a credit to Creasy and his staff (which is one of the best in the entire state). There are a couple of people at Oakland that aren't my favorites, but I love Kevin Creasy and respect the heck out of him. 

However, it was also Maryville's second game without the best coach in the history of TN HS football, and they were in adjustment period as well. Also, I don't think it's silly to state that the absence (or lack thereof) of a D1 QB would be a deciding factor in a very close game between two evenly matched teams. 

Fair enough. IMO if Maryville wins it will be because of Isaiah Cobb, he is exactly the type of back that can give Oakland problems

"In the three years I've been here, he's the best quarterback we've faced," Oakland coach Kevin Creasy said. "Their backup (Brandon Carnes) did a good job, but that speaks volumes about their program."

We need to work on Cecil a bit, but I'll give him a pass. At least he is doing articles that we don't get in our local paper of record. He also called it Shield Field in one article instead of Shields Stadium/Jim Renfro Field.

I may of done that last week on my show also even though RebelWoman87 schooled me on the history..

Renfro coached from 1943-1955 and won 65% of his games. 

Stanley B. (Skeeter) Shields was the mayor of Maryville for 32 years and was the long time PA announcer at the Jim Renfro field.

He was known for sometimes having an open mic. Stars , Barney Sox and some of the others can probably recall some classics. 

I remember that Skeeter would call out the jersey number of the player carrying the ball WHILE THE PLAY WAS ONGOING.

Probably didn't know the kid's name but would announce the number.

Thanks.  I was just fixing to ask why yall call it the Skeeter at times.   Guess this answered my question.

    • What you are saying is true about high school athletics being a privilege and not a right, but NO ONE ever knows what will happen if a case goes before a jury.  Again, I have been in a couple of jury rooms and it's always a little crazy.  That is why my prediction is you will see a settlement before the case goes to trial.
    • What rules does everyone not operate by?
    • So you want a have and have not split? Sound like the perfect ramp to elitism. Tell those rural kids that they'll never be able to compete with those urban kids. They're not good enough right? Or we could just do what travel baseball does and have tournaments every weekend and give kids big fake rings for winning a few games. The suburban public schools are typically the ones with more funds. Urban and rural schools have more in common in finances than they do with rural schools. I've taught and coached in all of it. The difference is attitude. But if you're jsut going to say you can't compete because you don't have the money then that's an excuse. Especially in basketball. The balls are the same size, the rims are the same height and size. The ball dribbles the same in some rural gym in mountains as it does in the FedEx forum. Charters come and go like a fart in the wind. They are no real threat to anyone. Magnets could be but rarely do they win either. It just hasn't been seen in Tennessee.  
    • That’s a good line. Wins would be Soddy, Howard, and Ooltewah. Maybe East Ham again or Knox Central. Tyner maybe but being that late in the year it’s hard to say. I don’t think we get by Red Bank this year.    Rhea could be anywhere from 2-8 to 6-4. 
    • I agree with the Farragut and Bradley claim. Those will both be wins. Bearden like you say is depending on when you get them in comparison to when the wheels fall off.  As far as West goes I’m 50-50. They have been able to reload so far so until they show me they haven’t I can’t count them out.
