6A Championship Oakland v. Whitehaven

[KC1997TC]

No dog in this race, but Im pulling for Oakland. That Creasy man can coach up any team.

Yet to win the big one outside Trousdale! 50 coaches could win with talent he has at Oakland!

GO JACKETS!

Was the ejection in the first half?   If not, he'd have to sit 1/2 in Cookeville, correct?

The word we got is that he will miss the entire game and yes he was ejected in the first half. TSSAA rules different from college.

Does Woodi play one side of the D or does he follow the opposing team's stud regardless of what side the receiver lines up on? Either way, Woodi might see some action come his way because if Woodi is defending Keveon one on one in man coverage ... Balls will be thrown to Keveon. Woodi is going to Oaklahoma and Keveon is going to S. Carolina. SEC against the Big 12. How big is Woodi?

Oakland has several defensive packages, I assume, because he lines up all over the place, depending on what they call. He is 6'1" or so. Probably taller, but I'm guessing. Probably weighs 180. Again, just guesses here. He is long and really athletic.

Yea in our era yes lol but you can’t even touch a receiver now a Days . Do I feel he got Laid out! Yes indeed! Football is not the same anymore... they protect the  offensive players but there is not a single rule in playing to protect a defense player.  And it’s sad

There is definitely a rule against crack back and peel back blocking, too. Also taking the physicality out of football.

CONGRATS TO OAKLAND AND DA HAVEN ON YOUR TRIP TO COOKEVILLE. THIS ONE IS A HARD ONE TO PICK. I SAW TEXTBOOK TACKLING FROM OAKLAND THAT I HAVENT SEEN SINCE 2008. DA HAVEN IS LOADED BUT COMES OUT SLOW AT TIMES BUT WILL IMPOSE THEIR WILL ON THE OPPONENT AT ANY GIVEN TIME BUT CAN'T BE THE COMEBACK KIDS IN THIS MATCHUP IF THEY EXPECT TO WIN. COACHING IMO IS EVEN ITS ALL ABOUT WHO IMPOSES THEIR WILL AND I HAVE SEEN BOTH DO IT IN DOMINANT FASHION. PA CAN'T RIDE WITH OAKLAND BECAUSE OF 2008 SO IM ROLLING WITH DEM TIGERS FROM MEMPHIS!

Yep, you're right, I was thinking about college rules.   Tough to lose a starter at this time of the season.

We have our share of athletes, but I have no idea who 'eers' even is! He keeps getting on here saying that we are being 'modest', but I honestly think that this should be a great game. You guys look loaded. So are we. We have our share of 'studs', (the entire defensive line and their backups are nasty (South Carolina commit and several FCS offered players), the secondary is incredibly big and athletic (Oklahoma commit and several Power 5 offered players), all of the backs run hard and can take it to the house at any time (an Illinois State commit with others to follow for some of the other backs), the quarterback has several NAIA/Division 3 offers, the o-line is big and nasty)but that's not what makes this team go. They are physical, fast, and hungry. They play for each other and couldn't care less about who does what, as long as we win. I personally witnessed 100 yard rushing games by more running backs than just Xavier Myers. The team didn't care who toted the rock. I also saw several games where we threw the ball for more yards than we ran it. Again, the team didn't care how we scored. Our fullback, wingbacks, quarterback, and kicker/punter have all been players of the week in the Rutherford County paper. What makes them great, in my humble opinion, is that they don't care who gets the carries, passes, catches, TDs, interceptions, sacks, tackles for loss, etc. They play for the man beside them and it's obvious from the stands. These guys, for the most part, have played together since 6th grade. I would suggest that is what makes them as good or better than the 2016 team.

KWC, that's as good as I can give you from my perspective.
