Battle of the Boro - Riverdale (5-2) @ #1 Oakland (7-0)

[GoPats2019]

This coming Friday writes another chapter in one of Tennessee HS Football’’s best rivalries. Riverdale comes in looking for a share of Region lead and Oakland looks to extend their winning streak to 8 over their arch-rival. 
 

Both teams coming off a bye week and relatively healthy.

This is the one game I wish Creasy would keep the starters in all 4 quarters. It's gonna get ugly

Not a close game, Riverdale has proven to be a hoax this season..,. Although I knew it all along! Sorry LOD.

While I love the home and home series; part of me wishes this game was still played at MTSU. Those crowds of 15-20K were amazing back in the day.

That would be nice, but with so many schools in the city now we struggle to fill our own stadium. Playing Riverdale  there in 1998-2000 was awesome, other than that I don't really miss playing at Middle

Oakland 56

Riverdale 7 

Oakland is already up 14-0 and its only Monday.

The 1998 QF game was the largest HS football crowd I've ever been a part of.

Probably a statement that most people that attended will echo. Crazy thing is our biggest challenge in the playoffs was against Cumberland Co. in the 1st round. As someone that started following Oakland during some pretty bad years, beating Riverdale in 1998 was pretty surreal and I can remember more about that game that than the title win over Hendersonville

Now that is funny.

I can see Riverdale holding up the 1st half, but getting worn down quickly in the 2nd half. 

I'll call the score...

Oakland 49

Riverdale 6

Nothing to be sorry about.  Oakland has worked hard for their rank and position.  I would never bad mouth that.

While R'dale is not yet back where I would like to see them, they are working on it.  That's all I will ever ask of them.

Now how are the dogs at Oakland this year?  They still as big and tasty as years gone by?
