Oakland has become very susceptible on defense, and Blackman appears to corrected some major problems they were having on offense.  If i can remember correctly, it has been since 2014 during the regular season since Blackman has beaten Oakland. I think this will end on 11/22/19.  There are a lot of ifs, but Blackman is a more physically talented team hands down.  Now, we that said, Creasy’s is far superior head coach.  I just see Blackman controlling the game, and Oakland having to play catch up.  All in all Blackman by 14 points.  This would be the second time in school history that Blackman made the semi-finals.

I think you bring up some good points.  Have not seen oakland since the riverdale tv game, but I read the paper about their games and people have moved the ball on them, more than we did the last time for sure.  But we are different since that game.  Coach hartsfield made some smart moves since that game and we have improved.  BIg thing I like is after the game last night on the field, all the kids and coaches could talk about was how excited they were for this match up.  They have wanted this opportunity and have worked hard at getting this second chance.  They will be ready!  I am confident of it...

Oakland has seemingly lost focus or lost fire... I know that Coach Creasey will not come into this game playing light or with the same game plan they have used prior. They will have plenty in the tank and will be fired up to smack  Blackman in the mouth. Blackman played decent against Hendersonville, but were still getting chewed up on  defense against a wing T . That should not be happening this late in the season. I believe Blackman has the ability to compete and possibility beat Oakland, it will all depend which teams show up...

That quote is copyrighted. Unless you have the Stats garbage service including the special 40 yard 4.5 seconds or less electronically timed Christmas Day service special you will need to send Stars a check to use it.

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
