Reality is Oakland has never won at Maryville. You make them sound like they are the '72 Dolphins

Quit playing the safe approach, you have little confidence which isn’t a good look.

Keep that mindset.

Through 3 Quarters, much better play from Oakland in the previous weeks. 4th Quarter was ugly, on both sides, gotta get the fumbles and dumb penalties under control. On to Maryville.....

We’re both beating a team that was beaten by Alcoa to get to the semifinals. Discuss.

Alcoa 23 Blackman 14 - Maryville 17 Alcoa 3 - Oakland 31 Blackman 14

So, using the math system developed by the Harvard school via Andrew Jackson Hwy that puts Maryville winning next week by 6 points. Thankfully I graduated from Maryville and know each game has a different outcome all it's own and not determined by last year's score(s) or any games this season.

It's not playing it safe, it's acknowledging facts. Maryville also a great running game which presents potential problems for Oakland

Love my alma mater, but nothing is ever certain when you play Maryville. It's been 20 years since they have lost a playoff game at home

Longer than that I believe, if it's not Knox Central in '99 then it was Smyrna in '95.

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.

Good game.    Good luck to Blackman next year.   On to the next one.    Go Patriots!!

Regardless, it's been a long time. Wasn't aware Smyrna has won at Maryville

You forgot Oakland 40, Blackman 0 in your equation.

Daniels, Russell, and Powell were the Smyrna stars that year who led them to play Cleveland in the 4A semis . We played Smyrna 2x that year and split 1-1. If not for a rash of key injuries on Maryville's side the '95 team could have been the ones to start the title game resurgence instead of the '97 team.

I know I did. I wasn't sure what that score was but my point wasn't meant to be logical.
