This team isn't as dominant as the last 2-3, still finding their way in some areas and they'll probably have to play a Riverdale team twice that has a very good offense and a solid defense. Add to the

I would agree with your assessment. 

Oakland is just solid and goes to 17 a lot when they need a play. He is capable. 
 

First half Riverdale shot themselves over and over in the foot. WR 4 dropped passes in his hands. Was backs against the wall and Oakland was taking it. 
 

Oakland first half was executing way better. But overall Riverdale was more solid. They gave up a big play and then didn’t execute first half. It’s a 48 minute game. 
second half was another story. 
 

Turn that around and WR 4 found his hands and they executed second half. 
Riverdale did the same on D 

made the plays on 0. Limited the Oakland RB 17 as much as they could. 
 

The two point play was 95% luck 5% play call. It was just deserving. 
Oakland still had a drive and time late I thought Riverdale gave them too much time. 
 

can’t wait for this rematch in three weeks

what a game. This game and environment is what make high school football so awesome  Before kick off both side players fans students was jumping with excitement.  It was a packed house and it was great.  The big difference is in the second half we kept the Refs out of the game.  We had 3 false starts 2 in a row in the second half and that was it .  we stopped killing ourselves with penalties and dropped balls,  that was the biggest difference in the halves.

Not sure the refs had any impact on your kids jumping offsides.

Other than the state titles and playoff wins they've earned...maybe the best regular season win.

I don't remember any of the state title games being this exciting. A few of the playoff games were close, maybe Smyrna one year, but they lost. This one being down by 17 and coming back will be hard to match in Riverdale lore.

Congratulations to Riverdale on a great win last night.   They came out in the second half and executed much better than Oakland. Riverdale qb was very efficient getting the ball to his play makers.  He has a good arm, quick release and makes good decisions.   

Hopefully we'll see more of Freeman at qb for Oakland next game as he is clearly a more talented qb than Creasy.   No passing attack with Creasy whatsoever.   Freeman has more accuracy, MUCH better in and out of the pocket and the ability to scramble and tuck the ball when needed to get yards necessary.   Freeman when scrambling is looking to make a play.   Creasy when scrambling is looking for a soft spot to land and not get hit.  It's obvious.   Hope this isn't the hill Coach Creasy dies on this season but afraid it may  be.   

Riverdale wanted it more and took what they felt was theirs.  They deserved it last night.

Very intriguing matchup for a number of reasons. Several streaks on the line for Oakland.. never lost at home under Creasy, never lost a region game under Creasy, Oakland has beaten Riverdale 12 times in a row, etc. This is the best team Riverdale has had since Creasy has been at Oakland. This is also likely to be the 1st of 2 matchups between these two this year which makes it even more interesting. 

Every dynasty eventually crashes… maryvilles got crashed… oaklands will eventually… and alcoas will eventually.. be be another 100 years for alcoa in little 3A lol but Bradley central is a problem for any team in the state right now. Anything can happen but they’re offense is #1 in state. Their defense is #1 in state. Bradley moved the ball average of 3 yard gain on every carry in the first half against bearden who stopped west and alcoa from scoring much.. and Bradley held maryville for 12 strait plays at 1st and goal.. there were penalties and what not that led to that. But nonetheless… Bradley held them for 12 strait plays.. at this point nearly their entire offense is a D1 player. Not just D1 players.. boo carter is a monster.. high school highlights comparable to Reggie Busch’s

No one is invincible, including Bradley this year. 6A is wide open, and it shouldn’t take an Oakland loss last night for a lot of folks to realize that. Those who have paid attention know that has been the case all year

Until last night it was Oakland’s to lose. It’s been wide open, but it took an Oakland loss for me to say it’s anyone’s to win.

You spelled Reggie's name wrong, and he is upset. Said he is not part of that family.

      OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.

      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.
