I dont think schedules mean a whole lot in the scope of playoff time. If you have made it to the semi finals both teams have played some really good teams. Ranking doesn't really mean squat now. If you were a top 10 team the tools were there for a run at the championship. Anything can happen on any given night. Example: OR turns over the ball 4 times first half DB turns it over 4 times in the second half. ANYTHING can happen. IF OR and DB had played a week later something else would have happened.

 

Personally I think it is the strength of the Scout team in practice 4 days a week that means a lot more than the schedule strength. Thats just my opnion. I may not be right, I may not be wrong. I am probably wrong more than right but every now and then I hit the nail on the head.

So Wildcat, did you play Brentwood Academy, MBA, or even BGA? How about Gallatin, Franklin, Brentwood, Hendersonville, Lincoln County, Dickson County? No I didn't think so.................but the teams in Region 4 did.............and most of those games were NON-REGION!! Riverdale played Lincoln County and Dickson County as NON REGION games. They can't help it if they have trouble getting other teams to schedule them, can they?? CPA is a brave team. They schedule the best competition that they can whether it is regular season games or scrimmages. You are close to Maryville...............did you play them???

Of course it does. It means that all our "bajillion" kids are spread out within 4 different schools in the Boro. It means that the talentpool is spread out. If we were like OR and got to have one big school w/o anyone separated...........well no one else would ever have a chance to win the gold ball. Can you imagine the results if one school had all those athletes???? WOW!! Well, we would be like Lincoln County....all the talent concentrated in one place and all the feeder schools running the high school's offensive and defensive schemes. Light years ahead of the game. As it is now, Central Middle feeds both Oakland and Riverdale High School. So they don't learn the high school schemes til their freshman year, which puts the players behind towns that only have one school like OR or Lincoln County. That is why Oakland only had 31 players this year, and Siegel had 40, and Blackman had 45.....cause Siegel opened up and toolk athletes and students away from both schools. That is why Riverdale still had 90 players...cause they didn't feed Siegel High. And it doesn't hurt to have gone to the Blue Cross Bowl consistently thru thru the years either. Kids line up to be a part of that. So yes, it does hurt to have 4 5A high schools in one town and 6 5A schools in the county. We also have one 1A in the county, Eagleville High. So the pool is further dried up.

    • RR, you might remember. Didn’t someone hide the kicking shoe that game? It seems I remember we had missed a kick the week before, and we needed all the points we could get. We thought we had a better chance going for two, so $?&@$ hid the shoe after the first miss that game. No one on our sideline looked for it very hard.
    • I will never forget the 1983 Heritage vs Maryville game. I remember driving home and listening to WGAP. Can't remember the announcers name. He asked Coach Story why he kept going for 2? Story told him " Why didn't you ask Renfro that last year"
    • TSSAA will let them all go to Mase.
    • Well nothing new, the Mustangs are really talented again this coming season!  They very well could go undefeated in regular season.  We shall see what happens in postseason.  I think the path to state title game is a little clearer than years past.  I think the Stangs are going to be really good and I think the traditional teams around in 2A are not going to be as strong.  It should be a fun season!
