Sidetrain Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Oakland has been know as a great program for a long time. Do they have what it takes to beat the teams for the state this year? They have some great sophmore that will play a major role this year.

Game Time Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 I expect Oakland to be a force this year. 825573018[/snapback] I agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidTennFootball Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 no doubt Oakland will be a good team. what will seperate them from a good team to a state title contender is if they can get get some depth at pitching. with the way the state tournament is set up, a deep pitching staff is the key if your going to advance deep into the tournament Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidTennFootball Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 While I agree that Oakland will be a force, will they be a bigger force than Riverdale? 825574346[/snapback] at this point, its all hearsay but if your looking at who both teams return, you have to say that Oakland is in a better position at this point than riverdale is. Riverdale lost what many people considered the heart and soul of their team in Catcher Alex Watson and 3rd Baseman Clint Alexander, both of whom gave Riverdale a big power threat. However, Riverdale is now an established power and just reloads rather than rebuilds. Will Underland will be a very bright spot for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Listenup Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 While I agree that Oakland will be a force, will they be a bigger force than Riverdale? 825574346[/snapback] Its a tough call at this point. It will be interest if Oakland will have enough pitching to get them through the year and the tournament. I think they will have to just score more runs than the other team to win. But who knows i might be wrong. Farmer will have to stop up for Oakland for them to have a big year. Choate and Underland will be a good duo for Riverdale. And with Underland, Hunter, Jones, and Gill in the line up they will be able to score some runs themselves. So right now im going to give the edge to Riverdale.

bigred24 Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 (edited) these guys have plenty of talent for several years to come. the sophmore class is loaded: drew fann, pj polk, tyler burnet, brennan stender, marcus barnes, eric renfroe, andy berg to name a few this team will challenge for the state! These guys have played together for a long time and play well Edited February 23, 2005 by bigred24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
