It was billed as the high school football Game of the Year in Middle Tennessee, and for three-and-a-half quarters, it was exactly that.
But in the fourth quarter, the No. 1-ranked Oakland Patriots pulled away, capping off a 42-21 win over the No. 2-ranked Blackman Blaze at the Inferno.
"We've got a way to go," Oakland coach Kevin Creasy said. "I thought we did a poor job of tackling tonight, but I think that's a credit to Master Teague; he's hard to tackle. The kid is a phenomenal runner, he has great cuts, great vision and he's going to get his.
