Oakland strikes early, shuts out La Vergne 14-0

The nightcap of the Rutherford County Jamboree saw Oakland shut out La Vergne 14-0 last Friday night.

The Patriots took a 7-0 lead on their first possession when quarterback Brendon Matthews found receiver Shun Reed racing down the sideline for a 47-yard touchdown completion.

"I saw Reed take a great first step and he beat his dude off the line and he just went up and got the football," Matthews said.

Added Reed: "When I came off the ball I faded to my fade line and I let it fall in and just took my eyes to it, and it was a great catch and I just ran it in for a touchdown.
