Oakland will host Maryville in one of two Class 6A football semifinal games Friday night. WGNS will have coverage of the game.

These two teams are no stranger to playing in this game. In fact, Oakland coach Kevin Creasy talks about this being the seventh time in a row they've played in the semifinals - all against the Rebels:

Coach Creasy says there's nothing like practicing on Thanksgiving Day to prepare for a football game. That means you've had a tremendous season:

The home team has won the last four meetings in these semifinal matchups and the winner has won the last three state championships.

Pregame coverage on WGNS begins at 6pm with Tri-Star Friday Night Live Pregame with J.P. Plant. Then, at 6:30pm, it's the Primetime Sports Countdown to Kickoff, sponsored by the Law Offices of John Day. Kickoff at 7pm on State Farm Prep Football.
