Riverdale / Blackman Back Yard Brawl

[RCKickOffFootball]

First region game of the year. Both teams coming in off a loss. Something has to give.

I think Blackman wins this game 30-24

Due to all of the changes that Riverdale had been through I am going with Blackman on this one by a couple of scores. Riverdale is a work in progress. This also has the potential to get ugly for Riverdale if Blackman gets rolling. But I think Riverdale steps it up to keep it close.

GO WARRIORS!! I am picking Blackman as well. The Warriors are a work in progress and I like some of the things i have been hearing! Keep working Warriors!!

Was McCallie just THAT good, or is Blackman down a little this year?

McCallie was good, but it looked like Blackman was still in scrimmage mode...I believe Blackman plays a better game than last week for sure...

I'm wondering the same thing.

Blackman is loaded for bear but did not play like it at all. I didn't see them finishing plays like they traditionally do. As I saidpreviously it looked like they were still in scrimmage mode. Not finishing blocks, tackles, routes ... you should see a good Blackman team (young)  this week... against a solid Riverdale team

Didn't Blackman beat Riverdale by about 40 points last year?  I think it will be closer this time but Riverdale's about as inconsistent as a team can be.  If the good Riverdale shows up and plays for 40 minutes it will be a competitive game.  If not, probably 3-4 touchdowns.

 

Really miss the days when Riverdale just did not lose at home.

A lot of that came from Pride and Tradition.  To see just how much that is NOT really honored is to look at the 'Chief' statue that every player had to touch before EVERY home game.  Some went as far as going out and touching it before loading on the bus for away games as well.

 

Right now it needs to be totally stripped of the faded and flaked off paint and repainted NOW!

 

Also more than ONE O-line needs to be practicing hard now.  We have not only later this year to play, we have a couple future years to prepare for also!
