The way coach Watson and shad being ran off why would anybody wanna coach at Blackman now? I mean yeah we all know it's the best area of the mid state for high school football with some of the best athletes in the state but from an outsider looking in it's looking like a principal that may be hard to work for and get along with

Are you still beating your chest? Where'd ya go mjnogoldenballthisyear....are you somewhere else telling everybody how good the silver bears are? Talkin about That perfect 10-0 season? Talkin about how the silver bears hadn't allowed a touchdown in six games or that mt Juliet is better than maryville Oakland or a young whitehaven team? Where are you mjnogoldenballthisyear ive never heard such arrogance from a school that's not done anything as I did from mt Juliet. Take that weak schedule of cupcakes and eat it while watching the big boys you said were no good and watch them play over the thanksgiving holidays

dang, Blackman sure is worried about this next game with Oakland not playing kids this week and turning down the TV game worried about gate money "per Chad withrow of 104.5." It would have been a great opportunity for Blackman their kids "who most will not get an opportunity to ever play on tv" and Rutherford county to showcase themselves to people who don't live in Rutherford cty why they call this the SEC of high school football. I don't really think the game being on tv changes your gate for people and kids around here that wanna go to the game

Small world, I played on the 95 Smyrna team who was coached by wb's coach shad that beat Maryville in the p/o's that year and lost to Cleveland in the semi's. Both teams were tough but I'd give the edge to Cleveland late in the season, and I believe they had won state the two previous years if I remember right? So I'd give Cleveland the edge but Anyways we were a pass away from making it to state and beating the champs Cleveland, anyways Cleveland went on and destroyed who ever they played in the championship game and I was to devestated to watch or even cared who they'd played so I can't remember but anyways thanks for the memories even if they still sting to this day

the website went to crap after wyant left, i had always thought riverdale had the best high school website i had ever seen at the time in the early 2000's, the tomahawk chop played, had stats from all games and recent news, links to national ranks, mr football winners, records against each team "updated records, not just til 2006" just about anything you cld think of, and everything on the old website was clean and neat and it was updated weekly not once every now and then with a copy and paste from the dnj

i have a question about the alumni game, why was there a former siegel football player playing for oakland? whats up with that......i guess recruiting never stops, even after playing days

he went ahead and ran them off early, i believe he likes to count on one hand his senior class, you know i dont care if hes fired or not i will NEVER go to another football game at riverdale just from my own experience ive had with coach, some things in life just cant be taken back in life, if i have an itch go to a football game on a friday night i can choose between six or seven other schools in rutherford county to go too

Last year The silver and gold trophies were in the trophy case when you walked in the main entrance but When I was in the school at the beginning of the school year I believe the silver ones have been replaced by the girls basketball championship trophies

truth!! the line would be deeper, i know a few kids that played on the line and got tired of being belittled and now just roam the halls of riverdale, i think there is one left of the o and d lines that started at christiana in 11 and the freshmen team the next year, idk what goes through peoples heads that doing that kinda stuff makes a team better, and your rite it starts from the top, i remember when shad got to blackman and within a year or two it seemed like every young man at that school was on the football team, i just dont know how year after year this stuff gets said on here but nothing ever changes

Congrats w/b y'all have gotten a heck of a coach, I played for coach shad at smyrna in the mid 90s and after graduating I went back and attended games and he made me do something I didn't think I'd do, i started going to games at blackman "I won't be doing that anymore btw" the way his teams play are like him, blue collar tough football with a family like atmosphere. there were plenty of yrs where when at smyrna we didn't have D1 players but he took the players we had and made them good high school football players, he adjusts to the players he had weather it was jauan jennings "at blackman" or at smyrna the gun slinger sonny gray playing qb, coach played the offense that put his team in a position to win. You might say oh well yeah anybody wld do that but there's a guy at UT who for half a season ran an offense with a qb that didn't fit that offense, anyways congrats w/b on the hire and i will be looking for scores from yall on friday nights and rooting for you guys, but on the other hand after 20 plus yrs of seeing coach on the side lines in rutherford county I'm gonna miss seeing a coach shad team in rutherford county

dang, no hendersonville!! the past 5 yrs or so that has been one of the most enjoyable games on the schedule

kelly holcomb lincoln county also qb of 1990 state championship sonny gray smyrna also qb of 2006 2007 state championships dave thomas Riverdale also qb of 2004 state championship

i agree that the county has gotten bigger and the competition has gotten better which has made 7aaa the SEC of high school football but i also know for a fact what LOD is talkin about "ive seen it with my own eyes" kids getting ran off the team for what i saw during spring practice was having practice in another sport that interfered with football practice, as a coach wouldn't you want athlete's who play other sports year round and who wanna play for your team and represent your school? just talk to the young men at Riverdale and you will know why they don't wanna play football at Riverdale anymore each year we are getting closer and closer to coach HateAlot's dream to just play 7 on 7 teams of say like a holloway and making it the new battle of the boro

actually i will see all the 7aaa games week 0 but blackman hoover is the must see game of the year for me

one game i have marked on the calender to see is week 10 blackman and hoover
