Siegel showed more speed against Baylor than Riverdale did. Baylor is not an exceptionally fast team, they make up for it with passing, foot skills, and strong shots from outside the 18. You??™re right, when Siegel played Blackman, Blackman played not to loose during the first half by packing the box (5-4-1), which gave them little chance to score. When the shifted to the 3-4-3 in the second half, Siegel beat them with better passing and speed. Riverdale will have a much tougher time with Franklin. Franklin plays VERY physical, so Riverdale will need to be at full strength and match their physical play, to stay in the game. I would predict Franklin ??“ 3, Riverdale??¦.maybe 1, depending on their injury situation.

Another common opponent, Hendersonville. Siegel beat Hendersonville early in the season 1-0.

Keeperfan, Their other common opponent is Baylor. In the Siegel / Baylor game, Siegel scored the first goal. The score going into the last 20 min of the game was 2-2, I believe. Baylor scored 2 goals, after the Siegel keeper went down with a knee injury. Baylor 4, Siegel 2. In the Riverdale /Baylor game, Riverdale dodged a couple of bullets in the first half that should have had Baylor up 2-0 going into the half. Riverdale was never a serious threat to Baylor??™s defense. Baylor scored in the second half. Baylor controlled the majority of the game. Baylor 1, Riverdale 0. I agree, the Riverdale / Siegel game should be one to watch. Let??™s see how Riverdale handles (or doesn??™t handle) Franklin and Hendersonvile first.

Riverdale 12, LaVergne 0 Come on Riverdale, give me a break. Good sportsmanship ?...geeez

This game will definitely test Riverdale??™s midfield and defense, since apparently it has only been tested once (against Soddy Daisy) this season. Riverdale will have to be at their best to stay in this one, and their keepers should see plenty of action. A true test for Riverdale. I predict Baylor will flex their muscle in this one. Good Luck Riverdale. Baylor ??“ 4 Riverdale - 1
