Rumor coming out of Murfreesboro is that the next head football coach is going to be none other than Gary Rankin. Now everything is not hammered out, but from a few sources it is not far from being done.

He may not be the greatest ever but of all the people I have seen on here nobody has said anything about Fernando Bryant. He played at Riverdale where he was all-american, all-state, so on and so forth. Then went to Alabama and played from 95-98 and all-sec 96,97, and 98. Drafted first round of NFL draft by the Jacksonville Jaguars and Currently plays for the Detroit Lions.

I know I wasn't there but I had a few friends I don't know what creeped in to the head coaches head on that pass play but it lost them that game. I think that he thought he may have been catching them off guard but they weren't.

What is the record for most rushing yards in a single season by a team? I ask this because of the way Riverdale has been running the ball this season. I think they have been held under 300 yards rushing once and have rushed for over 450 yards on 3 seperate occasions.

Well if it was their weakness they shouldn't have been on here runnin their mouths about how good it was.

My most memorable game, other than the 2001 state game, was when Riverdale played Blackman in the second round down 16-6 at half time trying to figure out what went wrong in the first half we came out with a fire and came back and won the game 27-16. Never will forget that one

I would say Riverdales is gonna be pretty good returning all the starters from last years D-line. And I hope Ooltewahs d-line its better than the one in 2001 that said they were one of the best ever because we went down to Ooltewah and just flat out embarassed that d-line. I am speaking of the Riverdale-Ooltewah semi-final game that ended 35-7 and King ran for about say 220 yards and like 2 or 3 touchdowns.

I know he got injured but I can't believe anyone has mentioned Gerald Riggs. His stock has dropped since the start of last season but for anyone that does decide to pick him it will probably a steal.

I ain't never been the sharpest tool in the shed but I hope you were kidding when you said all that stuff because I don't see that many folks leaving.

I don't know who this fella thinks he is comin in here and tryin to start something when he has no argument, I want you to look at Marshall county and check out how many state titles they won, and then go to Riverdales web-site and check that out. www.riverdalewarriors.com

Just curious how many starters and impact players does Riverdale actually lose from this years team, and who is going to replace them?

Riverdale will not be as powerful as everyone thinks. They lose their starting tailback, fullback, wide recievers, DBs, and linebackers. They do get some back but unless they have some major talent wating in the wings their 15 year run of top dog may be in Jeapordy.

Today out of no where UT-martin's head coach Matt Griffin resigned and accepted the job at Murray State. After guiding the Skyhawks to their first winning season since 93 and took the job at a program that just finished last in the conference, and not only did he leave he took the entire coaching staff with him. He preached all year on character and what not and then he leaves for no significant reason to take the rivals job. He may have been offered more money I don't know but its pretty shady to leave and not tell anyone the AD didn't even know until this morning. So if anyone is thinking about playing for Murray St. think twice because you could just get left one year for no reason. I guess character has a price.

I have seen Gaston play this year a couple times: 1 he ain't as fast as everyone thinks he is, he only runs like a 4.6 maybe mid 4.5 2 he is too small, warrick dunn is bigger and a lot faster than him 3 not a knock on vandy but they do not have the best o-line year in and year But hey if he wants to go out and do what he does than go do it prove everyone wrong.

23. Tamar Butler, watch out for this kid he will be a good one 24. Kit Hartsfield, most underrated player I have seen in recent years

I am curious about this I was at the game friday night and I have never seen a team try to strip the ball on so many tackles. I think this is a great game plan, if it is a plan, but what I was curious about is if ya'll practice at making teams turn the ball over?

Man is all you people do stay on here all day? As a neautral fan, actually I don't care for either team all that much. I have say SC wins! BOOK IT BOY!!!! I went to a private school for 2 years and I got out. I would never put my kids through that. People are snobby, rude and don't care about anyone except their selves! I hope SC DRILLS Boyd this week. Like I said before I'm neutral and don't really care for either team, but SC will win, SC 28 BB 14!

Riverdale has clinched 4-5A.

Fernando Bryant former high school all-american at Riverdale, started at Alabama for a few years got taken like 26 or 27 overall in 99 NFL draft. Very efficient cornerback for the Jaguars and now plays for the Lions.

Riverdale High school Freshman 1998 #57 Varsity 99-01 #76 Started 17 games, 2 as a junior and 15 as seinor in 2001 at center. Best team was 2001, 5A state champs

This is the last thing I am gonna say, I hope ya'll are for real because I have seen a lot of people get on here and talk up their team like the are unbeatable and they are gonna just run through Riverdale. And everytime Riverdale has shown up and won. I am looking forward to this game.

Well since I was there they have added a few kinks into the offense, with the shotgun and a few other formations. But when I was there we ran mainly one back and I-formation. And I'm sorry if my info. was wrong but I was goin off posts I had read in the pages before hand. But I will stand by on thing even IF Riverdale loses it will not be 35-7.

Ok I just jumped on this board and I read back a couple pages where it said the misdirection offense(Wing-t) gives Riverdale trouble, well let me take you back to the 2001 state title game where Hendersonville ran the Wing-t and they had but 1 first down in the game and 75 yards of offense. I was at RHS for 4 years and of all the teams that ran that stuff we pounded. and the bold prediction that Riverdale will get beat 35-7 is crazy, the last time riverdale got beat that bad was in the 2000 state title game and well a running back by the name Gerald Riggs was the RB in that game, and you know where he is right now. Ya'll better bring it cause I know Riverdale will. I'll be at the game RHS c/o 2002

I would have to say Riverdale has a great web site. www.riverdalewarriors.com

I was watching the news tonight, and I saw that they posted the West Tennesse players that were on the all state teams. I was wondering where I could find a complete list of all classes and overall.
