I understand your post because you are a ravenwood fan. Let me counterpoint your points for a sec:
1. Riverdale beat us by 46 more points than Ravenwood did. Riverdale is sittin in the bleachers or at home right now.
2. Last year was the 2005 Raptors. This is the 2006 Raptors.
3. Ooltewah had lots of speed. Who won that other semifinal game?
4. Did you see how many people from all over Rutherford county supported Smyrna on Friday night!? About 9000 out of 10,000+ fans.
5. Coach Shadowens is pretty smart if he can stop the almighty Riverdale wing t in only his second game seeing it and beat an undefeated Ooltewah team that was a complete unknown to us until we got the game film and were able to hold Marshall to 39 yards rushing.
6. Red, black, and white isn't very orginal. Chicago Bulls, ATL Falcons, Louisville, Rutgers, St. John's, St. Joseph's, Oak Ridge, Northern Illinois, Troy State, South Carolina, FSU, etc.....
7. I guess beating Riverdale whom we have never beat before and did it after losing to them 49-0 a month earlier (I could go into greater detail but don't wanna waste time) OOOOR beating the only remaining undefeated team in 5A pretty much neutralizes the momentum between SHS and RHS.
