What a disappointing game...I am not really surprised that we lost When 2 good teams play it is hard to beat them twice. Our Qb probably played his worse game as a WARRIOR and our defense played by far their worse game of the year. Oakland was blowing up both lines their RB was getting at least 5 yards before getting touched. If we was a bad team then you can say ok..this is a good team and a really good defense I am not sure what happened during preparation for the game this week but the results was horrible. oakland could have scored 100 if they wanted too. LOVE MY WARRIORS on to basketball

his son lives out of state and was there a few weeks ago i havent seen LOD in a long time

let me be clearer...we stopped committing penalties and cleaned that part up and stopped hurting oursleves by getting penalties.. although i didnt see anything our players did when it was 8 against 1 for us to also get an unsportsman like penalty when our guys helmet came off saw a replay on TV didnt see any of our players do anything there but that doesnt mean we didnt do anything

what a game. This game and environment is what make high school football so awesome Before kick off both side players fans students was jumping with excitement. It was a packed house and it was great. The big difference is in the second half we kept the Refs out of the game. We had 3 false starts 2 in a row in the second half and that was it . we stopped killing ourselves with penalties and dropped balls, that was the biggest difference in the halves.

Been a while since I have been on here. I was extremely mad at halftime. We didn't look prepared or that we even wanted to play tonight. I was extremely happy in the second half. The team didn't quit they fixed a bunch of stuff! Got themselves in a position to win unfortunately a bobbled snap on the extra point and then on the second OT we didn't make the play. My RIVERDALE glasses thought there was clearly pass interference in the end zone but that is me being a homer. Would love to see the replay though. GO WARRIORS

great young man!!!

why?

in basketball when the mercy rule starts it never stops, So if they start the running clock at 35 points and the other team scores a buckett and the lead drops to 33 the clock still runs...is it different in football?

Our Facility is coming along and hopefully will be done soon. We have a lot of young talent as our past 2 freshman classes did very well. so our Jr and SO class has a lot of talent and I do feel the coaching staff is making them better. LOD is right this will take awhile to get back. Many may not realize but Riverdale is the ONLY school in the county without a Middle school and I think an Elementary school. Our kids are coming to Riverdale not knowing anyone . That is ok though they try to keep us down and like always we are WARRIORS AND FIGHT OUR WAY BACK! That is how it is in life though isn't it . The road in life is never easy how you handle it is what matters most!!! GO WARRIORS!!!!

As a RIVERDALE fan when it comes to girls basketball I will admit I am very spoiled. I do understand that what our girls have been doing hasn't been easy as they have a huge target on their back. I don't know much about Ravenwood as I have not seen them play but we are in the state tournament and everyone is good! As far as best players I don't know about other schools and other players everywhere but I have been around RIVERDALE for a long time and I would put Alexander in our top 5. She can do it all she can handle the ball she can shoot from outside and she can post up. I am glad she is on our team. Having said that personal accolades are nice but state championships are sweeter! What happened to Memphis Central? They returned a lot of players from last year

the refs in our game let them play I liked the way they called it. I think both teams wish a fouled had been called here and there but they were consistent. Each team was able to get in the flow of a game and each team was able to play ball so I like them letting them play and yet keeping game in control as they did in our game

It is much better to watch this team. The defense is good I know Dre is hurt but we have a lot of hats flying to the ball!!! I really like the direction of our program!! Spring Hill was good their back was very good I learned after the game he is a Georgia Tech commit he was legit I know we have a challenge ahead of us against Oakland and it seems like we have major injuries each week. However I know our staff will have the team prepared for the game. I have been real pleased with both Davis and Taylor Davis has been running hard and the QB has really been thrown in the fire and has responded well LOD I am so sorry that all of your health issues continue. you are in my prayers . getting old does suck I had knee surgery in October and Dr Johns told me I had to find another job which was a blessing in disguise as I really like what I am doing much better than Frito Lay but I had to do it because I was too old to get in and out of the truck with this knee Hope to see you at a game this season

I heard he may be out for the year I don't have confirmation yet. have you gotten to go yet? we are looking better

Have you been able to make a game? I missed this week. QB I have heard is out for the year. defense has looked really good. going to take some time but we are on the right track

I'm pretty sure your guys will take that state championship any over some individual awards that done mean anything In the big picture Individual awards are other peoples opinion state championship is EARNED

TSSAA overall does a great job . Remember TSSAA doesn't set the rules they just enforce them. As with everything in a huge group like this one there are going to be things you don't agree with but overall they are very consistent. I love high school sports and I have followed a lot throughout my years and I can honestly say I can not name 1 time where I didn't see their side or agree with the decision. Even ones that wet against my school or our student athletes

That is part of the problem there is no zoning for a private school.

I have faith that coach K and his staff is going to get the program back. it will take more than 1 year to do it though. I do believe by the end of year 3 that you will see that he has it on the right track. Last year I saw signs of improvement such as defense looked more prepared We didn't seem surprised by what the other teams did. Special teams was better overall (need a kicker) offense was improved and the team never quit even when they were down they would fight back. There is still some cleaning up issues with the program but it will start to filter and clear out. I like the direction but we all have to keep our eye on the bigger picture and that is building a program back and not just winning today

different with a move from private school to public school. I'm sure the administration will have all of their T's crossed and Is dotted. From public to public it is more cut and dry but from private to public there are more stipulations

I personally have not heard this but all of the girls have already been offered scholarships so if they wanted to move there then I'm sure they will. I do not know what the parents do for a living or what kind of career they have. On the other side of this is with our location we are close to many SEC schools driving distance to all if the move to Knoxville some of those road trips are a lot longer. Also they have Annie grown let her grow stay here and get the other 4kids grown. I am sure as a family they will sit down together and do what is best for them. Riverdale Lady Warriors will still have a lot of talent

wanna share these rumors ? Or are you going to be coy? If the 2players wanna leave it's ok I'm sure 2other players would be willing to step up and take their place

It was a fun year watching these ladies. Only in one game did I hear any opponent not appreciate our girls It was more funny than insulting. Lawrence County fans chanted overrated when down by 30. What a great season with some special players to watch. I am very blessed as a Riverdale fan to see the players we have had come through the past 10years now.

Riverdale 94 and 04 teams were probably our best teams with the 01team not far behind When I was in jr high school I lived in Gallatin. I don't remember the year but Germantown came to and we were undefeated at the time Germantown absolutely destroyed us and the looked like a college team. This was early 80s. I wanna sat 82 or83. I think n 84 Overton put us out

I understand putting a pitch count in place the problem isn't with TSSAA coaches the problem is with the travel ball. You have kids playing every weekend in the summer. You want to help these kids it starts with parents at home and not allowing their kids to pitch curve balls starting at 9 years old.

while we are having a good year way too soon to be hoisting the gold ball. They don't give out rings for wins in January
