I will be coming up to the game. I love hs football so much it is hard to give it up after your team is out.

 

I have been to a lot of places over the years but never Oak Ridge. I have heard it is a great place to watch a game and so I thought I might as well check it out.

 

What is the seating capacity and what time should someone get there to actually get a seat ( cookeville all seats were gone by 6 pm)

 

Sooner or later Riverdale will get beat and I sure would hate to miss it!!

However I am not getting any younger.

 

A riverdale primer ( i can tell you what they are going to dos topping it is a different matter)

 

1. #33 is in at fb he is going to run the ball it is extremely rare for him to be in and not run it

 

2. Fb deeper in backfiled means he is running it even when flanked out then it will be a counter.

 

3. 2 back set Gaston in motion with one back left especially #33 it is a draw

 

4. One back with gaston in motion leaving no backs is a qb draw

 

5. The main tendacies is this 3rd and 8 to 15 yards it will be a draw to gaston and they convert on this enough to drive you crazy

 

6. Gaston on the toss sweeps does not want to get to the sideline he rarely takes that route he wants to cut it up field quick so if you play him to force him inside you are playing into his strength make him bounce it out and try to string it out.

 

rankin will throw in something new like th tb pass back to the qb last week and he will run it anywhere anytime

 

But the basic summary is this you will not beat Riverdale unless you stop #1 GASTON MILLER he is the real deal.

 

Once again this is what they live on and stoppoing it is very difficult.

 

Now rdale folks be honest I have seen rdale play a time 2 the last 4 years and this information is dead on.

 

some other things I noticed about riverdale

 

#2 - is the best lb on the field including Butler.

 

#39 - is better than locke and one of the most underestimated and under used players anywhere.

 

#33 - is a big physical looking player but the games and film I have seen of him do not match the hype on defense

 

riverdales offensive line shouild get some type of award the flat out come at you.

Riverdales lone weakness and they cover it well by the pressure they bring is against the pass. If you can throw and the big if if you can give your qb time you can hurt them in this are. can OR throw??

 

Well just a few thoughts

 

 

So 82, when are you going to take over the Smyrna job?!! :thumb:

I'm not even going to front, you are right on with your scouting report. I think 33 does match the hype on defense, he is playing hurt, but he is just always doing things that indirectly affects plays.

 

These coaches, players, and fans know each other so well, it's almost like playing against your own teammate. This one just boils down to Heart & Determination (I sound soooo cliche-ish!).

 

What does a Warrior say to a Kitty-Kat?

Sort of off topic, (not about the game) but I was looking at OR's school website. Looks like they are getting a new school building? When will that be complete and are they relocating the school?

 

Well, they're supposed to start construction some time this month (on the building part anyway; they've already mutilated the soccer field!) and no, it's not going to be relocated. They're going to tear down parts of the school and build there while school is still going on. It's pretty crazy. Pretty soon they'll tear down the biology/physics wing... our classes have been moved to nearby portals.

 

It'll take a few years to complete, so I won't be there to see the new one, but I'm pretty excited about it anyway. It's supposed to have a really awesome fine arts auditorium and solar power and wow, I don't even know what else. It'll be very cool.

Relax Riverdale, he has done it before and it didn't jinx us. If I remember correctly it was the WC game. :lol:

82cat: The seating capacity is officially at 8k, however it will, and has, held more. Most of the seats will be gone by 6:30, but a 6:00pm arrival should get you seats, probably good ones too. There really aren't any bad seats at the field.

 

Welcome to "The 'Ship" Come a little early and enjoy the tailgate food. You will find it at the top of the hill.

 

:lol:
