Riverdale @ McCallie

[RWA]

Certainly some "luck" was involved, just as when McCallie fumbled a kickoff and gave Riverdale an opportuity for an easy touchdown. The coaching decision not to "take a knee" could also be questioned.

 

However, the coach did not fumble the ball or throw the interception. The coach also did not give up 180 passing yards in the last four minutes of the game. Riverdale had plenty of opportunity to overcome whatever mistakes were made, but failed to do so.

 

To put a little more perspective on the came, despite the dominance of Riverdale's running game, the game would have been tied before the "coaching error" occured if you take away the easy touchdown resulting from the fumble on the kickoff. Riverdale's offensive performance in the second half was more impressive for its time of possession than for the numbers put on the board.

 

Riverdale got beat in a game it should have won. It lost because of its inability to stop McCallie's offense when it mattered. Learn from the experience.

If you really are a player, isn't it about time you stopped saying

McCallie got lucky?

 

I've seen very few, if any high school quarterbacks

execute as well as the kid from McCallie did at the

end of the game.

 

oh really how about that

And this was your first post? There's a spell checker available. You'll have to work on the grammar thing somewhere else.

I still can't get enough of watching the final 3 minutes of that game! I'm from Knoxville, I hold no allegiance to either team, and that was one heck of a finish. We can second guess Riverdale's decisions to not take a knee (with 1:30 left) or play for overtime (after the tying score), but regardless, McCallie completed an impeccable comeback.

It's been a rough week in the 'boro because of this loss. Coach A was supposed to be proving hes worthy of Riverdale. So far he aint proving much.
