I agree with you crc,I also think it will be very importent for Ridgeway to get ahead early.

 

Do we know if we are playing at Halle again?

Even though Woodale will (in all likelihood) put 8-9 defenders in the box, it's ESPECIALLY important that Ridgeway runs the ball anyway. That's the best strategy, IMO, to keep Woodale's explosive offense off the field and on the sideline.

 

Woodale has trouble defending the run. Consequently, RW should be able to fully utilize its potent running game to control the clock and keep Woodale's high powered offense off the field and, more importantly, off the scoreboard. Meanwhile, RW will manage to put up several scores of its own.

 

Defensively, I believe that RW will be able to put sufficient pressure on Woodale's QB Perry, and chase him out of his comfort zone -- the pocket. This will, inturn, help ease some pressure off RW's untested DBs, as Perry is nowhere near as accurate when forced out of the pocket. In fact, its been my observation that Perry makes his poorest decisions (i.e. inaccurate passes/interceptions) when he's on the run and/or being pressured.

 

RW will not be able to contain Woodale for an entire game, however. As a result, Woodale will still score more points vs RWs defense than did any other opponent! Unfortunately for Woodale, it still won't be enough.

Prediction: Ridgeway 17 -- Woodale 14

I agree with you Trader...Wooddale runs the ball well htis year, but they are very predictable when they do (based on formations and tendencies). I think Ridgeway will be able to throw the ball on Wooddale when they load up liek that...we could have against Germantown, but chose not too...again look for RHS to be much more diverse in its playcalling and to pull out this win.

I suggest you concentrate on the business at hand which is to beat Antioch. Hopefully our players aren't this immature to be looking three games down the road. Lose a game now and there will be no more this year. :thumb:

Not to tie up this board site, suggestion noted. I’m a fan, not a player, plus Antioch is not talking on the message board. Therefore my concentration failed, boredom overcame me, and my conversation drifted to conversation with message board friends. :lol:

When you get Riverdale and Ravenwood commenting on your message site, you know that you are getting the respect deserved. Get someone from the far east (tn) commenting and you've hit the big time.

 

By the way, (as Ohio State players say it) Who is "THE RHS". Right now I would have to say Ravenwood since they are the reigning State Champs.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
