that was funny region 2-AAAAA wanting to be like Riverdale. Riverdale has had a great past but this year is what matters right now and to all the Riverdale people you prance on to state like i said before cause you play a bunch of cupcakes.

schedule some of the teams like Oak Ridge Ooltewah Farrugut William Blount and McMinn and we will see how you rseason turns out.um just like the rest of us usually at least 2 losses. and for the rest about people saying that Farragut is bad they are not they have a very tough team.

 

with all due respect we do play you every year on the way to the state tournament and in 05 we suffered our first semi final loss and all of those semi final games comes against teams like you have mentioned and many teams yall may have had the better team in 03 and whoever we played in 02 those teams may have been better but we still won the game In 05 against OR they was the better team that night if they had played the following saturday like the did against us they would have beaten ravenwood by 30 points unfortunatly they thought they won state when they beat riverdale...

I am not sure who you think the cupcakes we play are but generally speaking LC and DC (non region games) are top teams in their region and make playoffs almost every year and this year we played antioch and i may be wrong but they have a good chance to win their region so i am not sure what you want us to do...should we travel 4hours to play one of those teams each year to make yall happy? that is a long day for a high school kid to play a regular season game dont you think?...i will admit we are just NOW getting to the meat of our schedule region wise and we may lose a game and i will admit there are some good teams up your way but please dont downgrade OUR team to try and justify your team this isnt NCAA we have a playoff and it will be stteled on the field

GO WARRIORS

So why don't your schools schedule Riverdale for YOUR out of region games? Gee, I think I know why.

 

Probably for the same reason they won't even schedule teams in their own county like McCallie and Baylor. /dry.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

 

They also do NOT go out of state to play tough teams to make themselves better. I keep hearing the arguement of the 'gates' are better at home, so I can only conclude they think money is more important than wins against quality opponents. Yes, R'dale lost against McCallie last year but they did have the guts to play them.

 

I have to hand it to Smyrna this year also for playing BA. Yes they lost but they did play them and gave them all they could handle for most of the game even after their QB went down to injury.

 

Keep taking shots at Region 4 because the 'cupcakes' there have a nasty habit of biting back.....especially during the playoffs! Don't believe it? Just look at how many times in the last 10 years Region 4 has sent Region 2 home!

 

The ONE team I truly respect from Region 2 is Oakridge, and I notice there are none of their followers on this thread saying how weak Region 4 is. They are WAY to classy for that and have a proven history of success that is respected here in Region 4. As for the arguement that they beat each other up so cannot win the gold ball don't hold water either as Region 4 beats each other up alot also and STILL wins! In the last 10 years 3 teams from Region 4 has won the gold ball against ZERO for Region 2, so come on down from y'alls hills and lets play some football!

Wow, I cant believe it's that time of year already....my daddy is bigger than your daddy, my daddy can whip your daddy..lol. East virus Middle..whos the best....Its all going to be settled on the field. Yes, Riverdale does has its weaknesses but they are for real and have a tremendous defense. I would bet that no eastern team has seen anything like the defense from the Warriors or an offensive line anywhere near the size of Riverdale. Riverdale's not flashy, they just do enough to win and thats all that matters. Every week they have stepped up to the challenge and should continue to do so the rest of the year.....

Not putting WB down as they are a fine team and are playing hard this year. We are just not too happy with folks saying Region 2 is better than Region 4 as the facts do not support it. Its like when the AP poll had DB as Number 1 in 2004 in the state when R'dale was clearly superior and played a harder schedule. They kept DB as number 1 until they choked in the playoffs......AGAIN! While Region 4 may not be the best in y'alls opinion, they are NOT cupcakes either.

 

Yes, teams here are capable of losing like any team can. Thing is we usually win when it counts at Gold Ball time.

Riverdlaae is a traditionaly great team, and thats no different this year. But, put them into region 2 this year. I can almost promise they would not be undefeated if they had to play WB, Farragut, OR, and McMinn. If these region 2 teams were distirbuted evenly across the state,into different regions, I feel confident they all could win those regions. There is some serious competiton in Region 2; Riverdale is the only team that could play with region 2 teams,in region 4 that is.

First off i respect your opinion but let me ask you...what are you basing this on? Have you seen any team from region 4 5A play? if so who did you see and then why they would not compete with region ? why is the competition in region 2 harder than ours? most of our schools are within 20 minutes so all the kids know each other and that always makes it a strong rivarly every week. I do not know your region and i havent seen any of them play this year BUT i do respect them and i am not knowledgable enough to say our region is better but i am smart enough to konw we have some great competition WHO KNOW yalls region may beat us in the semi final game this year

    • Jada Hart, Jasmine Bailey and Kaitlyn Patterson the first two being PG's are all good guards and can handle ball pressure and are good players. Raven Wells will be a good post. There were games this summer where any one of the one's I mentioned were in double figures. Gibson County will control TO's much better this year and they will press more and get back to playing faster. AA is down across the board. I have been all over watching ball. Alcoa jumped to AAA and Jackson County moved down. to A. No telling who wins it this year. I agree Union City, Westview and Gibson County will be a dogfight and must see basketball. Poster insuated that Gibson County has a mental block against Westview. Well give me Maddie Gray and we line up last year and they wouldn't have won a game. Let's see how Westview does this year. Their starting five last year had three transfers in it. Rogers from Obion, Trevathon from Greenfield and Gray from South Fulton. Looks like they swung and missed with the girl from Florida this year so let's see how they do playing with kids from Westview. Gibson County has a really good 7th grade class this year.I have done learned you play with what you got and work them hard and develop them and see what happens. Just keep battling and see what happens. I like our team this year. Very athletic. Every year is the same with injuries and can be catistrophic to any. I watched GC all summer long. South Side and GC was very evenly matched and was a classic war. Hope all stays healthy. 
    • I think Gibson County is a top five team this next season but I do agree they will drop off a lot after this year.  Westview lost a ton and will be down this season and hopes of returning to glass house again is slim.  The run they have had is super impressive!
    • My take on GC for this year: Based on what I saw last year and heard this summer, I’m not sure GC could surprise me next year with any outcome. Wilkins is a great coach - they could win the district and region and go to Murfreesboro. They could also come in third in the district and not get out of region. The two returning starters are very talented but Guru is right that they didn’t always play hard last year. The other three starters are good enough in their roles for GC to be successful. There is no depth. Foul trouble could be a problem - Wilkins may avoid it by playing a lot of zone. An injury would be catastrophic. I hope they have a big year and Wilkins rides off into the sunset in Murfreesboro because, without some significant transfers, there are some tough years coming in the next few.
    • Daniel Boone coming down to 3A makes this much tougher. They added a couple transfers to the Flores girl. Cocke Co, Northview, Greeneville, and Daniel Boone - only two headed to Murfreesboro.
