Riverdale - Blackman First Region Challenge What Are The Keys To a Win?

[warrior82dad]

This Riverdale team has to find their identity. They seem to want to force the run with a weak O line with no success but when they open it up they could probably have one of the best depth threat combinations in the state. More play action would be good. The new QB can pass with the best of them. Coaches need to give him a chance. The deep ball will open up the run. He was 2 of 3 on deep balls for TD's last week both over 60 yards. I hope this coaching staff is watching film.

Not sure on this one both teams have a lot of work to do! I think both teams better get their defensive backfield much improved! I think the team with the most passing yards without any TO's wins the game b/c both Olines are struggling!

Blackman had a stud senior running back. Putting up some solid numbers behind that suspect O-line though. Read that in the DNJ this morning. Could be the difference in this game. My prediction is Blackman by a score. Good luck to both teams. Hope it's injury free.

Can anyone confirm if Jerry Young #20 and the Canaan Owens are both out for this game? Does that now put things on the 2nd or 3rd string runnng back?

I thought Riverdale was down a running back that was injured in the jamboree

Yes Jerry was the running back that was supposed to be the starting back this year . He has a torn ACL and is out for the season a family friend said. Canaan Owens is not only the starting linebacker and Tight end, but he is also the punter, I understand. When it all falls on ones shoulders that stinks when you have to scramble to replace.

Jerry a senior?

Jerry a senior?

Nope I wish... He is only a sophomore. He played ball with my son at Rockvale... he has been running over people since the 7th grade.
