Riverdale at Hardin Valley

[Digger20]

This should be a good match up. Both teams are coming off of big first round wins. Both teams have some good athletes. Who will come out ahead?

If Riverdale plays the type of game they played Friday night they should be able to pull this one out. The biggest issue for them is can they overcome the ups and downs they seem to have from week to week. The mistakes and penalties have hurt them but if they can get the offense going again like on Friday they could come out on top. The defense is getting better each week. The negative is Riverdale doesn't seem to play well on the road..

Riverdale is Jekyll and Hyde this year. Just when I think I've got them figured out, they do the unexpected.

I'm gonna say HVA pulls this one out. They're on a mission this year.

HVA is favored, have the higher seed,  and get to play at home.  Home is a nice place to be in the playoffs.  Hopefully having to ride past Cookeville on the way over will wake them up and get them ready to play.

 

Everyone has this as a bout a 3-7 point game so just takes one extra play to pull it out.

 

What dos HVA do best...run, pass???

[StarRaider]

HVA's defense is stout.

[TDCman]

Seems both teams have been inconsistent this year with Riverdale being really hard to predict.  Both teams have been tested and have played 5 teams each that are still alive in round 2.

 

Riverdale's record against those five is 1-4 and HVA has posted a 3-2 record against their five. 

 

Both team's have losses that would be considered head scratchers.

 

Even with a terrible game at Maryville HVA is giving up only an average of 13.5 a game with two shutouts.  Riverdale's defense, which was expected to be a team strength, has given up almost 20 points per game.

 

Definitely looks like the edge to HVA in this one,

I don't think HVA fans get on here too much.

Riverdale better come to play. As STARS said HVA is much better at home. A few weeks ago Maryville beat HVA pretty good but that game was at Maryville. The last 2 years at HVA have been dogfights for the Rebels.

[GREYRIDERx]

No not really

[REBELRON]

1st half of those games were tough. Maryville did put them away in the 2nd half.
