I seen you guys got handed by Cane Ridge. I was thinking this was a big season for yall and it would have been a little bit more competitive.

Riverdale has still got some building to do before they catch up to other teams in the region. Coach Kriesky has done an exemplary job, but there is only so much you can do in the time he has been HC

AMEN!  Man has the support of both new and Old fans as he tries to rebuild the 10 year effort to destroy what was one of the most formable programs in the state.

I still think it will be another story when it actually counts.  Now is the time for fine tuning your team.  Not for chest thumping by a METRO team actually doing well against a RuthCo Team in a RARE instance.

Hope this was just a bad outing but getting blown out by CR at home isn't a good start for year two.  I was expecting/hoping to see a lot of improvement this year.

 

How did Rankin do years one and two of his tenure?

This 2017-18 team is in trouble. The positives are the run defense can be outstanding with some improvement but the negatives far outweigh the pluses. The secondary is very weak and can be exploited and teams like Blackman will destroy it. The offense will be improved with another year experience under their belts. The question after watching 3 scrimmages is the play calling. The pro style offensive is questionable. Doing check downs to run off tackle for no gain over and over makes no sense. Scruggs is spark but they seem to be relying on him for the big strike scoring too much. The kicking game once again is horrible on a middle school. For the life of me I don't understand how a school of this size cant find anyone who can kick the ball. But the most troubling thing with this team once again is its lack of drive and discipline. Walking on and off the field and the lack drive in the players is puzzling. It's like they are just going through the motions. The only discipline I see is the screaming coming from the coach without results. I hate to say it but this team is looking at another 5-5 season.

    • Yeah they both should be good games whoever matches up with who. Wartburg has beaten Oliver Springs all 4 times they’ve played this year but they have been close games. I believe Wartburgs first sectional appearance was last year when they went to North Greene. Good luck to you all!
    • What did they do this year? Every other year, I’ve gone to one. It’s been a little scrimmage and then a bunch of games like a quarterback throwing challenge, O line versus D line, push-up challenge, etc.    But not surprised, nothing new that the program has been on the decline since they lost their recruiting middle school coach. The baseball coach still does his fair share, but he recruits good baseball players. Not good football players, and decent baseball players, definitely nothing like the middle school coach could do, he left for a middle school job down near Cleveland high school a few years back.
    • Never in my life have I seen a team in a scrimmage against their own defense look so lost and confused. The defense didn’t look much better, the coaching staff can’t keep their anger together, not only with the players but also with their other coaches. I feel awful for those players. None of them look like they wanted or should’ve been out there, but for the grown men on the sidelines acting like fools, it's just embarrassing to the Farragut name and reputation. I now see why they chose not to live stream this on their YouTube channel.
    • We could sure use some math teachers country wide. Ever go into a store or restaurant and the bill comes to $9.97 and you give them a ten dollar bill and 2 pennies because you wanted a nickle back and then the meltdown starts and the next thing two more people have to come and help figure it out and the place comes to a complete halt. I see this everyday and it's a sad representation of all these schools allowing these kids out the door to get shortchanged the rest of their life.
