Riverside is a sound football team...they play defense and run pretty well, yet have balance enough on offense that you can't tee off on the run or pass. No weakness on defense either...not "great", but not easy to score on. I have to make Waverly a heavy favorite against anyone in 5/6, but after them the Panthers are right there. Just hope that the Hickman co. game was a "fluke"...homecoming and looking past someone can do that sometimes. I don't know. Might have been a little of homecoming. Might have been a little let down after the trip to Waverly. Either way, Riverside has won two games this year on bad nights and that is an improvement. They are sitting at 6-2 and should end up 8-2 or 7-3. (As a fan I'm saying 8-2.) Waverly will be hard for any team in Reg. 5 or 6 to beat. But if any team has a chance at them, it is Riverside. If you don't believe me ask the Waverly people. Unless I'm wrong, they will agree. As far as the rankings, I also think Waverly should be 1 or 2 in the state this week, and not behind Columbia Academy or Lewis Co. No disrespect to those fine Region 5 teams. It's just Waverly had a strong run in the playoffs last year and they have reloaded this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way the poll works (and I don't like), is that you get a lot of credit for past position, and they should have been above Meigs for that reason. Doesn't matter though...nice thing is that it all gets settled where it matters. Good luck to the Panthers...take care of what you should, and the rest will fall into place.

ddaddy Posted October 18, 2017 Report Share Posted October 18, 2017 I do look for Hickman Co. to get back on the winning track with FRA. HC has some weapons and an offense that can get on a roll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea the lopsided margin of victory in the LC game is hard to judge because it is such a rival game. If you look at it close they are a couple of plays away from finishing 2nd in the Region.

ddaddy Posted October 19, 2017 Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 The greatest potential upset in the 1st round between 5 & 6 is Eagleville over Riverside. I have seen RS on film against Obion and I have seen EV up close so it could happen. I'm not predicting it yet just an onservation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
