Go Raiders! Hopefully this game is as good as last season's game.

Rhea will win this game. With players quitting, and transferring we have basically lost 90% of our offense. We are basically starting the season with the 3rd string Qb and lost probably 10 tds from Elder leaving. I believe we will get better as the season goes along, but it’s gonna be a long season

Hey Foose, I hope your right but Rhea rarely plays good at Cleveland.

I've been hearing rumors about all these players quitting and transferring.... What in the world is going on over there?

Man idk, I don’t have an inside source to the program anymore. Players leaving, coaches leaving too.

I don’t think Cleveland folks really realized the kind of coach and the quality of a man they lost 4 years ago.  They should have given him anything he wanted and then some to stay.  The group of seniors as 8th graders was one of the top 3-4 groups to come through the middle school.  Several have chosen to focus on other sports and there has been attrition in the lower grades as well.  Tough deal.

Nothing Cleveland could do, Crawford’s parents we’re still in middle tenn, and he wanted to be closer to them. With their health and being older, football doesn’t compare

All due respect, I don’t believe that.  Hope the Raiders have a good year.

Regardless, Cummings is a good coach and is a proven winner. But I don’t believe he has a good staff around him. A coach is only as good as his staff
