Riverdale Irrelevant

I'm not gonna sit here and pretend that I know the slightest thing about the zoning issue. I do know this: The new superintendent is a former principal at OHS who just promoted one of his vice principals to replace him, who in turned hired the superintendent's son-in-law to fill his spot. Oakland also has 2 school board members with heavy ties to Oakland. I'd be surprised if the rezoning went badly enough to seriously hurt them, in my opinion.

However, if it did, Oakland has the picture perfect model of a feeder system now. From the bottom to the top, these kids are playing in the same system, and each level is pretty successful right now. I do t think Oakland drops off much as long as either Creasy or Jackson (DC) remains there

Yes, but he was a Vice Principal at R'dale BEFORE he went to Oakland.

He is a straight up person and will bend over backwards to be fair to EVERY school.  Just the kind of man he is.

 

TDC, the weight system we knew is NOT there anymore.  Conditioning is off at all the schools also because of the T$$AA silly rules that favors weak programs instead of machines like we knew.  Can't yell at the kids, can't make them run the snake...........You know Coach A wussy rules!  Most would feint dead away if they had seen me running the 'clone' the mile with the 75 pound pack every day AFTER practice!

And as to mellow, just don't have the strength to carry the 45 anymore..............or the badge to go with it.

The Police strength pepper spray WILL get the job done most times now though.  LOL

Before that, he was a teacher at Oakland. Your not wrong, I just dont see a scenario where this doesnt work in Oakland's favor

I will give you that Oakland's feeder Middle School is giving them tougher players coming in.  I do not know what Christiana's motivation is, but it is NOT physical tough.

Which is led by former Warrior Scott Thomas and  was led by current Blackman HC Kit Hartsfield at one point (another former warrior)

Tonight will tell a lot about how this season is headed.

WARRIORS, it is your game to win and prove the doubters wrong!

Correction. Riverdale and Gallatin - both irrelevant. Both feared powerhouse teams once before, both are beating sticks these days. Gallatin can't coach up the talent that the middle schools are constantly feeding into it. Riverdale is in a major rebuild phase. Wish y'all the best of luck moving forward.

Going to be a long season.  From it form a base that will be FEARED for years to come.  A dynasty is not built from one or two games.  It is from being consistently good year after year after YEAR!

Now work those underclassmen hard.  They are the future.

EVERYBODY back in the weight room NOW.  Coaches, you to!  Show the young men you know what you are talking about and will not ask them to do anything you are not willing to do yourselves!

OK, for this week we have 0-2 R'dale at 0-2 Siegel.

WHO gets their first win this week?  I say R'dale shows up and WINS!

LOD is as good as it gets...I think his warriors get the W with a big  run game 

 

[Lost Old Dad]

Well we got the 'win', but from the call I got from someone I trust it was UGLY!

OK Warriors, ugly or not we will take it.  Now use it to feed your hunger for more and more WINS!

Blaze and Pep, Thank You.  The players and staff are what is important though.

36 for Riverdale is a very good HS running back. Runs hard and is quick, too. Not easy to bring him down. It was a good win for the Warriors last night. They were better than Siegel but kept trying to let them back in it.
