Announcers on 96.5 ESPN said the Riverside win over Lewis Co. was a surprise. Wasn't a surprise to any of the Riverside faithful. I don't know why we keep being the underdogs.

You wasnt the underdog in our book man. A lot of people havent seen yall play so they just try to go off past seasons. I figured it would be R6 teams in the third round.

Sad part is Hickman has made it out the second round just as many times Lewis county in the last ten years. #weakschedule

You realize we schedule Hickman County, right?

No surprise here. Riverside is a scary good team. They’re scary because they are slept on every game. Lewis Co had a great season. Big win on their schedule when they took down Columbia Academy. I hope to see Lewis County get over that hump in the future. Much respect for the head coach there.

Yep, you called it Vandy. You said early on in the season it would be Riverside and Waverly in the Quarters.

Hats off to the Lewis Co. Panthers. They got behind early and kept it close until the final buzzer. They never gave up, and kept calling time outs late in the fourth to try to get some points. They are a fine program and very hard to beat in high school football - year in and year out. Their facility is as nice as any public 2A school I've been to. They were a lot harder to beat than they were three years ago when we played them at Riverside. Those young men have grown up! Wish the best to the Lewis Co. seniors and am sure they will go far in school and life.

Yes, most people in this end of the state have a lot of respect for Coach Sharp. I've been across the field from him as a fan at three different schools over the past 20 years. He is hard to beat when his team is having a bad day and impossible to beat when they are having a good day. And yes, RS is slept on most every game. We are in the middle of nowhere as far as press goes. We are too far west for Nashville to report on and Jackson only talks about us when we are playing Lexington or one of the Jackson private schools (in the past).

For those saying the region is what it is; Playing the Redboiling Springs and Collinwoods of the classification system for non region games to pad the W/L record doesn’t help come second round of the playoffs does it?

Then hang your pride of the season on a small private school (CA) that has to move up, is a season defining moment!

That gym floor read-ta-go?

LC next year-9-3 with another second round exit!

Once again another weak opponent. When we do have a good team and coach we make it out of the second round unlike Lewis. For the long run Lewis county has making the playoffs you would think they would have a few golden balls. And a reminder the two teams playing in 3rd round are from region 6.

Superimpressive feat by RS. Most surprising win of the playoffs so far, and especially that you blanked them on their field. Wow. Speechless.

You wouldn't be nearly as surprised if you'd taken some of the opinions of the fans who have watched Riverside all season into consideration. Defense is the Panthers' hallmark, and Lewis County's offensive strengths went right into the teeth of that defense. Eagleville and Lewis were pretty evenly matched, but Eagleville's offense was more diverse...that's why I posted that Eagleville was probably the toughest region five opponent for the Panthers. CA and Lewis both are/were tailor made for Riverside to stop.
