How are they doing the enrollment at Rockvale?  Do you have to go if your a senior/junior or is it an option to leave your former school?  I remember playing Stewart’s Creek early in their first couple of seasons and they had a ton of underclassmen and very very few seniors.  That in itself could be an indication of how well Rockvale will do early on.  I think Gallatin will be their first true scrimmage of the fall.

I figure they will smoke LaVergne because Rice has a reputation for running a disciplined program.  LaVergne has a reputation of being an undisciplined ZOO!

Not having seen any of the other teams they will play, I will go out on a limb and say at least a 5-5 season, with a chance of being 7-3.

If they go 5-5, Rice should be COY. It's really hard to be competitive in Year 1. So many variables to account for. Even with a favor schedule 3-4 wins would be a good season

Bold prediction. I hope your right, Coach Rice seems like a good guy. Don't think it'll be long before they're contending for a playoff spot every year

Coach Rice is a great guy but is finishing in the Top 4 of your region (is that not what it takes to qualify for the playoffs?) really having a good season?  Just asking because I remember when you had to win your district to advance to the playoffs.

Yes, that's what it takes to qualify. For the first 3-4 years, I think making the playoffs should be considered a good season for Rockvale. Siegel didn't even make the playoffs until Year 6, didn't win a playoff game until it's 9th season. Stewarts Creek didn't make the playoffs until Year 4 and still hasn't won a playoff game in 6 seasons. Blackman fared alot better, but they basically got the Riverdale JV team when Rankin essentially owned RuCo.

If Rockvale is anything like Siegel and Stewarts Creek, they'll struggle to win games the first 2 seasons and take a leap forward in Year 3

Question: There used to be a Rockvale High School about 45 years ago that was consolidated into Riverdale. Was the old Rockvale the Rockets? Will the new school retain the original Rockvale History?

Interesting question and I will try and answer.  I think that is Rockvale School, a K-12 back then and I believe they were (and still are) The Rockets.... After Riverdale opened, original school was K-8 until the Rockvale Middle School opened.   I believe the original Rockville will remain as a K-6 school.   David Price played baseball as a middle school player at Rockvale.

    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say .. 
    • I have a sophomore that can do 177 (preferred) or 192. Sent you an email.
    • speaking of board members how can a man get arrested 12 days ago and still be head coaching a team in TC school system? looks like your right about the tc board members. I bet it would be different if they had a kid on the team
