UC Travels to Ripley -Tornadoes v/s Tigers

[BigSwoShow]

Okay guys, UC is coming off of a hard fought win that actually should have been won going away. Ripley is coming off of a loss to 4A Powerhouse Covington in which the Tigers held the Chargers to a season low 30 some odd points. Ripley scored 20 in this game. If my Tornadoes want to be competitive they are going to have to clean up some penalties and silly mistakes. This is our first real test since USJ. We need to be focused and on point. What say you?

Talked to Coach Barnes the other day when I was watching practice. He is a true legend. Would love it if they let him come on as a assistant to help mold the kids the way he did for years.

If Ripley goes back to the Wing T then this week it could be a 8-6 game with a missed 2 point conversion as the deciding factor. Two teams that don’t mind quarter long drives could make for a low scoring affair.

I believe Ripley gets it going this week and puts up more than 8 points in this game. Ripley by 2 scores.

Union City pretty much handled the Ripley Tigers last season. New year and new teams, but should be a good game with UC going to Tiny Knee Stadium this year. If Ripley plays defense like they did against Covington and can run the football, they should be just fine, but consistency isn't the Tigers best characteristic. Expected a bigger score differential in the UC-GC game, so I don't quite know what to think. I'll take Ripley to take this one at home, 28-14.

UC will have to do a much better job of holding on to the ball and stop committing silly uncalled for penalties. I believe we can play with Ripley but we can’t hurt ourselves.

Ripley Tomatoes just doesn’t have the same bang as the Ripley Tigers. Still funny though
