alcoa at ravenwood - week 1

[theawesomebro]

can't believe there isn't already a topic on this.  thoughts?  predictions?  ravenwood finished 1st in their region last year with losses to MBA, oakland, JP2 and centennial.  not sure how they are looking this year.  alcoa seems to be loaded again.

Ravenwood might be better in all phases but so will Alcoa. I like the 'Naders by 17-21

Yea, I've tried to find out what the Raptors have this season. I have not come up with much?

Only thing was a scrimmage with CPA? Highlights below.

Most of Ravenwood's talent is pretty young. They'll have a better chance of competing with Alcoa in 2024

Playing a large enrollment 6A Program, even a middle of the road team can be tough for a smaller team.

My guess....Ravenwood has probably 100-110 players not including Freshman. Alcoa has typically around 70-75 players, including Freshman at practice.

Come 4th quarter in the predicted heat of 85-90 degrees forecasted for Friday, It will take a big hard fought battle to come back to Alcoa with the win. AND, only to battle another big 6A program loaded with talent in Bearden the following week.....sigh.

no I think ravenwood would be the one who might not want to honor the return trip if you guys clobber them.  I dont think this game will be all that tough for alcoa.  they might be better than last year but I dont think they are loaded with talent but I could be wrong.  you guys will be fine.  : )

love the humility tho.
