I like how Riverside beat the Mustangs in the playoffs last year and all of a sudden this is a "rivalry." 

No disrespect Panthers, but I don't think many Huntingdon fans consider this a "Rivalry" yet. Milan, obviously. McKenzie, for sure. Camden even, yeah probably. Still seems way too one-sided to be considered a true rivalry yet, imo.

Where has anyone called this a rivalry?

Ok ok I will say it!

It’s a RIVALRY

Both teams coming off real chippy games to say the least. This one should just be a hard hitting smashmouth game.

Good news for us Rebel fans as we travel to Perry County.  There should be plenty of seats to eat fish in Parsons.

Should be a great game! Toss up for me, leaning towards the stanks but it wouldn't surprise me to see Riverside take the W.

What is chippy? Huntingdon/Milan was a hard hitting game.

Just not all of the hits being legal.

My 2 cents, for what its worth!

Huntingdon/ Riverside is not a rivalry, however .. in Riverside's eyes this is the team they love to hate and have the upmost respect for. Huntingdon also respects Riverside immensely. 

I have several close friends that live in Parsons, and they have kids who are starters on this team. They do not think they are going to run all over us, they do not think they are better than us at all. Riverside is well-aware that the record books are one-sided. 

They are also aware that both teams are very good right now. This game is going to have a Playoff type atmosphere. Region championship could very well be on the line for this game. I for one am glad that this game is in Huntingdon.

If Huntingdon wins, it pretty much solidifies them as region champions which will mean we host all 4 rounds of the playoffs if we are able to advance that far. If Riverside wins, it will come down to there game with Milan. So again, huge game for both teams here!

Riverside is currently ranked #1 in state, Huntingdon is ranked #5.. but rankings dont mean anything! The game is played on the field not the newspapers. 

I honestly feel as if Huntingdon's and Parson's rushing attack will eat up both teams defense. which team eliminates the turnovers? that could be the difference! Can Huntingdon continue to make its extra points? That could be the difference in this ball game as well!.

 

My prediction....

Huntingdon - 34

Riverside - 28

I agree with much of what you said. Great post. Just want to point out one thing. If Huntingdung wins the region championship they are not guaranteed the first 4 reds at home. This year the upper portion of the bracket hosts in the 3rd and 4th rd. So if you meet the region 5 1 seed in the 3rd round you will have to go to them. Win that one and you get the semis at home.

I’m thinking it will be a low scoring game like 21-14 type. I don’t think you could go wrong picking either team to win but my gut is telling Riverside will win that’s why I’m picking Huntingdon by 7
