SMYRNA VS. RIVERDALE

[BlazeP]

I really believe the Smyrna vs. Riverdale is really being downplayed alot this week. I think it will easily be the game of the week. Maybe the game of the year.(j/k) But anyhow i really see Smyrna having the chance to beat Riverdale in this game. I mean look Riverdale will probably downplay this game thinking oh well it's Smyrna, and were got them at TOMAHAWK. Well not so fast my friend. Smyrna has a great QB, and their backfield will be loaded with plenty of speed in Shannon, and Johnson. I really look for an upset in this one and if you have nothing to do friday night go to the game it will be one you don't forget.

PREDICTION: Smyrna-24 ; Riverdale-21

If you can't go, tape it off of Comcast like I will. It will be on channel 27 at 7:30 . I am excited that I will get to come home from our game at Oakland and watch this one! i am anxious to see how Wolke stacks up this year, and how Thomas fills Britton's shoes.

 

It is sure a big change from last year on the boards. Smyrna was on here in June saying how badly they were gonna stomp Riverdale and take the region. i guess those players either got censored by Shadowens or grew up. I hate to say it but I kind of miss tangling with them online!

im sorry but i dont see smyrna pulling off the upset at all. i saw smyrna in the spring and they didnt impress me too much. of course though they do have a great qb in wolke...he could lead his team to victory but i doubt. i hope smyrna wins by 4 touchdowns....because that will give me a lot more confidence for lincoln county going into the riverdale game.....because lc smoke smyrna in the spring.....but i really dont see it happening that way. i think riverdale take this one 38-21

Ya i know it seemed like every year with Smyrna players and fans it was their year to win state. They've really droped off this website huh. But i truely think before this year is over they'll be back on here again........

I think it will be close, but I still think Riverdale will pull the win.

I will be taping this game, because i have to work. I picked riverdale on the big ones, but im hoping for an upset. High scoring game. Wolke will have a great game, possibley passing for 250+ yards. Smyrna on top 28-24. Risky prediction, i know, but i saw Smyrna against Hville last week, and they looked pretty good.

Last years team was supposed to be the "Team" to win the first title for Smyrna. After that Smyrna players and fans have realized that you can't look that far into the season and you can only win state if you make it to the playoffs first and you can only mkae it to the playoffs if you win and never overlook anybody the way we overlooked Cookville last year. I really think if Smyrna realize the fact that they are playing "Riverdale" (ooh scary!!!) and that riverdale can be beaten then they will win.

If Smyrna wins this game I don't think it will be because Riverdale overlooked Smyrna. This is a BIG game. After Friday night only one team in the region will be undefeated and that team is going to have the inside track to the region crown (although Oakland will still have a say in that).

 

Smyrna and Riverdale are both likely going to be playoff teams. There is a lot riding on this game so early in the season. Let's see:

 

~ the early lead in the region

~ home field in the playoffs

~ the chance to show your stuff on TV

~ bragging rights

~ winning streak at tomahawk

~ winning streak in the region

~ probably some other stuff

 

This is a young Riverdale team that will get better each week. Smyrna is a big, and very serious, challenge to this team. Riverdale is definitely talented enough to win this game. The only question is whether they are mature enough. Sure wish this game was being played 3 or 4 weeks later.

 

Back to my original point; if Smyrna wins I think they become the region favorite and could really shake up the final region standings. If they win the game it will be because they are for real.

And if they do beat Riverdale, then they just do. I can just imagine the boards if that happens, but that will be all right too. It has to happen sometimes, and I figure the Warriors will make the playoffs anyway. State championships are won in weeks 11-15.

 

But I think I will stick with Riverdale to win this one.

[FairInMyFavor]

I will be at this game....and the NEXT game at Tomahawk Stadium. If Riverdale keeps their unbeaten streak at home this season, they will have done an outstanding job. Smyrna is going to surprise some folks.

[Croach]

I'll be there! I was going to get on here and start on the strength of schedule that Riverdale has to play, but then I got to looking at the other teams in the region. This region is taking a shot this year! Has anyone noticed this:

 

Riverdale - Lincoln Co., Dickson Co.,

 

Oakland - Brentwood Academy, Franklin, Lincoln Co

 

Smyrna - Hendersonville

 

LaVergne - MBA

 

Blackman - Lincoln Co, Brentwood, Gallatin

 

Wilson Central - Everyone is a battle.

 

We (the region) play the best the state has to offer. I don't see anyway ANY of these team go through the season perfect. Besides having unbelievable nonregion games, we all have to beat up on each other.

Ya i couldn't imagine if the Bulldogs won this game. The message broads will light up......
