Carving his own niche

 

Miller following in long line of great Riverdale tailbacks.

 

DNJ article on Gaston and other Riverdale great backs.

[hs sports fan]

Where would you list Miller outta him, King, Chesterfield, Howard, and Duke?

[topkak]

gotta go like this

1. king (mr football and Td and total yds records at RHS)

2. duke (king broke duke's records)

3. howard

4. chesterfield (pokey just got it done)

5. miller (still 2 years to set the bar)

(he is for sure talented enough to match king and dukes records)

I think Gaston has a great chance to break all these guys records.

[hs sports fan]

yea me too, he is one bad lil dude

[Guest region4fan]

He can be as good as he wants to be...all in his court or should I say field. That pic and article in the DNJ today was a good one. I thought he kind of looked like Snoop though in that pic?? Anybody else think so??

 

Seems like I remember some bad boys from the past named Roper from Riverdale that sure got the job done too!! Seems like there were a million of those brothers. in that family!

I mean all the ones named have been running backs but there have been more great players than just our RB's. Locke, Henry, Thomas, Oliver.

The Ropers were running backs at RHS too. They were back in the late 80's or early 90's, I think. Probably before you were walking hs sports fan!! thumb

Gaston will lead that pack.... not yet but he will. For now, i gotta put king in front of him just because of his accomplishments after four years. After Gaston's year this year though, I'll probably change all that. He's got a good head on his shoulders, is strong, fast, etc, etc, just like rankin said.... he's everything a coach wants in a back. King had a lot of tools also. But not as many as Gaston. He's a natural and will go down as one of the best in the state after its all done.

And whats even funny about it is Gaston lives in Blackman's zone.

I remember the coach down at Lincoln County saying that the offensive line Ralph King was running behind was the best high school line he had ever seen. It's still early but I don't think this line is as good as those great OLs. Of course, I'm hoping they get after it and prove me wrong.

 

Great backs usually have a great line to run behind and a QB that can throw to keep the defense honest. Our guys need to keep working hard to be championship caliber at every position.

Then I guess it all evens out as Jeremy Mimms from Blackman is living in Lavergne's zone.
