Agreed! Franklin might as well stay home! Big Big win for Riverdale coming up Saturday.

Yes, we shouldn't even bother to play. We don't stand a chance. Riverdale will win running away with it... starters out before the 1st quarter is even over.

[FHSrebel27]

But in all seriousness, a big congratulations to the Mr. Football 5A Back of the Year Dave Thomas from Riverdale. That's a huge honor for him and all the other winners today.

Wasn't Brentwood High formed when Franklin High split?  It happens.  It's just that this time, at least for now, most of the better athletes are now in Ravenwood's zone.

Not sure about that, Brentwood knocked them out of the playoffs, won state in volleyball and cross country. I'm not sure they have the better athletes. What i was saying, this might be the 3rd time now, Brentwood would be a football dynasty right now had they been able to keep all the athletes. They were split right at their peak. But as rebel27 said, this is the Riverdale-Franklin post so let's drop it. Congratulations to Franklin for making it out of this tough region. Best of luck against Riverdale.

I know Hotard is playing hurt for Franklin, and they lost another one in the Brentwood game. What was the kid's name that got hurt? Also, does Riverdale come into this game with any key injuries?

[FHSrebel27]

Hmm... well, should we divulge our injuries or not. Nah, I think not.

Before we hand Riverdale all the accolades and awards, let's give some recognition to a few Rebels. Not one Rebel mentioned for any post season awards, yet here they are - showing up at practice - continuing to work - for the one goal that every player and team pointed towards in August - December 4, 2004 7:00 pm Kickoff.

 

Derrian Waters 1,465 yards rushing on 229 carries (6.40 ypc) 16 rushing TD's. Accounts for 1,933 yards of offense and 22 TD's when his receiving and QB numbers are added in.

 

Michael Mikrut, Jonathon Haynes, Derrian Waters, very efficient passing with a completion percentage of 60% and 12 TD's (only 5 picks)

 

Stephen Hotard, Tim Leach, Bubba Lane, Mac Hibbett, Dawson Bryant, Titus Hardeman, Todd Crawford, Chaz Pace, Brooks Plummer, Derian Waters Jon Hewitt, Shannon Derricks - great job defensively holding teams to half the offensive output their accustomed to.

 

David Defatta, Punter - great job flipping the field position with hanging punts that aren't returned and putting 11 inside the 20.

 

David Campbell - currently 31 career FG's with a long of 55. 9 of 10 Kickoff's go for touchbacks, 122 career Touchbacks. Help put points on the board, and keeps field position in Franklins favor.

 

Ben Cross, Carl Gillam, Ben Seale, Daniel Thompson, Tim Leach, T O, and the rest of the O Line - great execution opening up holes for the running game that averages 5.5 yards per carry.

 

Tim Johnson, Danny Nowell, Donnie Webb, Coach Jones, Coach Curtis, Coach Parsons, Grand Daddy, Coach Alonzo - great job inspiring these guys and teaching them to BELIEVE!

[FHSrebel27]

GREAT post, faninthestand! Lookin' forward to seeing all of y'all this week... as I told David, it wasn't me being there that was bad luck vs Brentwood, it was the shirt I wore!

Riverdale was split apart 4 years ago to form Blackman High School. We got several people who would have started at Riverdale. RHS would be unstopable from 2000-2002 if BHS had never been built. The class of '02 team went 9-0 as freshmen, winning the Lions Bowl, and we outscored every team by an average of over 3 or 4 TD's.
