Thanks for the kind words Ringz we will do out best, but we have a big game tonight before we can even think about Massillon.

Call it whatever you want.....but I have feeling in my heart that we will be playing for it all next week.

Chagrin had their run last year. It's our turn.

Why not us?

Orrville vs Hartley next week, wouldn't that shock a lot of people ?

Orrville, If you win the field position and turnover battles! You will WIN this game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Good Luck Orrville............... GO RIDERS

Averaging 1 post per hour today....... hhhhmmmmmmm.......... Must be the calm before the STORM

What time is everyone meeting at Bdubs?

Our coaching staff has shown a knack for putting gameplans together that seems to throw opponents for a loop (at least for awhile). We seem to force the opponent to adjust - how quickly CF adjusts will be key tonight. Great thing about that is once they do adjust, we throw something different at them! Our staff is very, very smart in designing schemes and gameplans. Conversely, our opponents have a hard time putting together a plan for us -I believe for 2 reasons: they're very surprised by our athleticism and we have multiple threats. And a 3rd and arguably biggest reason: our kids believe in themselves. Go Riders - show 'em how you do it!

I know I will be there at 2:30 to watch the early games and have a Christmad ale or 2 or 3 or.........

Wishing you Orrville guys the best of luck.....awww let's face it...it's not really luck is it? Go Red Riders

CF's balance does worry me a little. All three of our playoff wins were against 1-dimensional teams. EC & Triway threw it almost exclusively....and Genoa ran it exclusively.

CF will do both and we'll have to play honest. They have a big line and I'm sure they'll try to run it right at our middle LB's. Guys like Cody, Trevor, Max are going to have to make plays tonight.

Both have athletes and both have played "up" in schedule. I think we're the more battle tested team, but we also havent played from behind since the 1st qtr of the Triway game.

We've been fortunate to not make any big turnovers and penalties haven't bit us...we've also benefited from turnovers at the most perfect time by the opponent. Things have gone about as "right" as they could this postseason.

We have to take advantage of opportunities presented to us. Have to put points on the board at every opportunity.
Has the makings of a classic.

Oh Yes.......GAME DAY! Making my Friday appearnance so I can stay in BRF's top 10. Go Riders beat Tigers!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I learn how to spell, I will be a force to reckon with. Trying to catch Orrville QB on here.

LOL

Good breakdown RR1.

The offense has to get going early, we have to put some points up in the first quarter, period! We are extremely hard to beat once we have a lead.

Nice to see the Riders represented so well in the All Daily Record football teams. Go Big Red!

^^Indeed.

Mason, Sam, Stew, Tre, Matt, Derek G - 1st team

Cody, Max, Kyle, Dan, Drew, Trevor - 2nd team

Derek V, Travis - Hon. Mention

Congrats to all who made the DR teams!

I agree QB - if we can jump on 'em early we can force them to be a one dimensional team just like the past 3 opponents. If that happens look out! The "D" would then be able to "fly" a little more freely and pin those ears back!

Exactly, it does worry me a little bit that they are balanced....we can't just sit back and say ok it's another pass, or oh they are going to run it again. We have to know each situation, down and distance, and what their tendancies are....But like I said, If we get a lead look out!! They will find out what Orrville football is all about, and take some shots.
