It was nice to see Ashland put a R/B in the backfield with the QB to help them get their running game going it's been awhile since we had more rushing yards (135) than passing yards (116), sophomore #26 Jacob Allton did a good job running the ball 8 carries for 70 yards.

All of the kids in that uniform are out there to make this community proud and every single one of them has something to do with a rider victory, whether it's making plays on Friday night or giving 110% on the scout team to make the ones better. EVERYONE contributes and that is what you call a TEAM!
You'd think that would be the thought of 100% of Riders fans.

Root for the name on the front of the jerset, not the one on the back.

Always so picky. :)

We should have a name on the front, IMO.

I agree...Don't know what year it was but I think I've seen some old pictures with Riders on the front of the jersey

Back in he very early 80's we had "Red Riders" on the backs of the jerseys...haven't seen anything in my research that had it on the front.

How about that matte (no gloss) black helmet some college teams are going with? I think that would look sweet with our helmet stripe.

I put my vote in for Ashland being the best 2-4 team in the state.

Looked at some old paper clippings from the 1984 season and the uniforms were just the numbers front and back, so it would have probably been back in the 70's or earlier.

I think adding a Block lettering "ORRVILLE" across the front of the jersey would look good and then change the shoulder stripes to actually match the pants.....Like kettering alter's uniform.

That black helmet would look sweet with our helmet stripe and red facemsk...here's an example

It would look so sweet, but still have the "tradition" part of the helmet. I've yet to find a team that has a similar helmet stripe to ours.....which is really neat. The only thing that I think resembles it is those old college football helmets that OSU had with the thick red stripe , but even that was just a solid color. Most teams use the double or triple stripe.... To me, our helmet is the best part of our uniform.

I think Ashland will put up over 30 on the scoreboard but will it be enough?:confused:

Please don't change a thing we have the sharpest uniforms going. If anything go back to red pants all the time.

I agree our helmets are the best. It's nice that we don't change them every couple years like other teams do.
