Huddle up and then the "Three times, three times, three times. One two three HIT! One two three HIT! One two three HIT! Rip 30 split on the number, rip three O split on the number, READY... BREAK"! Lining up "quietly" before one of the captains said "GET IN HERE" and the madness that followed.....

Yeah, I remember.... "Kill em all..... God will sort em out"! LOL! Go Riders!

The cleats hitting the concrete outside the locker room-the playing of Lunatic Fringe on the speakers-the sound of Plumley yelling "Lets go Riders"-the sound of Kent Smith on the PA-the smell of the fresh fall air-the people lined up to buy a 50/50 ticket-the buzz that is Orrville football! The band playing "The Horse". A lot has changed in Orrville but the foundation and the tradition NEVER will! Go Riders!!! RTR!!!!!

HATED IT! Running down the hill was worst than going up simply because it was just steep enough to get your momentum going faster than your legs could keep up...and....WHAM. Reminded me of the cemetery hill at the Jr. High and Coach Mello making us run it for half a practice!

Around the school...MOVE! Then waiting behind the corner of the school for the guilty party and just shedding him right there!

Amazing job redrider1!!!! All time conference history page is pretty telling. Also loved the all time opponents records! Since I can't pat you on the back pat yourself! Really cool, printed it and let my boss look it over.... He is from REVERE!!! He brags about beating us in 90 but I always ask him how many times they have made the playoffs since then????

Great information!!!

That conference info is interesting. I think from Chippewa Conference through All Ohio League we won 16 of 26 possible league titles.

Only 2 since 1999, but compare the size of schools in the Chippewa/AOC/AOL to the size of schools in the OHC & OCC. Much different.

I like the 22 playoff appearances & 29 playoff wins too

The coaching history page was pretty cool as well. Taking a look at Devault's winning percentage and all time wins in the limited number of seasons as head coach (comparative of course), VERY telling as well! Again GREAT job. As a loyal Orrville fan that is kind of out of the loop this was awesome
