Mp comes out disrespects our field and the diamond in the middle. Coaches start jawing at each other. Maybe a bad move for the vistors cause this crowd is hype now.
Played in the 78 game and still PO'D about it.I'd have to do a little research to see how many times we both made it to the 3rd round together. I know Richmond beat Scotland twice in the 2nd round in 97 and 98 on their way to back to back championships.
The biggest game Richmond and Scotland ever played was in 1978 when the Raiders beat the Scots 9-7 in the Eastern Regional Final the week before the Raiders won their first state championship against West Charlotte.
Apparently this game is a sore subject for Scotland fans as they believe there was a bad call that allowed this to happen.
EDIT: Ok apparently other than that 1978 game, the only other time Richmond and Scotland reached the Quarterfinals (3rd round) in the same year was 2012. Richmond lost that round to Jack Britt in a 56-52 slugfest. Scotland won their 3rd round matchup with EE Smith but went on to lose in the Semifinals the following week to New Bern.
Apparently when we make a deep run, they don't and when they do, we don't.
Great year for the Raiders. Fans all gotta feel good about the direction of the program as they are certainly back in the mix.
They backed all the smack talk up for sure.
They did RCO. I didn’t like the outcome, but we were just outmatched. We will be back and this was a good year, just have to keep raising the bar.
The more I read on MP, the more I wondered how good that passing game was. I was very impressed with the receiver routes and catches were great. They know how to catch for sure. The QB started off on his throws, but once he got warmed up, he can sling it. He knows where to put it, but it helps to have receivers like that and time to do it. It will take a defense that can put serious pressure on that QB to beat them. It seemed all the noise was around MC, Vance, and Hough, but this MP team may just make the most at the end.
Raider7697, sorry about the loss. Richmond is one of the state's premier programs.
I wanted to ask if you saw Richmond's games with Wake Forest and Myers Park, and if so who would you pick should they meet in the finals.
Nice meeting you tonight, S2V2, enjoyed the conversation and the game. how about that Mustang Magic!S2V IS AT THE ROCK
7-7 Richmond
lol

Funny to see the Richmond guys already comparing a MP- WF match up. MP very hot right now and going to RC and blowing them out is certainly an eye opener but Vance is for real.
Two great football minds in Brand and Miles Aldridge and punch you in the mouth defense. The team they rolled tonight has every bit the talent that MP has if not more.
Forecast is for rain and very cold next Friday and Vance field not in great shape. Vance kids will make it a street fight.
Against WF, Pinecrest is a non-factor.Yea but... nobody's even mentioned Pinecrest. .. Congrats to the PATRIOTS . The school wanted to do away with the football program 10 or 12 years ago. Coach Metzger has done wonders there as they reached several milestones this year... Never say Never... from a Die-hard RICHMOND RAIDERS fan... carry on PINECREST PATRIOTS. .. you're in the BIG league now.

That was only because that specific match-up was asked to be compared by another poster directed to me. Notice I mentioned Vance may have the right tools before I stated anything. Otherwise, I would have never went there. It's not important this week and otherwise I just congratulated MP. Vance may win, just haven't seen them, but that wasn't the question asked. You took that out of context.
Not just you. I have seen it as a foregone conclusion on multiple boards. You are right. its all about matchups. Richmond does not see alot of D1 Power 5 type talent in the pasing game week to week. Hard to practice one week and be ready for it. Not a slight, just reality. I thought the enviroment might rattle the young QB. Clearly it didnt.
Vance is built for and plays against that type of talent and scheme 4-5 times a year. Huge difference. Now...if Maye goes out and hits 17-25 and doesnt give it away like he did against Butler in the early game MP could win. I just think weather. field conditions combined with 4 or 5 kids on Vance who will play power 5 ball at next level on defense and defensive coordinator who is has coached at the NFL and College level will give MP some problems they didnt have last night. Make no mistake....I think MP is very good. I believe the top 5 Charlotte schools were all very good this year based mostly on defense and very good QB play.
The team we played last night would be no comparison to the team we played 14 weeks ago. If you could do that then, of course MP would be the favorite. I'm certain that WF has improved 12 times since then. As you say, we may not see that matchup this year, but it wouldn't surprise me. I know nothing about Vance. I know they better be ready for a team with NO class and very unsportsmanlike .Don't play MR. NICE GUY with them cuz they can get NASTY. I don't know if it's a growing fad or what, it seems to be going around this year with the fights and stuff going on. I know Richmond didn't expect those guys to come off the busses and come out onto our field and do what they did. We hadn't seen anything like that this year if ever. I know that behavior didn't have anything to do with the outcome, but it should have been an unsportsmanlike or something, although the game hadn't started yet. I feel like the athletic association will have to deal with these type issues eventually or these teenage kids are getting the wrong message. HEY...we had a very good year...GO RAIDERS.
Lol...best way to make that stuff go away...WIN.

At the end of the day, this is the problem with Charlotte football. The teams (and their student sections) are taught that it's OK to be a douche canoe. I am a teacher of students. I am a "coach" of sorts and if my group EVER acted like any of those students....EVER.... we would get back on the bus. I TEACH my students to win with class...lose with class and ACT like they've been taught at home....and they don't DARE cross me! EVER! Sadly, some of my students haven't been taught much at home so that falls on my shoulders to show them how to act. I teach in a very poor area in the dead center of a medium sized city. An INNER CITY SCHOOL. If you can't teach a bunch of silver spoon, privileged kids from the upper middle class area of Charlotte to conduct themselves with pride and self-respect then I frankly have no use for you as a human being. Scott Chadwick needs to do a better job. PERIOD. I don't care about Final Scores. I care about raising and teaching MEN to act like MEN! The coaching staff there failed.
Don't even get me started on the student section. Look I get it. Your job is to outdo the other student section. Don't care what you say or do in the stands, but don't run into the parking lot acting like idiots. I called them out. I told a bunch of them, that looked like they weighed 100 lbs soaking wet, to "Go Home Nerds" So one little fella looked back at me like he was gonna say something, and he saw a 6'2 300lb grown man staring at him and he said, "Have a good night sir" I shook his hand and told him to be safe going home. I know they were being kids, but you cannot do that kinda crap. They are lucky they didn't get arrested (I hope none did) but it's absolutely embarrassing for that school and that administration. To be fair, I did see a few Richmond kids in the parking lot jawing, but it was literally 2 of them compared to a mob from the other team.
When you have 3 schools in CMS have their seasons ended for their on field conduct......and you have this kind of mess going on with other schools (I see you Hough) It's a problem. I wish to God, the NCHSAA and the CMS Athletic Director would take some action and make an example out of any school that allows this type of behavior to perpetuate. It's unacceptable in any sport and it's DANGEROUS when emotions run so high in the sport of football.
The referees did a piss poor job managing that game. So many 15 yard unsportsmanlike calls made that should have never happened if they had nipped this crap in the bud at the beginning of the game. Tom Warner or whatever the white hat's name is did a bad job. He needs to be told he did a bad job so this mess doesn't happen on his watch again.
Bottom Line: Kids will succeed if we teach them. They will Fail if we let them. We need to do a better job.
They played such a great game and deserve to go win a title. It's a shame they don't act like champions.
