It was very noticeable that Coach C gets jazzed up with the kids after a big play. Coaches should expect big plays from their players, but nice to see him showing some passion and recognition.
Rocky River at Richmond
- Thread starter RAIDERS2014
- Start date
Crushed a Rocky River team that we were telling you needed to figure out a way to score some more points. They have the size and athleticism...but what they don't have is an offense that is suitable for these types of games.
Nonetheless...a quality win for Richmond! RR may or may not be in the running to win the SW4A conference (time will tell), but they aren't Garinger, either. That was a very sound margin of victory against a team with a very good physical presence about them.
The leading rusher for Richmond had 42 yards and we won.
I swear you can't win if you don't run the football.

This is from the daily journal:
Zeigler finished the game 13 of 22 for 120 yards and three scores. Ellerbe had four catches for 60 yards and two touchdowns. Damontre Bennett rushed four times for a team-leading 42 yards.
Richmond limited Rocky River to 31 rushing yards on 35 attempts. Rocky River quarterback Tyshawn Carter was 20 of 25 for 150 yards.

With all the worries I read prior to the game, immense success was the outcome.
I applaud the kids in Richmond

Pressure can make diamonds and the pressure that the Raider faithful puts on its own, the same pressure that everyone else is so critical of, is the difference between RC and everyone else in NC.
I wish Richmond nothing but a masterful season. Continue to have faith and fear will be the least of worries
I agree the passing game looked good ...But , I will say this ...To beat the upper level teams the Raiders better come up with a better running game....The RR defense was the same all night and we could not get the run game going ...Our linemen looked confused at times on runs....There are still some battles going on at the o line positions...I have confidence it will all get worked out......I was thrilled with our teams emotion last night.....The defense was flying around and getting to the ball in groups...Only let down was the opening second half drive of RR.....Special teams played big with a blocked punt and a return punt for a td , and good coverage by the ko team and our extra point team, with one exception.......For game one I was pleased with our performance.........We will get better this week......On to Anson next week..........Good job Raiders...Continue to work and improve each week.....Congratulations.........1 and 0......nuff said....
You better beat these boys before they figure out this offense.
The ceiling for these boys will only be limited by how fast they pick it up.
Calhoun, remember that name.
Every new week of practice will increase their abilities exponentially.

I really like him at WR. He only played a couple of downs at QB. He reminds of a kid I coached years back. While he could play QB, he was much more effective from RB or WR. He went on to play at ECU as a WR.
People talk about Tommy Knott having players from all over Charllotte,how about Mallard Creek? They just don't have talent like that by chance. I would play them too. So don't be down on Knott for game he won at Indy. MC may have more talent at every position than all other teams combined in Charllotte. With talent like they have if they lose one game it will surprise me. Who will be able to play with them this year?
