my bad max preps did not have the river valley game on the page

Well from what i saw from week 1 river valley has a huge edge in special teams. Kicking game and return game both looks very good. Otherwise think this will be a pretty good match up. It was hard to tell what river valley really has against a bad Rock Hill team. Did notice a lot of cut back runs so blue defense will have to stay at home and not over pursue. Think the blue devils will continue to improve this week. My guess is that it is a one score game going into the 4th quarter again. If Blue wants to have a chance to win. Must avoid the ply they have once in a while where they are just not ready.

It will be the eighth meeting between the schools, and first since 2000. The Blue Devils lead the series with 7 wins against I loss. That one loss came in 1996 when Jimmy Gilmore, son of current GAHS Hall of Famer Jim Gilmore ran wild in a 21-0 Raider victory.

River Valley opened its 2015 season with a 26-0 win over Rock Hill. Gallipolis lost its opener 26-12 to host Meigs.

RV should win but they must contain Kole Carter. I was impressed with him Friday. He looked tougher than I remember him being. The Devils can do this. Penalties absolutely killed them on Friday. This will be a classic, but in the end I have to go with RV by a score.

RV- 28
GA-20

"must Contain Cole Carter", LOL!! He averaged 3yds a carry! Was totally in effective after Meigs just started keying on him, we were never in that game! Who cares if your down 20 points and run your Qb every down? He never gives the ball to the RB that is not hard to "contain"! We have one player who is decent on defense that is Sipple, the rest can't tackle, trip over their feet in open field, get lost in coverage, take horrible angles. This is the worst defensive team I have ever seen at GA period. Line play is horrid. Why do we keep recycling the same coaches and changing the head Coach? I remember RV getting slammed for doing this a few years ago!

This will be RV 19- GA 13 imho we just don't seem to have a break away threat. RV kids have to downplay the hype!

Jottings,

This is actually, I believe, the 11th match-up and first since 2001. They also played in 92, 93 and 2001, with GAHS winning all 3 of those.

[jottings]

You are right This will he the 12th meeting. I could not find those three scores from my files in the attic. GAHS leads the series with 10 wins and one loss. Scores should be on file at the Gallipolis Library.

I didn't play football at RVHS, I was a senior the one year we beat GAHS.
This remains as one of my greatest high school memories.
The entire week leading up to the game, it just felt different than the previous year's.
The night before, we had a bonfire pep rally, and I think everyone went away from that with the thought that we would win that Friday night.
I can recall everything from that night. That the score was only 21-0 was a gift, as Gilmore very nearly scored (he scored, but ref wasn't on the goal line to see the plane get broken) on 4th down near the end of the 1st half, and the Raider defense tackled GAHS runners in the end zone at least twice, but forward progress was given.

I'm happy to see the two schools playing again, and hope that the seniors of the Class of 2016, will be able to look back in 19 years and remember their victory over GAHS!

Go Raiders!!!

[jottings]

Would appreciate scores of the 1992, 1993 and 2001 grid scores between GAHS and River Valley.

GO RAIDERS!!

Cole Carter might have averaged less than 4 yards a carry, but the ability and talent is there for him to really break free from time to time. I give Meigs credit for "containing" his ability last week, and i do believe RV will need to contain him this week if they want to win. Sipple is and will remain the backbone of the GA defense throughout the year. I look for GA to show signs of improvement this week. I am going to give GA the edge but not by much, 18-12 Final.

[gobigblue12]

Going to be a large crowd and a great game. This is a gsme thst will set tone for both teams rest of the way

Go blue

[SouthGallia#1 in bball]
