WK 5 - OVAC - Columbus Crusader (3-1) @ (Hannibal) River (4-0)

[carbon_dated]

The Crusaders will be River's toughest opponent to date despite their record.
Don't let the home-school roster fool you. The Columbus team only lost to unbeaten D-5 Coshocton 20-14 on the road and has beaten two Indiana teams and Columbus Whetstone (a D-3 school).
River has an explosive offense but hasn't faced athletes of the Crusaders' caliber yet.
Why the Pilots would schedule this team baffles me. If they come out of this one injury free there's unbeaten Shadyside the following week.

what kind of team is the crusaders?

[redskinwitness]

Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure this team isn't ohsaa affiliated and even if they win they get nothing out of it.

Joeeitel has River's divisor 100 and not 90. I'm surprised EasternDspy isn't all over that

[formerfcfan]

It'll go down to 90 once the game is finished.

[EasternDspy]

Yea this game does not count towards playoff points and is pretty meaningless. I mean it could help them get better.I think they should of scheduled Fort Frye or Barnesville now that be a game. Guess will have to wait until playoff time.

Pretty sure they couldn't find an open date to match and that was about only option.
