Playoffs #6 River @ #3 Grandview Heights

[EasternDspy]

River gets bumped by Newark Cath and will head to Columbus.

[J_Manziel2]

And will head back from Columbus shaking their heads...

[Bottoms Dweller]

Long bus ride home for River. Grandview rolls in this one.

[EasternDspy]

Yea I think River is the weakest team in and had weakest schedule. Lukas Islay is a boss ball carrier though.

River wanted Fort Frye because the Cadets are probably the 2nd weakest, but Fredericktown will do a number on them.
I'll give FF it's due, it did beat Caldwell and squeezed past Monroe Central. If River and FF win in week 11 i'll be surprised.

[EasternDspy]

Salty least Fort Frye beat 2 playoff teams go play Paden City

[EasternDspy]

Fredericktown barely beat Utica (3-7) and Clear Fork (3-7). Fort Frye D is pretty good but you have not seen them play and have continuously talked trash on them.

[Steely Dan]

Back to the subject at hand. Isn't this a River vs. GH thread? Why don't we stick to that?

I'm guessing this game will be close for about a quarter, and then Grandview pulls away, big. Long bus ride home for the Pilots, losing by at least three scores. Good luck to the Pilots.

Don't believe I've continuously talked trash on Ft Frye. I think you got the wrong person on that, bub.

SD, you think Pilots lose by 3 scores? Didn't Grandview and Monroe play a tight one last year?

[EasternDspy]

31-29 Grandview beat Monroe last year.

[Steely Dan]

Don't believe I've continuously talked trash on Ft Frye. I think you got the wrong person on that, bub.

SD, you think Pilots lose by 3 scores? Didn't Grandview and Monroe play a tight one last year?

CD - Last year, really? Man, that is one slippery slope that you just threw out there. Last year has absolutely no bearing or relevance on this year's teams and contests. Graduations, injuries, kids moving, kids deciding not to play. I see no correlation between what happened this year and last year, just to be honest.

I'll hang my hat on the outcome of Grandview's game last Friday night, beating DIII 8-1 Bexley 21-10 on their home turf. The only teams that I see on Grandview's schedule this year that River had a chance of beating were Berne Union and Grove City Christian. I'll stick with my 3 score prediction.

SD,
All I can say is I hope you're wrong, haha. Would like to see some of the locals stick around a few weeks in the playoffs.
The Grandview story from their final game I read about in the Dispatch. Good grief, they have Lachey's son on the line.
Maybe River can hang with them. I think the Pilots are stoked to be in the playoffs, but next 2 yrs. they're loaded.

[Steely Dan]

CD - I hope I'm wrong too, I'd love to see the only county team in the playoffs win, however, I am being realistic. Grandview has too many Joes and not many Jimmies.

[carbon_dated]

SD - I thought that was a Circosta line about the "jimmy's and joe's" LOL

River might need a couple turnovers to squeeze past Grandview. Could be the sleeper team in this region. Grandview that is.

[coop]

Grandview is NOT A sleeper in this Region. I know we in Lucasville have kept a close eye on them.

GH is a VERY good, complete team. I like them by 2 scores.

Heights 28
River 13

[formerfcfan]

Grandview is always good for sound, fundamental football!

[EasternDspy]

River Dbs better bring it.

[BlueDuck]

I think GH is too much for River in this one. They are really, really physical.

[RiverboatGambler]

Salty least Fort Frye beat 2 playoff teams go play Paden City

Or maybe Wirt or Waterford?

And why are you taking jabs at River schedule to someone that is not a River fan?

[EasternDspy]

Or maybe (8-2) Belpre, or (9-1) Caldwell nice try.
