Riordan vs. SHP
- Thread starter colhenrylives
- Start date
Riordan with a new coach and lots of recruits (or what ever we call them at the HS level) is very interesting at all levels.
Executing on both sides of the ball much easier when you have an OL/DL like that. SHP lost a lot from graduation as well. Should be running clock in 2nd half.
Looking like the WCAL just got a whole lot more interesting.
same coach as last year just a whole bunch of big kids and natural talent
I have never seen a Riordan team this talented, instinctive, rehearsed, and focused in my generation of being associated with Riordan.

Who are you giving notice to? Most fans I know would like to see Riordan get out of the basement. Do you think they are better than their 2015 season? They were rated at 42 by Calpreps that year.
And before Calpreps, some WCAL historians have cited 1971 and 1972 as even better seasons in Riordan history. Are you able to compare with those years?

That 2000 WCAL Title team and 2007 CCS D3 Team were pretty good. They had a few playmakers on both those teams including ex-NFL player Eric Wright on the 2000 team. Serra's current OC, Bell, was the QB on that 2007 team and teamed up with Daniel Cannon when they made their CCS run.
All those campaigns were short-lived mainly because, I believe, was the continued decline in enrollment, transitioning to a lay teaching staff when the Marianists moved out hence struggling to remain afloat. The past decade has had fits and starts, but all indications (fastest growing enrollment, move to coed , a competent administration, increase in fund raising and the successful International boarding program) that Riordan is finally on a strong and sustainable track for the school and overall athletic program.
Friday was a nice start. Pieces are there as the team works to get better every week. Looking forward to see how the season goes.
Oh, interesting - I didn't realize Serra's OC was the same Bell as AR's 2007 QB. I remember his play at Riordan.
His brother Khalil was a great back at MC and played at UCLA and NFL
you mean in football, boys hoops and wrestling. i dont see it happening for any of the other sports. maybe girls hoops but thats a big maybe.
Girls sports and other sports are on an upward track. Just getting started.
I can see the girls hoops team making noise in D3 NorCals. I think they will win and lose enough to get into CCS in D2 or D3 and get a seed in NorCals.
It appears that notice was given it was apparently received.,.
Can’t wait to see who will be the “Kings of Kezar” step #1

Any thoughts on the comparative strength of this year's AR season?
I seriously think Riordan’s sights are set significantly higher. It’s always good to wear that crown for City bragging rights though .
Compared to what? SHP lost a lot to graduation in their skill players. Moreau struggled against St. Mary’s. St. Bonaventure will be a good test
I completely agree, but with every destiny there needs to be first steps.
@KingsOfKezar is my IN Season predication and my personal mantra from back in the day when it meant something
Stay connected to board and see my future post. Notice has been given, posted and also recieved…speaking of back in the day, this is the “Next Episode”; Lol

It's in this thread - compared to AR previous years of strength...
Hard to say at this point. Non-league gives the team time to gel with the real test coming in St. Bonaventure and then the start of league play.
Not to worry. The WCAL, overall, is not the reincarnation of the Trinity League. Not even close. Riordan should be highly competitive in the WCAL 2023. Then, in 2024, look out.
You never know these days with the normalize movement of kids/families to whomever is dropping the right amount of bags on their doorsteps. These athlete students' (not student athletes) services are not free anymore.
You are starting to sound like Skip Bayless with your Implicit Bias bag dropping statements…
You are a SF faith based school alumni…ain’t no bag dropping.
C’Mon Man…..You can’t stand the best athletes want to come to Riordan
