I think your assessment is not fair to be honest. It’s not like Riordan is playing s cupcake schedule. Sure could they have scheduled the upper echelon of Folsom, DLS, or say a Bosco. Absolutely, however Mack, St Bons and Pitt is strong.
At the same time i believe they have made serious commitments to athletics the last few years. Football wise, yes the commitments are there, but they are ok the second tier which is just fine. Where the results need to come is basketball. This year is the year they need to win. It’s important for the program. The team is about as stacked as any program on the private school level hands down. I notice they’re not in the event this year at Dublin when hopefully they are in maybe the Les Schwab, Damien, Nike Extravaganza. The schedule is not online so who knows.
As for football if you think Riordan is going 1-6 in league, I hope you’re joking. And if anyone else feels that way it’s Serra then Riordan period.
Lastly one guy notes running isn’t flashy. Derek Loville took care of my bachelor party in Arizona. He has rings. The real rings. They have had a host of running backs as well over the years that have had good D1 guys. Hell Tyrone McGraw RIP was unreal. Jabari Jackson, and a few others. So running the ball when you have a QB like Mitchell and receiver in Lawson, doesn’t have to be flashy. But it will help them during the rest of the league outside of Serra.
As for Pitt, tough road game. Yes they could easily be 0-2, if they start the league 1-2, I think it shows how the WCAL just ain’t it this year on the big screen.
