BTW. I liked how your son carried himself after the tough loss last night. Kept his head up.
That's easy, SI. They can't even recognize or utilize the talent they have on campus now.
If I respected your opinion, I might be offended. All you need to do is go back to your post earlier today.
I do like how Riordan has opened up the lower tier for student section. Although, I am curious if it will last beyond this year. Bringing in the women will change what and what cannot be said in public.
Agreed, I just dont think they knew how to be a raucous crowd...at times they seemed bored LOL And it will change should the team falter next year and not every underclassman come back. Many things can change like xfers etc...
Why do you say that? Riordan has 3 sophs and 2 juniors on the team. Frosh A’s and B’s clinched WCAL titles. The Frosh A’s remain undefeated for the season and the B’s only have 2 losses. The JVs have struggled. Missing a 7-1 Center and two sharpshooting guards will do that.
Cheer, look at their cell phone, mug it for the local video guys, cheer, look at their cell phones, repeat.
To your point. There has been only one game where someone else other than Monroe or Clark was the leading scorer. That was Robert V against Valley Christian. 22 games played. Bryce missed 4 games due to injury. He has been the leading scorer in 15 of the 22 games, Jelani 6 games in which he lead . We are who we are at 18-4.
With a game so close at the end, why wasn’t Mor and Rob in for Riordan? 7-1 Height and a 6-7 kid that weighs more than Riiny and Chan combined and is a better offensive threat down low would have made a difference.
Also, 6'5" Ryan Daly down at St. Francis. Lancers starting forward and football QB.
Its a nice start. Just hope they can maintain it. Its a nice idea, way overdo, as just having the band (which is great), act like your cheering section, doesnt do it. It's nice to see the 20 kids that were there, wheres the rest of the student body? Riordan basketball most definitive is the flavor of the month in City basketball. I agree with you, they have piece in place to stay competitive. Now with the ladies coming on board, will you see a "softening" of the vigor. It was definitive lost when SI and SH went co-ed. (ie. watching your ps and qs).
"...wheres the rest of the student body? " Well at least 100 students make up the band...
I got to say it would t shock me. Reading some of this made me think this AM that Prolific might just make a move in this kid. Guys that tall don’t come around often.
Cheering section. Not kids that its mandatory to attend. Maybe, Im harkering back to the days with City Riordan kids with cowbells, and a bit of beer on their breathe doing a rah, rah, chee, chee, cha, cha cha cheer. Old alums would know. Just like the SH fans would remember the SH beer song or the SI Budweiser song. Shall I regress.
Hollllllllllld on. With all due respect, We are talking about Riordan's 7 footer? GRANTED they do not run plays through, nor should they at this point og the youngster's career, but some of you are acting like hes the second coming. Prolific? AM? He still needs to develop and yes, I know maybe their coaching staffs can do that, but were all just speculating when you say he can just go there and start, and not only start but dominate. I would tamp down those expectations. Hes a nice piece but not a foundational piece....YET. He does work hard from what I can tell with his work with Tofi.
Got it. I'm just happy to see any City kid attend their school's basketball games that is not named Bruce/Mahoney. I was part of those cheering sections chanting the "I'm a Rabbit..."cheer in the late 70s/early 80s and witnessed epic games at Kezar and USF. Saw coaches' Phillips, Drucker and Isola going head to head. Also saw players like Tony Welch, Jeff Thilgen, Paul Fortier, Brett Crawford, Alex Lopez, Eric White, etc.
I knew you got it. I'm happy to see Riordan making an effort keep it up. More so than SH and SI.
The Riordan Bunnies will shock the world...lol
