Riordan 26 MA 9 Final.
- Thread starter jordan24
- Start date
Sanders if injured & out is not good news for Riordan - did he really need to be playing late in a game already decided?
Reason I asked is Serra's important starter's were pulled late 2nd quarter - its called "preserving you assets util needed".
Hope Raymone is OK...

Sloppy game. Riordan came out flat and had key penalties throughout wiping out at least 4 first downs. Luavasa was off missing a few receivers.Defense pretty solid with close to 10 sacks and several tackles deep in MA backfield. Riordan penalties and lapses in the pass D sustained MA drives. Don't think any team will kick to Verba Hamilton the rest of season

Greene was hurt the majority of last year. He is more than a good option if Sanders is out for a period of time.
Interesting choice in going for 2. I thought their kicker is decent? Cant just give away points in close games. Its not the NFL where extra points are 33yrds. Unless the kicker is hurt, that logic doesnt make sense. Regardless, before some get the wrong idea, I'm not complaining about the W. Another W for the boys on Phelan against a non AAA or City team shouldnt be taken for granted even if M-A is down. They could have flopped all together and gotten upset. Fordon should retire now with an unblemished record LOL

Yes. The kicker returns from last season and he was solid. Although, you'd never know it as his only PAT attempt last night was woefully off. He's got a strong leg as his kickoffs are deep and about half of them go into the endzone. They were 1 of 3 last night on two point conversions. Could be they want to run as many as possible as it may be needed come WCAL.
M-A was pretty fired up as this was their first home game and had a very nice turnout supporting them. The mood of the Riordan sideline after the game appeared as if hey had lost. They knew if this was a league game, this would have been a sure loss. Offense appeared to show a few new wrinkles and appeared to be different plays they ran against SHP. Sanders was used exclusively throughout with Caston and Greene in the backfield seldom in the first half and a bit more in the second half. Luavasa didn't have his best game passing, but did move the chains. Penalties killed them. Nice to see the backup qb get some reps late in the game. Crusader D bent but did not break for most of the game. O/D line play remained strong following last week's game giving the Crusader linebackers (Ilalio, Caston and Russell) the opportunity to blow up plays deep in Bear backfield and coming away with multiple sacks. Will be interesting what Fordon will do to the running game. They have plenty of big fb-type rbs in Caston, Greene and the soph, Lasa Tofi. Josh Boone is a speedster that can also be added in mix. Greene looks really good this season after being injured the past two seasons. He runs downhill and has some nice moves and acceleration. Could be his opportunity to shine this year. Lots of works to be done and Crusaders know it. In seasons past, they would be celebrating a AAA win (lol!), but last night felt like a loss.

A win is a win...even a sloppy one. Hopefully Sanders is not hurt (you hate to see a kid get hurt) and the Crusaders can continue to find a way to win. Also, QB Luravasas took a nasty hit out of bounds and had ice on his non throwing shoulder. Their offense is based on speed and timing and with the limited practice schedule will be hard to get back up QB up to game speed. Hope for the best and a test next week at SMB.... 3 - 0?
What do you have against Riordan? Your petty and quite frankly weird obsession with Coach Fordon's innocuous comments after the win against SHP and now this is very telling. You must have something against him or the school. That disaster of a team looks to be much improved and turned around in a matter of months and us fans of City HS football are glad it happened. We were tired of watching crappy boring HS football year in and year out in SF.
SHC and Riordan were both of those things and at least Riordan isn't any longer. SI, although boring, definitely does not suck. Give it a rest.
