Riordan-SHC Stanfel Cup Game
- Thread starter ArmchairGOAT
- Start date
I was there, first game I've been to in a couple years. I was shocked on how talented Riordan was at their skill positions. Very fast and explosive. And big #42(Kefu) is a beast on both sides of the ball. 3 long deep TD passes to 3 different WR's as well. I was really impressed 👏
That’s great to hear. SHC was playing really well after wins vs SI and the Bells - and the Bells won decisively vs Riordan. I know they were banged up @ qb the past few weeks and the offense was struggling. The defense had been pretty solid but spent a lot of time on the field as a result of the offense.

So what you are basically saying SHC got a pass on the Bells based on there offense situation? Confused?
I still think a win over SI gets Riordan Into CCS Playoffs.But honestly, I have to refer to the PAL expert poster orARHS stats to sort out???
Honestly would love to see SHC in playoff with game at Riordan😳😊
No I did not say that. Simply put, SHC beat Bellarmine in San Jose. Riordan lost decisively with their lone score coming with the Bells 2nd string in the second half. Riordan's starting qb didn't finish the game due to an injury. The Crusaders were shut out vs. St. Francis though the D held tough, but the offense just couldn't get a score. The Serra game was the same. Both SF and Serra benefited by pick 6 tds when the game was still close.
SHC came into the game giving St. Francis all it could handle and handed SI a tough loss. SI is a team that has done well against Modeste teams the past few seasons. And that win against Bellarmine coming into yesterday's game gave them 2 straight with talk that the Irish's strong non-league helped them in league. That Irish Defense had a lot to do with it along with some great play calling for scores against the Bells.
That's why it was great to see the Crusaders putting up a 48 pt spot with its backup qb and opening up their offense and leveraging their speedy WRs and RBs. The game stats were impressive - 305 passing yards + 5 TDs and 233 rushing yards and 2 TDs! Always good to see a team improving as the season wears on. Winning solves everything - If Riordan beats SI next week, they should be a lock for CCS post season.

Weird game definitely. Given how each of their seasons have unfolded up to when SH went up 14-0 you figure this one was just a formality. Someone lit a fire under the Riordan players' butts and I cant really explain the outcome.
Fires lighten in butts is commonly done with a 14 point deficient, But that was too obvious to motivate, so I guess it had to be something else? It sounds like from your post, a win over SI, would place in CCS playoffs….should SI go up by 14 points too😳😊
If we are all in agreement if Riordan beats SI they are lock in CCS playoffs…where does that place SI or SHC…it’s always an advantage to have another WCAL program clear the deck for a run to a CCS Championship 😳😊🏅👏👏👏
Wow, lots of big plays for Riordan! Where was this offense the rest of the season?
Ah, I see the explanation after those highlights. Irish big play bug returned. Riordan took advantage of single coverage on the outside because the safeties had to creep up to help with threat of the run from battering ram #42.
Also factor long historical feelings that Riordan hates losing to lowly SH more than love winning any other league game. They will not shy from running it up against the Irish.
Huh? Last 3 Riordan scoring plays were running plays made by a 300lb fullback looking to wind down the clock with said 2 safeties playing up in the box. One was called back.

I would classify that as punishment. Who would want to tackle that guy? Cant go high on him. Cant go low on those tree trunks.
"Lowly"? You mean like SHC winning 38-0 in 2018, 20-0 in 2020, 33-7 in 2016 and 55-6 in 2010?
You should ask Sr. Francis about the words that come out of the mouths from the Riordan coaches in the press box during SH/Riordan games. Talk about wanting to see the other team reduced to nothing. Beating your chest in front of a nun? Seriously?
They're called Rivalry games for a reason...lol. At the end of the day I know my SHC/R/SI buddies all get along.
I agree CityFan, the Cable Car connection runs strong in SF and outlying communities to where many Cable Car grads have moved.
But speaking of Nuns and their innocence??🤪🤪 I remember after a Stanfel Cup game played at Kezar. SHC happened to get a rare win of trophy that year and SHC players ran across field to snatch cup prior to Stanfel family presentation…Seriously😳
But back to speaking of Nuns, I remember an Assist Coach and SHC Nun in the middle of fight that broke out because of SHC’s FB players later mentioned actions. It was a Nun and an Assist Coach on premise of breaking up fight…threw some on point Horse Collar tackles and Face Mask pulls on Riordan players….Seriously😳
If it was the same Nun…she is one Tough Bird, I am sorry, IamgearyBlvd isn’t made of the same backbone SHC Nuns have…🙏🙏🙏
I did hear that a party was throw by SI family for ARHS/SI/SHC players that night in Forrest Hills….
