Who do you think wins and why?

This game should be the game of the week.

I agree. Ryle is playing to clench the district and Conner is looking very strong.

This should be another good game. IMO Conner's defense is better than Cooper's but Cooper's offense is better than Conner's. One of the keys will be how much Conner can get Armahn Jackson on the field for offense. He was limited in offensive plays against SK largely due to the hurry up offense SK runs. He is a game breaker and the more they can have him on the field the better it is for Conner. I think Ryle wins this one but it will be another hard fought victory.

I'll be there Friday. It should be a great game and great atmosphere.

Conner RB 6'2 230 pound Armand Jackson will give Ryle fits. WR 6'3 190 pound Darrell Marshall, WR 6'1 180 Cody Buckler and WR 6'2 185 Matt Simpson along with QB Walker Buelow. Ryle has their hands full.

Ryle's Offense outplayed Cooper's on Friday. Cooper did a great job and a the best impression of the West Coast Offense that I have ever seen. Quick passes for 5-8 yards, then set up the longer pass, which was usually on TD's. The few big running plays were well blocked up front. Mostly killed Ryle through the air on the short passes. Ryle adjusted, but adjusted late. Clearly evident on the film. Conner has a lot of weapons on Offense, but Ryle has proven to have a bunch too. I think it will be close, but not as close as Cooper. Go Raiders : )

If Conner can stop the run, watch out. It seems Ryle has abandoned their passing game.

Where is this one?

Ryle has the premier QB in NKY and quite possibly the state. To abandon the passing game would be very foolish. Ryle seems at times to have difficulty getting their receivers open. They are not particularly big. Possibly it may be time to insert their taller DB's into the Offensive rotation. They are very capable receivers especially Cooper Scherer, Justin Selby, and Zach Rytlewski. This time of the year it's time to get your best on the field as much as possible. Tanner Morgan has an outstanding command of the game and the field situations. Hopefully he has the green light to check off at the line. Jake Chisholm and Cole Burch along with the Ryle line have been an unexpected pleasure this season. But make no mistake about who holds the glue together. The raiders are on a great run but they would not be there without the leadership of Tanner Morgan. Now more than ever it is time to exploit all the offensive weapons in the Raider arsenal. Should be a great game Friday, hope the weatherman cooperates.

I don't think the passing was abandoned. Just a Game Plan. Ryle was still 10-14 passing. with 1 TD. A second long TD wide open TD was dropped, would have been a 70+ yd TD. But you are right, 33 rush attempts vs 14 pass attempts. Usually the other way around for Ryle. I think it shows balance. Their two running backs can catch the ball too.

I can't disagree with anything here. Well said. Maybe one point. Chiz and Burch were not unexpected. Maybe from the opponents stand point. Too bad the word is getting out. Nice to have those two as a surprise.

Running the ball in that game was the right call. You have to control the clock. The Cooper/Ryle rivalry will always be a great rivalry and the toughest game of the year.

This will be a great game. I think Conner has a chance to win it. However I think Ryle pulls this one out by a touchdown. Ryle impressed me with their fight and the way they handled Cooper's line. They beat Cooper in the trenches. I think Conner's line is better up front and they will not give up the huge running plays. My concern is if Conner's secondary meet the challenge if Ryle puts the game in Morgan's hands and let him sling the ball.

It seemed like Cooper was dropping 8 defense players until late in the game so Ryle had no choice but to run the ball. That chisolm is a STUD and his backup was pretty good as well. Conner defense is better than Cooper but I still don't see them being able to stop the Ryle offense.
