Getting back to the game..... is this a rivalry or what? I hear different things. This was a BEATING by the way.... I hope the Ryle fans arent taking this too kindly. 37 pt victory for the Rebels......

 

What different things do you hear?

Ryle has a nice group of freshmen. They had about 40 kids tryout. The freshmen group from Gray went something like 73 wins and 9 losses over 3 years in middle school. They have about 4-5 kids from RA Jones that had a good year last year as well. I like Mullins and believe he will do good things for Ryle in the future. I believe this year may be tough though.

 

Agreed. Boone also has a solid freshman class. One starts varsity, and a couple others start JV and have seen varsity minutes in both games. Two others also play JV. Boone has the top 2 players from RA Jones team last year. Boone's freshmen from Ockerman had a very similar record to Ryle over the three years. Mullins is a good guy. Both schools should have good teams the next few years and have some good games. Ryle losing 6'6" freshman Griffin McKenzie to Moeller hurts that class some, though.

:confused:

Let me put this in context... I didnt hear anything specifically from anyone. Just from following the games they play in Football/Basketball... they never seem to be built up like a Highlands/CovCath or Beechwood/NCC or SimonKenton/Scott...... my main point was to say....how does Ryle feel about the thumpin they took from their neighbors.

They both have excellent teams. There will be major battles for the next four years between those kids. Wouldn't surprise me to see McKenzie back. The freshmen class still has plenty of good big men.

Aint nobody happy about it. I'm sure when they play again Feb 5th it will be a much closer game.

 

As for the rivalry, I believe it is huge among the students and parents. Ryle doesn't have a strong tradition as a school yet. They have only been open 14yrs. They don't have that community support yet like an older community would. This area has grown so fast with people who moved here from other places. Many people don't become a part of the Raider Nation until they have kids that go to school there.

That makes sense...you seem to have most of the good info on Ryle... keep it up.
