Ryle wins the Battle of Union.  Impressive Raiders, congrats!

 

Congrats to Ryle! Saw both these teams in scrimmage play and would not have picked Ryle to win.

I didn't pick Ryle to win and same. 

Congrats Ryle!

Tough win here. Nicely done!

I picked Ryle because they played competitive with Covington Catholic and if do that then pretty good. 

Congrats to Ryle!

Congrats to Ryle. Nine in a row wins over Cooper feels good. It was a game of alternating mistakes. Landon Lorms running down Jack Lonaker from a 10 yard deficit to keep him from a scoop and score was the play of the game. Both teams have impressive sophomores and juniors. Cooper will win most of their games this year. Huge crowd at Ryle.

Huge play for sure. But D line holding Cooper to 3 points out of two possessions inside 3yard line was momentum changing. Both teams very young and very talented. 

Congrats to Ryle on the win. Cooper was making mistakes, while Ryle was making the key plays to win. Cooper was up 10 to 7 entering the 4th and then Ryle made all the plays in the 4th to win it. 

Ryle defense impressive tonight or Cooper’s offense struggling?  

Both teams made plenty of key mistakes. They are both very young and talented. Both teams’  run defense was stout all night. I only remember a couple of long gainers on the ground including Logan Verax’s outstanding 47-yard keeper. I’m surprised Cooper doesn’t throw the ball to AA more. Entertaining game.

I thought Cooper was way overrated and hadn’t proved themselves yet.  Good win Ryle.

And that proved true tonight. Tough opponent for Cooper but lost by 3 scores.

Nice win Ryle, I am surprised and figured Cooper would win.

I remember a wise young man saying earlier this week: “If Ryle wins I think it is a combination of Ryle being better than "we" think and Cooper not being as good as "we" think.”

Good call. Both teams will continue to improve. Ryle has a tough schedule with Highlands, CAL, BYE, and St X during September.

The Raiders will be well prepared for district play.
