Gametime: 7pm

Highlands will most likely be streaming it on their YouTube channel. I’m sure we will post the link later in the week.

Here are 2 teams that are needing to figure some things out.  Highlands after a tough road loss to Boyle. Can they get back to the form they looked like vs Cooper.

Ryle on the other side after 2 straight losses would love to get a must needed W!

Who you have?

GO BIRDS!!!!

I think Ryle wins a close one.

HHS 23

LRHS 19

Da Raiderrrrssss 

Highlands 21-19.

Just feeling that the Raiders are a little tougher at crunch time.  Savage is exceptional and Ryle seems to be adapting to having a strong RB2.

Tough one to pick.

I think the Raiders lost a couple more defensive starters against CAL. An injury bug bite for the Raiders this year. Everyone should be healed up and back for districts and playoffs. This is a coin flip game. Good luck to both teams for a great game.

Birds by at least a TD.

Good read for anyone interested in this game.

No way Ryle loses 3 in a row, right? I know they're banged up, any chance of getting their WR/DB(Lee?) or DE(Gay?)back this week?

 

Highlands by two TD's 

This is a big game for Ryle. As one of the things that helped out on their state run last year, was being ranked 2nd in the RPI heading into the playoffs, which helped them avoid the other top teams in 6A after they knocked off St. X in round two.

If Ryle loses this one, they will only have one really good high ranked win on their schedule this year and that was the win over CovCath. They should still have a good RPI, based on their schedule being tough. However, last year they had a few good wins on it, this year if they lose this one, they will only have one. As last year they had wins over CovCath, Highlands, and Cal on their resume to help get them ranked #2. 

I still think Ryle is probably a top 3 team in 6A when fully healthy, and can get back to the title game. However, their path of getting back to the State title game will be very tough compared to last year if they don't win this game. 

I will take the more disciplined team in Ryle to win this game.  Until Highlands gets things buttoned up I’m taking the other team in a coin flip game.
