The gap between the two teams is less than last year. I understand that both teams will be missing some starters so injuries are not relevant. One big difference this year is that the Raiders won't be starting drives from the 20. Both teams lost great PK's and kickoff coverage will be important. Lookin' forward to a surprising battle at the Fort on Friday night. Turnovers will be big. I will be surprised if the game is outside a 14-point margin as most posters have predicted and will continue to predict. HHS is the favorite for sure and deservedly so. I'll be sure to make the trip to support the Raiders! We're all glad that the season opener is finally here!

I've seen both and I disagree. IMO, this game will be similar to last year.

 

I could be wrong though, again...

Highlands by 17-24.

And again!!!!!

Finally found some old pictures from 1979. Here is the 1979 Senior Picture. I do have some Belfry pictures to share from that year as well.

Should be a good game. Ryle has a lot to prove and with the Bird's being disoriented with the lost of one of the best backs in the state, IMO I think the Bird's will be down. But, in saying that the Bluebirds will still win. H-27 R-13

I need about 5 or 6 more predictions so I know how many cannon shots to make up. Or we can go with the normal Baker's dozen!!!!!:ylsuper:

As much as I would like to see the Raiders topple the colossus, I just don't see it happening.

Did the Bluebirds win state that year? And who was some of the great players in the picture?

I see the score in the 49-7 range.

WOW not much respect for the Ryle Team, I think it will be closer than people think. JD

To the HHS fans - what time would one want to get up to the field in order not to have to park 3 miles from the school?

Leave now and you've got a shot.

Who's the little short guy in the middle?

I think the score will be closer than most think....Highlands 33 Ryle 24

I have the same feeling.
