martins ferry vs shadyside

[Gullas]

this thread will probably turn into a shadyside lovefest but any thoughts about the game . this should be a good one .

Put your quarter in the slot and pull the handle!!! Great week one matchup!! All the tangibles seem to fit . Skill is where the differences lie. Shadyside seems a little spread thin in that area!! The Tigers and Riders are always fundamentallly sound which makes this a good matchup but I think Riders may be just a notch ahead in overall skill and definitely have the QB experience factor!! Still it's the first game so I'll say this will be close until the fourth quarter when Riders pull away!!! Here hoping all players get through safe and sound!!

Ferry has little reason to get excited for this game but Shadyside will likely play out of their minds to get the win. Add in that its at Fleming Field, Riders... prepare to be agitated.

Tigers 21-16

With Coach Holloway back on the staff, I can’t imagine this one not getting out of hand

Tigers - 69
Grapes - 0

Believe the Shadyside/Martins Ferry game is the 'Game of the Week' on Channel 7 WTRF (think they posted that last night on tv)? Good game for WTRF 7 to air for the first game of the football season. Some will want to rewatch it...some will say, 'well...there is a lot of football left." smile *Don't forget...FOOTBALL PREVIEWS are in the news stands tomorrow, Tuesday, August 27th!

When is the last time Martins Ferry and Shadyside met on the football field? All-time series record? I’m assuming they haven’t played many games against one another and I’m sure the last game was decades ago.

The huge edge Ferry has is a four year starter at QB. The Tiger QB will be a soph With his first start at QB.

Huge edge? I have seen both QB's. I give the edge to the Tigers.

Ferry's QB last year in the playoffs vs Bellaire threw the ball like Brucie from The Longest Yard

I wasn't trying to bash the kid. Just feel Shadyside will be ready.

Me neither, Brucie had a ton of charisma.
