Riverview (4-1) is coming off of a 40-37 victory over Huron while Flat Rock (0-5) fell at home to Jefferson by a score of 48-13. The Rams won last seasons game 38-3 but have only defeated the Pirates four times since Riverview entered the league in the fall of 1980.
Riverview’s offense has been impressive and while the RB’s seem to get most of the credit juniors Drew Kroll and Nolan Glime have become a nice QB/WR combination. The defense has still struggled against good offenses but the Pirates still only have one loss.
Flat Rock continues to struggle this season but is still playing hard. The Rams will attempt to shake off the injury bug and try to pull off the upset.
Flat Rock’s first victory in the league series was back in 1983 when the writer of this blog was a skinny kid wearing #12. The wins have been few and far between for the Rams since then. Pick: Riverview 35 Flat Rock 12

I go to Flat Rock High School and I can tell you right now there isn't much talent coming up. I used to play in Middle School, and I can tell you right now, we were poorly coached. Our coaches were afraid to run hitting drills due to fear injury. That can explain the horrible tackling. I have a friend on the team and he says they don't do much hitting.
For some reason we are always the smallest in terms of size. We do have a decent arsenal of big kids at our school, but none of them play because they don't want to go through the losing. It is really sad when you have a 5 foot 5 140lb Junior on the D-Line. That is embarrassing.
Also, please stop criticizing Oestrike. He has nothing to work with. Ratcliffe can't win games by himself he needs 10 other guys to help out.
He was thrown out of the game after the game.
Coach O in FR is building that team. 3-4 years he will have them making the playoffs year in and year out. He has a plan in place and is growing it from the lower grades up. The big thing is that the kids there respect him unlike Pernicky. Kids want to play for coach O.
They did? Please enlighten me to as how they did that three times?
He wouldn't have got ejected had the officials not try to give the game to Huron 3 times.
He was ejected at the end of the game last week.
I'm sorry, I'm out of the loop. Why is Stergalas not on the sidelines this week?
Maybe he should go to an anger management seminar or something.
Stergalas sitting out FR game: You just gave him more time to prepare for SMCC.....
I'll save him the trouble. They are going to run the ball a lot
Yea, I think this debate is getting a little silly. Every offense has produced championships. Of course Bellicheck has had the best QB in the game and Saban has the best recruiting class year in and year out. Your point is noted though.
I believe the original point by someone was was that FR should go back to something more "conventional" so they can hide their lack of talent. Obviously I am paraphrasing. My counterpoint was the spread should allow FR's players to get some space and force teams to adjust a little.
I picked FR last, the coaches in the free press picked FR last. They didn't know what FR was running this year. The end result doesn't change no matter what they run. At least by spreading it the talented players are arguably being put in a better position succeed.
