There's been a lot of
change this year at Riverside camp, from personnel, to the playbook, But most importantly to the Warriors
attitudes.
"Last year's team
had too many egos on the team," Riverside senior tackle Cameron
Igo said. "Now, we're just starting together as one
team, one mind set. Just to come out here and work hard and make it to the
playoffs."
Playoffs? That's
right! The Riverside is talking about
playoffs. That's a place where the Warriors haven't been in five years.
"We've been really close
the last couple of years," Riverside Head Coach Ralph Hensley said. "So, we just need to work hard and get
over that hump."
But before even think about the postseason, Riverside needs to make
a decision on who will start at quarterback. Head Coach Ralph Hensley says
they've narrowed down the candidates to seniors Tyler Coleman and Trevor Runberg and
he'll make a decision soon.
"Those guys are
fighting for the job and they have to be the leaders for us on offense for us
to win a bunch of games," Hensley added.
Experience is key in
high school football and for the Warriors that's one thing the have. A total of
39 upperclassmen should give Riverside an edge over the
majority of the teams in the Kanawha Valley.
"I think we just
have to stick together and play our game," Riverside junior running back
Austin Simmons said. "[We} don't worry about anybody else, [we] just play
the way we play, and I think we can get there."
