Congrats Raiders!!

Notice.. that's why I put "Just kidding.. all schools have their years."
I know Paulding has made it to the Playoffs as well as East.
I give them credit.


Its just that East is my school.. ya know?
And it's all a little rivalry game.. it's football..
Sorry for offending anyone.

Congrulations EPHS that was a very close game..

I have sat through many a game at various stadiums where EPHS was handed their butts on a silver platter when there was plenty of talent and zero coaching going on! We were always good sports about it .

EPHS fans need to remember where our school came from and the odds they have beaten in the last few years. Above all, they need to learn to be sportmen in defeat and humble in victory. I foresee the parents and players not being able to handle defeat when it comes a knocking and being totally blown out of the water by it.... eventually defeat will come so they need to be humble right now while they are winning! Just the opinion of a parent who had 2 athletes ( one of which lettered in 5 sports and the other that received a scholarship and had 3 varsity letters by the end of his Frosh. yr.) graduate from EPHS. Be humble!!

[Animal]

EPHS has had it's defeats and handled them well. See the trouble is this,people are very jealous. There haitin on the raiders because of there jealousy.They came from a history of defeat and were use to that outcome. Now the tide has changed,Rome was the school that was ranked #5 in the state. I believe we beat them twice,no word from the news about that. I think no matter what the raiders do it will not settle why is that?? The whole student body parents and friends are behind this team.

This season will be a tough one no doubt about it,when the dust clears we will be there. Last night I watched just a small portion of the game. They looked good very tight and they have a good team so did Rome.It was close but the Raiders won,now for the rest of you why don't you come on out to the bone yard and be part of the Raider Nation. You will feel the excitement in the air

The jokes get old after a while. Thats all PCHS hears is negative comments.

[TITAN Graphix]

Great Job Raiders!

[telracs eracniks]

It was a really good game to watch, all the way down to the end!
Met some very nice p.commers sitting around us too!
It took its tole on my feet...we had to park across and down the street from the school. Between that and the stairs, I'm off my feet today. I may not be able to go to another one though...pretty painful this morning.

I sold them to you

[freckles0307]

Erghh.. this place is very frustrating..
I'm just not gonna say anything else.
I gave Paulding their credit too.

I was underwhelmed with the Raider Brigade last night. I thought last years program was much better. Song selection and choreography is what I'm talking about. The kids played great.

I also noticed they did not play very much during the game. Last year they played alot more and it worked to help pump the crowd. Perhaps they'll do more next game.

How do you know?

I worked that booth from 6:15- 3rd quarter,

[The Griz]

The call the refs made to give Rome their touchdown was very questionable. It look to me like a pretty typical screen pass. It was rulled a lateral and they gave Rome the touchdown. On the other hand, you don't stop until the whistle sounds. There were quite a few penalties on the EP side of the ball but that will improve. The boys played their hearts out. Rome doesn't seem to have much of a passing game but they have some very tallented running backs.

My daughter is in the band and yes they all feel this year's program is not up to the level of last year. However, with that being said they still haven't completed their show. I am sure there will be adjustments along the way. They have less in number this year but they still have a great sound. I probably sound like an old man but I can do without the props. But, props are what help to win competitons now.

Last year's program was so full of energy. A very high bar to reach this year.

Go Raider football and Raider Brigade!!

My husband was on the chain crew, he said it was not a lateral. In fact the rome guys commentating on the game said it was an incomplete pass, not a lateral.

I think they will play more at the rest of the games. The first game is always so hot, still daylight for a good part of the game & those uniforms are very hot. As for the show it takes a long time to put a show together & now they have two weeks until the next game to finish it and polish it.

Actually, not 'all' band members feel that way. How about a little bit of support and enthusiasm for the kids?!
BTW, sorry you're not so keen on the props, but my husband, the director and president spent 2 days (in 95 degree heat) building them, so I'd rather see some appreciation instead of bashing.
Good luck Raider Brigade and Raider football!

Nothing but enthusiasm and support for the kids.

Perhaps you should work on your reading comprehension. If you'll reread the post it was said they played great. If you'll reread the posts you'll see that no one bashed anyone, it was just said that it was thought that last years program was hard to top, and that they did not play as much during the game as they did last year. And, that he wasn't too keen on props. How is that bashing?

A tad over sensitive aren't we?

I think they will play more at the rest of the games. The first game is always so hot, still daylight for a good part of the game & those uniforms are very hot. As for the show it takes a long time to put a show together & now they have two weeks until the next game to finish it and polish it.

I'm sure they'll be fine. They were great last year and they'll certainly be as good this year.

I guess if this is the enthusiasm and support you exhibit for the band, I'd hate to see your criticism.
To each his own re: the props, but like I said, a lot of work went into them.
My reading comprehension is just fine.

I didn't get to pay attention to the band Friday, but I know they are working hard. I always enjoy the Raider Brigade. Last year at the Parade they were the they blew everybody away. Keep working hard!!!

[Luv2walk]

Our kids have not learned their entire show yet. Our Freshman are conquering not only learning how to march, but memorizing music too, they have to learn not only the marching music, but the stand music as well.

We are all looking forward to a great year this year. If you noticed, Rome did not do an entire show either. It always takes a few weeks to learn everything and then they will start fine tuning it.
