I am not here to bash any team or make predictions because anybody can beat anybody on a given night. What I think is trying to be pointed out is the Hannibal River is not going to do anything that Ready has not seen this year. Yes, Ready got beat soundly by CHCA, Hartley and Whitehall but what those teams do is expose you to athleticsm and speed at most all positions on the field. I am not saying anything negative about Hannibal River because when you go 9-0 you have to be a good team. With that being said Hannibal River does not put on the field the athletes that Hartley, CHCA and Whitehall does. When a team plays Hartley and CHCA you get exposed to teams that are playing at a higher level. Hartley and CHCA whole season is based on winning state championships not getting to playoffs and winning a game or 2. I am not going to say the Hannibal River will not win because they are good and you can not measure heart and determination that I am know the Pilots play with. Ready will be ready to play and will not be intimated by the Pilots. Hopefully it will be a great game.
I have said the whole time I think Ready will win by 12 or so. My point is Ready has played great teams yes but they also didn't beat any good teams. They were not even blowing out teams much worse then River so to say 49 point running clock is ridiculous to me.
