Raiders with the upset!

 

[falcons53]

This is both a scary and exciting game. This is why you play football. The opportunity to play in games like this.

Good luck Falcons!!

It's tough to beat a good team twice...

Biggest one in quite a while, unfortunately it's taking place during this nonconventional season, but it's all the same to the kids and that's what's most important.

I'm with ya on the "scary". Mentioned a couple weeks ago that if this game happened, it concerned me. Time will tell.

GO Falcons!

True, but it can happen. Back in 92 the Falcons beat St. Ed twice during the regular season. Odd for sure but it happened.

Absolutely

My main concern is being able to get in to watch it. Since the game is not at Harding it won't be streamed live on their youtube channel.

It’s going to be the wkbn game of the week

Are you sure? They already did this game during the regular season

 

[AtownFalcon201]

Definitely felt like Harding was the slightly better team in Week 4 and could’ve won. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Harding win the 2nd matchup.

 

[SteelValley]

Good luck to both. I have a feeling Harding wins this one but think it will be a close one either way.

They all but confirmed it during the highlights last night.

Awesome!

Would be sweet.

Game to me comes down to the little adjustments the coaches make. Teams are very similar in terms of skill to me

This is the type of "big game" the Youngstown area needs to get back some excitement in high school football again.

 

[Joe Bernastat]

R.I.O.

This reminds me of the 1990 season when Harding beat us, and it was a close game that we should have won. They basically had a couple of big plays. Then in the rematch to get to the semis, they stuck it to us after we had beaten Ignatius. They then went on to win the state championship. It would be nice to follow that road.

You got that right. Sure would be nice!

My official game preview is now available for view at the following link.

It includes an 11-minute “hype video” with 30 years worth of Harding plays in the rivalry.

Week 9- Warren G. Harding (5-3) @ Austintown Fitch (7-0) w/ Hype Video

If you've followed Warren G. Harding football this year, you seen and heard plenty from senior quarterback Elijah Taylor. His 108 passing yards and two total touchdowns this past Friday against Maple Heights might not seem like much of a big deal for a player with his resume, but that...

I remember a lot of those highlights. I really remember the kickoff return where Harding huddled in the middle of the field and ran it back. I think it made America's Funniest Home Videos.

With the stuff that they show on “America’s Funniest Home Videos” now, I’m sure I could send something in and win. ?

Great video Worm--thanks for the walk down memory lane

 

[Scipio]

Good Luck Raiders!
Run It Over!

Glad I will get to watch again from Texas. Hopefully I am happy after again!
