Better luck next time.
These may not be "last year's Gaels" but Riordan is horrible! Don't let their record fool you. One win was a forfeit, another just plain luck and the CCS Medium division was weak.
In their pass-happy offense, it seemed nobody ever heard of a blitz. With their "skill" players gone, and a less than impressive bunch moving up to the varsity, not to mention the fact that Bishop Gorman has two games under its belt, this will be at least a 30-point rout.
Also, it's expected to be a hot day in San Francisco, so the Gaels should feel at home with the heat. My prediction is 36-6 Gaels.
At the Bishop Gorman vs. Riordan game, I didn't see last year's team but in this game, they were certainly the better but not overwhelmingly dominant team I had hoped to see. Still, the Gaels won 13-0, scoring on a safety, a 32-yard field goal and a TD with a 2-point conversion. The defense was clearly better than Riordan and that was the difference. Both teams had turnovers that contributed to the low-scoring. About fifty BG fans were in attendance. The temperature was around 78 degrees today (a heatwave in San Francisco). Hope you all had fun here.
