This was truly a great game. Indian River is full of Upper Classmen, transfers. Likely the best players from other teams in the Southeastern District vs the up & coming Tiger underclassmen that Coach Morgan has proclaimed to be a better defense than last year's team!
The Tiger fan's, like me, never gave up on this team today. Coach Morgan has these kids believing in his team concept and this game could be a stepping stone to another district Championship. With Western Branch, Great Bridge, King's Fork, and Grassfield still left on their schedule, there are no guarantees. But, Indian River may have been the best team they'll face until the play-offs.
As a fan of High School Football, games like today are far more entertaining and fun to watch. I hope the area top teams get to play each other more. The Northern Region schools are opening their schedules more to other districts this season. Hopefully, the Beach and Peninsula District Schools will choose to do the same. Heck, even getting some games with Richmond Schools would be fun. The travel for the teams might not be, but some of those teams will likely host some playoff games in the near future anyway.
