Riverdale Baptist

[TDHelmick]

This was just shared with me. Rock Creek Christian has folded. A good chunk of their top players (D1 offers) have transferred to Riverdale Baptist. That's the roll of the dice picking up private schools. Once again FH will play one of the toughest schedules in a 100 mile radius.

Just search Riverdale Baptist on Twitter X.

Olandis Gary, the former NFL running back, is their coach?

Looks like he went to Riverdale Baptist as well.

Spring practice has been underway at Riverdale Baptist. Not sure if playing this team is the right decision as they have drifted miles from public school regulation.

Any options contractually, seems the school has changed it's program some since the agreed contract.

Reading up on them, looks like they had a very good team last year and underrated. FH will be competitive with them,

Since it's just a one year deal go ahead and play them. But maybe be careful about how long starters play.
