Mountain Ridge at Frederick

H
I think 2 things can be true at the same time with Paterson “retiring” and shipe taking over. I agree 100% with Paterson stepping away to become a new father again. Good for him and I wish him the best for his family but I do think ridge will take big step back over the next few years and I do think Paterson knew that was going to happen. The mountain ridge JV team hasn’t been very good the last few years and I believe they didn’t win a game last year and the games against area JV teams weren’t really close. It may be a rough few couple years for ridge but I’d say Paterson will be back under the headset within 5 years.

Patterson left for whatever reason he wants to say. But know that the QB pipeline ran dry and he left. Coincidence??? Plus the line ??? Easy to speculate but no wants to say it

Coach Patterson has been involved in the Beall/Mountain Ridge program for over 20 years. He waited in line behind DeVore because the MR program was his to run when Roy left.

I can certainly understand the viewpoint of losing some talent and it coinciding with his decision to leave the program.

Let’s not put the cart before the horse here. Mountain Ridge will likely finish 5-4 or 6-3 this year. They have been decimated by injuries to key players this year, including their starting quarterback. You can’t go undefeated or have 1 loss every season. The MR program isn’t all the sudden in the dumps. Coach Patterson left for a very valid reason. Being a newly minted parent of my first child recently myself, I can certainly understand his decision. I applaud him for putting his family first. He also put his football family first for many years, and continued to do so in making this decision.

FH vs Hollidaysburg, my thoughts

People can say what they want. It doesn’t matter. Fort hill wins a state title this year and whatever year they decide to field a team. The 1A bracket is so sad. You can’t blame the kids or the coaches for what is for what is front of them but it is what it is. Congrats on another title. No one else in 1A is within 35 of Dunbar. I wish the kids could get the respect they deserve but the state sought otherwise.

I’m tired of hearing that football is so bad in 1a. Is it so bad in baseball? , Because we can’t win a title. Is it so bad in basketball? We can’t win a title there either. How about the other sports that we can’t win titles in.

Has anyone even noticed that the JV team has lost to Mountain Ridge 3 of the last 4 years.

The JV team just lost to Musselman. I looked at Musselmans roster and they have more sophomores on the varsity roster than FH does

FH beat the pants off of Oakdale during the years that they were title contenders in 3a

FH wins at football because of the coaches and tradition.

We should be celebrating it instead of minimizing it!

This discussion has now engulfed Cumberland 😂
Not so much over the actual topic of stadium lights, but more about principles and what the system is teaching children.

Seriously, you can't celebrate with flickering lights because it creates tension? I'm working on getting to the bottom of this story. Not fully clear on the details. Stay tuned.

I wholeheartedly agree Beall. I love the resiliency of this Miner team. As bad as we think they have played, they are still 3-1, and were in the game until the very end against a much bigger Frederick team. The next two weeks at home are going to be tough. I see them losing both, (probably by running clock to Big Red). Northern always plays tough for a school their size, but I have Ridge pulling that game out, along with the last two games to finish 6-3. Still love the Ridge no matter what, we have been kind of spoiled the last couple of years. 🤣🤣🤣

The only issue that I see with a 6-3 finish is the game against Northern. The Huskies have always played Beall/Mountain Ridge very tough. They are a very physical team and Mountain Ridge has struggled with teams like that so far this year.

I can't tell you how happy it is to be a Mountain Ridge Miner football fan right now. Coach Patterson (and I am sure a few others) did such an amazing job bringing this program out of the toilet. I have nothing but respect for Coach DeVore and what he did at Beall and Mountain Ridge. Sometimes you just need a change. I have the utmost respect for him in knowing that it was time.

We are now entering the fourth full season of football for most programs since Covid had the abrupt halt to most high school athletics. Games in Maryland are much more competitive in 2024 than they have been the past three years. Let's face it, Mountain Ridge wasn't going to be in the State Championship every year forever. I do believe that the program that Coach P built has the ability to be sustainable, maybe not to the level of the past three years, but to a pretty high level, nonetheless.

I didn’t feel like Hollidaysburg would win 1 game out of 10. FH had 2 touchdown runs called back. Both were in the 2nd half. On the first touchdown run called back. The hold was well after the running back was passed the play.. The second holding call was clearly a great block by number 25. Check it out around the seven minute mark in the third quarter. FH clearly let off the gas when they were up 20-0 towards the end of the 3rd quarter.
We are so blessed to have this coaching staff.
