#Gameday Rocks vs Raiders

Tonight, your Rocks will host the Raiders from William Henry Harrison High School in West Lafayette, IN. The Raiders come into the contest on a high note, having opened their season with a victory for the first time in a decade. They defeated Terre Haute South Vigo last week, 42-13. 

The Raiders are led by senior RB Omarion Dixon (#47). Dixon racked up 146 yards and 4 scores last week on 16 carries. Junior QB Tyler Knoy (#2) added 121 yards and a score on two explosive carries. Junior LB Thomas Urban (#15) led the defense with 8 tackles.

The Rocks will look to rebound from an abysmal outing last week in an attempt to get back to .500 with a win. The Rock D will need to stop an efficient and explosive Raider option offense, while the Shamrock offense will need to eliminate the early turnovers that plagued them last week. The IndyStar predicts a 35-24 Rocks final, but it is looking to be a good, close contest in any case. 

As with last week, tickets are limited and pandemic rules must be followed on-site. The streaming link for this game has been shared separately, so cheer us on from wherever you may be!

Green Vs Gold Scrimmage

For obvious reasons, the start to this season has been bizarre to say the least. We have no idea what the season is going to look like in the end, nor how long we'll be able to enjoy one another's company on the field. So, we're just trying to work hard and enjoy whatever time we are given to practice and play the sport we love. This group of Rocks has already shown incredible perseverance and adaptability, putting in the effort on their own even when we weren't allowed to congregate. 

We've all been looking forward to getting back on the field, and this week provided some of our first official looks at the 2020 Rocks. We were able to hold our annual Green vs Gold scrimmage this Saturday, and had a blast competing against one another. We wanted to share a picture from the event, just so you all know we're out there working hard and doing our best to appreciate every second we get to spend with each other this season.

 

Stay safe out there!
