  1. Why would someone make this post against River Mill ? Obviously, you are not a River Mill follower because if you were, you would have already have known that ORMA beat River Mill with easy in a scrimmage at the beginning of the season. While River Mill may be better now, I can assure you that ORMA is much better now.

    That being said – I do like the way the 2 main girls for River Mill play the game. They play with passion and heart. Against any other 2 girls, they can hold their own on the best girls but as a team they would have a hard time against teams such as Dudley, ORMA, Providence Day, or a Southeast Guilford.

  2. Like “what” said…It’s very obvious that whoever started this comment thread is not a real River Mill supporter and they definitely aren’t affiliated with the team.

    I know for a fact, that River Mill’s coach has respect for Coach Rudd, and I’m pretty sure that the feeling is mutual. Also several of the Oak Ridge players and the River Mill players are friends.

    The two teams scrimmaged each other to prepare for their upcoming seasons.
    The teams aren’t even in the same league.

    They aren’t talking about, or even thinking about each other right now.
    They’re concentrating on the remainder of their seasons, and the teams that they’ll face.

    Both teams will face stiff competition in post-season play.
    Good luck to both teams.
