There's no denying the Riverdale Warriors have struggled this year on the football field. Coach Ron Aydelott says despite his team's 0-and-3 start, they're making some improvements in many positions...

East Hamilton is the next opponent for Riverdale. While a lot of people may not know much about the Hurricanes, they're plenty good. In fact, they're 3-and-0 with wins over Signal Mountain, Kingsport Dobyns-Bennett and Walker Valley...

East Hamilton players to watch are tailback Matt Miltita, who has almost 250 yards rushing in three games. He's averaging almost 5-years per carry. Also, wide receiver Tony Francois, who has 338 yards on nine receptions. That's almost 38-yards per catch. Both are expolosive players. Riverdale will have to eliminate mistakes, like turnovers and penalties. The good thing for the Warriors is they're at home. WGNS will be there for the broadcast. Pregame begins at 6, with a 7 o'clock kickoff Friday night.
