F that school! Lived in Columbus for 6 years and my biggest joys were watching Michigan kick their ass and see all of them crying in their beer. Until I was down the street from campus watching with my buddies and they went psycho and started overturning cars and setting dumpsters on fire...never went back down there for that game again 🤣

Unfortunately Riverside hasn't had a varsity football team in a while

They have enough trouble trying to field a team that would be eligible based on their grades 🤣

Ray Allen

 

 

Huh?

 

He played high school ball in South Carolina.  He was an Army brat.  When was he in Buffalo?

I played PAL basketball with a kid, Curtis Brown, great scoring point guard who went to Riverside. Always wondered what happened to him.

Yes and yes.

Good for him, but Canisius did just lose to St. Francis for the Monsignor Martin championship!  Go Red Raiders!

Yes they did .. isn't that regular season though.. not the postseason

 

St Francis might be one of the best overall teams in the state this year .. 

 

Canisius still does have the most monsignor Martin championships though

I'm sorry to hear that and it reminds me that Joe Erhmann played at Riverside HS and then for the Baltimore Colts.

Sorry. Ray Hall... McKinley HS, Canisius College and a few NBA training camps.

Cliff was an excellent player. He played 18 seasons in the NBA and is credited with helping create the "Stretch 4" position, a power forward who can shoot from beyond the arc.

 

At the time of his retirement he was the tallest NBA player (6'10") to shoot over 1000 career threes.

Cliff was a great basketball player and a great guy 

 

Like I said I got to meet him multiple times and have conversations .. I would have swore he was closer to 7 foot then 6 ft 10 man he was so tall 

 

I also got to meet his father with him one day and the only dude taller than cliff.. was his dad lol

 

Man must have been in his seventies and still 7'1

 

 

@Sierra Foothills

 

Yeah it is sad about Riverside... 

 

The one thing that really makes me sad is the dissolution of the Harvard cup.. 100 years of Buffalo high School football history 

 

Buffalo was the only city in the state of New York that cared more about crowning a city champion than joining the modern sectional breakdown 

 

For a hundred years Buffalo always considered their own City champion equal to the state champion of New York they just weren't allowed to play 

 

With the dissolution of the Harvard cup, the merging of some Buffalo City schools, and the entirety joining section 6 

 

We now see that City powerhouse like Bennett is consistently a state contender
