Port Byron

And the big story in the conference, the big story in the area, and really, in my opinion, one of the biggest stories in the state is unfolding and continuing.

to play out up in Port Byron where last night the Riverdale Rams in a top 10 matchup in the state improved to 5-0.

Likely going to be a team that's inside of the top five this coming week in the Class 2A state rankings.

Four years removed from not having a varsity team.

They defeat Rock Ridge 26-7 to get to 5-0.

Jim Taylor, you were in Port Byron for homecoming at Riverdale High School last night.

What a performance.

by the Rams to get to 5-0.

So, Oren Head Coach Matt McLean will join us.

We're also going to have Riverdale Head Coach Guy Diericks coming up on the program as well as that setting up for a fun matchup between Rock Ridge and Riverdale up in Port Byron next week.

We'll talk about that matchup maybe at the tail end of the program here next week.

This morning to the Mississippi Division of the track.

I think it will help them come playoff time when there's that little bit of extra stress of win or go home.

They've kind of been in a high-energy moment that kind of mimics that.

All right, last thing for you, Coach Graves, looking ahead to week five should be another one of those environments you're playing in up in Port Byron against the 4-0 Riverdale Rams.

So looking ahead to that one, what's this week got to look like to get ready to play a team that I think everybody thinks is pretty, pretty good?
