Coaches’ Thoughts: I hope we play!  Any amount of games would be a blessing in itself.  I think everyone will be better this year from top to bottom.  Huron (week 2 Cancelled) will be a big test for us right out of the gate.  I have a lot of respect for that program.

FNV Outlook: Riverview is one of the favorites in the Huron League in 2020. Even though the Pirates graduated 10 seniors who contributed in 2019, there were 8 sophomores who saw extensive minutes last season. Jamari Moultrie will be one of the best players in the Huron League this year. FNV All Blog LB Christian Lopez returns to lead is what is to be expected a stout defense.
