ELLWOOD CITY SCHEDULE ::: RIVERSIDE SCHEDULE
For Riverside, they have the honors of hosting Ellwood City for homecoming on September 28 at 7 p.m. However, the two teams will not compete in their always exciting season finale matchup like last season. The 2012 matchup will come mid-season.
Head-to-head last season, Riverside defeated Ellwood, 14-7. But, Ellwood City was still playoff bound, winning their first round matchup against Freeport, 33-26. In the second round, the Wolverines could not surpass the tough Greensburg Central Catholic team, falling 18-15.
