Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 2038752, member: 27"] At that time, the staff thought Jon Fisher, a punter from Oakfield-Alabama HS near Rochester, was better. I think it frustrated Riley enough he almost left the team. At the time they were competing, neither was very good. Fisher was a maybe little more consistent but Riley hit them longer and higher when he got a hold of one. I think the lesson to take from that competition is when two players are competing at about the same level, go with the one with the higher ceiling, especially if they are younger and have a great work ethic. [USER=34]Orangeyes[/USER], to his credit, always loved Riley and campaigned for him to get the starting job... [/QUOTE]
