coach wood owns 3 of only 4 Ridley defenses to ever give up over 18 points against per game. 2018, 2019, 2021 Ridley defenses are statistically the worst in Ridley history, accompanied by 1953, where 20+ ppg were scored against in each season. To put that in perspective, since 1934 Ridley defenses have averaged less than 14 points against in 72 seasons. There have been 88 seasons of Ridley football, not counting 2022; coach woods defenses have ranked 88, 87, 85, 81, 78 and his best, 65.
In their last 5 games Ridley has allowed 187 points. As said, Ridley has played 88 seasons of football. In 81 of those seasons, defenses allowed 179 total points or less. So in 5 games Ridley has allowed more points than they gave up in 81 other complete seasons.
Dennis deckers average points against was 12.2. Battys, as head coach, not d coordinator, was 13.8. Waller, 10.5. McNich, 8.1. Woods is 20.9.
In 70 games, Wood defenses have 11 shutouts. Basically a shutout every 7 games. Decker had 20 in 85 games; 1 every 4 games. Waller, 23 in 100; 1 every 4. McNich, 77 in 256; 1 every 3 games.
Not counting 2022, wood has 6 complete Ridley seasons, with a total of 1,420 points against. Less points were scored against Ridley in the entire decades of the 1930s, 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, plus between 2000 - 2009 and between the 6 seasons of 2010 - 2015 (899 points). Basically, 2016 - 2021 has been the most heavily scored against 6 season era, even compared to every total decade since the 1930s, in Ridley history.
Point is, even if Ridley can score at will, they won’t be successful if they can’t stop their opponent. Every game against a tough opponent will become whoever has last possession wins. And when they can’t score, like against coatesville last year, they’re in serious trouble.
