Riverview High football players Bryan Giordano, Anthony Quinones and Eric Diaz feel it’s only fair opposing defenders be forewarned should they enter within reach of any of the Sharks’ three senior offensive linemen.

With that, they offer a simple message.

“Be prepared to get lost,” Diaz started before yielding to Giordano to finish with, “because whoever comes across us disappears.”

The message makes more sense when realizing the trio operates under the nickname “The Bermuda Triangle,” a reference to the mysterious area located off the United States’ southeastern Atlantic coast known for a rash of unexplained disappearances of ships and aircraft. Giordano, Quinones and Diaz are in the business of opening up holes for the Riverview rushing attack, and to do so they are tasked with getting the opposition out of the way.

The only real difference between them and The Bermuda Triangle is the mystery aspect; Giordano, Quinones and Diaz have no qualms with talking about the methods in their work.

“We love to blow people off the ball,” Quinones said, referring to their physical blocking style.
