Ridgewood and Fivay take on one another this Friday at 7:30 PM on Ridgewood's home turf. Fivay will be looking to take advantage of a struggling Ridgewood defense that has allowed an average of 35.38 points per game.
Ridgewood brought some tenacious defense (the best it has had all year) into its match. It took its its last contest against Gulf by a conclusive 27 - 3 score. Senior running back Chris Melton was a big part of the win as his strong performance led the charge (he picked up 233 yards on the ground). Melton has been a consistent playmaker for Ridgewood as this was the 6th good game in a row from him.
Meanwhile, after flying high the game before (32 points), Fivay faltered in its previous match. It simply didn't have it last week, losing 54 - 7 to Hudson. Fivay might be looking to mix more passes into its game plan since the team stuck to the run for the vast majority of its plays.
Fivay's defeat dropped it to 1-7 while Ridgewood's win brought it to 3-5. Can Ridgewood pick up its first back-to-back wins of the season, or will Fivay prove too much? We'll see soon enough.
