A Season-Best Effort from Dylan Richburg Leads Gahr over Norwalk
Sadly, Dylan Richburg posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Gahr over Norwalk on Friday. Richburg rushed for 94 yards and two touchdowns, and also picked up 51 receiving yards, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Gahr now has a losing record at 3-4. Richburg's next contest is against Compton Early College on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort.
