Football Recap: Redding Christian Skates Past Modoc with Ease + How To Watch

Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Redding Christian). They simply couldn't be stopped on Friday as they easily beat the Modoc Braves 60-6. Considering the Lions have won four contests by more than 19 points this season, Friday's blowout was nothing new.

Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Redding Christian to victory, but perhaps none more so than Levi Putnam, who rushed for 159 yards and a pair of TDs on only 12 carries. Putnam's longest rush was for an impressive 50 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total. Brodie Ogden was in the mix as well, providing Redding Christian with two scores.
