A Season-Best Effort from James Perrone Leads Southridge over Edison
Southridge was led to victory by James Perrone, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Saturday. Perrone threw for 272 yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 58 yards on only six carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
