Ryan Campbell Has Career Rushing Day
Fort Dorchester was led to victory by Ryan Campbell, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday.

Trevor Kalisz Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Friday, Ashley Ridge got the W thanks in part to Trevor Kalisz playing the best football he has all season. Kalisz threw for 201 yards and four touchdowns on only 15 passes.
Stall's probably not too fond of Kalisz given he always seems to get the better of them. Kalisz threw for 251 yards and five touchdowns while completing 83.3% of his passes the last time he and the Warriors duked it out back in October of 2023.
