Dylan Richburg Delivers Best Performance of Season
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 and Gahr will face off against Compton Early College at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

A Season-Best Effort from Roman Acosta Leads Gahr over Norwalk
Gahr came up short on Friday despite Roman Acosta delivering his best game to date. Acosta threw for 200 yards and two touchdowns, and also caught a touchdown.
Acosta and Gahr will venture away from home to face off against Compton Early College at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The match will pit Acosta up against the Rising Phoenix's star quarterback Leton Washington. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.
