A Season-Best Effort from Ryder Allen Leads St. John's/Tipton Catholic over Thunder Ridge
Sadly, Ryder Allen posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead St. John's/Tipton Catholic over Thunder Ridge on Friday. Allen forced a fumble, made 23 total tackles, and defended a pass, good enough to also set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
St. John's/Tipton Catholic is on a seven-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-6. Allen will have a chance to log another big game when he takes on Blue Valley on Friday.
