Colby Ramos Has Career-Day on Saturday
On Saturday, Big Springs Charter had to settle for second even though Colby Ramos put up the best numbers he has all season. Ramos rushed for 119 yards and two touchdowns on only 11 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Big Springs Charter is on a 16-game losing streak (dating back to last season) that has dropped them down to 0-6.
