Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Ridgevue). They simply couldn't be stopped on Friday as they easily beat the Caldwell Cougars 56-15. The Warhawks haven't had any issues with the Cougars recently, as the game was their eighth consecutive win against them.
Hunter Schmittel was a one-man wrecking crew as he threw for 241 yards and five touchdowns while completing 73.7% of his passes, and also punched in a pair of scores on the ground. Another big playmaker for Ridgevue was Cameron Johnson, who returned a punt for a touchdown.
Special teams also played a big role in the game for Ridgevue, adding 14 points to the final score. The biggest highlight from special teams (and perhaps the team as a whole) came courtesy of Johnson, who ran a punt back for a touchdown.
Another reason for the win was Ridgevue's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for four sacks. Kai Dowining refused to say out of the backfield, picking up 1.5 sacks all by himself.
