Ridgefield is coming home in high spirits after they had to open their season on the road against Prairie. Ridgefield breezed by Prairie on the road to the tune of 48-7 on Saturday. The win was some much needed relief for the Spudders as it spelled an end to their three-game losing streak dating back to last season.
Landon Debeaumont was a one-man wrecking crew for Ridgefield as he threw for 242 yards and three touchdowns while completing 73.3% of his passes, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. The dominant performance gave him a new career- in total yards. Another passer making a difference was Cly Stephens, who rushed for 112 yards and a touchdown on only 12 carries.
Ridgefield wouldn't let Prairie keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force three fumbles. It was truly a group effort as Wyatt Hemmelman, Jake Olsen, and William Andrew picked up one apiece. Hemmelman got the majority of those receiving yards when he pulled down a pass and took off for a gain of 63 yards.
Meanwhile, Montesano couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They were dealt a 35-7 defeat at the hands of La Center on Friday. The Bulldogs were down 28-0 at the end of the third quarter, which was just too much to recover from.
