Colby Ramos Sets Career High in Rushing Yards
Sadly, Colby Ramos posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Big Springs Charter over Hill County on Saturday. 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. Ramos and Big Springs Charter will have a little extra prep time after the defeat as they won't be playing again for a while. They'll take on Coastal Christian HomeSchool at 5:00 p.m. on October 26th.
