A Season-Best Effort from Camden Bruns Leads Rampart over Vista Ridge
On Friday, Rampart had to settle for second even though Camden Bruns put up the best numbers he has all season. Bruns forced a fumble and made 16 total tackles.
Bruns must have Vista Ridge's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Bruns saw the Wolves), he picked up 0.5 sacks, forced a fumble, and made 11 total tackles (5.0 for loss).
Gamescore: 32.35
Air Academy found a leader in Jackson Schmadeka as the team took down Liberty on Thursday. Nobody could stop Schmadeka as he rushed for 57 yards and a touchdown.
Air Academy has been performing well recently as they've won four of their last five matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 4-3 record this season. Schmadeka and Air Academy will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Vista Ridge at 7:00 p.m. on October 25th.
