Spencer Bobian Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Ridge View got the W thanks in part to Spencer Bobian playing the best football he has all season. Bobian rushed for 205 yards and a touchdown while picking up 10.3 yards per carry, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process. He is becoming a predictor of Ridge View's success: when he posts at least 100 rushing yards the team is 4-1 (and 1-2 when he doesn't).
The win was the fourth in a row for Ridge View, bringing their record for this year to 5-3. Bobian and Ridge View will get to enjoy the win for a while: their next game is against Blythewood at 7:30 p.m. on November 1st.
