A Season-Best Effort from Trevor Kalisz Leads Ashley Ridge over Summerville
On Friday, Ashley Ridge had to settle for second even though Trevor Kalisz put up the best numbers he has all season. Kalisz wasn't messing around, throwing for 364 yards and six touchdowns while completing 90.2% of his passes. The matchup was his third straight with three or more passing touchdowns dating back to last season.

Acosta Posts Huge Game in 49-48 Loss
Another Ashley Ridge player making an appearance on this list is Jayden Acosta. He rushed for 179 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 42 receiving yards.
Summerville's probably not too fond of Acosta given he always seems to get the better of them. Acosta rushed for 202 yards and three touchdowns the last time he and the Green Wave duked it out back in October of 2023.
