Mountain Ridge had to kick off their season on the road on Saturday, but they showed no ill effects. They blew past the Southern Rams 34-0. Given the Miners' advantage in MaxPreps' Maryland football rankings (they are ranked 48th, while the Rams are ranked 189th) , the win wasn't entirely unexpected.
Carter Clites looked great while leading his team to the win, throwing for 270 yards and three TDs while completing 73.1% of his passes, and also punching in one score on the ground. Those 270 passing yards gave him a new career-high.
Mountain Ridge didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off two passes before the game was over. The picks came courtesy of Noah Kenner and Levi Clise. Mountain Ridge got some further help from Brayden Whetzel: he picked up a sack and made nine total tackles (3.0 for loss).
