Big Game from Maruna As Columbia Won 22-18
Gage Maruna posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He rushed for 86 yards and two touchdowns.
The victory (which was Columbia's third in a row) raised their record to 6-2. Maruna and Columbia are taking a road trip to take on Brookside at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

While Josiah Longo delivered a dominant effort on Friday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Clearview. Longo was unstoppable, rushing for 95 yards on only eight carries. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, picking up a sack and making seven total tackles.
Clearview's defeat ended a ten-game streak of wins at home dating back to last season and dropped them to 6-1. Longo's next match is against Black River on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid performance.
