Ryan Specht was a major factor in Blue Valley Southwest's victory over Blair Oaks on Friday. Blair Oaks had no answer to Specht as he made 14 total tackles.
If the past is any indication, Specht could be in store for another big game when he takes on Blue Valley West on Thursday. Specht picked up a sack and made nine total tackles (2.0 for loss) the last time he and the Jaguars duked it out back in September of 2023.
