Keeping Reese company is Jayden Martin, a fellow Ramsay player. He rushed for 185 yards and a touchdown while picking up 10.3 yards per carry. He's now once again averaging 100+ rushing yards (107.3) per game. He really tore up the turf during one magnificent 77-yard run.
Martin and Ramsay will challenge Wenonah at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. Martin will face off against Makhi Fowler, the Dragons' star rusher. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.
