Colin Burns Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Colin Burns was a major factor in Ridgewood's win over Hackensack on Friday. Burns made a major impact, rushing for 137 yards and a touchdown on only 13 carries. The performance once again pushed his average rushing yardage north of 100 yards per game (102.2). He didn't just play on offense: he also made a tackle (1.0 for loss) and defended a pass.
Ridgewood's victory bumped their record up to 5-1. Burns and Ridgewood will have some time to savor their win since their next game is a little ways off: they'll take on Northern Highlands at 6:15 p.m. on October 18th.
