Ryker Good's Big Game Can't Quite Lead Nampa over Vallivue

Makaijden Kelso Turns in Season-Best Performance
Sadly, Makaijden Kelso posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Bonneville over Skyline on Friday. Kelso rushed for 86 yards and a touchdown on only ten carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
Bonneville's loss ended a four-game streak of wins at home dating back to last season and dropped them to 4-5. Kelso and Bonneville will head out on the road to challenge Vallivue at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
