Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Chestnut Ridge). They blew past the Bedford Bisons 35-7 on Friday. This was payback for the Lions, who suffered a 27-10 loss the last time these two teams met.
Jayden Imler continued his habit of posting crazy stat lines, rushing for 277 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 9.9 yards per carry. Those 277 rushing yards gave him a new career-high. Cooper Barefoot also deserves some recognition as he punched in his first rushing touchdown of the season.
Wins are hard to come by when you can't run the rock, something Chestnut Ridge proved: they limited Bedford to a paltry 2.7 yards per carry. The team can thank Cameron Hillegasss for the heroic effort on defense: he. Chestnut Ridge didn't have any issues in that department, having averaged eight.
