Richfield Wins 21st-Straight Thanks to Malik Fautin
Malik Fautin was instrumental in extending Richfield's winning streak to 21 on Friday. Fautin did his part (and then some), rushing for 157 yards and a touchdown while picking up 8.3 yards per carry for the 'W'. Those 157 rushing yards gave him a new career-high.
Fautin and Richfield will square off against Canyon View at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The match will pit Fautin up against the Falcons' star wideout Trenton Ludlow. 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.
