Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Southridge to victory, but perhaps none more so than Gabe Borisch, who rushed for 286 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 14.3 yards per carry. That's the most rushing yards Borisch has posted since back in October of 2024. Another back making a difference was Tayton Jackman, who rushed for 135 yards and three scores while picking up 7.9 yards per carry.
They were just one part of a punishing run game: Southridge was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 537 rushing yards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now rushed for at least 150 rushing yards in four consecutive matchups.
Southridge didn't go easy on the quarterback and picked off two passes before the game was over. The picks came courtesy of Kahne Kuhn and Toa Haertling. Kuhn also made seven total tackles, which is notable because Southridge is 2-1 when he posts at least four total tackles, but 1-3 otherwise.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Hanford). They claimed a resounding 41-7 victory over Sageview. The contest was all but wrapped up at the end of the third, by which point the Falcons had established a 27-point advantage.
Hanford moved to 2-5 with that win, which also ended their three-game losing streak. As for Southridge, their record is now 3-4.
Everything came up roses for Southridge against Hanford in their previous meeting back in October of 2024, as the squad secured a 55-0 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Suns since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
