Big Win for Bulldogs Led By a Big Game for Gordon

(Oakland, IA) — After falling in week two to AHSTW, Riverside faced a big challenge in week three opening up district play against undefeated South Central Calhoun but the Bulldogs responded with a 34-21 win.

Riverside jumped out to a 14-0 lead and the score would stay that way all the way into the 4th quarter as the teams would furiously go back and forth in the final period but the early start helped the Bulldogs.  Jaxon Gordon had a monster day with 35 carries for 248 yards and 4 TD.  He and Riverside were worn down late against the Vikings but Head Coach Darrell Frain says his team was in much better shape in the 4th quarter against the Titans

AC Roller led the defense with 13 tackles and helped hold South Central Calhoun to just 57 yards rushing.  Beating the Titans gave Riverside a leg up in the tough Class A District that also has AC/GC, IKM Manning, Earlham, Southwest Valley and Panorama

The 2-1 Bulldogs will visit 2-1 IKM Manning this Friday.
