The River Ridge Knights were able to stop their two game skid last week as they defeated county rival Creekview . The Knights were able to establish the ground game last Friday, rushing for 175 yards and 3-TDs. Camden Cox led the way on the ground with 97 yards on 12 carries and 1- TD. Micah Pugh and Ethan Spector also added rushing TDs. The Knights, who have been more of a passing threat this season were able to amass 138 yards per game through the air with 1-TD.

Scouting the Trojans

The Lassiter Trojans will wrap up their season as they try to end a six game skid. The Trojans were shut out last week in their game against region leader Sprayberry. Lassiter is averaging 165 yards per game through the air and 49.4 yards per game on the ground. Quarterback Mitch Seaman has thrown for 1,460 yards and 6-TDs while completed 57% of his passes. Collins Price (34 receptions, 326 yards, 2-TDs) and Gavin Rose (27 receptions, 310 yards, 2-TDs) continue to lead the team in receiving. Meanwhile freshman Jude Galloway leads the team with 140 yards and 2- TDs. However, Mitch Seaman leads the team in attempts with 94. Defensively, Lassiter is allowing 30 points per game. Harston Harrison leads the team with 75 total tackles including 14.5 tackles for loss. The Trojans have sacked opposing quarterbacks 14 times.

Pundit's Pick

We expect River Ridge to continue to work to establish he ground game this week. The questions is whether or not Lassiter can disrupt River Ridge along the line of scrimmage. Conversely, Lassiter will need to be a little more efficient through the air and limit their turnovers. River Ridge has been more effective this season. We like the Knights by 29.
