Ridge dominated with their offensive line making plenty of running room for the backs. Sophomore Liam Derkasch and juniors Connor Brennan and Max D'Ambrosio each made their way into the end zone for Ridge. Defensively, Ridge kept 'Boro at bay limiting their running game and only giving up a touchdown on a 40-yard pass play.
