[pizzzzza]

Union leads Ridgeview 7-0 end of 1st qtr,

Bears ball 1st and 10 on own 40.

Two Pack turnovers the difference, one deep in Pack territory.

Trenton Adkins is proving to be worth the price of admission, but timely penalties have hampered Ridgeview in the 1st half Bears still lead Wolfpack 7-0 with 5:13 left in 2nd

Ridgeview scores on a bizarre broken play: Adkins pounds his way to the goal line, stretches out, fumbles, and the fumble is recovered in the end zone by a teammate for a TD Union and Ridgeview tied at 7 with 3:26 before halftime

0:08 left 2ndQ - Ridgeview 14, Union 7. Tyler O'Quinn TD pass to Quinn Turner. Wolf Pack have scored 14 unanswered.

(Thanks for the tweet Matt)

No prob at all - appreciate you posting. Listening to it on 92.1 The Wolf WDIC. Was hoping to watch and Live Blog it but my stream connect fell through last minute.

Fair to say that Ridgeview's tandem of Adkins (a Sophomore with offers from Penn State among others) and Sexton (an Eastside transfer) is the best backfield in SWVA

(Tweet from Alex Tabor)

 

[pizzzzza]

2:00 left - Ridgeview 27, Union 14. Ridgeview deflected Union's pass on 4th & 8 from own 38. Could be the nail in the coffin.

(yes our friend Matt again)

Ridgeview secures their biggest win in school history (est. 2015) with a 27-14 victory over Union Wolfpack had just too much size, speed, Adkins, and Sexton for the visiting Bears
