A fast start by Emmetsburg proved too much to overcome for the Ridge View football squad on Friday night, as the E-Hawks got past the Raptors 20-8 in the Class 1A playoff opening round. Ridge View entered the contest as the 4-seed from District 1, while Emmetsburg came in as champions of District 2. Emmetsburg jumped out to a 13-0 lead after one quarter, with the help of good field position. Ridge View held the E-Hawks in check the rest of the first half, but the Emmetsburg defense played well too, and the teams headed to the halftime break with the score remaining 13-0.
The Raptor volleyball squad was on the road Thursday night, traveling to Kingsley to take on conference foe Kingsley-Pierson. Ridge View jumped out to their customary fast start, flying to a 10-2 lead on the Panthers in game one, and cruising to a 25-8 victory.
