MORRISON – The Riverdale Rams, as undermanned as they are, made an early statement Friday at Bud Cole Field. The Morrison Mustangs had the answer.

Morrison responded to a first-quarter Rams touchdown with TDs on its next three possessions, taking control for a 25-6 Big Rivers win at home to snap a two-game losing streak.

The Mustangs (4-3, 4-3) wanted to establish the run in this one, and did so both inside and outside. Fullback Andrew Connelly rushed for 119 yards in relief of usual starter Brock Deter, and wingback Danny Willis added 115 yards on the ground.
