Two wins in a row for SOBO - Friday night SOuth Beloit 54-12 over River Ridge

Early and often the South Beloit SOBOs got into the end zone against the overmatched River Ridge Wildcats. When the final seconds ticked off the clock, it was SOBOs 54-12 over River Ridge.

Since week one, I would say that the SOBOs are better at every facet of the game. They run the ball better, they throw the ball better, play better defense and the special teams are turning into something special. Josh Redieske and his staff have been able to navigate the early season loss to a very good Polo team to get his team to the 2-1 mark they sit at.

The next test for this SOBOs team will be whether they can bring their game on the road. South Beloit’s next game against Hiawatha is on the road on September 20, 2024 at 7 p.m.
