Riverside offense rolls by Summit

Riverside had no answer for LaRon Green.

Unfortunately, the Summit Academy football team had even more problems with Jake Wickline.

Green turned in another stellar game at quarterback for the Knights, completing 18-of-22 passes for 241 yards and two touchdowns, but Wickline ran roughshod over Summit as Riverside came away with a 64-26 win.

There were 13 touchdowns scored in the shootout; Wickline had three.

Summit Academy found itself down 21-0 early as Riverside quarterback Codi Jackson threw for a touchdown and ran for another before Wickline found the end zone for the first time of the day late in the first quarter.

The Knights answered when Chris Pollard caught a 5-yard scoring pass from Green.
