Ringwall Sets Rushing Record Blake Ringwall set a school record rushing for 1,456 yards on 198 carries. Blake scored 98 of the Rockets 325 season points, rushing for 15 touchdowns. Blake's season high came in the District opener at Douglas, gaining 278 yards on 26 carries. Ringwall's performance earned him a first-team all Chisolm Trail I position. Blake may have some difficulty topping that performance next season as Rose Hill graduates four of its five starting offensive linemen. Three of those linemen were all league players: Perry Carr (1st team), Cody Vernia (2nd Team), and Ryan Faflick (2nd team). |
