Battering David Ramsey leads Fleetwood assault
David Ramsey’s three-touchdown night propelled Fleetwood to a 35-3 non-league rout over Upper Perkiomen Friday night in the Tigers’ home opener.
Ramsey played a huge part in a balanced rushing attack, leading the Tigers in rushing with 97 yards on 21 carries.
The night also belonged to the Fleetwood defense, which gave up a lone field goal in the first quarter.
The Tigers allowed 3 passing yards and 17 rushing yards in the second half. Upper Perk gained most of its yards on penalties.
Fleetwood quarterback Jack Riffle rebounded from last week’s loss to Weiser with a turnover-free night, going 14-for-21 for 195 yards. Rifle had a 49-yard TD run in the third quarter called back due to a holding penalty.
Running back Trey Killian saw significant touches in the second half, rushing for 66 yards on 10 carries and a score. As a team the Tigers had 284 rushing yards, which allowed them to control the clock throughout.
The Tigers (2-1) host Twin Valley (2-1) Friday at 7 in their Lancaster-Lebanon League Section 3 debut.
