FIND IT in the
Ridgeview tops Hood River
Valley in IMC win, 46-26
BY JOE PETSHOW
For The Spokesman
HOOD RIVER — Rid-
geview running back Josh
Biever was a workhorse for
the Ravens in a 46-26 Inter-
mountain Conference foot-
ball win Friday at Hood River
Valley.
The 175-pound senior
ran 28 times for 209 yards
and two touchdowns, and he
also caught a pass for a third
score as Ridgeview evened its
record to 2-2. Quarterback
Aiden Brenneman threw for
four scores, including two
to Jeremiah Schwartz, as the
Ravens broke open the game
with 16-0 third quarter scor-
ing advantage.
Up-and-down Ridgeview
entered the contest on a two-
game losing streak, but the
Ravens showed some punch
in week two when they led
league-leading Pendleton by
two touchdowns at halftime
before losing 20-12. Rid-
geview was shut out 27-0 last
week by cross-town rival Red-
mond, while Hood River lost
its first game, 26-6, at Pend-
leton.
Biever said the Redmond
game was an anomaly.
“We came into the game
not prepared and didn’t re-
ally step off the bus,” he said.
“This week we were just ready
to go. We faced a lot of strug-
gles with guys being out, guys
being gone for spring break,
but in the end, we got off the
bus and took it to ’em.”
Biever’s touchdown re-
ception as time expired for
halftime seemed to turn the
game into Ridgeview’s favor. It
appeared Hood River would
take an 18-16 advantage into
the locker room, but a 47-
yard Biever run on a reverse
moved the ball to the HRV 12
with 1.8 seconds on the clock.
After a Ridgeview timeout,
Brenneman connected with
Biever as Ridgeview retook
the lead it would not relin-
quish.
“I’m the inside receiver and
I have a corner route,” he said.
“I knew I could get to the cor-
ner. I saw Aiden throw it and
as soon as I caught it, I got hit

and luckily I held on.”
Biever said the Ravens had
the advantage against a Hood
River line that includes two
future college players, includ-
ing 285-pound Oregon State
signee Henry Buckles. “The
line, they went off this game,”
he said. “Especially from last
game against Redmond where
I feel like we struggled a little
bit in the running game. We
proved we can be a running
team.”
The same could have been
said about Hood River, at least
in the first half. Both teams
were successful on their first
two offensive possessions.
The Eagles received the open-
ing kickoff and scored after
nine Tanner Fletcher running
plays covered 56 yards. Rid-
geview answered with Biever,
who capped the Ravens’ initial
drive of 58 yards in 10 plays
with a 17-yard TD scamper.
Biever carried on all but three
plays of the drive, and his con-
version run gave his team an
8-6 lead.
Conversion runs figured
huge in the back-and-forth
first half. Ridgeview was
2-for-3 on points-after touch-
downs before intermission,
while HRV failed on all three
of its first-half attempts.
Buckles tipped his helmet
to Ridgeview, which took
advantage of its opportuni-
ties. “We made some mis-
takes defensively and a cou-
ple mistakes offensively,” he
said. “That cost us a couple of
touchdowns.”
HRV answered the Ravens’
first score, this time mixing in
two Trenton Hughes comple-
tions into a nine-play drive,
before Fletcher ran it in from
the 2 for a 12-8 lead midway
through the second period.
The pass plays proved an in-
dicator of things to come, as
Hughes found Ryles Buck-
ley on a slant pattern and the
junior wide receiver raced
50 yards for the go-ahead
score with 4:04 remaining in
the first half. Ridgeview had
matched HRV’s second TD
with another Biever run to go
ahead 16-12 before Buckley’s
catch-and-run had once again
given the Eagles the lead, 18-
16.
For his part, Fletcher fin-
ished with 18 carries for 119
yards before intermission,
but the senior halfback was
slowed by the Raven defense
after the break when Rid-
geview seized control.
Brenneman connected
with Gannon Jeter on a four-
yard touchdown pass with
9:13 left in the third period.
Hood River went four-and-
out on its next possession and
Brenneman and Schwartz
hooked up on their first TD
connection — this one cov-
ering 38 yards. The Rid-
geview defense forced another
four-and-out, and two plays
later Brenneman threw to
Schwartz for 31-yard catch-
and-run score. The soph-
omore quarterback was an
efficient 7-for-9 passing for
109 yards, registering TDs on
nearly half of his throws.
