RIVERBEND 34, COLONIAL FORGE 17

The Bears pulled away after halftime to earn a Commonwealth District win over the Eagles.

Riverbend quarterback Camden Simmons accounted for 202 yards of total offense and four total touchdowns.  He ran for a game-high 158 yards and a pair of scores on just five carries, and went 4 of 5 for 44 yards and a touchdown through the air.

Simmons’ 48-yard jaunt opened up the scoring in the first quarter.  He connected with JoJo Thomas for an 18-yard score that gave the Bears (4-3, 2-1) a 13-7 lead in the second period, then returned a kickoff 60 yards for a touchdown to give them a 21-14 halftime advantage.

Simmons tacked on a 60-yard scoring scamper to extend Riverbend’s edge to 27-17 in the third quarter.

Thomas complemented Simmons’ effort with 141 yards rushing on 18 carries.

Brock Brimhall completed 24 of 43 passes for a career-high 334 yards for Forge (6-2, 2-2).  He threw two touchdown passes, but was also intercepted twice.

The Bears will host district-leading Stafford next Friday, and the Eagles will welcome Brooke Point.
