Football: Riverside off to best start in a decade, handles Bishop Eustace

The duo on the ground of Justin Mary and John Boston helped the Rams do something that has not happened in nearly a decade.

On Friday night, Riverside took control early and did not relinquish it during a 46-8 win over Bishop Eustace in Riverside. The victory improved the Rams to 4-1. The last time they won four games in a season came in 2014 and it has now happened in the first five games.

The Rams came into the night having won three of their first four games for the first time since 2004.

Riverside (4-1) led 8-0 after the first quarter. Mary broke off a 67-yard touchdown run, which was his first of two on the night.

Boston extended the lead to 24-0 in the second quarter with a six-yard run. He would add another touchdown in the fourth quarter. The Rams also saw Anthony Schippnick find the end zone.

Riverside will hit the road next Saturday to take on Gloucester Catholic as Bishop Eustace (3-2) will return home next Friday to host Schalick.
