Brady Grondz contributed a 27-yard touchdown catch and a 5-yard TD run. Thys Van Der Hoek and Griffin De Abreu each caught a touchdown pass from Fasani.

Defensively, Preston Zuidervaart recovered a fumble for an early turnover that helped turn the tide for Ripon Christian, which tallied two unanswered scores in the second half for a 28-14 halftime cushion.

Cote Windorski also had a fumble recovery. Lineman Jacob Kowes led the defense with 12 tackles, three sacks, three tackles for losses and a challenge.

Dustin Hoekstra compiled 11 tackles.
