VYPE Thursday Night Showdown Highlights: Ridge Point downs Dickinson, 42-36
HOUSTON - Could we have picked a better game to kickoff the 2021 season of VYPE Thursday Night Showdown?
Ridge Point went absolutely bonkers, amassing 555 yards of total offense on the night to improve to 2-0 on the 2021 season.
Quarterback Bert Emanuel Jr. went off. The senior signal-caller finished 14 of 21 for 172 yards and two scores and then rushed for another 239 yards and three scores. That's video game numbers. Ezell Jolly had another solid night, rushing for 133 yards and one score.
Dickinson was led running back Reggie Sanders, who finished with 125 yards and a score on 18 carries for the Gators.
This could have been a potential playoff preview and if it was, we want more! Check out the highlights from the game below!

Ridge Point's Harvey commits to Louisiana Tech University
HOUSTON - Louisiana Tech just got a big, literally big, addition to their 2022 recruiting class on Friday as Ridge Point offensive lineman Calvin Harvey announced his commitment to the Bulldogs via VYPE Media.
"Really just the family atmosphere that Coach (Skip) Holtz provides to all his players," Harvey said. "A big part was also from an education standpoint with the business that I want to study. Also, the location was a big part, being out there in Ruston out in the country allows me to pursue what career I want in my future."
Harvey is 6-foot-8, 330 pounds, and a three-star prospect according to 247 Sports.
What is crazy is prior to his freshman year, Harvey never really played organized football except for some Little League ball. Harvey didn't like the contact at a young age and went with basketball.
But then football became his calling.
In the spring, following his junior season, Harvey's recruitment picked up including offers from the University of Houston, North Texas, SMU and Lousiana Tech. He would eventually pick up nine total offers.
"It's been an eye-opening and hard process at the same time," Harvey said. "I really just had to invest time in studying each school and Lousiana Tech came up on top."
Harvey got the Lousiana Tech offer right after the Atascocita playoff game this past year and since then, the incoming Ridge Point senior said the coaches just stayed on him.
"They would call me every day, talk to me every night and that just set a path in my mind of where I know I'd be loved," Harvey said.
