NIGHTHAWK SPOTLIGHT
This page is dedicated to our players and coaches who have received special recognitions- past and present.
07/27/24- Three of our Varsity Nighthawks traveled to Golden Colorado for the Colorado School of Mines Football recruitment camp. All three of our Nighthawks, David Baba, Matthew Kroner, and Grant Dooling, had tremendous performances during the camp and were given their official offers later that day by the School of Mines Football coaches.
Colorado School of Mines is an academically rigorous engineering university with an NCAA II football team that has made back-to-back championship appearances within the last two years along with three consecutive regional championships and five consecutive conference championships. They had a record 14 wins last season and would like to continue their winning culture by adding our very own Nighthawks to their roster.
Congratulations gentlemen, thank you for being exceptional representatives of Ridge Football and Ironwood Ridge High School. We are so incredibly proud of you.
NATIONAL SIGNING DAY - APRIL 17th, 2024
Congratulations to five of our senior Nighthawks. They each signed their letter of intent to play at the next level. Nighthawk Nation is incredibly proud of you, and we look forward to following your success in your future collegiate career.
