Riverton Football Postgame Remarks {Video}
The last time Riverton had a winning season in football was back in 2015 and the Wolverines are well on their way to a winning season in 2024 after a 16-15 road victory over Buffalo on Friday. Riverton is 4-2 on the year and needed some late heroics to win this game in Johnson County.
The Wolverines were down 15-13 late in the 4th quarter and their defense held so Buffalo was forced to punt. Riverton blocked that punt giving them golden field position in the last minute which allowed Hunter Saltsgaver to kick the game-winning field goal. Saltsgaver also had 2 rushing touchdowns so he had a monster game.
Riverton redeemed themselves after a not-so-sharp effort the week before in their 20-13 loss to Douglas. The offense had some more continuity on Friday and the defense did their job.
We talked with Hunter Saltsgaver and quarterback Blake Gantenbein after the game and this is what the doctor ordered.
