Lucas Hudkins opened the 2020 season with a bang for the Ridge Red Devils.

Hudkins powered Ridge to a commanding 42-14 win over Bridgewater-Raritan in Week 1 after handling 19 carries for 180 yards and four touchdown runs. JSZ’s Jay Cook stopped by practice Wednesday afternoon to present the bruising back his award.


The JSZ Week 1 North Jersey game ball poll tallied just over 20,000 votes total, with Hudkins earning 6,970 of those, for 34.8 percent.
