Nolan Bausch

The Royal Valley football team got their first win of the season this past Friday at Riverside 38-16.

The running game was on point and sophomore running back Nolan Bausch was a monster part of that. The Panthers rushed for 379 yards and averaged over eight yards per carry.

Nolan finished the game with 14 carries for 255 yards and two touchdowns while averaging 18.2 yards per carry.

Through three games, Nolan is averaging nearly 115 yards per game. He’s added six tackles, four pass breakups, and an interception on defense.

Nolan is a first-year starter and honor roll student. Head coach David Boucher says that Nolan leads with his actions and not his words, and cares about his teammates and community.
