RIPLEY – The smallest man on the field – 5-foot-7, 170-pound New Albany senior DJ Robinson – had a gigantic performance Friday in the Bulldogs’ final regular-season game against rival Ripley.
Robinson, who plays receiver, running back and defensive back, scored three touchdowns to lead New Albany to a 29-8 victory. The Bulldogs, the Division 2-4A champion, are now 9-0 headed into the postseason.
