We want to keep you informed about a recent incident concerning student safety. Due to ongoing social media threats nationwide, federal authorities are closely monitoring social media for any concerning activity.

The student involved was identified and cooperated fully, sharing their device for review. After a thorough investigation by both the Sheriff’s Office and Rivercrest administrators, we are pleased to report that there was no credible threat to our school.
The safety and well-being of our students are our highest priorities. We take any potential threats seriously and remain committed to ensuring a safe and secure learning environment for everyone.

IT’S GAME DAY! Pretty much every media outlet that covers high school football in Arkansas has this match-up as their Game of the Week. Your Rivercrest Colts will travel to powerhouse Newport in a huge conference and 3A showdown.
The Colts are 4-0, 1-0 in conference after dispatching Harrisburg in a monsoon last Friday night 40-14. QB Cavonta Washington has been stellar having completed 71.4% of his passes for 681 yards 9TDs. Athlete Jayden Young has rushed for 204 yards and 5TDs (9.7 yards/car) and has caught 9 passes for 155 yards and 2TDs. WR Buddah Harris has snagged 19 receptions for 278 yards and 4TDs. WR Jakavion Williams has 12 catches for 189 yards and 2TDs. The Colt defense has been led by Tekylun Sanders (23 tackles 4TFL), Andrew Lomack (22 tackles 7TFL), and Young (17 tackles 3 INTs). The Colt offense is averaging 403 yards and 43.2 points per game.
As great as the Colt offense has been, Newport’s has been even more potent averaging 428 yards and 53.0 points per game. The Greyhounds are 4-0, 1-0 in conference after winning their 3A-3 opener last week over Piggott 56-18. That Greyhound offense is led by 4 star and Penn St. commit RB Kiandrea Barker who holds nearly 20 D1 offers including Arkansas, Auburn, Colorado, Missouri, Ole Miss, USC, Wisconsin, and Miami. Barker has rushed for 588 yards and 8TDs (10.7 yards/car). QB Luke Reynold has been equally as dangerous having thrown for 454 yards and 7TDs and rushed for 419 yards and 6TDs (10.7 yards/car). Newport’s running attack is averaging 10.5 yards/carry as a team. Jack Sampson (33 tackles 7TFL), Tyler Ridley (26 tackles 8.5TFL 5 sacks), Antionio Ross (24 tackles 4TFL 4 sacks), Jataylen Crite (24 tackles), Trae Henderson (23 tackles) bolster a tough Greyhound defense.
The Colts lead the all-time series 9-7-1 but have struggled at Newport over the years going 2-5-1. Rivercrest will look to correct that course this evening. Make plans to be there or join us online for some Rivercrest football tonight. GO COLTS!
