𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺: https://www.youtube.com/@rivercrestathletics9884 It’s GAME DAY again…finally! The Colts were off last week, but start back with a bang this week because it’s conference season. Rivercrest will face off against the Pocahontas Redskins tonight at The TEZ. Kickoff is slated for 7pm. The Colts look to get back in the win column after dropping their last two games to highly ranked 5A schools. After what has been a challenging and injury-riddled non-conference slate, the Colts are sitting at 1-2 on the young season. QB Cavonta Washington has connected on nearly 60% of his passes for 381 yards and 5TDs. His favorite targets have been senior Michael Rainer (10 rec - 182yds 3TDs) and sophomore Budda Harris (11 rec - 172 yards 2TDs). Harris had a breakout game last week catching 10 passes for 163 yards. Wyatt Lancaster leads the Colt defense with 26 tackles, 6 tackles for a loss, 6 QB hurries, and 1.5 sacks. Joe Louis Ralph and Jayden Young have 20 and 18 tackles respectively. Young returned a fumble last week for a school record 103 yards. Coming off a 4A-3 conference championship last season, the Redskins look to make a mark on the 2023 season after starting 0-3. Pocahontas, like the Colts, played a tough non-conference schedule and are hoping it pays off. Junior QB D.J. Coffey has been the main playmaker on the ground and through the air. 6’3” 250lb senior running back, Reagan Womack, is tough to bring down and helps clear the way for the Redskins’ rushing attack. Rivercrest leads the all-time series 11-4 and is 6-1 at home with the last loss coming in 2006. Pocahontas won last year’s game 28-21. Come and out to The TEZ, get loud, and support your Colts! If you can’t make it, we’ll have all of the action live on YouTube on Rivercrest Athletics. GO COLTS!
