🌟Mrs. Opal caught Weston Blake and Jake Gore going above and beyond by helping to clean the gym after the mini-Olympics. Your efforts are truly appreciated!
🌟 Mrs. Lancaster saw Jimmy Atchley supporting his fellow students, helping with phone bins, and taking on extra responsibilities without hesitation. You're a true team player!
🌟 And a special shoutout to Logan Parks, who Mrs. Lawrence saw taking the initiative to clean up a mess in the cafeteria, even though it wasn’t his. Way to exceed expectations!
You all make our school proud! Keep up the fantastic work!

The Colts use an offensive outburst in a constant rain to take down EPC for homecoming 56-32.
EPC took advantage of any early turnover to give them an 8-0 lead and that's the last time the Colts would be down. On the next possession, Cavonta Washington found Buddah Harris for a 44 yard TD strike. Jakavion Williams ran in the 2 points to even the score 8-8. The Colts found paydirt again when Washington found Keiran Morris for a 27 yard scoring toss to make it 14-8. With 1:13 to go before half, Washington laid out a beautiful pass over a Warrior defender into the hands of Harris from 19 yards out. The Colts led 20-8 at the half.
Both teams combined to score 45 points in the 3rd quarter. Rivercrest got it started when Washington passed downfield to Jakavion Williams and Williams jab stepped and motored the distance for a 36 yard TD to extend the Colt lead 26-8. EPC would score and get the 2 point to make it a 26-16 game. On the ensuing onside kick, Joe Louis Ralph jumped up and grabbed the kick and streaked down the right sideline for a 48 yard TD. Washington connected with Jayden Young on the 2 point and the Colts led 34-16. EPC didn't waste time as they scored 8 and made it a 34-24 contest. Washington would punch it in from a yard out with 5 minutes remaining in the 3rd. Washington tossed it to Harris in the endzone for the 2 point and the Colts led 42-24. After a 37 yard punt return by Jayden Young, Washington hooked up with Harris again; this time from 13 yards out. Hunter Ellis notced the extra point and Rivercrest led 49-24. With 8:07 to go in the game, Washington found Harris once again for a 46 yard scoring pass. Deric Edgell kicked the point after to give the Colts a 56-24 lead. EPC would take on 8 points late to set the final 56-32.
Cavonta Washington had a huge night going 16/19 passing for 259 yards and tied a school record with 6 TD passes. He also ran 15 times for 113 yards and a score. WR Buddah Harris caught 7 passes for 133 yards and tied a school record with 4 TD catches. Keiran Morris had 3 catches for 49 yards and a TD. Terry Gentry ran 6 times for 44 yards. On defense, the Colts were led by Tekylun Sanders' 8 tackles, 3 TFL, 1 QB hurry, 1 forced fumble, and a half sack. Jakavion Williams had 6 tackles, 2 TFL, and a forced fumble. Andrew Lomack had 5 stops, 3 TFL, and a half sack.

IT’S GAME DAY….and HOMECOMING! Your Rivercrest Colts will host the EPC Warriors this evening with kickoff scheduled for 7pm. Homecoming field ceremony begins at 6:25pm.
Despite the fact these school are less than 13 miles apart, this will be their first matchup since 2013. EPC was off last week but lost their opener a couple of weeks back 37-0 to Walnut Ridge.
The Colts are 1-0 on the season after beating Gosnell in their opener last week 29-14. Despite battling effects from being sick, senior QB Cavonta Washington threw for 164 yards and a TD and added 2 more scores on the ground. Jayden Young had 81 yards receiving including a 76 yard TD catch and snagged 2 interceptions from his safety position. Tekylun Sanders and Andrew Lomack lead the Colt defense with 8 and 7 tackles. Joe Louis Ralph had 5 tackles, 2 TFL, and forced and returned a fumble for a 59 yard score last week. K Hunter Ellis was 3 for 3 on extra points.
The Colts lead the all-time series 10-3-1 but EPC has taken the last two matchups (29-17 in 2012 and 28-27 in 2013). The Colts will look to right that ship tonight. The rain should be moving out and it looks like it’ll be a good night for high school football. GO COLTS!
The Reading Rainbows enjoyed the morning in the library listening to Mrs. Lancaster read The Sky Tree by Thomas Locker. Then the students used scratch art to make leaves to put the finishing touches on the library’s fall bulletin board.
The deadline has been extended!

Rain or shine Rivercrest has the best staff all of the time!
RSD distributed Colt umbrellas to show appreciation to our amazing faculty and staff members. Your dedication and hard work shines even on the rainiest days!
Mr. Stoddard's FFA students and Mrs. Cain's Fashion students paired up today to take measurements for the FFA jackets. It was a win-win, Mrs. Cain's class learned the first steps in tailoring using a tape measure, and Mr. Stoddard's students now have their measurements to order new jackets! It was a great partnership and we hope to work together more in the future.
The RJHS and 7th grade football games scheduled for tonight, September 12 have been canceled due to inclement weather.
We want to thank Whitney, Justin, Cory, and Justin from Nucor and Nucor Yamato for visiting Rivercrest! We are excited to explore ways in which Nucor can be a partner in our students' education and career exploration experiences.
