IT’S GAME DAY! Your Rivercrest Colts will travel to Forrest City for what will be the first game of three straight on the road.
You don’t come across a lot of firsts after being in your 55th season as a program, but tonight will be the first time Rivercrest and Forrest City have played in football.
The Colts are 2-0 on year after beating Gosnell (29-14) and EPC (56-32). QB Cavonta Washington had an efficient and huge game last week going 16/19 for 259 yards and tied a school record with 6TD passes. He also ran for 113 yards and a score. On the year, Washington has completed 71.4% of his passes for 423 yards and 7TDs and has run for 165 yards and 3 scores. WR Buddah Harris snagged 7 passes for 133 yards and tied a school record with 4TD receptions last week. Harris leads a talented receiving corp with 176 yards and 4TDs. Jayden Young (115yds 1TD), Jakavion Williams (84yds 1TD), and Keiran Morris (67yds 1TD) round out that talented group. Tekylun Sanders has led the Colt defense so far this year with 16 tackles and 4 TFL. Andrew Lomack has 12 stops and 5 TFL. Joe Louis Ralph, in 2 weeks, has a 59 yard fumble return for a TD and a 48 yard kickoff return TD.
The Forrest City Mustangs program is led by first year coach and former NFL player, Reggie Swinton. Dakwon Scott is a true dual threat QB who leads the Mustang offense. His favorite target a year ago was Roderick Tiswell who had over 700 yards receiving and 7 scores and has 4.5 speed. Fellow wideout Jacori Buchannan is dangerous having run a 10.7 one hundred meters. OL Kylin Daniels (6’5” 300) helps pave the way for running back Kevin Young (295lb bench & 500lb squat).
Make plans to head to Smith Stadium at Forrest City, AR and cheer on the red and gray. GO COLTS!
