It's GAME DAY and HOMECOMING! If you take the excitement of game day, add the pageantry of homecoming, and sprinkle in actual football weather, that's a recipe for a great evening of Friday night lights at The TEZ. The homecoming ceremony will start around 6:25pm with the game slated to kickoff at 7pm.
After throttling Harrisburg last week 69-14, the Colts, under the helm of Johnny Fleming, are 3-2 on the season and just one of three teams with a 2-0 start in the 4A-3 conference. QB Cavonta Washington completes nearly 63% of his passes and has thrown for 709 yards and 10TDs. ATH Michael Rainer continues to do Michael Rainer things, leading the Colts in rushing 342 yards 6TDs) and receiving (290 yards 4TDs) and has 2 special teams scores on the year. Rainer now holds school records for career receptions, receiving yards, and receiving TDs. RB Koby Turner is averaging over 14 yards/carry and has 245 rushing yards and 4TDs. WR Budda Harris has 249 yards receiving and 4TDs. That Colt defense is led by DE Wyatt Lancaster with 52 tackles, 8 TFL, 3.5 sacks, and 2 forced fumbles. S Jayden Young and DT Quinshunn Perry have 32 and 24 tackles respectively.
Coach Bobby Engle's Westside Warriors and their power running attack are trying to hunt down their first win on the season. The Warriors sit at 0-5 overall and 0-2 in conference. Westside dropped their game to Blytheville last week, 30-0.
The Colts lead the all-time series 13-2 and won last year's contest 42-14. This is the second time the Colts have faced Westside in their homecoming game with the other matchup coming in 2005 (W 33-20).
Dress a little warmer, come out early, and cheer on your Rivercrest Colts. If you can't make it, be sure to check out Rivercrest Athletics' YouTube channel for all of the action. GO COLTS!
