IT’S GAMEDAY and your Colts will make the short trip up I-55 to play a tough Blytheville Chickasaws team. Kickoff is slated for 7pm.
The Colts are 6-3, 5-1 in conference and cemented their spot as the #2 seed out of the 4A-3 after outscoring Trumann 42-32 last Friday. Blytheville started the year strong and a 3 game skid has them sitting at 5-4, 3-3 in conference, but gave Pocahontas a tough game Friday. The Chickasaws lost that game 32-22, but it was a 4-point game late in the 3rd quarter and that was with Blytheville losing 4 turnovers and turning the ball over on downs three times inside the 13 yard line.
The Chickasaws are big, strong, and fast and are led by junior ballcarrier Tim Brown. Brown is 3rd in 4A with 1,249 rushing yards. He’s run for 14TDs and is averaging a whopping 10.5 yards/carry. RB Ingram Battles is a great change-of-pace back to complement Brown. Blytheville sophomore QB Jontavious Johnson has thrown for 1,029 yards and 10TDs. He was 21/35 for 287 yards and 3TDs against Pocahontas last week. He spreads it out to good receiving corp led by senior Levin Reed. Reed has 16 receptions for 342 yards and 4TDs. He pulled down 5 passes for 107 yards and 2 scores against Pocahontas. Tyrin Walker and Nadarrius Wilson have 271 yards and 127 yards respectively. On defense, they are led by sophomore Chris Hatcher who has 94 tackles, 26 TFL (#1 in 4A), and 1.5 sacks. Sophomore defensive back Derick King has snagged 3 interceptions.
The Colts have been led by do-it-all junior Michael Rainer. Rainer has 34 receptions for 685 yards (#5 in 4A) and 11TDs (#2 in 4A). He ran for a career-high 163 yards last week vs. Trumann. Junior running back Koby Turner has 982 rushing yards and 18TDs (#3 in 4A). Rivercrest counters with a sophomore signal-caller of their own in Cavonta Washington. Washington has thrown for 1,128 yards and 13TDs and has run for 378 yards and 5 more scores. On defense, a ton of production has come from Marcus Slayton, Wyatt Lancaster, and Trent Kimbrough. Slayton has 105 tackles (#4 in 4A) and 21TFL (#4 in 4A). Lancaster has 94 tackles, 22TFL (#3 in 4A), and 8 sacks (#2 in 4A). Kimbrough has 72 tackles, 22TFL (#3 in 4A), and 2.5 sacks.
The Colts lead the all-time series 4-1-1. Rivercrest has won the last two games in this series. Come out and cheer on the red and gray. GO COLTS!
