IT’S GAMEDAY and your Rivercrest Colts will hit the road this evening to take on the Westside Warriors in Joneboro, AR. Kickoff is slated for 7pm.
The Colts improved to 2-3 overall and 1-1 in the 4A-3 conference after hammering Harrisburg last Friday 46-13. Westside enters the evening with a 1-4 overall record and an 0-2 conference mark. Last week, the Warriors dropped their game against Blytheville 47-7.
Rivercrest holds a 12-2 series advantage over Westside. The Colts won last year’s game 35-14 although Rivercrest and Westside have split their last 4 meetings.
The Colts have leaned hard on RB Koby Turner who has rushed for 565 yards and 10TDs while averaging 9 yards/carry. QB/WR Michael Rainer has done a bit of everything this season. He’s second on the team in rushing and leads the team in receiving with 311 yards and 4 scores. He’s also returned a punt for a touchdown. QB Cavonta Washington has connected on 72.2% of his passes for 506 yards and 6TDs. LB Marcus Slayton leads the Rivercrest defense with 59 tackles. DT Trent Kimbrough has 43 tackles and a team-leading 13 tackles for loss. DE Wyatt Lancaster has notched 41 tackles and leads the defense with 6 QB hurries.
Make plans to head to Jonesboro this evening to cheer on the Colts. If you can’t make it, all of the action will be brought to you LIVE on our Rivercrest Athletics YouTube channel. GO COLTS!

IT’S GAMEDAY and HOMECOMING for your Rivercrest Colts as they play host to the Harrisburg Hornets. Homecoming activities begin at 6:20pm with kickoff slated for 7pm.
After a tough non-conference schedule and dropping a close one to Pocahontas last week, the Colts enter this contest 1-3 overall and 0-1 in conference. Harrisburg sits at 2-2 on the year and 0-1 in conference after losing to Blytheville last Friday 38-0. Manila has been the only common opponent for both teams. Rivercrest won their match-up 47-12 and Harrisburg won two weeks ago 10-6.
The Hornet offense is led by sophomore QB Eastin Gray who has thrown for 413 yards and 3TDs and has run for 154 yards and 4 scores. Gray’s favorite target has been senior wideout Trey Davis who has 196 yards receiving and is averaging a ridiculous 39.6 yards/reception. Harrisburg is led in rushing by junior Gavin Kimble who has 289 rushing yards and a score.
The Colts have been led by junior running back Koby Turner who has 450 yards and 8TDs. Turner averages 8 yards/carry. Junior Michael Rainer leads the Colts in receiving with 201 yards and 3TDs. Rivercrest has a sophomore QB of their own in Cavonta Washington. Washington has completed 72% of his passes for 350 yards and 5TDs. On defense, the Colts have been led by LB Marcus Slayton, DT Trent Kimbrough, and DE Wyatt Lancaster. Slayton has 54 tackles (13.5 tackles/game). That’s good for 3rd in 4A in total tackles and 3rd in the state overall for tackles/game.
Rivercrest leads the overall series 19-2. The Colts’ last game and win against Harrisburg came in a 41-26 victory back in 2013.
We’ll have amazing weather, homecoming activities, and great high school football action this evening so come out and support the red and gray. GO COLTS!
