IT’S GAMEDAY…and your Rivercrest Colts will travel to take on preseason 4A-3 favorite, Pocahontas. Kickoff is slated for 7pm.
The Colts dropped to 1-2 overall on the season after coming up short against 5A Valley View two weeks ago 37-34. The Colts come in averaging just over 38 points per contest. Early on, Rivercrest has leaned on junior RB Koby Turner who has rushed for 382yds and 6TDs while averaging 9.1 yards/carry. QB/WR Michael Rainer and WR Jaden Stovall have put up solid numbers. On defense, the Colts have been led by LB Marcus Slayton, DT Trent Kimbrough, and DE Wyatt Lancaster.
Pocahontas is 2-1 on the year after dispatching of Brookland a couple of weeks ago, 47-28. Like the Colts, the Redskins only loss on the season came to a 5A team. Pocahontas lost a close one in week 2 to Nettleton, 26-21. Senior QB/DE Connor Baker (6’0” 210) is the player that makes them go. Baker ran for over 2,200 yards and 42 TDs last season and is one of the fastest and most powerful runners in the state. Baker has really improved his passing this season and has some good ones to throw it to led by 6’3” 190 senior Harrison Carter. Tripp Risley is a major part of that receiving corp as well. Sophomore RB Reagan Womack (6’2” 220) will flank Baker in the backfield. WR Grayson Mauppin is a playmaker who does a great job running the football as well. The Pocahontas defense was expected to be a strength returning 9 of 11 starters and they definitely have been so far this season.
The Colts lead the series 11-3. The Colts won last year’s matchup 61-41. The last Pocahontas win in this series came in 2007, 47-17.
Head to Pocahontas this evening to enjoy some fall weather, high school football, and to cheer on your Colts. GO COLTS!
