Rivercrest School District is working with the Mississippi County Sheriff’s Department to ensure an affidavit is completed regarding the recent social media threats against the school. This affidavit will be used to petition a judge for a search warrant to gather relevant information from Snapchat. If an identity can be determined, Superintendent Mike Cox plans to prosecute to the full extent of the law. In addition, if any student is found to be responsible for these social media threats, Mr. Cox will recommend expulsion from Rivercrest.

It’s the third week of Rivercrest football and we finally reach the first game day at The TEZ for the 2022 season. The Colts will face an always formidable foe in the 5A East Valley View Blazers. Kickoff is set for 7pm.
The Colts dropped to 1-1 on the young season after coming up short in a shootout against an ultra-athletic Mills team in Little Rock last Friday. After Valley View lost their opener 51-35 to Arkansas high school power Harding Academy, the Blazers bounced back with a stifling defensive effort in a 16-2 win over Poplar Bluff, MO.
Although Harding Academy did most of their damage against Valley View through the air, the Blazer defense kept consistent pressure on the quarterback all night. That defense is led by 6’3” 225lb junior linebacker Brian Huff. Huff holds multiple D1 offers from Arkansas, Arkansas St., and Memphis. Huff also reeled in and returned the pick-6 against the Colts late in the game last season to give the Blazers the lead and helped seal the 26-19 Valley View win. Valley View is led on offense by junior dual-threat QB Carson Turley. Last Friday, Turley threw for 180yds and 2TDs and ran for 62yds. His favorite target is 6’5” wideout Jackson Harmon who had 72yds and a TD against the Colts a year ago. RB Slade Caldwell is a plus for Valley View in the backfield. He ran 22 times for 90yds last Friday night.
The Colts come in averaging 390 yards of offense per game with 258 of those coming on the ground. The Colt ground game has been led by junior RB Koby Turner who has churned out 100+yd rushing games in each of Rivercrest’s first two contests. Turner has rushed for 235yds and 4TDs on the season while averaging right at 9 yards per carry. Cavonta Washington and Michael Rainer have taken turns at the helm for the Colts at QB. On defense, the Colts have been led by LB Marcus Slayton, DT Trent Kimbrough, and DE Wyatt Lancaster.
It’s going to be a great night of Rivercrest football. Come out to The TEZ and cheer on the red and gray! GO COLTS!
