The Colts blasted Blytheville last week 49-20 to finish the regular season with a 7-3 record and represent the 4A-3 as the #2 seed.

Two Rivercrest juniors, Eli Ezekiel and Mercuriah Vance, were selected to serve on Senator John Boozman’s Congressional Youth Cabinet. This will provide the selected high school students in Arkansas with an opportunity to influence the policy making process and better understand how Congress works. The goal of this program is to foster a lifetime commitment to civic engagement and public service. This Congressional Youth Cabinet is a nonpartisan initiative that will expose students to the importance of the legislative process and ways that citizens can get involved. Members of the cabinet will also have the opportunity to provide Senator Boozman with their own ideas about solving current issues facing young Americans. Youth cabinet members will serve a one-year term. Their term will be served with other selected students within their Congressional District. Eli and Mercuriah attended their first meeting today in Little Rock.
