After two weeks on the road, Richlands is heading back home. On Tuesday they will take on Heide Trask at 6:00 PM. Coming off of a loss in a game they were expected to win, Richlands now face the more daunting task of proving themselves against unfavorable odds.
After a string of three wins, Richlands's good fortune finally ran out last Wednesday. It was close but no cigar for Richlands as they fell 28-30 to Croatan. A silver lining for Richlands was the play of senior Emanuel Whitehead, who rushed for 134 yards and 1 touchdown. That makes it three straight good games in a row from Whitehead.
Meanwhile, Heide Trask might be getting used to good results now that the team has three wins in a row. They came out on top in a nail-biter against East Carteret, sneaking past 35-33.
Heide Trask's win lifted them to 3-3 while Richlands's loss dropped them down to 3-3. In their victory, Heide Trask relied heavily on senior Jake Johnson, who rushed for 143 yards and 3 touchdowns. Richlands will need to find a way to minimize his impact if they want to win.
