Richardson rushed for 119 yards on only nine carries, and also threw for 141 yards while completing 78.6% of his passes. Richardson is crushing it when it comes to rushing yards: he's rushed for at least 100 every time he's taken the field this season.
Greenville has been struggling recently as they've lost three of their last four contests, which put a noticeable dent in their 3-3 record this season. Richardson and Greenville will venture away from home to square off against Bowdon at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
