The East Poinsett County Warriors will hit the road for the first time this season to square off against the Rivercrest Colts at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
East Poinsett County is leaving town to face Rivercrest after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. East Poinsett County was beaten by Walnut Ridge 37-0 last Friday.
Meanwhile, Rivercrest didn't have too much trouble with Gosnell at home on Friday as they won 29-14. The Colts pushed the score to 29-6 by the end of the third, a deficit the Pirates cut but never quite recovered from.
While passing duties were split, you can't argue with the impact Cavonta Washington and Jayden Young both made on the contest. Washington rushed for 52 yards and two touchdowns while Young gained 114 total yards and a touchdown. Young got the majority of those receiving yards when he pulled down a pass and took off for a gain of 76 yards. Joe Louis Ralph was in the mix as well, providing Rivercrest with a touchdowns.
Rivercrest's defense was in the mix too, especially the secondary: they snagged two passes before it was all said and done. In fact, those interceptions all came courtesy of defensive juggernaut Young. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, making four total tackles and defending three passes in addition to snagging two interceptions.
