The Riverwood Raiders will take on the Creekview Grizzlies at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. Riverwood is looking for their season?s first win.
Last Friday, Riverwood had to suffer through a 50-7 loss at the hands of Sequoyah. The Raiders were in a tough position after the first half, with the score already sitting at 36-7.
Meanwhile, winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Creekview). They claimed a resounding 63-20 victory over Lassiter at home. The high-scoring effort was just what the Grizzlies needed considering they were shutout in their previous match.
It was another big night for Austin Guest, who rushed for 75 yards and three touchdowns, and also threw for 229 yards and three touchdowns on only 19 passes. Mason Munn was another key player, rushing for 93 yards and a touchdown on only 11 carries.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Creekview was moving up and down the field and finished the game with 499 total yards. That's the most total yards they've posted since back in October of 2023.
Riverwood's defeat dropped their record down to 0-4. As for Creekview, they pushed their record up to 3-1 with that win, which was their third straight at home.
Riverwood beat Creekview 35-28 in their previous meeting back in October of 2021. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was Creekview's Mason Hicks, who rushed for 144 yards and a touchdown on only 15 carries, and also threw for 130 yards and three touchdowns. Now that he won't be playing on Friday, will it be easier for Riverwood to walk away with another win? Check MaxPreps.com after the match to find out.
