Rison and Hoxie go head to head on Friday at 7:00 PM in their first playoff matchup of the year. Hoxie will need to watch out since Rison have now posted big point totals in their last four contests.
Hoxie have relied on a stalwart defense averaging points allowed per game, but that average took a hit last week. They took a hard 27-44 fall against Walnut Ridge. Hoxie's loss came about despite a quality game from senior Chandler Spradlin, who picked up 99 yards on the ground on 16 carries and threw 2 TDs. Senior Chandler Spradlin has been one of their standout athletes in their past eight games.
Meanwhile, if there were any doubts about the heavy odds in favor of Rison coming into their game against Dollarway last Friday, the squad laid those doubts to rest. Rison put a hurting on Dollarway to the tune of 59-6.
Rison's victory lifted them to 10-0 while Hoxie's defeat dropped them down to 5-5. We'll find out if Rison can add another positive mark to their record or if Hoxie can shake off the defeat and take the spring out of Rison's step.
