Kickoff is set for 8pm to help avoid some of the heat. The Colts enter their 54th season with high expectations after returning several starters from last years' squad that went 9-4 and made a trip to the 4A state quarterfinals. Coach Johnny Fleming enters his 6th year as head coach with a stellar 48-14 record. Coach Fleming and his staff look for 2023 to be special, but you have to take the games one at a time and that game tonight is against Manila. The Lions are coming off back-to-back playoff appearances for the first time in program history and have a new many leading the program. Coach Ben Fisher will be coaching his first game as a Manila Lion this evening after serving two stints as the head coach at Blytheville High School. Rivercrest leads the all-time series 13-1 and took care of business last season against the Lions. After a sluggish start saw the Colts behind 12-7 after the first quarter, Rivercrest cruised to a 47-12 win. Come out to The TEZ and support the Colts tonight. LET'S GO RED!
