District 14-3A Division II
Rice Consolidated defeated Wallis Brazos 54-31 on Friday night to improve to 6-1 overall and 3-0 in District 14-3A Division II.
Brazos struck first with a field goal in the opening quarter to take a 3-0 lead. Rice answered quickly when cornerback Jerminah Grounds returned an interception of Brazos quarterback Colton Hudgins for a touchdown. On the next possession, Raiders quarterback Kordae Johnson found tight end Glenn Mills for another score, pushing Rice ahead 12-3.
Brazos responded with 13 unanswered points to take a 16-12 halftime lead. The key turning point came on the first play of the third quarter when running back Tarell “Flip” Tarver (#4) scored, swinging momentum back to the Raiders. Rice’s defense dominated the second half, intercepting Hudgins three more times and forcing a fumble while linebacker Jajawon Hicks (#7) applied consistent pressure that rattled the Cougar offense.
The Raiders now turn their attention to the I-90 rivalry next Friday against No. 5 Dave Campbell’s Texas Football-ranked East Bernard. Both teams enter the matchup at 6-1 overall and 3-0 in district play, making it a pivotal contest in the District 14-3A Division II title race. After East Bernard, Rice still has Tidehaven (1-6) and Van Vleck (3-5) remaining on the schedule.
