The Rison Wildcats travel to Monticello Friday to face the improving Drew Central Pirates in a key 8-3A matchup with playoff implications. Kickoff is at 7 p.m. Drew Central, 3-3 overall and 2-1 in conference, has shown major progress after last season’s two-win campaign, led by senior quarterback Tra’Bennet Fuller and running back Tyviance Wormley. Rison (1-2 in league play) seeks to recover from consecutive overtime and last-play losses. Coach Chris Vereen emphasized ball security and tackling as priorities, noting the Wildcats must “see the big picture” and win to keep playoff hopes alive.
