In the first two games, the Ricebirds struggled, going 0-2 with just 14 points. But since star senior Oliver Miles returned, they’re on fire, beating C.C. Veterans Memorial, Wharton, and Navasota. Miles, a Texas Tech commit, shines with a 61% completion rate and 128 rushing yards per game, including a 70-yard rush. Ja’Kwaun Hudlin adds over 100 rushing yards and touchdowns. Defensively, they’ve allowed under 20 points in their last two games. Their win against Navasota was crucial for the district opener. Next, they face a tough challenge on the road against Bay City, a former top-ten team.
