Ricebirds, Bluejays Set for High-Stakes Rematch

The El Campo Ricebirds put their unbeaten streak on the line tonight at home as they welcome the surging Needville Bluejays for a rematch of last year’s thriller. El Campo narrowly won 31-28 in double overtime, but Needville broke the Ricebirds’ three-game series streak with a big win that season. Now 2-1, the Bluejays shocked defending state champion Columbus last week and return nine starters from last year’s playoff team. El Campo aims to stay perfect while facing a Needville offense averaging over 300 yards per game.
