HOOTENS.COM GAME OF THE WEEK
No. 13 Glen Rose at No. 12 Rivercrest
Glen Rose has advanced past the first round of the playoffs five straight seasons, going 10-4 in postseason play during that stretch. The young Beavers led at halftime in two of their three losses this year, including last week's 13-point setback to Prescott.

Sophomore receiver Kyle Petersen paces the Beavers with 554 yards and six TDs. Senior linebacker Brandon Kettell leads the team with almost 100 tackles. "I watched them play Friday night," Rivercrest coach Kelly Chandler says. "They went toe-to-toe with Prescott. They're a good ball club and are well-coached."

Rivercrest has won three in a row since losing to Earle by 20 points. The Colts beat Hoxie 23-21 last week after trailing 21-10 in the fourth quarter. Junior QB Phillip Porter threw two TD passes to senior receiver Tay Baber, including the game-winner with three seconds left. Senior QB Robert Cooney left the game late in the second quarter with an ankle injury. Cooney (1,579 yards and 19 TDs in 2011) is listed as day-to-day. Senior receiver Dalton Taylor averages 18.2 yards per catch. Senior playmaker Ty Baber has 743 all-purpose yards and five TDs. Senior linebacker Dustin Manuel paces the Colts with 104 tackles and four sacks. "They're not real big up front but are extremely fast on the edges," Glen Rose coach Mark Kehner says. "They've got three or four skill kids who, obviously, we can't catch if we make a mistake."
