The Riverside Bulldogs (2-0) will host the St. Albert Falcons (0-2) in a big Class A District 9 football game on Friday night and we’ll have coverage on KJAN. The Bulldogs have played well in their two opening wins over Red Oak and West Monona. Riverside Head Coach Darrell Frain said the guys have met the challenges placed in front of them by the coaching staff so far.

Quarterback Austin Kremkoski has completed 61% of his passes for 273 yards and 3 touchdowns so far. He has also racked up 149 rushing yards and 3 more scores. Rhett Bentley has been the workhorse tailback with 235 yards and 5 scores so far this year. St. Albert Head Coach Jake Driver said they will have a challenge to slow down the Bulldogs backfield.

The Falcons have faced some really tough competition to start the year. They opened with a loss to a top-5 ranked Lewis Central team out of Class 3A. They then had a physical battle with Logan-Magnolia in week 2. Coach Driver said his team is trying to move past those games and focus on the next task.

The Falcons have some experience and speed, especially on the edges and Coach Frain said they will need to try to contain a faster opponent.
