Riverdale Academy plays its first home game of the new football year. Friday night they host Prentiss Christian Academy. The game kicks off at 7:00 pm. Coach Jared Barber is looking for his second win of his coaching career.

Last week the Rebels traveled to Rebul Academy in Learned, Mississippi. They won the opening game on a rainy night 46-20. That game was interrupted by lightning. Loyal Riverdale fans donned raingear and rode out the one-hour-plus delay.

Come out and support the team. And bring your electronic device because Riverdale’s game Friday night will be streamed live on The Journal’s web page and social media site. Go to http://www.RedRiverParishJournal.com and click on “listen live.”
