Rice looks to make a statement
SOUTH BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) - The Rice Green Knights football team moved from D3 back into D2 a year ago, opening the season with three consecutive wins, and that would eventually be enough to secure a playoff berth for the second straight year. However, the honeymoon was somewaht short lived for Rice, as they dropped four straight to close the regular season before bowing out to eventual state champ North Country in the quarterfinals. This year though, Rice brings back a solid core including third year starting quarterback Dallas St. Peter, and they think they have a chance to do something special in 2024. ST. PETER: “Every year we’ve taken steps to grow stronger, faster, bigger, and now we’re that, we’re that team that, that can, uh, play very good football. And we have a bunch of chemistry coming into my third year.” POSO: “Starting getting in the weight room, getting much more, you know, stronger because as in like D three, it’s like not as much, you know, not as bigger as big, you know, and as fast, you know, we just now we’re just much more committed.” Harris: “Winning a chip. That’s the biggest thing. That’s, that’s the goal. And that’s what we’ve been working for. That’s what I’ve been working for, for my three years or two years before this, and coming in from my third year. And I think we’re capable of anything really.”
