Millwood freshman QB Kevonte Richardson had a tough time against Bishop McGuinness. Simply put, the defending Class 4A champions took advantage of the freshman’s inexperience. In talking to Richardson and Millwood center Christian Crigler this week, I asked them about that game. Here’s what they said:
Crigler: “My No. 1 statement to Kevonte is to stay in the game. Things are going to go bad and he gets his head down but when you do that it leads to more mistakes. I stress to him to keep your head up and keep playing. We know we can overcome anything.”
Richardson: “Toward’s the end of the McGuinness game, it (the game) started slowing down. When it got into district it automatically slowed down for me. If you play against a tough defenses going into district you’ll be pretty strong.”
It’s interesting Kevonte said that because I was at that game I can remember when it seemed like the light turned on for Kevonte. Late in the 4th quarter, he started to make some plays and play with more confidence. It will be interesting to see what he does in tonight’s game with Heritage Hall. It’s his first TV experience so the nerves will be in full effect.
