Richmond Randle (TX) leads Iowa Colony (TX) 28-21 in 3rd quarter: Live updates, score of Thursday night showdown between undefeated teams
originally appeared on The Sporting News
So far this season, Richmond Randle has been one of the more impressive teams in Texas.
Fresh off of winning a state title last season in just their third year of varsity football, the Lions haven’t missed a beat, going 4-0 and have moved up to No. 2 in the latest edition of The Sporting News Top 25 Texas rankings. Last week, they rolled past a solid Fort Bend Marshall squad, 51-6, in their opening game of District 9-5A Division II action.
But Thursday, the Lions face another undefeated squad in Iowa Colony. Like Randle, the Pioneers also come in at 4-0, having defeated Baytown Lee, 57-0, in their District 9-5A Division II opener.
Both teams also feature stellar offensive standouts. Iowa Colony quarterback Carson White has thrown for 617 yards and 14 TDs while adding more than 200 yards rushing and four TDs. Randle is led by junior tailback Landen Williams-Callis, who has 863 yards and 14 TDs.

HALFTIME

– Iowa Colony forced to punt near its 30, but the SNAP IS HIGH, and the punter has to fall on it near his 5. A great opportunity for Randle here.

An absolute DIME from Iowa Colony’s @CarsonWhite2027 to Ian Hill (@_IanBHill) to put the Pioneers on the board first!
White (6’1, 200) holds 20 offers from Baylor, Auburn, Kansas State and more.
Hill (5’10, 165) holds offers from Pitt & Lamar. @dctf | #txhsfbpic.twitter.com/ytx4Wk9PgO

– Randle standout tailback Landen Williams-Callis breaks off a huge run into Iowa Colony territory, but he fumbles the ball, and the Pioneers make the recovery.
– Iowa Colony wins the toss and defers to the second half, so Randle will have the ball to start things off.
PREGAME
– Live from Rosenberg, it’s a battle of two 4-0 teams as Iowa Colony gets set to take on Richmond Randle.
