CYPRESS — Jersey Village High School senior football player Raymond Richardson was selected as the Fox 26 Greater Houston Honda Player of the Week, yesterday (Sept. 12, 2018), following his five-touchdown performance in the Falcons’ 50-48 win over Cinco Ranch in week two action.
Fox 26 reporter Nate Griffin visited Jersey Village on Sept. 12 for a brief ceremony as Richardson stood among his teammates and coaches. He compiled 371 yards of total offense against Cinco Ranch to go with the five scores, passing for 248 yards and rushing for 123 more.
“I was very excited,” Richardson said. “I am truly honored for this award. When they announced my name, I just could not believe it. My heart skipped a beat. Overall, all I can say is I couldn’t have done it without my teammates.”
