Last meeting and storyline

The teams last met on Feb. 10, 2025, at St. Johnsbury Academy, where the Hilltoppers rolled to a 65-18 victory. That lopsided result gives St. Johnsbury momentum and a blueprint to defend against Rice’s attack; for Rice, Tuesday is a chance for redemption in front of the home crowd at Rice Memorial High School.

What to watch

• Can Rice Memorial tighten its defense and close the gap after the heavy loss in the teams’ previous meeting?

• Will St. Johnsbury keep the pressure on and carry the same balance that produced a dominant showing last time out?
