FS Southside at CABOT (13): Cabot looks to rally from last week’s 28-26 loss to LR Catholic against struggling FS Southside. Southside has scored just 16 points per game in its three losses and won only at hapless Heritage 35-7.
LR Central at FS NORTHSIDE (3): Could be close. Northside just got mercy-ruled by Bryant, and LR Central’s OL is winning more battles than previous seasons.
7A WEST
Van Buren at BENTONVILLE (13): Bentonville in the driver’s seat of the West conference, playing stellar, speedy defense. Upstart Van Buren rolled Rogers 55-7 last week and likely is headed to the playoffs, perhaps hosting a first-round game Nov. 15.
Rogers at FAYETTEVILLE (35): Fayetteville’s three-game skid ends with receivers running wild and free all night on a winless and near defenseless Rogers team (allows 51.2 PPG) and has played a lot of man coverage.
HAR-BER (35) at Heritage: Har-Ber lost to league leader Bentonville 35-21 last Friday and hammers out its frustration at Heritage. It will be Heritage’s 48th loss in the past 50 games.
BENTONVILLE WEST (7) at Springdale: West covered last week’s 3-point spread, winning at Fayetteville 35-17. West’s offensive line should have its way against a struggling Springdale defense.

El Dorado at GREENWOOD (21): Greenwood beat El Dorado 44-27 in 2018. El Dorado QB Eli Shepherd completed 20 of 26 passes for 285 yards and two TDs in last week’s 40-21 loss to Lake Hamilton.

VILONIA (24) at Huntsville: Upstart Vilonia has won seven straight over Huntsville, including last year by 29 points. Vilonia ambushed winless Alma 36-8 last week, with sophomore QB Austin Myers taking advantage of Alma overloading the box to stuff the run and hitting senior Tyler Moran on a pair of 35-yard TD passes in the first quarter. Senior Draven Smith ran for a pair of TDs, including a 70-yarder in the second quarter. Huntsville scores 11.5 ppg, and the Eagles had just 38 yards last week against Greenbrier.
HARRISON (18) at Clarksville: Undefeated Harrison puts up 373 yards and 39 ppg. Senior QB Ben Johnson, who alternated at QB the first three games, took most of the snaps last week, running 17 times for 170 yards and two TDs.

Winless Alma averages 16 ppg. The Airedales trailed Vilonia 22-0 at halftime last week and lost 36-8. Senior QB Landon Blair has thrown seven TDs this fall (five passing, two rushing).
