7A GAME OF THE WEEK
No. 8 Springdale Har-Ber at Class 6A GREENWOOD (7): This game was scheduled Sunday night after FS Northside canceled its game with Greenwood in reaction to a potential virus outbreak. It’ll be the first meeting for Har-Ber with Greenwood since 2009. Winless Har-Ber had its chances the past two weeks against both Jenks (Okla.) and North Little Rock. Har-Ber forced two turnovers and committed none in its 41-28 loss last Friday. Senior linebacker Will Haney (5-9, 175; 280-pound bench press) stars for Har-Ber and junior quarterback Drue McClendon has played well, Coach Chris Wood says. Har-Ber had critical dropped passes last week at North LR but no turnovers while making two interceptions. Greenwood returned the opening kick 94 yards last week, and its defense limited FS Southside to 75 yards and four first downs in a 42-3 win. The Bulldogs continue to pass it quick to receivers underneath in first-year former assistant Chris Young’s first season as head coach.
7A WEST
SPRINGDALE (7) at Farmington: Springdale dual-threat junior QB Landon Phipps has completed 14 of 18 passes (78 percent) this year for 132 yards and has ran for five TDs. Class 5A Farmington downed Heritage 24-6 two weeks ago, its first win over a Class 7A school. Farmington totaled just 91 yards in last week’s loss to Class 4A rival Prairie Grove.
BENTONVILLE (4) at Kansas City (Mo.) Rockhurst: Bentonville wowed in its opener, manhandling Conway. Bentonville seniors Cole Joyce (6-0, 220) and Keegan Stinespring (5-11, 205) are arguably the best linebacker duos in the state. Rockhurst will challenge with better linemen than Conway but not better skill players.
BENTONVILLE WEST (2) at LR Central: Both bounced back from season-opening losses to win last Friday against far less competition. LR Central beat Class 5A LR Hall while West waxed Muskogee, (Okla.) 41-0.
Fayetteville at NORTH LR (15): North LR opened last week with a 41-28 win over Har-Ber. Winless Fayetteville lost at Conway in its opener and last week to Owasso (Okla.) 31-17. Look for North LR to push around less-physical Fayetteville.
FS Southside at RUSSELLVILLE (1): FS Southside has been outscored 77-10 this season. Class 6A Russellville had last week off after beating Class 5A Morrilton 15-10 in its opener.

Clarksville at OZARK (8): This game was originally scheduled for Week 0 but postponed due to Clarksville’s second covid-19 shutdown since June. Ozark has won seven of the past 12 over Clarksville (Clarksville won 15-12 last year). Ozark must rebound from last week’s 20-19 setback to Booneville, when the Bearcats drove 90 yards for the winning TD late in the fourth quarter.
