The regular season in high school football concludes this week, and the game we’ve been waiting on will be played this Friday night.

It’s No. 1 Bryant against No. 2 Conway.

Bryant posted a 24-12 victory over North Little Rock last Friday night, while Conway defeated Little Rock Catholic by a final score of 35-7.

Bryant and Conway also are No. 1 and No. 2 in Class 7A, of course.

The No. 1 team in Class 6A coming into last week, Lake Hamilton, fell 42-41 to Benton. Lake Hamilton went for two to win the game late and failed.

The No. 1 teams in the other four classifications all won.

Pulaski Academy defeated Beebe 58-14 in Class 5A.

Shiloh Christian beat Gravette 62-12 in Class 4A.
