Rex Nelson’s Week 1 Arkansas High School Football Rankings

Week 1 Arkansas High School Football Rankings from Rex Nelson

Editor’s Note: Each week Rex Nelson shares his Arkansas High School Football Rankings. After week one, here are Rex’s rankings. For results of games around the state, click here.

For those of us who are starved for some real high school football — not the seven-on-seven stuff they play in the summer — the first week of the season is always wonderful.

You can attend games on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday nights. That’s just what I did last week.

What did we learn?

We learned that high school football in Arkansas continues to improve, thanks in part to the aforementioned seven-on-seven activities.

Witness Bentonville’s 24-21 win over Kansas City Rockhurst.

Witness Greenwood’s 49-3 win over Sallisaw, Okla. The Greenwood winning streak now stands at 39 games.

Witness Pulaski Academy’s 37-29 win over Memphis University School.

Witness Springdale Har-Ber’s 42-35 win over a Webb City, Mo., team that came to Washington County on Friday with a 46-game winning streak.
