Week 1 Arkansas High School Football Rankings from Rex Nelson
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.
