Rex’s Rankings: 2 Weeks into Arkansas High School Football

Editor’s Note: The Arkansas high school football season is underway, and Rex Nelson shares his Arkansas High School Football Rankings, featured on his Southern Fried Blog.

Two weeks of the high school football season are in the books.

Highlights of Week 2:

• The longest current winning streak in the state — Junction City at 41 games — came to an end at the hands of Rison.
• Pulaski Academy, a week after ending Highland Park’s 84-game home winning streak down in Texas, came back down to earth a bit. The Bruins won but struggled for three quarters in a 35-21 victory over Wynne. Still, it’s hard to see anyone else winning the Class 5A title at this point.
• Pine Bluff, Fayetteville and Bentonville all posted easy victories. The cream is already rising to the top.
• One of the most exciting games of the week was Cabot’s 40-33 victory over Little Rock Catholic at War Memorial Stadium. Both teams are improved over last year.

Let’s get to the rankings:
