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.
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.
