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.
Fuller Chandler threw a six-yard touchdown pass to Trey Smith with just six seconds remaining in the game, and Springdale Har-Ber defeated Fayetteville by a final score of 47-43 in Springdale. We had Fayetteville ranked No. 2 in the state and Har-Ber No. 3 coming into the game.
Just two weeks ago, Har-Ber was No. 9. But that was before back-to-back victories over Bentonville (31-21) and Fayetteville.
Meanwhile, the No. 1 Pine Bluff Zebras recorded its fourth consecutive shutout with a 35-0 victory over Little Rock Hall. The Zebras have outscored their past four opponents 157-0.
Here are the rankings after seven weeks of the high school football season:
