RNN Sports: Stone Cold Lock Of The Week: WEEK 10

Well…. We are here. The last week of the regular season. It’s the week of Senior Nights for some. A bit of playoff seeding juggling. Sadly, for some it will be the last time they put those pads on and try to represent their town or corner of the world. Others though….. It’s the hope that next week starts a new season. The Playoffs. For several area teams their season is about to get much more interesting.

I would like to personally thank all the people, the school districts, the teams that reached out to Greenwood this past week and continue to do so. I am the sideline videographer for Greenwood Football and what I have witnessed in the past week has been just incredible. Sadly, Saturday night we lost another Greenwood student in an accident. Please continue to pray for the families of Wendy and Vivian Medrano, Isaiah Arrington and Kylynn Nolan. It has been a tough week in Greenwood and the support has been immeasurable.

We are creeping up on the Stone Cold Lock Of The Week: Dudes Of The Year Team. Is there a Kicker that performed well? Is there a Nose Guard or Defensive Tackle that had a great season full of stats? Let us know! Or we will pick the wrong guys, and you will talk about the roster being wrong to your friends. You don’t want that, do you? Looking to do a 1st team and 2nd team. Coaches! Reach out to Adam or I. I know I am not hard to find on Facebook.

Stone Cold Lock Of The Week

Mountain Home vs Greenwood

The Bombers make their 6th trip to Smith-Robinson to try and play spoiler of Greenwood’s Senior Night. The 8-1 Bombers sit in the Number Two spot behind the Bulldogs and could break the home game winning streak by Greenwood. The Bulldogs are also carrying a twenty-two-game winning streak on top of the offensive fireworks they are providing. Junior QB Kane Archer tied the state record of eight TDs in half while breaking the school record of seven set by Tyler Wilson, enroute to a 70-28 win over Southside. Greenwood’s defense has been stout all year allowing a conference best of 148 points.

The Others

West Fork vs Mansfield

Greenwood was not the only team to break the 60-point mark, the Mansfield Tigers went to Northwest Arkansas and left with a 66-20 victory over the Greenland Pirates. Sixty-six points…… this is after defeating 3A Powerhouse Booneville the week before that. These Tigers are leaving no doubt as to what they are wanting to do leaving it all on the field. A win tonight over West Fork ensures without a doubt they are the #1 seed in the 3A-1 heading into next weeks Playoffs.

Greenland vs Charleston

As the Charleston Tigers head into Week 10. The regular season and conference trek could be summed up by one phrase; “Close Games against great teams”, each one of the Tigers losses this season were by three points or less. Pottsville, Ozark, Mansfield, and Booneville won against Charleston, but they certainly were not cake walks for them. Greenland is coming into tonight’s game at 4-5 on the season but 2-4 in conference behind West Fork.

Lamar vs Waldron

Lamar made headlines for self-reporting playing an ineligible player against Pottsville. The playoff picture in the 4A-4 is wild with a conference title being decided tonight Northeast of Waldron, when 8-1 Dardanelle and 9-0 Mena clash on the banks of the Arkansas River in Dardanelle. The Bulldogs will be looking to continue to build upon this season with wins against Paris and Ozark.

Booneville vs Lavaca

Hunter Warren put in a Dax Goff-esque performance against Charleston in a 48-45 win. 31 carries for 301 yards with a touchdown in every quarter was enough to beat the Tigers. A close loss to Mansfield two weeks ago, a close win against Charleston, will have the Bearcats ready to pounce against Lavaca.

Hector vs Magazine

Magazine is looking to close out the regular season with a win over the 5-4 Hector Wildcats

Hackett vs Cedarville

This season has not been kind to the Hackett Hornets. They travel into Crawford County to take on the 1-8 Cedarville Pirates to close out the season.

Two-Rivers vs Paris

Paris looks to end a 4-game skid tonight against the 0-9 Two Rivers Gators. Currently the Eagles are looking at getting in as a possible 5th seed in the Class 3A playoffs.
