HOOTENS.COM GAME OF THE WEEK
No. 13 Earle at No. 9 Rison
Earle comes off back-to-back losses to No. 5 Harrisburg and at No. 7 Cave City, where it managed to score just eight points. The last time Earle was held to single digits was in a 22-8 loss at Marked Tree Week 10, 2006. Earle senior RBs Mike Wilson and Mike Bowles have rushed for more than 2,500 yards and 30 TDs this season. Rison is 55-25 (69 percent) in the postseason and has also lost its past two games, 19-16 at No. 18 Parkers Chapel and 42-35 to No. 6 Prescott. Rison sophomore RB Raphael "Rock" Caldwell has rushed for more than 1,600 yards this year after carring the football ball 35 times for 210 yards and four TDs in last week's loss to Prescott.

Magnet Cove at MANSFIELD (10): No. 19 Magnet Cove has won three of its past four games and averages 32 ppg. The Panthers lost by just four points to No. 14 Bauxite Week 4. Mansfield enters the playoffs having won six straight games where it allowed just 6 ppg, including three shutouts.
No. 4 RIVERCREST has a bye.
Episcopal at BAUXITE (14): Episcopal won four of its past five games to earn its second playoff berth in school history. No. 14 Bauxite has won five games in a row after it lost to No. 2 Fountain Lake 37-7 Week 5; its other loss came Week 1 to Class 4A No. 4 Bald Knob 26-13.

Mayflower at LAVACA (3): Mayflower makes its fifth consecutive playoff appearance after it finished third in the 3-3A. Mayflower junior RB Demetris Lasker has rushed for 1,289 yards and 18 TDs this season. Lavaca averages 17 points and allows 18 points per game. The Golden Arrows have not missed the postseason since 2003.
Cedarville at GLEN ROSE (6): Cedarville won three league games by an average of 19 points and lost to No. 10 Mansfield and No. 15 Lavaca by a combined 11 points. No. 16 Glen Rose missed a PAT that would have tied the game late in the fourth quarter in last week's 28-27 loss to Bauxite. The Beavers average 29 points and allow 28 points per game.
Atkins at BARTON (14): Atkins earned the No. 5 seed from the 4-3A after Lamar was forced to forfeit five of its six league wins. Barton has won three of the past four games; it lost 22-20 at Riverview Week 9.

No. 2 FOUNTAIN LAKE has a bye.
Parkers Chapel at PARIS (1): Parkers Chapel's first playoff appearance in school history comes on the heels of its Week 9 upset of Rison 19-16. Parkers Chapel allows 13 ppg.

CAVE CITY (13) at Yellville-Summit: No. 7 Cave City's only loss came at No. 5 Harrisburg 26-7 Week 8 when it lost senior RB Tyler Engleman (ACL) for the remainder of the season. The Caveman defense dismantled Earle's offense (43 ppg) in last week's 28-8 win where senior LB Thamail Morgan returned an interception 43 yards and a fumble recovery 70 yards for TDs. Yellville-Summit ended a tragic start to its season by reeling off four straight wins to earn the No. 3 seed from the 4-3A.
Green Forest at CAMDEN HARMONY GROVE (12): Green Forest hopes it will not repeat last year's postseason performance, losing in the first round to Magnet Cove 27-7.  No. 17 Harmony Grove has won five of its past six games, including a 26-7 win against No. 18 Parkers Chapel Week 8. The Hornet defense held No. 6 Prescott (34 ppg) and No. 9 Rison (37 ppg) to 19 and 21 points, respectively.
Jessieville at HARRISBURG (28): Jessieville has lost three of its past four games. Its last postseason victory was a 36-13 win against Hampton in the first round of the 2007 playoffs.

Harrisburg junior QB Zach Davis has completed 155 passes for 2,676 yards and 23 TDs, while senior WR Jake Streeter leads the team with 45 catches for 911 yards and 12 TDs.
