HOOTENS.COM GAME OF THE WEEK
No. 2 Watson Chapel at Pine Bluff.
Preseason favorite Watson Chapel staring at a 0-2 start. The undersized Wildcats can't maul opponents like previous years, but they are athletic enough to make plays and score at any time. They've beaten Pine Bluff two straight times, including 22-20 a year ago and 18-15 in the 2009 Class 6A quarterfinals. Senior running back Aaron Lagrone ran for 125 yards and two touchdowns and returned a kickoff 83 yards for another score in last week's loss against Class 4A Shiloh Christian. Wildcat senior quarterback/defensive back Kyle Coleman tallied 53 total yards and intercepted a pass against Shiloh Christian.

Pine Bluff plowed over Class 7A Fort Smith Northside 51-35 a week ago when senior running back Jawahn Hunt ran for 376 yards and five TDs. Pine Bluff's physical linemen dominated FS Northside and should control Watson Chapel's undersized line.

Searcy junior QB Dezmond Stegall scored four TDs and senior B.J. Slaughter caught two TD passes, intercepted two passes and returned a punt for a TD in last week's 56-0 win over North Pulaski.

5A SOUTHWEST
SHERIDAN (2) at Arkadelphia: Sheridan's field goal on the final play gave the Yellowjackets a three-point win last year, which they later forfeited for using an ineligible player. The Yellowjackets managed just 237 yards and nine first downs (132 yards came on two plays) in an opening 14-point loss at Harrison.
CAMDEN FAIRVIEW (25) at DeQueen: Both teams coming off losses. Class 6A favorite El Dorado racked up 427 yards and handled Camden Fairview by 30 points last week. DeQueen lost by 23 points at Mena.
MAGNOLIA (3) at Haynesville, La.: Magnolia has beaten the small-school juggernaut each of the past four seasons.
CAC (21) at LR McClellan: Little Rock McClellan didn't pick up a first down and gave up 55 points at Ashdown a week ago. CAC sophomore QB Dylan Sherrill passed the ball well in last week's 26-point setback to Pulaski Academy.
ASHDOWN (2) at Hope: The Panthers shutout Class 6A Little Rock McClellan a week ago, and they've held opponents to a TD in less in five of their past 14 games. Hope senior Erik Garcia kicked a 42-yard field goal against Nashville last week.
MALVERN (6) at HS Lakeside: Malvern senior tailback Dontail Henson ran for 121 yards and senior receiver/safety James King returned an interception 55 yards for the game-clinching TD in last week's eight-point win over Arkadelphia. Hot Springs Lakeside first-year coach Jared McBride matched last year's victory total with a seven-point win over White Hall.
HOT SPRINGS (3) at Glen Rose: Hot Springs led Pulaski Robinson 21-20 at halftime last week but the Trojans couldn't generate much second-half offense. Glen Rose senior running back Steven Kehner rushed for 288 yards against Bauxite.
SYLVAN HILLS (1) at LR Christian: Little Rock Christian's offense didn't have any punch at Pulaski Oak Grove, finishing with just 202 total yards. Sylvan Hills lacks experience at the skill positions.

5A WEST
Alma at SALLISAW, OKLA. (1): Sallisaw's strong offensive linemen and running backs test Alma's sturdy defensive line. The Airedales gave up more than 400 yards in last week's surprising sportsmanship rule loss to rival Van Buren.
St. Louis Lift for Life Academy (Mo.) at GREENWOOD (35): The winless charter school features mostly underclassmen. Greenwood senior QB Stephen Hogan passed for 300 yards and three TDs in last week's 25-point win over Sallisaw, Okla.

HERITAGE (17) at Siloam Springs: Siloam Springs sophomore QB Austin Van Poucke threw four TD passes in his varsity debut against Claremore (Okla.) Sequoyah last week. Van Poucke's emergence could allow the Panthers to move Braden Pippen to different positions.
Wynne at VILONIA (2): Both teams rely on stout running attacks. Vilonia junior back James Sax ran for more than 100 yards in last week's 28-point win over Sylvan Hills.
