HOOTENS.COM GAME OF THE WEEK
Class 5A No. 5 Watson Chapel at No. 1 Nashville

Nashville takes on its third straight 5A South opponent. The top-ranked Scrappers steamrolled Class 5A Hope and De Queen by a combined 97-24 the past two weeks.

Scrapper senior quarterback Joel Hendry completes almost 75 percent of his passes for 602 yards and nine touchdowns this fall, while playing on an injured knee. Nashville senior Tesean Green ran for 89 yards and two TDs and caught three passes for 41 yards and a score at Hope. Receiver Donyell King has scored TDs in both games this year, and the Scrappers feed running back Jakari Gaines the ball in multiple ways. Junior Treveon Muldrow and senior Nolan Webster topped Nashville's tackle chart the past two weeks.

Watson Chapel whipped Class 6A Siloam Springs by 24 points in the opener, but five suspended starters missed last week's 36-point loss at rival Pine Bluff. Watson Chapel starts four sophomores on the offensive line."We are worried about the matchups," Nashville coach Billy Dawson said. "We've got to tackle them, and get their offense off the field. Defensively, they are the most athletic team we'll face this year."
