HOOTENS.COM GAME OF THE WEEK
No. 1 Greenwood at No. 10 Morrilton

This game marks Rick Jones' 100th as Greenwood's coach (83-16 record). Greenwood hasn't lost to Morrilton in 18 years, and the defending state champions haven't been challenged in 2010, with four wins by an average of 47-9. Bulldog senior quarterback Hayden Smith completed 11 of 14 passes for 237 yards and three TDs and ran for two scores in last week's 42-6 win over Siloam Springs. Senior receiver Drew Morgan has more than 500 yards of offense, while his brother Derek Morgan puts more than 50 percent of his kickoffs into the end zone. Greenwood's first-team defense has given up just seven points this fall. Linebackers Brandon Boerjan (27 tackles) and Saul Palmer (22.5 tackles, four tackles for loss) pace Greenwood's stingy defense.

Morrilton has lost consecutive games in the waning moments (28-26 at Searcy in Week 3 and 32-27 at Alma last week) after starting the season with wins over Russellville and Dardanelle. "We've got to be focused and concentrate on being in the right place," Greenwood coach Rick Jones said. Morrilton junior running back Jamar Criswell has tallied more than 800 all-purpose yards this season, including 89 yards rushing at Alma. Senior Warren Leapheart (6-4, 205) caught two TD passes against Searcy.
