HOOTENS.COM GAME OF THE WEEK
No. 3 Camden Fairview at No. 9 White Hall
Camden Fairview has won or tied for six conference titles in the past seven seasons, while White Hall has won two in eight years. Camden Fairview has won three straight games since losing to Class 6A El Dorado 28-21 in the opener. The Cardinals struggled through homecoming last week, extending a 26-20 halftime led into a 25-point win over Hot Springs Lakeside. Senior Kimonte Wilson returned an interception 73 yards for a touchdown and scampered 34 yards for a score. Wilson has 12 carries for 205 yards and two TDs this year, and he's made 18 tackles and notched a pair of defensive scores. Cardinal junior QB Logan Reed has passed for 765 yards and six TDs with five interceptions, while Cornelius Page has 13 catches for 207 yards and a TD in three games. Junior D.J. Franklin has 42 carries for 387 yards (9.2 yards per carry) and five TDs. "They are so fast, you make one mistake and they are gone," White Hall coach Mike Vaughn says.
White Hall counters with a stout defense that has given up seven points the past two weeks. Senior QB Kirk Baugh has passed for more than 800 yards this year. He completed 17 of 31 passes for 189 yards and two TDs and rushed 16 times for 113 yards in last week's 10-point win at Magnolia. Baugh was offered a scholarship by UCA in the summer. "He's our man," Vaughn says. Baugh had a 97-yard TD run negated by a penalty 40 yards behind the play in a 12-0 win at Sheridan Week 3. Senior running back Kendrick Edgerson has played in just two games this season after tearing his ACL in December "and he's day-to-day," the coach says. "He won't be his old self for another three or four months."
