HOOTENS.COM GAME OF THE WEEK
No. 9 Shiloh Christian at No. 10 Prairie Grove
This game helps decide the conference championship (although undefeated Pea Ridge plays both in the final four weeks). Shiloh Christian has won four of the past five in the series, including 27-20 a year ago. The Saints led Huntsville 21-0 at halftime last week and invoked the 35-point sportsmanship rule after two Huntsville special teams errors. Junior QB Connor Reece completes 61 percent of his passes for more than 600 yards and seven TDs in four games this fall. Junior Oklahoma move-in Broc Berus averages 6.7 yards per carry, and has developed into a defensive leader. Berus left the Huntsville game with a pinched nerve but was cleared for this week, Shiloh Christian coach Jeff Conaway said. Shiloh Christian linebacker Jacob Plunkett likely misses his third straight game with a separated shoulder.

Prairie Grove has won four straight since losing at Class 5A Farmington by 16 points in the opener. The Tigers beat Huntsville and Gravette the past two weeks by a combined 92-40. Tiger running back Blake Faulk accounted for 238 yards and five TDs in last week's 25-point win over Gravette. Senior tight end Dylan Soehner has five TD catches, while senior Dakota Hutchinson serves as a team leader on the offensive line and at middle linebacker. "Shiloh spreads it around and keeps you off balance," Prairie Grove coach Danny Abshier said.

Eight Heber Springs players were injured in a bus accident after last week's 33-point loss at Stuttgart, one was transported to Arkansas Children's Hospital with a broken jaw and hip, but should be released in two weeks.

Raider senior Kirby Kenney, caught six passes for 57 yards, recorded a safety and returned an interception 13 yards for a TD.

Undefeated Pocahontas scored 48 first-half points last week against Harrisburg. Pocahontas junior inside linebacker Sloan Rogers paces the Redskins with 55 tackles.
Cave City at JONESBORO WESTSIDE (1): Its homecoming at Jonesboro Westside, and the winless Warriors give up 42 ppg.
