HOOTENS.COM GAME OF THE WEEK
Class 7A No. 5 Bryant at No. 2 Greenwood
A battle of undefeated teams for sole possession atop the 7A/6A Central.
Bryant's 6-0 for the first time since 1999, and second time in school history. The Hornets edged Alma 27-24 last week, giving Coach Paul Calley his 100th victory. But Bryant's banged up. Senior running back Savonte Turner and junior power 'back Cameron Coleman have suffered season-ending injuries since beginning conference play. A year ago, Bryant returned two interceptions 90 yards and senior defensive tackle Cameron Murray recovered and returned an onside kick 60 yards for a touchdown in a 38-21 homecoming win over Greenwood.
Greenwood has mercy-ruled its three league opponents, outscoring them 94-12 in the first half. The undefeated Bulldogs clobbered Conway 56-19 last week, piling up 232 yards in the first quarter. Junior quarterback Luke Hales completed 11 of 14 passes for 300 yards and four TDs. Hales has completed 77 of 100 passes this year for 1,309 yards and 15 TDs with no interceptions. Senior receiver Ryan Padilla leads Greenwood with 50 catches for 786 yards and seven TDs. All-state senior linebacker Grant Morgan paces the Bulldogs with 71 tackles.
