Har-Ber allows 18.4 points per Friday.
"Har-Ber's very good on offense," Bentonville coach Barry Lunney says. "It starts with an outstanding line."
Bentonville allows 16.1 points per Friday. It has scored 56 points weekly the past month. Lunney (200 career wins) raves about junior QB Dallas Hardison (5-11, 170), who completes close to 70 percent of his passes.
