HOOTENS.COM GAME OF THE WEEK
No. 3 Jonesboro at No. 7 Marion (Thursday)
Jonesboro earns a share of the 6A East title and the No. 1 playoff seed with a victory. Marion could earn a share of the league title with a win and a Searcy loss. Marion is currently tied with West Memphis for the No. 3 playoff seed, but West Memphis owns the head-to-head tiebreaker. The Patriots likely finish as the No. 4 playoff seed and will host the No. 5 seed from the west. Marion has won two straight in this series, including 38-25 in 2018.
Marion won 28-6 last week at Jacksonville. Marion senior playmaker Slade Webb snagged a 48-yard TD pass and returned an interception 62 yards for another score. Webb, who averages more than 23 yards per reception, missed six weeks with a broken collarbone, but his return has reinvigorated the Marion passing game. Junior quarterback Daedrick Cail completes 60 percent of his passes for more than 2,200 yards and 29 touchdowns with 10 interceptions. Senior all-state running back Anthony Price has run for 848 yards and eight scores this season. Senior receiver Cayden Hunt has caught a team-high 34 passes for 461 yards and five TDs. Senior Ruzel Rucks has logged more than 80 tackles for a defense that has limited two of its past three opponents to six points or fewer. 
Jonesboro rolled Sylvan Hills 31-7 a week ago behind junior running back Albert George's 119 rushing yards and two TDs. George has rushed for 1,000 yards and 11 TDs this year, averaging 8.5 yards per carry. Senior receiver Dryden Bartels has snagged 38 passes for 608 yards and seven scores as junior QB Cross Jumper's (1,222 yards passing and 10 TDs) top target. Senior Arkansas commit Jashaud Stewart (team-high 87 tackles, 18 for losses and 11 sacks) leads a defense that has limited seven opponents to two TDs or less.
