HOOTENS.COM GAME OF THE WEEK
No. 9 El Dorado at No. 6 Jonesboro
Winner advances to quarterfinals next week at Benton. El Dorado eliminated Jonesboro in the 2011 and 2013 Class 6A state semifinals. El Dorado (38-25 playoff record) enters the playoffs on a three-game winning streak, where it's outscored opponents 125-22. El Dorado receivers Devunte Kidd and Steven Tollette make big plays for junior QB Eli Shepherd. Senior end Quentin Frazier has more than 130 tackles this season. 
Jonesboro (17-26-1 playoff record) led Marion 19-7 in the fourth quarter last Thursday, but surrendered 20 unanswered points in the final frame of a 34-25 loss. Jonesboro needed only a win to secure the No. 1 seed from the 6A East, but tumbled to the No. 4 seed because of head-to-head losses to West Memphis and Marion.
