Bulldogs throttle Har‑Ber behind Johnson twins, Hendrix in 48–27 win

Fayetteville 48, Har‑Ber 27

FAYETTEVILLE — Fayetteville lit up Harmon Field from the opening snap, riding a four‑touchdown night from RB Kaleb Johnson and three scoring throws by QB Hank Hendrix to beat Springdale Har‑Ber 48–27 in the regular‑season finale. Hendrix, a junior, distributed the ball with poise, striking early on a 69‑yard scoring pass to WR Kinyun Johnson and later finding WR Catavion Taylor and WR Jayden Nicholson for touchdowns.

Fayetteville’s defense supplied timely stops. DB Blake Johnson produced two takeaways (an interception and a fourth‑down fumble recovery), while LB Jax Tidwell, LB Spence Paladino and LB Will Price were constant presences near the line. A first‑quarter goal‑line stand preserved a 20–7 lead and the Bulldogs never looked back.

Har‑Ber showed punch behind QB Brice Owens, who accounted for three touchdowns (two rushing) and sparked chunk plays to WR Hayden Branch. RB Reed McAllister churned tough yards and TE Gibson Green moved the chains, while Brody Roland‑Reynolds converted two PATs before Fayetteville blocked another.

The win caps Fayetteville’s regular season and sends Coach Casey Dick’s Bulldogs into the playoffs with momentum; Har‑Ber continues to build under Coach Aaron Danenhauer.
