HOOTENS.COM GAME OF THE WEEK
No. 2 Pine Bluff at No. 6 Lake Hamilton
Pine Bluff's defense carried the Zebras last week to a 9-3 win at Bryant. Pine Bluff rushed for 316 yards but failed to score four times inside the red zone (two turnovers on downs and two missed field goals). Sophomore quarterback Ladarrius Skelton, senior tailback Trevor Hunt, junior TB Kentorius White, sophomore TB Romar Reades and sophomore receiver Kacy Higgins rushed for close to 50 yards apiece. Higgins dashed 16 yards for the game's only touchdown. Sophomore end John Tate and senior linebacker Kedrek Lasley deflected a pass and intercepted a pass, respectively, to end Bryant's last two drives.
Lake Hamilton has beaten Marion, Sheridan and Texarkana by an average of 29 points the past three weeks. The Wolves' first-team defense held Texarkana to less than 50 yards in last week's 37-15 win. Athletic senior QB Nathan Sawrie has generated 1,144 yards and nine TDs this fall, leading Lake Hamilton with 48 carries for 394 yards (8.2 yards per carry). Sawrie (seven interceptions) must make better decisions against a talented Pine Bluff defense. Senior receiver Trevor Mittelstadt paces the Wolves with 22 catches for 371 yards and three TDs. Senior running back/linebacker Chris Eastburn gains 6.9 yards per play and has eight rushing TDs.
