HOOTENS.COM GAME OF THE WEEK

No. 8 Bryant at No. 6 Conway.
Bryant is likely Conway's final hurdle to winning back-to-back 7A Central titles. Conway rallied to beat North LR 20-17 two weeks ago and won at LR Central 26-14 last Friday. Conway quarterback Tyler Langley completed 14 of 22 passes for 209 yards last week. Bryant is also 3-0 in league action but must still play at North LR and host to LR Central. The Hornets rallied in the fourth quarter to beat Russellville 38-21 last Friday when Karon Dismuke carried 17 times for 201 yards. Last season Bryant upset Conway 34-30 in double overtime. Hootens.com had Bryant ranked No. 7 and Conway No. 3 when they met in 2010.
