Morrilton rallied past Harrison

Morrilton 38, Harrison 34

HARRISON — Senior quarterback Maddox Berry threw five touchdown passes and senior running back Keaton Anderson‑Robinson powered in from three yards with :28 left as Morrilton rallied past Harrison on Friday at F.S. Garrison Stadium. Sophomore Elijiah Wimbley sealed it with an interception at the Morrilton 10 with :12 remaining.

Berry’s precision fueled the comeback. Champ McNabb caught two scores and repeatedly moved the sticks on the final march, while Jamarcus Sandidge hauled in touchdowns of 2 and 55 yards; Dante Cox added a 6‑yard grab. Anderson‑Robinson’s winner followed a facemask flag that set up first‑and‑goal at the 2. Linebacker Landon Boyerand end Shane Willis keyed a second‑half surge, and Dominick McCoy’s first‑half interception plus Sandidge’s long returns helped flip field position.

Harrison’s physical identity showed early. Junior quarterback Gavin Jones hit Lucas Brumley for a 46‑yard strike on fourth‑and‑8, sprinted 50 yards for a score, and later found 6‑4 target Jenner Thomas from 11 yards. Senior running back Isaiah Hale rushed for two touchdowns, and freshman kicker Truett Bardwell added three PATs. Names/positions verified against current rosters.

Both teams converted on fourth down, and special teams mattered, with Sandidge and Harrison’s Braden Bryant setting up short fields on returns.
