Week four was a tremendous week of high school football in the Natural State. Week four brought with it the start of conference play in the state of Arkansas. As always, with every week during the season Prep RedZone learned a number of things over the weekend. We had plenty of standout performances from both teams and players over the weekend. Starting things off in this article with the impressive performance from Little Rock Parkview on Thursday night. Arkansas commit had a tremendous performance against a talented Greenwood Bulldogs team. Jointer rushed for five touchdowns and over 250 yards against the Bulldogs. Parkview has played well over the past few weeks and starting conference play off on the right note will be big for playoff positioning later in the season. The upset of the weekend happened in Harrison. The Harrison Goblins jumped out to 35-10 lead over the Farmington Cardinals. Both teams were wanting to keep momentum going and gain an early lead in the 5-A West Conference. Farmington got tremendous effort on both sides of the ball and were able to pull out a dramatic come from behind victory and defeat Harrison on the road 36-35. The Cardinals are hot right now and looking to continue the run. In the 7-A West Conference we learned that the Bentonville Tigers have a dangerous backfield combination at the running back position. punched the ball in the end zone five times over the weekend. came in to spell Ficklin and he displayed a willingness to run aggressively and run the defender over. Bentonville is a team to keep an eye on this season. Bentonville has the run-pass mix needed to keep the opposing defensive coordinators guessing. The Fayetteville Bulldogs opened up conference play with an impressive victory over the Bentonville West Wolverines. Quarterback found the end zone four times through the air. Oregon commit was on the receiving end of two of those touchdown passes. Fayetteville should make things interesting in conference play. Looking around the state of Arkansas. The Arkadelphia Badgers racked up an impressive victory over the Nashville Scrappers on Friday night. Arkadelphia seems to be clicking as conference play heats up this season. on the defensive side of the ball is the kind of player that can live in the opposing backfield if the opposing offensive line fails to account for him. The Badgers have the talent to make a playoff run this season. For the undefeated Booneville Bearcats, week four was pretty much business as usual. A heavy dose of and carrying the ball led to a 49-6 victory over Two Rivers. However, the same night Booneville found out that Danville does not have the players healthy enough to compete. Booneville found an opponent in Texas. Booneville will take on Timpson High School this Friday night. Should be a great game and a good test for the Bearcats.
