Prep RedZone Arkansas Matchup Preview Bryant Vs Conway

Bryant and Conway is the matchup that people have had circled on the calendar this season and it is finally here this week. Both teams come into this matchup with only one loss and this has the potential to be a hard-hitting affair on Friday night. The Bryant Hornets come in as the defending state champions and looking to build momentum for a strong playoff push. We are going to take a look at both teams and give a preview for the matchup on Friday night. Looking first at the visiting Bryant Hornets. The Bryant offense is one of the most productive in the state of Arkansas and seem to be clicking at the right time. The Hornets always have a quality signal caller that drives the offense down the field and this season is no different with [player_tooltip player_id="214915" first="Carson" last="Burnett"] as the quarterback. Burnett has thrown 19 touchdown passes this season and has the arm strength to stretch the field deep. Meanwhile on the ground, make good use of [player_tooltip player_id="152083" first="Chris" last="Gannaway"] who has racked up 635 yards this season. [player_tooltip player_id="214915" first="Carson" last="Burnett"] has also displayed a willingness to pick up yards on the ground as well this season. The Conway defense will need to find a way to contain an explosive Bryant offense. Meanwhile on the defensive side of the ball, the Hornets are one of the scrappiest units in the state. The Bryant secondary led by Miguel Graham makes life difficult on opposing offensive coordinators. Graham is the type of player that is always around the football and the opposing quarterbacks have been forced to account for him this season. Another player, the Wampus Cats offensive line must account for is Jaylon Brown this Friday night. This is going to be one of the most physical matchups of the season. Turning our attention to the Conway Wampus Cats. The Wampus Cats have become one of the most explosive offenses in the state this season. Sophomore quarterback [player_tooltip player_id="214836" first="Donovyn" last="Omolo"] has made explosive plays in the passing game as well as using his legs to pick up yardage. The Wampus Cats will look to get the ball to [player_tooltip player_id="75084" first="Manny" last="Smith"] early and often this week Smith is a threat to take it the distance from anywhere on the field. The Conway offense has been a roll since an early season loss to Fayetteville. The Wampus Cats offense will be difficult to attempt to slow down. On the defensive side of the ball for the Wampus Cats, containing the Bryant rushing attack is going to be a difficult task on Friday night. Linebacker Jayden Robinson is going to be leaned on this week to contain that powerful rushing attack Bryant produces. Keep an eye out for [player_tooltip player_id="92760" first="Troy" last="Wiseman"] in the secondary. The senior cornerback is an impressive cover corner who can make plays on the football. This is a matchup that should go well into the fourth quarter to be a matchup that goes right down to the wire.
