The Farmington signal caller was accurate and did a good job of spreading the ball around to his wide receivers. We have seen over the past few weeks Luke Elsik earn some time at the running back position to keep the defense off-balance. Wide receivers Peyton Funk and Lawson DeVault give the Cardinals big play threats at the wide receiver position.

Cooper Gardenhire Cooper Gardenhire 5'11" | 205 lbs | LB Farmington | 2023 State AR has gotten of to an excellent start from the linebacker position and is a prospect to watch out for this season. One prospect to watch out for in this matchup on the defensive side of the ball for the Cardinals is Zach Ralston. Ralston had an impressive season in 2021 and has the potential to have a strong season this season.
The Rogers Mounties have averaged 49 points per game over the past two weeks. From an offensive perspective this is a dangerous team to contend with. Rogers signal caller Dane Williams Dane Williams 6'0" | 170 lbs | QB Rogers | 2024 State AR has displayed impressive accuracy and has shown he is not afraid to throw into some tight windows. Williams is not afraid to use his legs to pick up yards on the ground.

Look for the Mounties to mix the impressive rushing attack to go along with a dangerous passing attack.
Meanwhile, on the defensive side of the ball for the Mounties. Rogers has a talented edge rusher in Bennett Tiner Bennett Tiner 6'1" | 195 lbs | DL Rogers | 2024 State AR . Tiner will not quit on a play and tends to use his speed extremely well. From the linebacker position, Ashton Alston uses his instincts well and is always in a position to make a tackle. In the secondary, keep an eye out for safety Mabry Verser Mabry Verser 6'4" | 215 lbs | WR Rogers | 2024 State AR . Verser does an excellent job of making plays on the ball and is a defensive back that can make plays in the secondary.
The Farmington-Rogers matchup is one of the better matchups in the state of Arkansas this week. Both offenses have plenty of talented prospects to watch and plenty of firepower. This is a matchup that is going to come down to watch defense can make the key stops. It should be a great game in Rogers on Friday and I look forward to being there.
