One big matchup taking place in the 5-A South conference is the matchup between Little Rock Parkview and Magnolia.

Parkview is a talented team that has the ability to light up the scoreboard. I look for the matchup against Magnolia to be a physical matchup. The Patriots defeated Texarkana a week ago and are looking to keep the momentum rolling this week against a talented Magnolia team that can light up the scoreboard as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='236139' first='Omarion' last='Robinson']-Safety-Little Rock Parkview-2025</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Robinson is one of the most dynamic playmakers on both sides of the ball in the state of Arkansas. Versatile is a good to describe the Parkview Patriot. He can make plays on the offensive side of the ball running or throwing the football. Meanwhile, on the defensive side of the ball, Robinson is a ballhawk in the Parkview secondary. He is a player that has the potential to play on Saturdays in the future.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='75128' first='Darien' last='Bennett']-Running Back-Little Rock Parkview-2023</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='75128' first='Darien' last='Bennett'] is another versatile prospect that lines up at running back and linebacker for the Patriots. From the running back perspective, Bennett explodes through the rushing lanes. He is a patient runner and sets up his blocks well. Meanwhile, from the linebacker perspective, Bennett does a great job of defeating blocks. He has the talent to terrorize opposing offenses with how quickly he gets into the offensive backfield. Keep an eye on Bennett this Friday night.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Magnolia Panthers</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Magnolia Panthers are having a solid 2022 football season. However, the Panthers are looking to shake off two back-to-back losses this Friday night against Little Rock Parkview. Magnolia runs the ball extremely well and will be looking to make use of that strong rushing attack this Friday. With playoff positioning on the line, this game has the potential to be one of the most important of the season for both teams.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='75136' first='Garrion' last='Curry']-Running Back-Magnolia-2023</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Curry is one of the most dynamic running backs in the state of Arkansas. He sets up his blocks well and does an excellent job of picking his rushing lane. Curry will run opposing defenders over but will also make a cut and run around them. He has had a tremendous 2022 season and is looking to continue his run into the playoffs. Keep an eye on Curry Friday, he is a tough running back to contain.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='485030' first='Chucky' last='Dennis']-Defensive Back-Magnolia-2023</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dennis is another prospect that plays impressively on both sides of the ball. Dennis has terrorized opposing quarterbacks with his coverage skills in the secondary. He has picked off three passes on the season and has had no problem making plays in the secondary. Dennis does a great job on the offensive side of the ball as a wide receiver. He has the speed to stretch the field and the Magnolia coaching staff does a good job of getting him involved on both sides of the ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
