He is a quarterback that can make all the throws in the Conway offense. Last week, Omolo passed for 320 yards and two touchdowns in route to a victory over North Little Rock. The Conway signal caller does a great job of extending the play and moving around enough to find an open wide receiver. He is a prospect to watch out for this Friday night.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='308244' first='Wade' last='Simpson']-Linebacker-Conway-2023</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Conway linebacker has had a tremendous 2022 football season. Simpson is a linebacker that is all over the field for the Wampus Cats. He does a good job of using his speed to get off of blocks and disrupting the play in the offensive backfield. Simpson does an impressive job of playing the run and the pass. He is a player that will stick out on Friday night this week.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Cabot Panthers</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Cabot Panthers enters the matchup with Conway undefeated in conference play.

Jimmerson does a great job of catching the ball out of the backfield. Cabot runs the ball well and Jimmerson is a running back that I would expect to see get some carries on Friday night. The Panthers have always been a team that can run the ball well and this should be a great matchup on Friday.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='468274' first='Abe' last='Owen']-Quarterback-Cabot-2023</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Owen is a signal caller that can throw the ball effectively and keep the opposing defense honest. Meanwhile, he is not afraid to use his legs to pick up yards on the ground. He throws and accurate ball and is dangerous when he gets outside the pocket. Look for the Panthers to mix that strong rushing attack with some passes. The matchup Friday night has the potential to be a great one.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
