<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Week two is here, and it is time to look at several prime-time players for the week. It was another busy week with plenty of numbers being put up.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2389124' first='Keegan' last='Smith']-Running Back-Bald Knob-5'11” 164-Pounds-2027</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2389124' first='Keegan' last='Smith'] earned all-conference honors a season ago and is off to another great start to the season for the Bulldogs. Against McCrory, Smith had another big game this season. He rushed 16 times for 232 yards and three touchdowns. Smith is a player to watch as conference play approaches for Bald Knob.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1858209' first='Easton' last='Barksdale']-Quarterback-Sheridan-6'1” 210-Pounds-2028</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Sheridan signal caller continues to pick opposing defenses apart each time he steps on the field. Barksdale had a huge night against the Warren Lumberjacks. He was 20 of 21 for 345 yards and five touchdowns. Barksdale is having a breakout season and is a prospect to watch out for this season with the Yellowjackets.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1937067' first='Bralon' last='Thompson']-Wide Receiver-Arkansas-6'2” 185-Pounds-2027</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1937067' first='Bralon' last='Thompson'] has been a bright spot for a difficult season thus far with the Razorbacks. Thompson had another productive night to start the season against the Nashville Scrappers. This week, Thompson had 10 receptions for 158 yards and one touchdown. Thompson is a difficult receiver to account for; he mixes crisp route running with impressive speed. Thompson is a player to watch as conference play gets started.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1972086' first='Dylan' last='Smith']-Wide Receiver-Sheridan-6'0” 170-Pounds-2027</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Yellowjackets have one of the state's most prolific offenses this season. Senior wide receiver [player_tooltip player_id='1972086' first='Dylan' last='Smith'] made the most of his opportunities against Warren this week. Smith hauled in three receptions for two touchdowns in one half of action for Sheridan. Smith is a player to keep an eye on as attention now turns to conference play over the next few weeks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1416993' first='Maclane' last='Smith']-Quarterback-Dierks-6'1” 185-Pounds-2028</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1416993' first='Maclane' last='Smith'] is a quarterback who can terrorize opposing defenses in a variety of ways. He uses his legs well to pick up yards on the ground and rip off big gains. Meanwhile, he has the throwing arm to keep opposing defensive secondaries honest. Week two was a busy week for Smith, he accounted for four touchdowns and 320 all-purpose yards. Smith and the Outlaws are a group to watch this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2388887' first='Rhett' last='Holloway']-Running Back-Greenwood-5'8” 150-Pounds-2027</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='2388887' first='Rhett' last='Holloway'] had an impressive night against the Rogers Mounties in week two of the high school football season. Holloway churned out the yards in a 28-14 victory over Rogers. He had 25 carries for 170 yards and a touchdown. Holloway and the Bulldogs are dangerous entering conference play and are certainly a team to watch this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Emarion Moorhead-Defensive Line-Little Rock Mills-6'0” 285-Pounds-2029</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Emarion Moorhead has always been a standout at each Prep Redzone camp we do and he has kept that momentum rolling into the football season. Against Monticello this week, Moorhead had 7 tackles, 4 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, and 5 quarterback pressures on the night. Moorhead is a player to watch on the defensive side of the ball throughout the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1317669' first='Mason' last='Ball']-Running Back-Jacksonville-6'1” 195-Pounds-2027</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Jacksonville Titans are on a roll to start the season. Senior standout running back [player_tooltip player_id='1317669' first='Mason' last='Ball'] had an impressive night against Lake Hamilton this week. Ball had 23 carries for 199 all-purpose yards and three touchdowns.
