Football regular season wraps up

The season is on the line for the Morrilton High School football team on Friday as the Devil Dogs travel to Harrison to take on the Goblins in the final game of the regular season. The winner of this one earns the fourth and final playoff spot from the 5A West. The Devil Dogs won at Harrison last season, 38-34, and Coach Cody McMabb says his team will have to play well to have a chance to extend their season…

“We’re going to have to play our best football game, I really feel like, to be able to get a win tonight, but I think our kids know that, I think they’re excited about that, and I think they’re up for the challenge,” McNabb said…

Kickoff from Harrison is scheduled for 7:00 p.m., and we’ll have all the action for you live on 101.7 KVOM and online at kvom.com. You can also watch the livestream with our audio broadcast on the Morrilton High School Dawg Trax channel on YouTube. Coverage starts with the Perry County Coaches’ Show at 5:30 p.m. That will be followed by the RARN High School Gameday Show at 5:45 and the Devil Dog Coach’s Show with Coach McNabb at 6:20 before our live broadcast with Eric Tyler and Jim Bowles at around 6:45…

The other games in the 5A West Friday night are Dardanelle at Clarksville, Alma at Greenwood, and Farmington at Pea Ridge, none of which have playoff implications…

The Perryville High School football team overcame a big first-half deficit to take down Conway Christian, 35-34, on Senior Night at Jesse Boshears Mustang Stadium on Friday. The win is the fifth straight for the Mustangs, who finish the regular season 6-4, 5-2 in the 3A-4 Conference. As the conference’s #3 seed, Perryville will host a first-round playoff game next week…

In games involving other area teams from Thursday night, Atkins dominated Danville, 52-16; Dover was walloped by Waldron, 33-0; Two Rivers was cut down by Cutter Morning Star, 40-6; and Quitman manhandled Mountain View, 31-21…

Bigelow wraps up its regular season Friday night at Hector in a game that determines which team gets the #3 seed from the 2A-1 Conference for the playoffs and which team gets the #4 seed. Panther Coach Luke Starks expects it to be a tight game between two evenly matched teams…

“I think it’ll be a good matchup,” Starks said. “They have a new coach over there, and their offense looks completely different than what they did last year. This year I think it’s Single Wing, so it’s going to be another physical game. We just have to keep their skill kids boxed up…”

Kickoff from Hector is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. You can hear more from Coach Starks and from Perryville Coach Justin Hamilton in the Perry County Coaches’ Show at 5:30 Friday afternoon on KVOM…

Games involving other area teams Friday night are Pottsville at home against Booneville, Russellville at home against Siloam Springs, Conway at Bryant, Greenbrier at Vilonia, Mayflower at home against Bald Knob, and Clinton at Heber Springs…
