It wasn’t a good week on the road for North of the River football teams as Maumelle and Central Arkansas Christian both lost last Friday night at Morrilton and Clinton, while North Little Rock won at Jonesboro to spoil the Hurricane homecoming.
Maumelle and CAC will both be at home this week hosting, respectively, Watson Chapel and Dover while the ‘Cats are headed to Fort Smith Northside.
With six teams getting in from the 7A-Central, North Little Rock has already qualified for the playoffs, while Maumelle and CAC would need to win all the remaining games on their respective schedules and get some help around the conferences to make it in.
Both the Hornets and Mustangs have winnable games this week as their opponents are a combined 3-12.
Hootens.com Rankings: Maumelle stays at No. 22 in 5A while Watson Chapel is No. 27.
Last week: Morrilton never trailed as the Devil Dogs ran off to a 35-14 win at home against Maumelle. Quarterback Weston Pierce passed for 132 yards and a touchdown. Pierce has now thrown for 967 yards and seven touchdowns this season despite missing playing time due to injury. Pierce’s top target is Alan Timmons, who 9 catches for 97 yards last Friday and leads the team with 22 catches for 334 yards.
Hootens.com Rankings: CAC drops to No. 38 in 4A, while Dover is No. 43.
Last week: The Mustangs didn’t have any trouble of offense against Pottsville as quarterback Grayson Wilson passed for 292 yards and four touchdowns, while freshman sensation Jacob Henry had 166 yards receiving on seven catches and five of those were touchdowns. It was just the Pottsville offense also had its way in the 63-45 win.
Hootens.com Rankings: North Little Rock stays at No. 8 in Class 7A, while Northside is right behind at No. 9.
Last week: Running back Javonte Harris led the North Little Rock offense with 138 rushing yards and a touchdown.

Worth noting Jonesboro and Little Rock Southwest play this week, with the winner being the likely No. 6 seed from the 7A-Central.
