Friday Night Lights: Maumelle beats Vilonia

Sep 19

Maumelle 32, Vilonia 21

Last week: Maumelle never trailed in beating Vilonia, 32-21, last week as the Hornets worked without starting quarterback Andrew Bjork, injured last week against Parkview. Filling in was sophomore Levi Warrior, who lived up to his name, and threw for 133 yards, two touchdowns and in interception on a 17 of 27 night. The offensive leader was again junior running back Jacob Henry who rushed for 82 yards and two touchdowns in the win. Henry has now rushed for 396 yards and six touchdowns on the season. The Maumelle defense also stepped up as Austin Timmons returned an interception 31 yards for the pick six that put the Hornets up 20-0 with 11:30 remaining in the third quarter.
This week: No. 7 Maumelle has the week off.
Record: Maumelle, 2-1

Last week: North Little Rock continued to struggle this season after losing to Benton, 42-13, last week. The problems have mostly been offensive as it was the defense that blocked a punt and Travis Young came up with the scoop and score to account for one of the two 'Cats touchdowns last week.
This week: North Little Rock is unranked in Class 7A and will face Little Rock Catholic this Friday in a game at War Memorial Stadium. This is North Little Rock's second consecutive game against a Class 6A school. The Rockets won last week in a game played at The Star, the Dallas Cowboys glitzy practice facility in Frisco in what was dubbed the "Fourth Annual Catholic Bowl." While this game isn't called the Jones Bowl, maybe it should be as Jerry Jones is quite famously from Rose City and a North Little Rock grad, while son Stephen Jones is a Catholic alum, and also the reason the Rockets played where they did last week. The game is the Class 6A Game of the Week by hootens.com as the Rockets are ranked No. 8. It also quite the rivalry and should be a good one.
Records: North Little Rock 0-2, Catholic 1-1

This Week: CAC has the week off.
