Last week:Maumelle finished as conference runners-up after losing to Robinson last Thursday, 37-15. The mercy rule was on after Robsononsin jumped out to a 37-0 lead in the third quarter before the Hornets added two touchdowns late to make the score more respectable. Maumelle actually outgained Robinson in total offensive yards, 339 to 282 but, scoreboard, you know.
This week: Maumelle hosts Greenbrier in the first round of the Class 5A playoffs. The Hornets are the No. 2 seed, while Greenbrier is the No. 3 seed from the West after returning to 5A this season, after previously being a 6A school. Greenbrier's best player is Enoch Assan, a junior running back with nearly 2,000 yards rushing and 22 touchdowns. Hootens.com has Greenbrier favored. Both teams have played and beaten Vilonia, with Maumelle winning 32-21, while Greenbrier won, 21-0. The winner of this game would face the winner of Wynne-Little Rock Parkview next week.
Records: Maumelle - 7-3; Greenbrier - 7-3:

Forrest City 36, CAC 14
Last week: CAC ends the regular season as the No.5 seed from the 4A-2 and the Mustangs reward is a trip to perennial state championship contender Warren. Gulp and double gulp. The Mustangs ended as the No. 5 after losing to Forrest City last Friday.
This week: Warren, coached by Bo Hembree, has won four state titles, and probably a couple more as state championship game officiating has been spotty at best over the years, but mostly thinking of the Nashville-Warren game in 2006 and before this crop of high school students were born, because that's what happens when you're old. Warren beat CAC in the third round that 2006 season as well. The winner of this game will get the winner of Nashville and Pocahontas. Best case scenario for the Mustangs, no injuries, so nobody misses any basketball, and that things don't get too out of hand.
Records: CAC - 3-7; Warren - 8-2
