Thursday and Friday Night Lights: Maumelle hosts Robinson for conference crown

Nov 6

Maumelle 24, Searcy 23 - OT

Last week: Maumelle had to go and make it dramatic against Searcy as the Hornets pulled off the 24-23 overtime win against the Lions. Maumelle scored first on a pass from Levi Warrior to Marshaun Wiley that was good for five yards, and then Cooper Forest made the extra point. Searcy responded with a short touchdown, but the two-point conversion that would have won the game for them was broken up in the endzone to secure the Maumelle victory. One paper, it should have never been close, as Maumelle had 426 yards of total offense to Searcy's 242 yards.
This week: In a Thursday night showdown, Maumelle will host Robinson where the winner will be the conference champion and the No. 1 seed in next week's playoffs. The loser will be the No. 2 seed and either way both teams will be at home. The 5A-Central is paired with the 5A-West this season and the No3 and No. 4 seeds will be Greenbrier and Morrilton with that order still to be determined.
Records: Maumelle - 7-2, 5-1; Robinson - 8-1, 6-0

Last week: No. 1 Bryant did what was expected and North Little Rock lost 63-8 to the Hornets, who used the game as a tuneup for this week's showdown against No. 2 Conway.
This week: Last game of the season for North Little Rock on Friday as the 'Cats look to avoid going 0-10, something that hasn't happened since 2001. Things aren't promising in that direction as Cabot will be the No. 5 seed from the Central with the winner of Little Rock Southwest and Central as the No. 6 seed.
Records: North Little Rock - 0-9, 0-6; Cabot - 3-6, 2-4

Last week: Mills stayed undefeated as they took care of business against the Mustangs in a 49-7 win.
This week: CAC is in the playoffs the following week as seeding will be determined in a game at Forrest City. Both teams are an identical 3-6 and 3-3 in the conference but this year, the league gets five teams in and the winner will be the No. 4 seed, while the loser is No. 5. This year, the 4A-2 is paired with the 4A-8 with this facing the No. 2 seed, most likely DeWitt, that would be a rematch for CAC as the Mustangs lost to the Dragons 31-7 in the season opener, while the loser gets a trip to the No. 1 seed, Warren.
Records: CAC - 3-6, 3-3; Forrest City - 3-6, 3-3
