Conway 63, North Little Rock 7

• Last week: North Little Rock hit for its average last week in a 63-7 loss to Conway. The ‘Cats had been averaging 7.5 points and scored exactly a touchdown in a blowout loss to highly-ranked Wampus Cats, led by former CAC quarterback Grayson Wilson, who has committed to Arkansas. 

• This week: Despite being 0-5, the ‘Cats are still in contention for the Class 7A playoffs but they have to beat a winless Little Rock Southwest team this Friday at North Little Rock. Neither team is particularly good this season but in its brief history, Southwest – an amalgamation of the previous McClellan and J.A. Fair high schools – has yet to beat North Little Rock. The win in this game last season is what got the ‘Cats on the playoff track.

• Records: North Little Rock - 0-5, 0-2; Southwest - 0-5, 0-2

CAC 42, Riverview 14

• Last week: The Mustangs got the first win of the season in a 42-14 shellacking of Riverview. Key to the win was freshman quarterback Jackson Plumlee, son of coach JD Plumlee, who passed for nearly 200 yards and two touchdowns in the win. 

• This week: With five teams making the playoffs from the 4A-2, the Mustangs would be in good position to make the postseason with a win at Hall, in a game that would be played at nearby Scott Field. 

• Records: CAC - 1-4, 1-1; Hall 2-3, 1-1
