Expect Some Shuffling in Arkansas Prep Rankings

Bryant, Bentonville get big wins in Week 0

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Don't be surprised to see some shakeup in the Arkansas Sports Media football rankings after Week 0.

Just not a lot at the very top.

Top-ranked Bryant started it's quest for a fifth straight championship by steamrolling Benton in the annual Salt Bowl at War Memorial Stadium,

Second-ranked Conway didn't play but No. 3 North Little Rock took a 23-6 whipping from Little Rock Catholic and that's going to cause some shakeups.

Especially with both Bentonville schools winning against teams from Oklahoma.

Bentonville High won what turned into a track meet against Broken Arrow, 56-46. Maybe more surprising was Bentonville West rolling past Booker T. Washington out of Tulsa, 28-6.

People that know more about high school athletics than me have been telling me all summer not to sleep on West. Some have said they may be the best team in 7A-West.

Fifth-ranked Fayetteville came close at No. 8 Cabot before losing with eight seconds left in the game.

In the lower classifications, No. 2 Warren couldn't figure out a way to stop third-ranked Stuttgart in the fourth quarter and the Ricebirds squeaked out a 31-28 win.
