This week's 8-man football report

SBLiive/High School on SI keeps you informed on the latest information on 8-man Arkansas high school football. Each week we highlight the top teams and performers from the 8-man ranks.

See the report below.

Week Zero final scores

Marshall - 82, Guy-Perkins - 0

It was a rough first night of football in Week Zero for Guy-Perkins. The Thunderbirds were overwhelmed by an improved Bobcat team. Marshall looked sharp on night one of the Cody Cassel era at Marshall. 

Cedar Ridge - 56, Rose Bud - 8

This was a conference game from a year ago. The Timberwolves return firepower at multiple positions in 2024, and made that known last week. Rose Bud looks to answer a lot of question marks going into Week One.

Corning - 62, Brinkley - 28

The Bobcats the team to beat in the Club Division 8-Man club division this fall, and might be the best 8-man team in the state. A young Brinkley Tiger squad put up a fight in the 1st half, but faltered in the 2nd. Corning now has a bye week due a late week cancellation by Rector.

Subiaco - 34, Southwest Christian - 14

Subiaco Academy now sits 2-0 after another nice road win. Despite losing crucial playmakers after 2023, high hopes and big expectations are still the standard with first-year head coach B.J. Applegate at the helm. Subiaco is back on the road for the 3rd week in a row due to the new turf field not being completed yet.

Marvell-Elaine - 54, Blevins - 0

Marvell-Elaine begins the season with a big confidence-boosting win over second-year program Blevins. The Mustangs have a new attitude this fall towards football and are looking to make some noise in the Sanctioned South conference.

Biggest Performers

Aiden Jones - Cedar Ridge 

Jones was 12-for-14 passing for 130 yards and 2 TDS. He had 66 yards rushing with 1 TD, and returned an interception for a TD on defense.

Hayden Cox - Corning

Cox ran 28 times for 218 yards and 4 TDs.
