2024 SBLive Football Top 25 Arkansas high school football rankings

1. Bryant (4-0)

The Hornets have been impressive through the first three games with victories over Benton, Christian Brothers and Parkview. Bryant rolled to an easy 62-13 win over Central on Friday.

2. Fayetteville (3-1)

The Bulldogs bounced back of their first loss of the season with a resounding 49-21 victory over Bentonville West.

3. Greenwood (4-0)

One of the more impressive Friday night wins was by Greenwood, as they rolled to a 28-17 victory over Shiloh Christian. Solid win for the Bulldogs.

4. Little Rock Parkview (3-1)

Just about two weeks ago, Parkview's 27-game winning streak was snapped by Bryant (see No. 1). Now with a week off, the Patriots breezed by Hot Springs, 52-14.

5. Conway (4-0)

With a player like University of Arkansas commit Grayson Wilson under center, Conway remains a legitimate threat in Class 7A.

6. Pulaski Academy (4-0)

The Pulaski Academy boys are off and running at 4-0 and coming off a 47-0 defeat of North Little Rock on Friday night.

7. Benton (3-1)

The Panthers are averaging a cool 51.0 points per game over the last three contests played. Now Benton will gear up for a road trip versus Sylvan Hills.

8. Mountain Home (4-0)

We've got to move Mountain Home up this week after soundly defeating Fort Smith Southside 50-35. Next up is a meeting with

9. Marion (3-1)

Patriots made easy work of Sylvan Hills and cruised to a 45-7 victory. Next is a trip on the road against El Dorado.

10. Little Rock Christian (3-1)

The Warriors are currently averaging 34.2 points per game and will be back at home and have a titanic tilt with No. 1 Bryant this week.

11. Shiloh Christian (2-2)

Shiloh Christian suffered its second loss of the season in a 28-17 decision against Greenwood. Tough to knock these guys too far down because of the competition level they've faced.

12. Bentonville (1-3)

The Tigers finally picked up win No. 1 of the season when they routed Har-Ber, 55-21. It was a nice victory and can make it two in a row next week versus Northside on the road.

13. Lake Hamilton (3-1)

Senior running back Hayden Barton has been the team's workhorse, rushing for 480 yards and seven touchdowns.

14. Fort Smith Southside (3-1)

Southside drops down several spots after dropped its first game of the season, 50-35 to Mountain Home. They'll look to rebound next week against Lake Hamilton on the road.

15. Little Rock Catholic (4-0)

The Rockets keep the good times rolling in an impressive 26-6 victory over El Dorado on Friday night.

16. Cabot (1-3)

Hard to drop Cabot out of the rankings despite the three losses. A narrow 28-24 loss to Little Rock Christian keeps them among one of the state's best.

17. Joe T. Robinson (3-1)

The Senators look to make it four wins in a row when they take on Jacksonville on the road upcoming.

18. Valley View (4-0)

Drew Gartman has been the team's workhorse out of the backfield, scoring a team-high six rushing touchdowns.

19. Bentonville West (0-4)

Another team we're having a hard time booting off the rankings because of their difficulty schedule wise is Bentonville West. Latest loss came against Fayetteville, the No. 2 team in the state.

20. Rogers (3-1)

After taking a week off, the Mountaineers rolled to a 35-7 rout of Northside. They'll look to continue their winning ways versus No. 2 Fayetteville.

21. Hot Springs Lakeside (3-1)

Needing plenty of offense, the Rams pulled off a 43-36 victory over Camden Fairview this past Friday.

22. Elkins (4-0)

Another week and another Elks' win. Elkins rolled to a 45-20 victory over Gentry last week.

23. Prescott (4-0)

The Curley Wolves made easy work of Fouke, cruising to a 43-8 victory.

24. Springdale (4-0)

One of the hottest offenses right now is that of the Bulldogs, who are averaging 45.7 points per game this fall.

25. Beebe (3-1)

Got to like how the Badgers took care of business in a 22-0 rout of Maumelle on Friday night. That earned Beebe the last spot in this week's rankings.
