BETWEEN THE LINES Clarksvill­e has as many victories this season as it did in the last three years combined. … A win will give the Panthers their first five-win season since 2011. … Brothers Nicholas and Bryce Buckner, sons of Clarksvill­e head coach Khris Buckner, combined for 162 of the Panthers’ 230 rushing yards in last week’s loss to Farmington. Bryce Buckner ran for two touchdowns and threw for another. … Bryce Buckner is also the team’s second-leading tackler with 33, just one before linebacker Eduardo Almaraz. … Harrison currently has a 10-game conference win streak. … The Goblins defeated Morrilton last week without completing a pass, but QB Ben Johnson ran for 170 yards and two touchdowns. … Harrison RB Gabe Huskey has 72 career rushing TDs, which would put him 10th in the Arkansas Activities Associatio­n record book. He needs five more to more into eighth place and seven more to take the No. 7 spot.
