THE SCOOP This will be the 29th meeting of the two teams dating back to 2001, with Bentonville currently owning an 18-10 series advantage during that time. … Fayetteville snapped a lengthy regular-season losing skid against Bentonville and ended the Tigers’ 35-game conference win streak with a 42-34 victory last year at Harmon Field. … With his 389yard passing performance against Fort Smith Southside, Lindsey has thrown for 2,149 yards and 21 TDs this season. … Morris needs 73 more receiving yards to reach the 1,000-yard mark this season. … Bentonville’s win over Rogers Heritage, coupled with Rogers’ loss to Bentonville West, means the Tigers are the only unbeaten team in league play this season. … Ficklin has now scored TDs in four different ways this season — rushing, receiving, kickoff return and fumble recovery, which he did Friday when he recovered his fumble in the end zone. … After allowing 1,232 yards in games against Broken Arrow, Okla., and Conway before Bentonville’s open week, the Tigers’ defense has allowed just 1,013 yards in its last four games.
