FARMINGTON 41, PRAIRIE GROVE 40

The Cardinals survived a late rally by rival Prairie Grove to claim a one-point win Saturday in 5A-West action.

However, because Farmington’s win was by a single point, the Cardinals fell to the No. 4 seed from the conference for next week’s playoffs. Prairie Grove, which ended the season with two straight losses, maintains the No. 2 seed and will host Batesville next week in the first round. Farmington will be on the road to 5A-East champ Valley View.

The game was scheduled to be played on Friday, but severe weather across Northwest Arkansas forced game officials to reschedule it for Saturday morning.

The Cardinals (7-3, 5-2 5A-West) welcomed back junior quarterbac­k Cameron Vanzant, who had been out with an injury since the third game of the season. Vanzant hit Peyton Funk on a 59-yard touchdown pass on the second play of the game and later connected with Hunter Reaves on a 60-yard scoring strike.

Prairie Grove (7-3, 5-2) trailed 34-12 and 41-18 in the game before storming back behind quarterbac­k Camden Patterson, who connected with Matthew Velasco on a 75-yard touchdown, and hit Conner Hubbs on a pair of scoring strikes including a 15-yarder with 48 seconds left to pull the Tigers to within 41-40. The Tigers could not execute the two-point conversion after the Hubbs score and Farmington kneeled on the last two plays.

Harrison will be the No. 3 seed from the West and will travel to Wynne for a first-round playoff game. HARRISON 41, PEA RIDGE 7

Harrison bolted to a 28-0 lead in the first quarter and rolled to a victory over Pea Ridge during Saturday’s reschedule­d 5A-West Conference game at Garrison Stadium.

Four different players had a touchdown for the Goblins ( 7- 3, 5- 2) as Jonathan Schaffer opened the scoring with a 2-yard run. Mason Ketterman added a 49-yard touchdown pass to Talon Stephens, then Lucas Dean and Braden Long scored on runs of 18 and 34 yards, respective­ly.

Long, who finished with 134 yards on 14 carries, made it 35-0 with a 10yard touchdown run, then Cayden Luker added a 1-yard touchdown run to make it 41-0 at halftime. Pea Ridge avoided a shutout on Malachi Bierman’s 2-yard touchdown run.

Harrison compiled 466 yards total offense while its defense limited Pea Ridge to 121 yards and forced six turnovers, five of them intercepti­ons.

SHILOH CHRISTIAN 56, ALMA 14

Quarterbac­k Eli Wisdom ran 48 yards for a touchdown and added a 48-yard touchdown pass to Garyt Odom Friday to power Shiloh Christian to a 56-14 win over the Alma Airedales.

This night belonged to the Saints, however. After a 1-hour and 52-minute weather delay, Shiloh Christian opened the scoring on Bo Williams’ 38-yard touchdown run. He added an 8-yard burst later to make it 14-0.

After Wisdom’s 48-yard scamper, the Saints’ quarterbac­k threw a 62-yard touchdown pass to Dax Widger to complete the first-quarter scoring. Wisdom will start the playoffs with 2,442 yards passing and 26 touchdowns.

Friday, he was 8-of-13 through the air for 133 yards and a pair of scores. He also ran for 155 yards on just seven carries.

Trusty’s 11th rushing touchdown of the season put Alma on the board in the second quarter. The Saints, already up 28-7 at that point, scored three times in the final six minutes to lead 49-7 at the break.

Odom’s 5-yard run in the third quarter made it 56-7.

Trusty’s 42- yard TD pass to Towns-Robinson completed the scoring. The Alma sophomore finished the season with 12 touchdowns.

CONWAY CHRISTIAN 37, MAGAZINE 16

CONWAY — Brady Domokos three three touchdown passes to lead Conway Christian (7-3, 5-1 2A-1) over Magazine (3-6, 2-4).
