ARKANSAS HIGH’S BARRY NORTON: “Travel is big to us; we will talk to our kids about travelling the right way. We’ve got to do a good job of staying focused. Lakeside ended up winning the conference last year and has a lot of kids back. We need to find a way to win.

“The whole thing is going to be consistency. If we can put drives together, offensively, move the ball and score points when we get the chance, we’ll have a chance to win. We can’t get behind the sticks and eliminate the negative plays. If we do that, we’ll be OK.”
