Bowing out
Home teams went 25-9 Friday night. In those nine losses, a few top seeds saw their seasons come to a close.
Valley View was the biggest of the No. 1 seeds to fall Friday. No. 2 seed Camden Fairview traveled to Jonesboro and came away with a 26-21 win over the 5A-East’s top seed.
The 4A-4’s No. 1 seed Benton Harmony Grove fell at home to No. 3 seed McGehee in a lopsided 42-7 loss.
Pocahontas, the 4A-3’s No. 1 seed, lost 37-7 at home to No. 3 seed Nashville.
No. 2 seed Mount Ida defeated 2A-2’s No. 1 seed Des Arc 30-28. The result means three of the four remaining teams in Class 2A are No. 2 seeds, with No. 1-ranked Hazen being the lone top seed left.
