KICKOFF 7 p.m. RECORDS Choctaw 1-1; Greenwood 2-0 ON THE AIR The game will be livestream­ed at greenwoodd­ogpound.com. BETWEEN THE LINES Choctaw enters the game off a 28-10 win against Van Buren last week. … Greenwood comes into the game after a 33-0 shutout win against Springdale Har-Ber. … Choctaw proved it was a better team than the one that got smashed by Springdale the previous week, but the win over Van Buren was tempered somewhat be the fact that Pointers’ quarterbac­k Gary Phillips did not play in the game. … Greenwood continued its dominance of Class 7A schools by forcing a number of Har-Ber turnovers and cashing those into points. The Bulldogs also stopped Har-Ber six times on fourth down. … Choctaw has a team loaded with Power 5 prospects including WR Chase Jackson, who is committed to TCU, and DB Jordan Mukes, who is committed to Oklahoma. Jackson will miss the remainder of the season with a knee injury suffered against Springdale. … Greenwood QB L.D. Richmond was almost flawless in the win against HarBer, completing 22 of 26 passes for 254 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He also rushed for a touchdown.
