COACH’S COMMENTS: Arkansas High’s Barry Norton—“It’s going to be a good ballgame. We are both undefeated in conference play, coming into tonight, so it’s going to be a really important game for the both of us. (Camden Fairview) brings in a really talented group that is very well-coached, so it will be a great challenge for us.

“They’re really good offensivel­y and explosive. They have great players in every spot and have one of the top offensive linemen in the country. They’re just really talented, and we will have to do a good job defending them.

“Our preparatio­n has been good this week. The kids have done a great job. They know it’s time to go play and see where we are at and put what we have done in practice into action.”
