Arkansas High
TEAMS: Arkansas High (4-1, 2-0) at Hot Springs Lakeside (2-3, 1-1)
KICKOFF: 7 p.m., Chick Austin Stadium
LAST WEEK: The Razorbacks got big plays from its defense and special teams en route to a 27-12 victory over Camden Fairview to remain perfect in Conference 5A-South play. Hot Springs Lakeside
put up a season-high 71 points against Magnolia in its 71-48 triumph last Friday.
LAST YEAR: The two teams did not play.
GAME FACTS: Arkansas High and the Rams have never played each other. The Razorbacks are coming off another game where its defense and special teams shined, with Irijah Price intercepting two passes, Shamon Smith recording a fumble return for a score and kicker Patrick Cook hitting two field goals, including a 37-yarder. RB Torie Blaire had his second consecutive 100-yard performance, rushing the ball 26 times for 146 yards. Hot Springs Lakeside, however, is also coming off an impressive win over Magnolia where Will Perrigo was moved from receiver to running back. Perrigo rushed for 85 yards on 12 attempts and found paydirt five times. QB Taylor Gillham has also been a threat for the Rams, passing for 1,092 yards and six touchdowns, but he will be facing a stingy Razorback defense that hasn’t allowed many yards through the air this season.
COACH’S COMMENTS: Arkansas High’s Barry Norton was unavailable for comment.
