17404974


It’s week four of the high school football season and for most teams across Arkansas that means the start of conference play. Mountain Home will be at home Friday night to begin play in the 6A-East against Jonesboro.

The Bombers are 0-3 on the season but have lost those three games by a combined 14 points. The Hurricane comes to town at 3-0 with one of the most high powered offenses in the state. Jonesboro is averaging 58 points per game but their defense is giving up over 37 points per contest. The Hurricane is led by wide receiver Jonathan Adams but Mountain Home coach David Joyce says it’s their ground game the Bombers have to slow down.
