Week eight of Arkansas’s high school football season marks another road trip for Mountain Home. The Bombers will be in Little Rock on Friday as they meet Hall.
Both teams come into the game at 0-4 in the 6A-East. Mountain Home is 0-7 overall after its homecoming loss last Friday to Marion. The Warriors are 1-6 with a loss at home a week ago at the hands of Jacksonville.
Bombers’ head coach Bryan Mattox says he feels good about his team’s chances this week of getting rid of the goose egg in the win column.
