Thursday marks the start of the tenth and final week of the regular season for high school football in Arkansas, and for Mountain Home, the 2017 campaign will end on the road. The Bombers head toward the Mississippi River to meet up with West Memphis.
Mountain Home is currently 1-8 on the season. The Bombers were unable to hold on to their lead on Friday as they fell to Searcy by a touchdown. West Memphis comes into the game ranked tenth in the state overall and fourth in Class 6A by the Associated Press. The Blue Devils are 8-1 and 5-1 after suffering their first loss last week at the hands of Pine Bluff.
Mountain Home head coach Bryan Mattox says he is looking to send his senior class out on a winning note.
