It’s officially week one of the high school football in Arkansas, and Mountain Home will be on the road again Friday night. The Bombers will renew one of the oldest rivalries in the Natural State as they meet Harrison.
Mountain Home comes into the game with a record of 0-1. The Bombers started the year eight days ago in the inaugural Week Zero with a loss to Sheridan at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock.
Harrison is currently ranked fifth in Class 5A by Arkansas Sports Media after beating up on Pea Ridge last week to move to 1-0. This will be the Goblins’ second consecutive game on their home turf.
Bombers head coach Bryan Mattox says Harrison will be a very tough opponent.

Yellville-Summit will also have a road trip as they play their first game of the year. The Panthers will head west as they face Green Forest.
Yellville-Summit is coming off a season in which they finished with a record of 4-7. It ended with the Panthers’ first trip to the postseason in five years, and they fell to Atkins in the first round of the Class 3A State Playoffs.
While the team’s numbers are down to begin the season, Yellville-Summit head coach Lucas Morris says he has high hopes for their performance this year.
