High school football makes up much of the local Friday schedule, as Mountain Home plays their non-conference finale for the season. The Bombers will be in Jonesboro, as they meet Nettleton.
Mountain Home comes into the game with a record of 0-2. The Bombers fell to Harrison 42-9 in their home opener.
Nettleton is currently 2-0 on the season. Last week was also the Raiders’ first game at home, as they picked up an 11-point win over Pocahontas.
Mountain Home head coach Bryan Mattox says the key to stopping Nettleton’s offense will be to limit their success in the passing game.
