The high school football season is getting closer to winding down in Arkansas, and Mountain Home will be at home for the final time this year. It’s Senior Night for the Bombers as they welcome Searcy to the Twin Lakes Area.
Mountain Home is 0-8 on the season and 0-5 in the 6A-East. The Bombers fell to Sylvan Hills last week in Sherwood.
Searcy comes into the game ranked fifth in Class 6A by the Arkansas Sports Media. The Lions fell to 7-1 and 4-1 a week ago, when they suffered their first loss of the year to Jonesboro.
Mountain Home head coach Bryan Mattox says the Lions pose a problem for the Bombers’ defense.
