High school football makes up much of the Friday schedule, as the regular season comes to an end in Arkansas, and Mountain Home will go back on the road. The Bombers will be in Little Rock, as they meet Parkview.
Mountain Home is 5-4 on the season and 3-3 in the 6A-West. The Bombers defeated Russellville last week for their second straight win and third in four games. Parkview is ranked 10th overall and third in Class 6A by the Arkansas Sports Media. The Patriots are 6-1 and 3-1, as they come off a shutout win over Siloam Springs.
Mountain Home will be going to the postseason next week, but the location and opponent could be decided in this matchup. Bombers’ head coach Steve Ary says the team is going to need a complete game to be successful against Parkview.
