Mountain Home’s girls are coming off a season in which they finished 23-7. The 2020 campaign marked the second consecutive year in which they were tied for third in the 5A-East and ended up advancing to the Class 5A state semifinals.
This will be the second game of the season for the Fayetteville girls. The Lady Bulldogs are 0-1 after getting edged out by Parkview Tuesday in Little Rock.
Mountain Home’s boys come into the game with a mark of 0-1. The Bombers began the season Tuesday night by falling to Greene County Tech at Paragould. Fayetteville is also 0-1. The Purple Dogs lost to Parkview two nights ago.
The junior varsity boys’ game tips off at 4:30 at Bulldog Arena. The varsity contests will get underway around 6 and can be heard on Classic Hits 101.7 and streaming live at ktlo.com.
