High school football dominates the local Friday schedule as Mountain Home will be back in front of the home crowd. The Bombers are set to welcome Russellville to the Twin Lakes Area.
Mountain Home is currently 2-2 on the season and 0-2 in the 6A-West. The Bombers are coming off a six-point loss after Lake Hamilton scored the winning touchdown with 15 seconds left. Russellville is 1-3 and 0-2 after getting hammered by Little Rock Christian, but Mountain Home head coach Steve Ary says with their tough schedule, the Cyclones’ record is deceiving.
