It was another packed Friday night under the lights across north central Arkansas and southern Missouri, and plenty of teams were fighting to close out the regular season strong.
We’ll start in Yellville, where the Panthers were searching for their first win of the year, but Atkins had other plans. The Red Devils rolled to a 42-7 victory, dropping Yellville-Summit to 0-9 on the season.
Over in Salem, the Greyhounds just keep on rolling. Salem battled through a defensive slugfest to stay perfect, grinding out a 12-7 win over Mayflower. That victory not only keeps Salem unbeaten at 9-0, but also gives them firm control of the 3A conference race.
