High school football dominates the local Friday schedule, as conference play begins for most teams in Arkansas. Mountain Home will be on the road for its very first game in the 6A-West, as the Bombers meet Lake Hamilton in Pearcy.
The Bombers come into the game with a record of 2-1 on the season. Mountain Home came back from a 17-point halftime deficit last week to defeat Batesville. Lake Hamilton is ranked 10th overall and second in Class 6A by the Arkansas Sports Media. The Wolves improved to 3-0 eight nights ago with a 10-point win at Hot Springs.
Mountain Home head coach Steve Ary says the Wolves will pose some different challenges for his club tonight.
