Week two of the Arkansas High School football season is packed with exciting matchups, especially for teams from South Arkansas. Here’s a look at some of the games happening across the region, along with Saline River Sports’ Game of the Week.
Saline River Sports Game of the Week: Warren vs. Elkins (at Arkansas Tech)
Two powerhouse teams, both with the potential to compete for a 4A state championship, clash this Friday in the Arkansas Sports Network Football Classic at Arkansas Tech University.
El Dorado at Texarkana
The El Dorado Wildcats, fresh off a tight victory over Camden Fairview, travel to face an 0-2 Texarkana team. The Wildcats look to keep building momentum with a second consecutive win.
Stuttgart vs. Malvern
A team to watch in the hunt for the 8-4A Conference title, Stuttgart is off to a strong 2-0 start. They will host Malvern after defeating Lonoke and CAC in previous weeks. Malvern will look to slow down the red-hot Ricebirds.
DeWitt at Jacksonville
The DeWitt Dragons, coming off a bye week, aim for their second win of the season as they face 5A Jacksonville. Jacksonville moved down to 5A from 6A in 2024.
