Football roundup
GREENBRIER AT HARRISON
7:30 p.m.; Sheridan Garrison Field
Greenbrier (6-2, 4-1) at Harrison (3-5, 1-4)
Notable: Greenbrier is still alive for at least a share of the 5A-West Conference crown.
The Panthers tied with Alma for second in the conference standings with a 4-1 mark. Since Greenbrier beat the Airedales two weeks ago, 36-33, it has the head-to-head advantage for the No. 2 seed. The Panthers are also off to their best start in school history, since joining the West.
VILONIA AT MORRILTON
7:30 p.m.; Devil Dog Stadium
Vilonia (5-3, 3-2) at Morrilton (1-7, 1-4)
Notable: The Vilonia Eagles have set themselves up real nicely for a 5A-West playoff berth. The Eagles’ 32-31 overtime victory over Siloam Springs during Week 5 turned out to be huge, which eventual set up last week game with Central Arkansas Christian. CAC and Vilonia into last Friday night’s game at 2-2 in the conference, and the winner was going to have an inside track at that final playoff spot. Vilonia ended up winning the game, which can arguably be its biggest win of the season. The Mustangs were bumped down to the fifth spot with a 2-3 mark. Even if the Eagles suffer a setback in one of their next two games, they’ll get the last playoff spot because they beat the Mustangs head-to-head.
ENGLAND AT MAYFLOWER
7 p.m.; Patrick Stadium
England (0-8, 0-5) at Mayflower (3-5, 3-2)
Notable: Mayflower is coming off a heartbreaking 37-27 loss in Barton.
The Eagles’ game last Friday night was for second in the conference.
Unfortunately for Mayflower, it won’t be able to host a home playoff game at Patrick Stadium this season. Mayflower coach Jed Davis reminded his team this week that No. 3 seeds made a run through the state playoffs last season, including one that made it to the semifinals.
TWO RIVERS AT CONWAY CHRISTIAN
7 p.m., Mission Field, CCS
Notable: This will likely decide third place in 5-2A and a home playoff berth. Senior Night for CCS. The Eagles could finish anywhere from third to fifth in the conference. If they finish third, they will probably host Salem in the first round of the state playoffs. If they lost, they might travel either to Des Arc or Magazine, depending on the outcome of the Cutter Morning Star-Mountain Pine game.

Arrived at 1:30 and was out the door by 1:50. No problems here and I want to thank the people who VOLUNTEERED their time to make this happen. Appears when you follow directions things move smoothly ARBEAR. Only problem I saw was the parking situation. BAD idea to block the drive on Hwy 60 because of all the parking spots not being used on the North side of the building.
Makes one think about politics. .
A friend waited in a line for 2 hours with a 3-year-old. Try imagining that!

Why would Hwy. 60 have been blocked. I thought the shots were given at the McGee Center. It isn't anywhere near Hwy 60. I think PD did a good job controlling the traffic. I could only imagine how snarled it would have been if there hadn't been any traffic control. I am sure there would have been several wrecks on on College Ave. and Prince St.

Glad you won't be there next year. The more people like you that throw a fit and refuse to go, the easier it will be for everyone that does.
