In the latest South Arkansas high school football poll, the Prescott Scrappers have climbed into a tie for third place with Arkansas High, each earning 15 points. Nashville continues to dominate the rankings, holding the No. 1 spot with 20 points after a 46-28 victory over Malvern that kept them undefeated.
Recent Results Impacting the Rankings
The Scrappers earned their rise by holding off Smackover in a close 35-30 contest. Arkansas High survived a dramatic double‑overtime battle against Pine Bluff, edging out a 63-62 win. El Dorado, currently second with 18 points, posted its biggest win of the season by defeating Jonesboro on the road, 28-23.
Other notable performances include Magnolia’s first win of the season, a 47-17 triumph over De Queen, and Camden Fairview’s solid showing with a 12‑point total in the poll.
Weekend Showdowns
The upcoming Friday night will feature a pivotal regular‑season finale at Memorial Stadium in El Dorado, where the unbeaten Sheridan Yellowjackets (91-65 over Sylvan Hills) will travel to face El Dorado. This game could have significant implications for the top two spots in the poll.
Meanwhile, Nashville aims to complete an unbeaten season when it meets Genoa Central later in the week. A victory would solidify the Scrappers’ hold on the No. 1 ranking and set the stage for a strong postseason run.
