About this episode

Coming up on this week's episode, the football season would reach halftime of its regular season in Arkansas and Oklahoma with a couple of potential earth-shaking surprises, the most noteworthy at Champions Stadium in Springdale where the balance of power in the 7A West may have shifted. Less dramatic but potentially breaking was the performance of the Stilwell Indians, who clinched no worse than a .500 record for the first time in a decade after a defensive battle over Muskogee's Hilldale. The girls' golf season reached the clubhouse and the Rogers Lady Mounties completed their ascent to the pinnacle of the state's largest classification with a freshman sensation leading the veteran squad to the promised land. We hear from Lady Mounties Coach Jamie Rains after the tournament Gravette would turn in a respectable third place finish in the 4A tournament, while a few other local golfers made their respective All-State teams.The Fayetteville Lady Bulldogs would seize the 6A West volleyball lead with a win over Har-Ber and continue its success during a weekend trip to Oklahoma, while Farmington stayed atop the 5A West.Conference tennis tournaments saw the Siloam Springs Panthers win its first-ever team boys title on its home court while its top girls' singles player won her fourth championship in a row. Prairie Grove would make some noise in the 4A tournament at Clarksville, while the Thaden girls' dominated in the singles bracket.And the cross-country season heated up with the Chili Pepper races featuring outstanding individual and team performances while the boys' race saw eight runners break the fifteen-minute mark. West Fork's harriers would opt to compete in Ozark and the boys brought home team and individual trophies while the short-handed girls' team placed its runners near the front of the pack.
