Rex’s Rankings: After two weeks

There were plenty of interesting games on the second Friday night of the high school football season.

Fort Smith Northside had its way with Greenwood, 31-16. And few teams ever have their way with Greenwood. Thus Northside makes one of the biggest jumps in the history of our poll.

Fayetteville made high school football in Arkansas look good with a 45-31 victory over an Owasso team out of Oklahoma that was nationally ranked in some polls.

Cabot, beginning its final season with Mike Malham as head coach, shocked a talented Pine Bluff team, 35-14.

Conway proved it was for real with a 24-21 victory over Bentonville.
