Rex’s Rankings: The regular season ends

The regular season in high school football concludes this week, and the game we’ve been waiting on will be played this Friday night.

It’s No. 1 Bryant against No. 2 Conway.

Bryant posted a 24-12 victory over North Little Rock last Friday night, while Conway defeated Little Rock Catholic by a final score of 35-7.

Bryant and Conway also are No. 1 and No. 2 in Class 7A, of course.
