For Arkansas powers Shiloh Christian and Greenwood, the 6A-West Conference opener also serves as a state championship rematch.
Not to mention a potential preview of another state title contest.
The two schools known for dynamic offenses over the years square off Friday night at Smith-Robinson Stadium in Greenwood, with the winner already getting a leg up in the 6A-West race.
Last season, Greenwood won both games against the Saints. The Bulldogs prevailed, 28-17, in the regular season and then downed the Saints again, 61-35, in the Class 6A championship game in Little Rock.
Greenwood comes into Friday’s showdown at 3-0, though the Bulldogs had to survive two of those games. They edged Bentonville West, 35-31, in the season opener; then needed a late two-point conversion to get past Springdale Har-Ber, 43-42.
The Bulldogs put their 71-game home winning streak on the line, having not lost a home game since the 2014 playoffs.
Shiloh Christian enters Friday’s game at 2-1, with its only loss coming to another defending state champion, in this case Oklahoma Class 3A winner Tulsa Lincoln Christian. But last week, the Saints bounced back with a dominating 72-0 win at another Oklahoma school, Bethany.
Now, the Saints want to beat Greenwood for the first time since 2010.
