What did we learn last week in high school football?

We learned that North Little Rock is as good as advertised. The Charging Wildcats went to Shreveport and downed traditional powerhouse Evangel Christian in a game that didn’t end until after midnight.

We learned that Cabot might be for real in Mike Malham’s final year as head coach.

We learned not to count Greenwood out just yet.

And we learned (or maybe we already knew) that Pulaski Academy makes Arkansas high school football look good anytime it leaves the state.
