Weather was a huge factor last Friday night, forcing some games to be called early and others to be moved to Saturday.

No. 1 North Little Rock defeated Little Rock Central by a final score of 38-8 in a game that was called after three quarters.

Bryant moves up following a 16-7 victory over Fort Smith Northside.

Conway moves up following a 45-19 victory over Fort Smith Southside.

Northside drops from No. 2 to No. 9 after its loss.

Fayetteville drops from No. 3 to No. 10 after a 31-28 loss to a Bentonville West team that had come in with an 0-3 record.
