No. 1 North Little Rock is making high school football in Arkansas look good with wins over top programs from Oklahoma, Louisiana and Tennessee in its first three games.

The Charging Wildcats’ victim last week was Memphis Whitehaven by a final score of 46-35.

Meanwhile, the game of the week was Fayetteville’s 36-35 victory at Bryant. Both of those teams belong in the Top 5.

Welcome to two new members of the Top 10.

Benton moves in at No. 9 after a 56-41 victory over Cabot.

Little Rock Christian moves in at No. 10 after a 56-13 victory over Greenbrier.

It’s unusual to see a team other than Pulaski Academy at No 1 in Class 5A, but Little Rock Christian gets the nod for now.
