Benton have had a week off and are no doubt ready to get back on the field. Their bye week comes to an end as they meet up with Jonesboro at 7:00 PM on Friday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, Benton and Jonesboro will really light up the scoreboard.
Benton stacked a sixth blowout onto their ever-increasing hoard. They were fully in charge two weeks ago, breezing past Sheridan 43-0. The team accrued the bulk of their points in the first half (37) and coasted on those for the victory.
Last Friday, Jonesboro narrowly escaped with a win as the squad sidled past Lake Hamilton 47-44. This was a playoff contest, so the win was all the more important for Jonesboro (and all the more bitter for Lake Hamilton).
Their wins bumped Benton to 8-2 and Jonesboro to 8-4. After the lofty point totals in their previous games, we'll see if they're able to heat things up even more while facing each other.
