Nolan drove the Rebels’ to the Purple Dogs’ 37 before being intercepted on the final play of the game. The Rebels turned the ball over five times.

“Brandon Allen had fever and was throwing up, and we were feeding him chicken noodle soup at halftime,” Patton said. “That’s the way legends are made.”

Allen completed 30 of 49 passes.

Nolan, who had three touchdown passes of his own, gave the Rebels a 26-21 lead in the fourth by hitting Quai Anderson with a 55-yard touchdown pass.

After Allen’s 8-yard TD pass to Michael Heintzman put the PurpleDogs ahead 27-26, Southside was down for the count when the Nolan-to-McGee pass was wiped out.

“I knew it was close,” Patton said. “When they (officials) went back and looked at it, that was huge.”

“That was real disappointing,” Southside coach Jeff Williams said. “That was the play of the game. We didn’t get the break, and I don’t know why.”

Fayetteville converted three straight third-and-longs on its first series, moving from its 19 to the Rebels’ 17.

But Drew Patton missed a 34-yard field goal attempt, hooking the ball wide left.

After a three-and-out, Fayetteville drove 56 yards for its first touchdown. Again, Allen made things look easy as the PurpleDogs took a 6-0 lead on Allen’s 1-yard run with 49 seconds left in the first quarter.

The PurpleDogs, who outgained Southside, 119 yards to a negative two in the first quarter, saw their lead disappear on the Rebels second possession.

Facing third-and-seven, Nolan hit Anderson with a 54-yard reception to the PurpleDogs’ 13. Three plays later, Lee Hollis bulled in from the 2 to give the Rebels a 7-6 lead.

Fayetteville responded on its next series when Allen hit Josh Hale with a 30-yard strike down the center of the field. Southside blocked the PAT and trailed 12-7 with 8:20 left in the first half.

Northside (2-4, 0-3) fell behind 17-0 midway through the second quarter before the Grizzlies got the offense going. Knight hit Jerald Shepard for a 54-yard touchdown to trim the deficit to 10 with 6 minutes, 52 seconds left in the first half.

On its next possession, Northside got its homecoming crowd back into the game as Arthur Poole took a screen pass and raced 90 yards for a touchdown to close the gap to 17-14.

“We got right back in it after they jumped on us early,” Henry said. “We had a chance and then we went ahead but we just couldn’t get a stop when we needed it.”

Fayetteville scored first in the second half as Dylan Hale raced 42 yards for a touchdown, giving the Bulldogs a 23-14 lead, but Northside quickly answered.

Shaquille Jones hauled in a 25-yard touchdown pass, on fourth-and-6 with 4:37 in the third to cut the deficit to 23-20. Then Donnie Jones took a screen pass from Knight and went 21 yards for the go-ahead score with 2:30 left in the quarter.

Fayetteville quarterback Brandon Allen completed 29 of 56 passes for 351 yards and four touchdowns and an interception, while Northside’s Knight had his fifth 300-yard effort in as many games. Knight was 27-of-51 with four touchdowns and two interceptions.

The annual rivalry between Fayetteville and Springdale High was delayed a day, but it was well worth the wait.

The teams battled, literally, to the very end with the Purple Bulldogs pulling out a frenetic 50-49 win over the rival Red Bulldogs.

Junior quarterback Brandon Allen led Fayetteville, completing 32 of 56 passes for 464 yards and 4 touchdowns and added 49 yards on the ground with a 10-yard scoring run with 10 seconds left. He also completed the game-tying two-point conversion pass to Demetrius Dean.

“We wanted to go to Josh Hale,” Fayetteville coach Daryl Patton said. “(Springdale) walked their safety down, and there was a collision at the line of scrimmage. That forced Brandon to go from his first read. It wasn’t a great play call or anything from us. It was just a great play by Brandon and Demetrius. He worked to get open, and Brandon threw a jump-ball pass. With the big body Demetrius has, it’s hard to guard him.”

Dean came down the two-point pass in the back of the end zone to secure the win in the annual Battle of the Bulldogs on Saturday afternoon

Allen’s day was a career high for passing yards personally, the second-best in school history behind only Zak Clark’s 492 yards against El Dorado in the playoffs in 1997. It is tied for fourth-best in the state’s largest classification with Springdale’s Ashton Glaser from last year.

Obviously, the Bulldogs counted on Allen tremendously on Saturday.

“Well, we really did,” Patton said. “We were in the Spread with four and five wide the entire game. We felt like it gave us the best chance to win. He really threw the ball well.”

This season, Allen has only thrown two interceptions, including none on Saturday.

Allen’s decision-making has also improved over his sophomore season. On Saturday, Allen ran 10 yards for the touchdown with 10 seconds left after not finding an open receiver.

Fayetteville still had a timeout left on the final play, which gave Allen the option of passing or running if need be.

“We told him if he needs to run it, then run it,” Patton said. “If he got tackled inbounds, we still had time to down it quickly. (Springdale) covered the receivers in the end zone. They pressured him, and he sprinted out. He took off, made a good cut and dived in for the touchdown.”

Allen leads the conference in passing with 1,556 yards and will likely pass the 5,000-yard mark for his career next week, though he’s possibly less than halfway through his junior season. He has thrown for 4,840 yards and 41 touchdowns now in 15 games.

Defenses Shine
Despite 1,106 yards, 14 offensive touchdowns and 55 first downs in the game between Fayetteville and Springdale, defense was played in the conference this weekend.

Fort Smith Southside, Springdale Har-Ber and Rogers Heritage allowed an average of just 181 yards of offense in their victories on Friday night. Those three teams also forced a combined 18 punts and eight turnovers.

Southside took advantage of three turnovers by Bentonville while keeping possession for 32 minutes, 4 seconds. That allowed the Rebels to hold a 66-46 advantage in the number of offensive plays.

“We had all of the field position,” Southside coach Jeff Williams said. “Even when we were backed up, we’d get some first downs and turn the field. We got some turnovers, we ran the ball well and made some plays on third down. The kids played hard.”

Springdale Har-Ber continues to lead the league in defense as it has from the beginning of the season.
The Wildcats are allowing just 145 yards per game and has allowed just seven touchdowns by the opponent’s offense in five games.

“Whoever has the best defense is going to win it,” Williams said. “You have to stop somebody sometime.”

Remember When …
Fort Smith Southside last defeated a No. 1 ranked team, according to the Associated Press’s statewide poll?

Southside downed No. 1 Bentonville on Friday night, 31-21, at newly-christened Jim Rowland Stadium.

“We’ll probably have to play some more number ones,” Williams said. “Everybody in this conference is ranked high. We don’t pay much attention to that. In this conference, it’s just survival. You try to get into the playoffs and get on a roll. Nobody hands out trophies in October.”

It’s the first time the Rebels have defeated the top-ranked team in the state since a 9-0 win against Springdale in 1992 in what was a battle between No. 1 and No. 2. Since that time, the top-ranked team in the state has been beaten 29 times during the regular season. Eleven of those defeats were by teams from the 7A-West Conference.

No recent season has been as volatile than that 1992 season.

Four times that season, the top-ranked team in the state, all from the West, was defeated. Southside twice was the top-ranked team and lost; in Week 4 to Russellville and Week 10 to Fort Smith Northside. Three weeks after defeating Southside, top-ranked Russellville lost to Springdale. The Bulldogs assumed the top spot and promptly lost to Southside. The Rebels took over the top spot, held it for a week and lost to rival Northside to close out the season.

In the end, Southside claimed the state title with a 21-6 win over Pine Bluff for the Rebels’ second-straight state title.

That Figures

Following are some final figures from Saturday’s game between Springdale High and Fayetteville:

1,106 — Yards of offense
145 — Offensive plays
55 — First downs
15 — Plays on Springdale’s opening drive
14 — Offensive touchdowns
11 — Plays on Fayetteville’s final game-winning drive
7 — Scoring drives by each team in nine possessions
6 — Ties in the game
1 — Failed fourth-down attempt by each team
1 — Punt by each team
0 — Turnovers

“For whatever reason, we just weren’t ready to play.”

Fayetteville, coming off a lopsided 45-10 loss against top-ranked Bentonville, is hoping it can improve an offense that’s averaged 21.3 points in four games this year.

Allen, statistically the second-best quarterback in the conference, has completed 69 passes for 1,092 yards and six touchdowns. Most of Allen’s passes have found senior Michael Heintzman, who’s caught 20 of them for 419 yards and five touchdowns.

“We know we have a long way to go to get where we want to,” Patton said. “We need to improve on a daily basis. I’ve been very, very pleased with our practices this week. Hopefully we can take that practice effort and intensity into the game (tonight).”

Meanwhile, Springdale’s offense struggled last week in a loss to Springdale Har-Ber, something DeBusk is hoping changes tonight. This season, junior quarterback Joseph Calcagni has completed 66 passes for 965 yards and seven touchdowns.

Something that could hurt the Red’Dogs is the loss of sophomore receiver Tony Dennis, who broke a bone in his left leg last week. Dennis is expected to be out at least four weeks, DeBusk said.

“Har-Ber had a lot to do with our struggles last week, so we’ve worked hard to improve that,” DeBusk said. “I just think we have to give the best effort we have, and if we do, we’ll have a good shot.”

Bentonville’s Courtney Haskell can change a game’s momentum about as quickly as he can change directions.
On Friday night, Bentonville and Fayetteville were locked in a 7-7 duel with the Tigers backed up to their own 5-yard line.
Quarterback Pearson Gean hit Haskell out in the left flat, and the senior caught the ball and weaved 95 yards for the touchdown. On the play, Gean was under center and faked the handoff to Haskell over the left side. Gean rolled right, and Haskell continued out into the left flat.
“(Haskell) filters out of the backfield,” Bentonville coach Barry Lunney said. “Gean rolls the other way, and throws it back to him in the (left) flat. He caught it about the 10 or 15, and turned on the jets. The linebacker didn’t pick him up, and they were in man coverage. Sometimes it’s an 8- or 10-yard play. Of course, you hope it turns into a big play.”
Bentonville went on to win 45-10.
Haskell caught three passes for 120 yards and the touchdown and ran for 150 yards and touchdowns of 1 and 72 yards.
“He had an exceptional game,” Lunney said. “He does what he does best. You can’t coach speed.”
Haskell moved to Bentonville the second semester of the last school year. His mother had already lived in Bentonville for three years, and Haskell continued to live with his grandmother in Warren. Haskell’s grandmother moved to Bentonville to be closer to her daughter, Haskell’s mother.
Bentonville has a formidable 1-2 punch at running back with Haskell joining Shane Boedeker in the backfield.

You Gotta Believe
In its first two season of existence, Rogers Heritage was 3-0 in its nonconference schedule. There were, naturally, naysayers considering the lack of competition from those opponents.
“We still had to go out and play in those games,” Heritage coach Perry Escalante said. “We took what we could find, but they were lining up for us. Everybody was wanting to play us.”
With a predominantly sophomore team last season, Heritage went on to lose all seven conference games.
The War Eagles proved very quickly on Friday that they would not be 0-7 again after a 24-21 win at perennial conference power Fort Smith Northside in the conference opener.
“Our theme this season is ‘Believe,’” Escalante said. “We’ve told them that if they believe in what we’re doing that they will be successful. Friday night verified that. If we play well and execute, then good things are going to happen. They did Friday night.”
Heritage gave up 552 yards to Northside, but the defense turned in outstanding performances to turn the Grizzlies away on their final four possessions.
Jimmy Britton intercepted a Northside pass in the end zone on the game’s final play to preserve the win. Sam Mayhall intercepted passes on Northside’s two previous possessions, and Heritage’s defense stuffed Northside on fourth down on the drive before that.
“It doesn’t matter if you run up the down the field, if you don’t score it doesn’t mean much,” Escalante said. “We shut them out the second half.”
Heritage only scored two offensive touchdowns, but that coupled with 30- and 31-yard field goals by Hayden Severs, and a determined defense was enough to put Heritage atop the conference standings.
“They out-athleted us at times,” said Escalante. “We created turnovers, and that gave us an opportunity to win.”
In four games this season, Heritage has committed zero turnovers and is already plus-10 in turnovers.
“You go back and look at great teams in football history, and they get beat when they turn the ball over,” Escalante said. “We have a good football team. If we play well and don’t turn the ball over, we have a chance to win.”

Rivalry Night, Part II
Springdale High and Springdale Har-Ber squared off last week, now it’s time for Rogers’ intra-city rivalry as well as the annual Battle of the Bulldogs between Fayetteville’s purple ones and Springdale’s red ones.
This may be the final year of a friendly feud between the city limits of Rogers.
“When this group graduates, it will really get into an intense rivalry,” Escalante said. “It’s really not for the players now. It’s just a conference game.”
Seniors for both teams were teammates as sophomores in 2007 before the split of schools.
For now, it’s just another conference game. Rogers High will try to even its league record while Heritage will try to move to 2-0.
Springdale and Fayetteville will both be looking for their first conference win in their annual battle.

That Figures

0 — Passing touchdowns allowed by Bentonville this season
0 — Turnovers committed by Rogers Heritage this season
4.42 — Seconds to run 100 meters by Courtney Haskell as electronically timed when he stepped on the campus at Bentonville in January
104 — Yards gained by opponents on the ground this season against Springdale Har-Ber
552 — Yards of offense by Northside against Heritage on Friday, the most ever for the losing team in a 7A-West Conference game

While the passing game set the tone early for Bentonville, the rushing game showed it’s on par and perhaps even better than last season in the second half. Haskell had a 72-yard touchdown run on the Tigers second play of the half to put Bentonville up 31-7, and senior Shane Boedecker pitched in with 88 yards on the ground and a pair of second-half touchdowns.

Meanwhile, Fayetteville (1-2-1, 0-1) never found a consistent answer for a Tigers defense that only rushed three and dropped eight into coverage. The Purple’Dogs opened with a 10-play, 74-yard touchdown drive to tie the game at 7 on a 3-yard run by Michael Heintzman, but they could only muster a late field goal after that. Junior quarterback Brandon Allen was pressured for much of the game by Bentonville, finishing 18 of 37 for 174 yards.

“Their offense, it’s hard to keep scoring with them,” Fayetteville coach Daryl Patton said. “They’re very, very talented, very good. I thought our kids fought hard. They’re were just getting blown off the ball.

Bentonville travels to Fort Smith Southside next week, while Fayetteville hosts Springdale High.

“We didn’t do anything different, I just think the kids felt more comfortable back there this week,” Lunney Jr. said. “We have tons of depth on that side of the ball. We’re clicking on all cylinders right now and it’s something we’re hoping we can keep getting better at.”

FHS Kicking Game Struggles

FAYETTEVILLE — The Purple’Dogs kicking game stood out in a season-opening win over Little Rock Central, with senior Drew Patton connecting on a 48-yard field goal.

In Friday night’s 20-18 loss to Jefferson City (Mo.), Fayetteville’s kickers struggled.

The Purple’Dogs drove deep into Jays territory on the opening drive of the game –thanks largely to a 68-yard completion on third down from Brandon Allen to Michael Heintzman.

However, Will Rosteck pushed a 28-yard field goal wide right to end the drive and keep the game scoreless. That was followed by a missed extra-point attempt by Patton on Fayetteville’s first score, keeping Jefferson City’s lead at 14-6 and leading to a pair of missed 2-point conversions by the Purple’Dogs.

“I didn’t think our kickers had their best night (Friday),” Fayetteville coach Daryl Patton said.

Also, with Jefferson City ahead 20-12 in the second half, the Jays blocked a 36-yard field goal attempt by Drew Patton.

“We’ve got to get better on our special teams for sure,” Daryl Patton said. “That’s an area that we’ve got to win each and every week, and we didn’t win it (Friday).”

Frazier Leads Shiloh To Victory

Quarterback Kiehl Frazier racked up 349 yards of total offense and threw for three touchdowns to help Shiloh Christian rally from an early deficit and go on to the 41-24 win over Lincoln Christian of Tulsa on Friday night.

Frazier connected with Jake Scott on touchdown passes of 42, 40 and 30 yards for Shiloh, which trailed 10-7 in the first half.

Scott finished with four catches for 136 yards. Frazier completed 17 of 30 passes for 250 yards, three TDs and no interceptions for the Saints (2-0) He also rushed 11 times for 99 yards.

Garrett Harper also ran for two touchdowns for Shiloh, which led 20-10 at halftime and 34-17 after three quarters.

The Saints travel to Greenwood next week to wrap up nonconference play.

FAYETTEVILLE — Jefferson City (Mo.) had an answer for Fayetteville in the closing minute this time around.

The Jays, after allowing 42 points a season ago to the Purple’Dogs, held Fayetteville in check in a 20-18 win on Friday night.

Fayetteville drove 55 yards in 48 seconds and closed Jefferson City’s lead to 20-18 with 10 seconds remaining in regulation thanks to a 15-yard diving touchdown catch by Josh Hale from Brandon Allen.

However, C.J. Vaughan batted away Allen’s pass that was intended for Michael Heintzman on the 2-point conversion, securing the win for Jefferson City. Last season, in a 42-37 loss to Fayetteville, Allen directed the Purple’Dogs on a game-winning drive in the closing minutes.

“What an incredible job by our defense,” Jefferson City coach Ted LePage said. “I feel like, this year, our kids found a way to win.

“… I’m really excited about this victory.”

“We’re a young offensive team, especially up front,” Fayetteville coach Daryl Patton said. “We actually ran the ball at times like a veteran football team, but we just had a few breakdowns here and there and we’ve got to learn from it.”

Fayetteville had a pair of chances in the final minutes. The Purple’Dogs first drove down to the Jefferson City 1 late in the fourth quarter, only to have a motion penalty move them back to the 6. Two incompletions later, Jefferson City took over with 3 minutes, 16 seconds remaining.

Following a punt by the Jays, Fayetteville once again got the ball back at its own 45 with 58 seconds remaining. Four completions later by Allen, the last the 15-yard touchdown to Hale, and the Purple’Dogs were within a 2-point conversion of tying the game.

Vaughan then came through with the pass breakup for Jefferson City.

Allen finished 16 of 35 passing for 387 yards, but the Jays limited Fayetteville to just 51 yards rushing on 13 carries.

Jefferson City quarterback Sam Turner totaled 204 yards — 132 passing and 72 rushing — in the win.
