Rex’s Rankings: After five weeks

Last week wasn’t a good one in high school football as far as avoiding the virus. There were 15 games canceled across the state.

We all knew this 2020 season was going to be an adventure. The encouraging thing has been the willingness of schools to schedule games on the fly. It has already given us nonconference matchups we wouldn’t normally see.

The Big Three continued to impress.

No. 1 Bryant and No. 2 North Little Rock won by identical 48-7 scores as Bryant beat Fort Smith Northside and North Little Rock beat Little Rock Central.

No. 3. Bentonville also had an easy victory, 45-6 over Springdale Har-Ber.
