The Pirates got the Football Week started early with a Thursday match-up in Springfield against Hillcrest. Much like the Pirates earlier trip to Springfield that resulted in an upset loss at the hands of Parkview, the Pirates had trouble getting on track and after their short opening drive resulted in a touchdown, the Pirate offense bogged down while the Hornets were able to move the ball. Unlike the Parkview game, the Pirate defense got two stops in the red zone to keep the score 7-0 at half. The Pirates defense forced a safety early in the second half, the first of 22 straight points to end the game and secure the win. Pirate Special teams also chipped in with a shank punt being caught by Sam Verashka and returned for a score. Noah McCright scored twice and Vincente Pastrana added a score as the Pirates finish the regular season 7-2 and a perfect 6-0 in the Ozark Mountain Conference to claim the second outright conference title in the league's two years of existence.  The Pirates also secure a home playoff game as the district's fourth seed. 

Hollister 56 Reeds Spring 42
The game started fast with two scores in the first 61 seconds of the contest and the scoring continued through the night. Bryce Whitman had another big night rushing for over 220 yards and scoring several touchdowns and two point conversions to help the Tigers. The Wolves kept coming back, including taking  21-16 lead at half. As the teams exchanged scores in the second half, a Whitman interception in the third quarter helped the Tigers get a two-score lead and hold on from there. Keegan Fish had a big night for the Wolves rushing for 196 yards and five touchdowns. Hollister wins the Backyard Battle Trophy for the second year in a row and secure a home playoff game next week in District play while the Wolves remain winless on the season. 

Forsyth 43 Buffalo 0
KK Conway got two early touchdown runs, including one from 45 yards, to begin the roll of points that saw the Panthers score all of their points in the first half. Chris Halbrook had a touchdown pass to Maverick Blevins to push the Panthers to the victory. The win not only secures a home playoff game for the Panthers but coupled with Clever's win over Catholic, secures the outright Mid-Lakes Conference Title. 

Harrison 31 Vilonia 0 
Goblin Quarterback Gavin Jones got two second quarter touchdown runs, then throws a third quarter touchdown pass to Tony Braxton to build a 21-0 third quarter lead then tacked on 10 more points to secure the win over the team they were tied with four the fourth spot in the 5A West Conference Standings. The Goblins will play 5A West undefeated leader Greenbrier at home next week before finishing the season on the road at Pea Ridge.
