Greenbrier – The Greenbrier Panthers remained unbeaten with a closer-than-expected 55-47 shootout win against an Arkadelphia (1-2) team that just didn’t seem to go away.
Greenbrier jumped out to an early first quarter advantage and never looked back though the Panthers had to sweat out a final push from Arkadelphia.
With less than four minutes to play, Badger quarterback Donavan Whitten found Braylon Bailey for a 56-yard score that cut Greenbrier’s lead to two points. The Panthers got the ball back at their own 35 and ran the ball 11 times on a 12-play drive to run out the clock and ice the game, capping it with an 8-yard touchdown run as time expired. Huett got six carries on the drive and totaled 22 yards.
Arkadelphia tailback Jaishon Davis finished with 183 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns, as well as 23 yards on three receptions and a touchdown catch for Arkadelphia.
Panthers tailback Nick Huett finished the night with 100 yards rushing with a touchdown on 17 carries and added a 46-yard reception for the Panthers (3-0) who will next host winless Morrilton (0-2).
