After a crushing loss to close the regular season, Conway opened its postseason by crushing Rogers 49-0 in the Class 7A quarterfinals Friday night at John McConnell Stadium.
There are two high-profile clashes set to take place Friday night in Class 3A, but the Osceola-Hoxie matchup stands out as the classification's game of the week.
One of the challenges facing coaches is in trying to prevent one bad loss from turning into two or three losses. A handful of teams are faced with that dilemma including Rogers, which was 3-0 heading into a 7A-West Conference game against Fayetteville.
