The week kicks off on Labor Day (September 1) with two games in Reynolds Razorback Stadium as 4A Lincoln (2013 quarter-finalist) takes on the Rams of Hot Springs Lakeside in the first game of the day. In the second game, we get to see Highland (4A championship hopeful) attempt to knock off Midland Christian (three-time state 4A champion -Texas TAPPS).
The Hooten's Classic continues at the University of Arkansas - Pine Bluff on September 2 as 3A #7 Episcopal Collegiate (Little Rock) challenges 4A DeWitt in the first game. The #1 team in 4A (Warren) will knock heads with traditional big school (7A) power Fort Smith Southside in game 2 of the double header.
The Classic concludes on September 4 at Fort Smith Northside's Mayo Thompson stadium. Hog fans will flock to see Ty Storey and his Charleston Tigers as they look to start the season right against the Shiloh Christian Saints with their new coach, Jeff Conaway. In the second game, Alma will attempt to kick-off their inaugural season in 6A with a win over Poteau, Oklahoma (2013 state runner-up in Oklahoma's 4A).
Intriguing week #1 games that are not part of the Hooten's Classic include Kansas City (MO) Rockhurst @ Bentonville, Wichita (KS) Northwest @ Rogers Heritage, Arkansas High (Texarkana) @ Texas High (Texarkana), Batesville @ Watson Chapel, Pulaski Academy @ Highland Park (Dallas, TX), and Camden Fairview @ El Dorado.
As always, we encourage you to find a game near you and support your local teams. We have listed the games by conference below, so you will see most games twice. Unless noted, all games are Friday, September 5.
