The Conway Christian Eagles got healthy again last Friday against Bigelow, but now they must hit the road for a non-conference showdown.
CCHS (4-3, 4-2 in the 2A-5 Conference) plays at Norphlet (1-6, 1-5 in the 2A-8 East Conference).
CCHS and Norphlet have no opponents in common so far this season, but one Norphlet alum sees a lot of similarities between the Eagles and the Leopards.
“Conway Christian doesn't have huge numbers, either” said Robert Zachary, who graduated from Norphlet in 2007.
Norphlet returns just three starters from last year's team and has struggled so far in its 2009 campaign but has made some strides.
“This year they have 18 guys, which is about par for the course for us since we have a small enrollment,” Zachary continued.
Norphlet is coached by Dennis Steele, and two of his three seniors, Craig Chadwick and Tyler Mimms, play the offensive line while Matt Hansen plays fullback.
Conway Christian remains in the hunt to make its second straight playoff appearance and will get back to conference play on October 30 at home against Ola and then play at Hector in the regular-season finale.
