The Conway Wampus Cats are on the road this week for one of the final games of the regular season against the Van Buren Pointers.
The Wampus Cats are 2-5 overall and 1-3 in 7A-Central play after taking a loss at home against Bryant last week. The Pointers also took a loss last week in Russellville and are 1-5-1 overall and 1-3 in 7A-Central.
Conway trailed 31-0 at the half against Bryant last week. The Wampus Cats managed to shut out the Hornets in the second half, but the 14 points they scored weren't enough to take the win.
Friday night will be a close matchup between the two teams, with Conway averaging 18.9 points per game this season while Van Buren has had an average of 24.4 points per game.
This game is a crucial matchup that could decide a playoff berth for the Cats. The top six teams in the conference will advance to the Class 7A State Playoffs.
Conway Coach Clint Ashcraft said the team needs to start winning games or pack it up and start the offseason early.
"We've got a lot of lessons to learn, and we've got to get going quick," Ashcraft said.
Kickoff is at Pointer Stadium and is set for 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 23.
