Big Wins Highlight Week One of Arkansas High School Football
Week one of the 2025 Arkansas high school football season ended in thrilling fashion Friday night as several teams made early-season statements, including Bryant’s convincing win over out-of-state powerhouse Newton (GA), Shiloh Christian’s dominant showing over Little Rock Christian, and Salem’s runaway victory over defending state champion Prescott.
Bryant, winners of multiple straight 7A titles, looked every bit the part once again, defeating Newton 31-14 behind a balanced offensive attack and a defense that stifled Newton’s vaunted rushing game.
In one of the most anticipated matchups of the night, Shiloh Christian rolled past Little Rock Christian 44-13, showing off a high-powered offense that will make the Saints a contender again in Class 5A.
Over in Class 3A, Salem delivered a shockwave across the state, dismantling perennial power Prescott 55-0 in a game that many expected to be much closer. Salem’s defense forced multiple turnovers while the offense scored early and often.
Glen Rose also made headlines with a 35-21 victory over Class 4A contender Malvern, proving the Beavers have the firepower to hang with anyone in the state.
