Overview

The Morrilton Devil Dogs travel to Springdale for a nonleague showdown Friday evening. Both programs enter the contest early in the season (each listed 0-0) and will be looking to build momentum before holiday break. Springdale hosts the game and will return home three days later to face Jacksonville on Monday, Dec. 22 (listed as 4:30 p.m. Central on the Springdale schedule).

Why it matters

Early-season nonleague games are where roles get defined and rotations take shape. With no previous meeting listed between the two programs and rosters still settling in, expect coaches to test lineups and give underclassmen opportunities. Local bragging rights and confidence-building are on the line for both clubs.
