If you missed Friday's showdown, Bentonville beat Bentonville West 24-21 and earned a playoff bye. It wasn't a comfortable night, either: the Tigers were shut out in the second half.

Evan Moll returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown, and Sutton Mackey's pass to Asher Swoboda tied it at 7. Nathan Clouston's touchdown run put the Tigers back in front, and Mackey found VJ Warren to tie it again. Then Stephen Schafer broke through defenders, stayed on his feet and scored the run that helped Bentonville hold on.
