The month of November will begin with the Mountain Home High School football team’s final home game of the regular season. Friday will be Senior Night as the Bombers welcome Van Buren to the Twin Lakes Area.
Mountain Home returned to the Arkansas Sports Media rankings this week as they are fifth in Class 6A. The Bombers are currently 7-1 on the season and 4-1 in the 6A-West after shutting out Lake Hamilton last week. Van Buren is 3-5 and 2-3. The Pointers are coming off a seven-touchdown loss at the hands of Greenwood.
Mountain Home head coach Steve Ary is hoping to be back on the sideline after missing last week’s game due to a mild heart attack. He says there’s a lot riding on this week’s matchup, including home field advantage to start the postseason.
