FAYETTEVILLE - North Little Rock is on a mission this season to break the West's string of seven straight championships in the state's largest classification.

The No. 2 Charging Wildcats (4-1) will face their most difficult in-state test to date this season when they travel to No. 7 Jonesboro

North Little Rock's only loss this season came at Longview, Texas. It's defeated its four Arkansas opponents by an average of 41-8, including a 42-0 win over West Memphis last week behind standout running back Altee Tenpenny.

The Golden Hurricane (4-0) had its most difficult test against Conway rained out in Week 2, but it held off Little Rock Central 35-24 last week.

Jonesboro can put up points in a hurry. It will need to in order to have a chance against the talented Charging Wildcats.
