Bentonville West 35, Poteau, Okla. 3

Will Jarrett was as close to perfect as he could be Thursday night in leading the Wolverines to a blowout win on the road in a two-quarter scrimmage. Jarrett was 11 of 12 passing for 229 yards and five touchdowns as West dominated the scrimmage in their final tune-up before hosting Pryor, Okla., next Friday in the regular season opener. "We played pretty good," said West coach Bryan Pratt. "We did what you like to see in a scrimmage, which is fly to the ball and execute. We made some key plays on defense, and we passed and caught the ball on offense, which is kind of our deal." Jarrett spread the ball around to a number of receivers with Stephan Banda leading the way with two catches for 88 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Jackson Prince had two catches for 54 yards, and Jaden Jackson added three catches for 51 yards. Jonas Higson and Koilas Swell also caught touchdown passes. West's defense held Poteau to just 28 yards of total offense on 27 offensive plays. The Pirates scored on a late field goal. Linebacker Jason Gloeckler had two interceptions for West, and Caleb McSpadden forced a fumble. "I like where we are compared to where we were a year ago," said Pratt, whose program opens its second season this year. "I like our mentality and I like our work ethic. But we have to continue to get better. It's a long road and our conference is tough, but compared to where we were a year ago, I like where we are."
