ON THE AIR None

BETWEEN THE LINES Greenland lost 19- 12 at Gentry last week while Clinton lost 46- 32 at Central Arkansas Christian. … The Pirates will be without senior running back Michael McAdoo. The team’s leading rusher ( 4.5 yards per carry, 5 touchdowns) was injured in the second series of last week’s game at Gentry. … Sophomore Hayden Stout should handle a larger workload in McAdoo’s absence. He has gained 104 yards in 35 carries this season. … The Pirates may look to pass more

often as junior QB Austin Anderson has completed nearly 65 percent of his passes for 510 yards, with senior Paycen Dennis (19 yards per reception) serving as the top deep threat. … Clinton, which was picked by league coaches to win the conference in the preseason, already has matched last year’s win total. … The Yellow Jackets’ Wing-T offense is led by Jake Ferrell, who has rushed 18 times for 185 yards (10.8 yards per attempt) and three touchdowns and Wyatt McCoy, who’s rushed 30 times for 101 yards and a touchdown.
