The teams stayed the same in the Week 9 Arkansas Media High School Football Poll as we head into the final week of the regular season with North Little Rock on top after narrowly beating Bryant last week.
The Hornets came into the game ranked second, but fall to No. 3 this week as Conway leapfrogs them in the second-place spot.
Class 6A Greenwood remains No. 4 and Bentonville fifth, but the three-way logjam at the No. 6 spot finally splits up some.
Bentonville West is No. 6 followed by Fayetteville and Class 5A Pulaski Academy.
Class 6A West Memphis and Class 4A Warren flip-flopped for ninth and 10th.
