The Webb City High School football team saw their 91-game regular season win streak come to an end on Friday night, losing 42-35 at Arkansas Class 7A Har-Ber, Springdale. Webb City had leads of 28-7 in the second period and 35-14 in the third quarter, but Har-Ber quarterback Kyle Pianalto rallied his team back.

Pianalto threw for 294 yards and helped Har-Ber rush for 365.  Nose guard Josh Frazier, 6’4, 330 pounds,  recovered a fumble with 8:29 in the fourth quarter of a tied game, which set up the winning TD drive for a team that has quite a few Division-I college prospects.   Har-Ber is ranked as one of the top teams in several polls and rankings.  The Wildcats are first overall in Arkansas, according to the Democrat-Gazette. Athlon Sports’ High School Football already has the Wildcats ranked first, and Rivals.com ranks them 98th in its Preseason Top 100.
