LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – As the final weeks of the 2024 high school football season come to a close, the Conway Christian Eagles continue to make school history. A perfect 13-0 record – the most wins in a single season in program history – with the opportunity to add one more.
This Friday at noon, Conway Christian will suit up one last time at War Memorial Stadium to play in the school’s first-ever Class 2A state championship. Their opponent? The 2023 Class 2A Runners-up, East Poinsett County, the team that eliminated the Eagles in the second round of the 2023 playoffs.
