Bentonville, Fayetteville meet once again in state playoffs (AP) — Bentonville knows a thing or two about what it takes to win a state championship, having won the Class 7A state title in each of the last two seasons — and three of the last five years. The Tigers (10-1) hope to move a step closer to winning their third straight championship when they host Fayetteville in the state semifinals Friday night. Led by senior quarterback Kasey Ford, Bentonville has rebounded from its only loss this season — a 31-21 defeat to No.
