The stands were emptied at Bryant Stadium for the second week in a row when lightning strikes in[more] the area forced the suspension of play with the Hornets leading the Little Rock Central Tigers 28-7 at the half. A thunderstorm with lightning that lit up the skies consistently and heavy rain resulted in the cancellation of the second half with the Hornets declared the winner.
