7-4A Week 7

[hawgfan15]

The game of the week lived up to the hype as Arkadelphia pulled off an OT victory at Fountain Lake. Malvern had little problem putting away Ashdown on the road and Mena remains unbeaten after beating Bauxite. Nashville took care of Waldron early and had a chance to rest the starters in the 2nd half.

Game of the Week

Mena (6-0, 3-0) @ Arkadelphia (5-1, 2-1)

Mena pulled away from Bauxite in the 2nd half last Friday. The Bearcats are the only unbeaten team left in 7-4A and will have their toughest road game so far this week. Arkadelphia won a thriller in OT on the road against a good Fountain Lake team. The Badgers will have to forget that one and prepare for another tough test at home. Coach Eldridge will have his team ready to play. This should be another great game in 7-4A and could go either way. I have to go with the home team in this one.

Mena 21


Fountain Lake (4-1-1, 2-1) @ Bauxite (3-3, 1-2)

The Cobras are coming off of a tough loss to Arkadelphia. They will have to have a short memory and carry their level of play the last two weeks with them on the road to face a hungry Bauxite team. The Miners played Mena tough for 3 quarters. They will need to upset either Fountain Lake, Arkadelphia, or Nashville to have any shot at the playoffs. I think the Cobra rushing attack will be too much for the Miners in this one.

Nashville (5-1, 2-1) @ Ashdown (2-4, 0-3)

The Scrappers celebrated Homecoming with a blow out win over Waldron. The mercy rule win allowed the Scrappers to rest their starters in the 2nd half for the final stretch of the regular season. Ashdown has been the disappointment of 7-4A so far. The Panthers have underachieved all season and haven't shown any signs of figuring things out anytime soon. This is a heated rivalry though and Ashdown always seems to bring their best game of the season against the Scrappers. I still think Nashville will be too much in this one and will get a little pay back for last season.

Ashdown 14


Malvern (4-2, 2-1) @ Waldron (0-6, 0-3)

The Leopards pounced on Ashdown at home last Friday in a blow out win. Malvern finds themselves in a 4 way tie at 2-1 in the conference. They should improve that record to 3-1 after Friday night. Waldron showed me Friday night that they have a few talented sophomores. It is just going to take a couple of years with their new coach and in this new conference before they are ready to win. Malvern wins big in this win.

This could be the toughest game for Mena all year as they really thrive will off the fans at home.
I still think they can pull this one off though, it will be a great game and probably come down to can Mena continue to force turnovers.

Fountain Lake vs Bauxite could be interesting early as Bauxite is a very talented team.

Obviously won't be that bad,  but really shouldn't we all feel bad for Waldron,  not sure when they lost won a conference game in 4-4A,  but they may never Win a game in the 7-4A EVER!

Real score, 

Malvern 55
Waldron - 7

I say this conference does pretty good in the playoffs...  I know its hard to tell and matchups will play a big part but this conference is full of good teams.

I think 8-4A is better at the top but 7-4A is the deepest conference

[arklasports57]

7-4a is loaded. Reminds me of the SEC. Too freaking many power teams

Yeah 7-4A is loaded for instance, Bauxite has shown they are contenders and could beat a lot of teams in the confrence but might not make the playoffs.
