I want to give a shout out to Texarkana Freshman Tony Noble for jumping  46 ft and 2 inches in the Triple Jump in the 5A South conference meet. That is the number one jump in the USA for a Freshman. Great kid

I see where Rivercrest has done this. Anyone else? Do you feel like you have picked up any students or teachers because of changing to a 4 day week?

Quote from: DerekOxford on Today at 12:36:39 pmIf you're referencing Deon Clay, he wasn't a move-in from Fayetteville. He had grown up in Farmington his entire life, transferred to Fayetteville during his junior year, played sparingly for them and then transferred back to Farmington for his senior year.

They put him at QB late in the season and that's what spurred them to that playoff run. He had played QB for them in junior high when they won conference.

Pretty sure the loss to PG/Flat performance the next week against Berryville was when he went in. They were hellonwheels with him at QB.

Quote from: Duck12 on April 21, 2024, 08:00:05 amLooking ahead to Regionals how's the 3A-2 look?  Figure Walnut Ridge and Melbourne are good but don't really know what they have scouting wise.  Cave City beat Southside who whooped Gosnell in a game they absolutely looked like they didn't want to play.  Should be a pretty competitive Regional.

It will be a tough and competitive regional. In my opinion it is the deepest regional where there could be upsets. The central regional will be cac/Ha easily. South will be the 7 dominating the 8 once again. HGOC may be only team form 7 to advance but drew central Smackover and Dewitt have all shown flashes this year. Booneville and Elkins are favorites of course in region one(1 and 4). Charleston looked good so far in district. They just lack depth.

Whos gonna stop those lions! ?

Love the enthusiasm, please put down the flute and think.

As for the answer to your exclamatory interrogative:
Prescott, Glen Rose, Charleston, Booneville, Osceola, Hoxie, Quitman, Melbourne, Gurdon, Harmony Grove, Bismarck, The majority of their conference, Mike Jones, Jack Black, most 8 Man teams, Cutter.

Quote from: we_hate_the_band on April 23, 2024, 09:41:17 amI'm with you to an extent, but you throw out the miracle 2011 semi run where they had the move ins from Fayetteville (big TE that went to Pitt State), what does that draw the average down to?

Farmington's achilles heel will always be small town thinking. They've been 5A for the better part of a decade and run things like they are playing Berryville and Green Forest on the weekly basis. They think people should want to live there because it's NWA but they fail to realize quality coaches aren't going there because the money doesn't even come close to matching up.

Quote from: Brian G on April 16, 2024, 08:16:00 pmIn what was not a well kept secret, LR Christian Head Coach Kyle Pennington is now the new Bentonville Head Coach. Pennington won two titles at LRC and is a Springdale native.

It was also family-related.  Hate to see him leave LRCA.  He was a great person.

Going to Colliers International (business real estate).

Also kids ( and their parents) want to go where they win.  I have known parents who relocated to specific schools because of their success in a particular sport.
