VP found out how to crank up the machine the past two games. I wonder if he can figure out how to put it in gear? Hounds and Birds have always played each other tough no matter who the favorite is. I see the same thing this year

phdefense

This is a big game for multiple reasons. First this is Newport's last year with us before they go down to the 3A. We do not need to let them get the last laugh like Marianna and Bald Knob did. Also this is the game where the wheels fell off the past two years. So it might be a big psychological hurdle for the Birds.

The Ref

Stuttgart is the better team but for some reason I feel like Newport pulls off the upset at home. Should be a great game.

bulldoghistorian

Big game for both teams. If Stuttgart wins, I would say they probably take control of the 2-4A. But if Newport wins, they both would be 2-1, with Newport holding the tiebreaker.

SUGARTOWN

Newport seems to have improved the past 2 weeks, but it's still hard to gauge their Lonoke game with all of the injuries they've had.

For the Ricebirds defense it's simple. Slow down Tuner and you have a great chance at a win. That's easier said than done though. Stuttgart has improved immensely since the first week especially on defense. They have 6 interceptions the past 2 weeks, the Sophomore safeties are playing great. With 4 TD's last week Darius Earvine now has 9 TD's in the 3 games since he returned from injury.

It's never easy for the Birds at Newport but I give them a slight edge here. It will be a good game, they always are against the Greyhounds.

I believe the game slowed down pretty quick for those young safeties. I'm looking forward to the rest of the year with more and more experience each week.

I think the game will be close.  Newport has improved and looks to be getting back to form.  I do know that Lonoke had all their players back for the game and I also know Newport has had just as many injuries with two broken arms, a dislocated elbow, and a knee, and all of these were to starters.  Most will be back this week.  Good Luck and Go Hounds!

Lions84

Birds nip the Hounds this week .  If I was home I would make this game.

For the first time this season, my system is taking the Ricebirds. Finally corrected itself.

If it didn't have the Birds over SS Batesville I'd suggest some tweaking to your formula...lol.

So it won't pick dollarway to win for a couple games now?

Well, SS is one of the worse teams in 4a so I'm still confused as to how it picked them over us. I bet you could count their wins against other 4a schools on one hand over the past 3 years

The last 2 weeks they've played at it 5:00, so I would tune it then and check.

defense playing tough

Only 50 yards for Newport at half, 2 ints and 2 fumbles for the Greyhounds.

phdefense

The Birds need to finish.

BTW those Subway sandwiches looked good. ;)

cuckoobird

That's a nice way to send the hounds down to 3a, mercy me

Trojanbird

Finish they did.  These young birds are getting better each week.  See ya Newport.

phdefense

I am going to assume that Newport has never been mercy ruled at home and that is why the clock operator did not know what he was doing.

The_Pioneer

Poor Newport.  My sympathy for their plight is high.....

The Ref

So up 48-25 with 2mins left & the clock rolling on 1st down , Stuttgart puts in their 1st team to run a long TD vs Newports 2nd D?  You've already secured your 13 points needed for conference, I just can't wrap my head around that. 1 first down or even 4 kneels & the games over, just think if the RB would've injured himself stepping on one of those backups on defense, that would be hard to explain to the parents/ fans.

That's just it, the clock WASN'T rolling like it should have been, they were stopping it most of the 4th qtr.

Ricebirds were up by 35 with 3:30 left in the 3rd, and the clock ran as if it was a 1 point game. Finally it started running some in the 4th qtr, but there were still way to many stops. I've never seen anything like it. Combine that with the fact that Newport still had ALL of their starters in there and I don't blame Coach Perrin for putting a few starters back in for a couple of plays.

You say, "what if they get hurt?" Well, I say the same about Newport, what if one of their starters gets hurt late in a 30 point blowout? I feel sorry for the Greyhound subs, if they're not going to get to play late in a mercy rule game when are they going to play? Poor coaching IMO.

I've seen Stuttgart do this many times in the past.  With the game firmly in hand, IMO it is just arrogance and stat padding as well as poor judgment by the coach himself.

Newport scored 2 TDs in the 4th qtr with their 2nd group. The clock was running after the last kickoff, realistically Stuttgart could've easily run the clock out. Either way, I would imagine people would've called for Perrin head if the stud RB would've gotten injured on that last possession. Risk/reward was not worth it. Stuttgart has a lot more to play for going forward.

That wasn't their 2nd team. If Newport's clock operator does right this does not happen. They got busted by "The Ref" before half time as well.

The clock wasn't running after ANY kickoff, I promise you that. It was also stopped after change of possessions. Those TD's were scored by Friar (QB since 2nd qtr) and Neal...he'd been playing the whole game. Roddy and Crite were still playing as well.

The clock operation was just bizarre. I'm just thankful we don't have to go back there in the foreseeable future.

In all seriousness, Stuttgart should be playing for a conference championship in week 10. That is a big improvement from 4 wins.

Oldhound56

Newport played about as bad as they could possibly play.  Not taking anything away from Stuttgart, they are a very good team, but Newport had 5 turnovers and you won't beat anyone turning it over 5 times.  They also had about 5 or 6 bad snaps that turned into several drives starting 2nd and 15 or more.  Two of the interceptions were not forced and the third was just waiting too long to throw to a receiver that had been open all the way across the field.  Had a drive late in first half down inside the Stuttgart 15 and fumbled on 1st down.  Also gave up a punt return and fumbled the Kickoff right after the punt return.  About as bad as they could play.  Hopefully, they will turn it around this week vs. Heber.  Good luck to the rest of the teams in the conference.

SUGARTOWN

I'll agree with you, that's about as bad as I've ever seen a Newport team play.
