Who is #1?

After a stunning loss to Mineral Springs, there is a question to be asked. Is Foreman still the clear #1? Are they overrated because they lost the Hornets? If they return a healthy Boyd and Batey, are they still the best? Or, is Junction City and Hazen past them now. Is Mount Ida still a top 5 team? Is Earle still a top contender for state? Is everyone over looking teams from the 4-2A and the 3-2A? Just wondering what everyone is thinking going into week 9 of regular season.

who-knew

Don't think the Top 5 teams will change but should see them in a different order.

Honestly think Hazen should be in that top spot as of rn.

It's a toss up. I'd say a healthy foreman that played Mount Ida but if not healthy idk. Honestly there are 4-6 teams that are contenders. They remember December!!!

JC

After that JC/Fordyce game the other night, I would say Fordyce is a Top 5 team, if I had a top 5, it would be

1.) Junction City
2.) Hazen
3.) Foreman
4.) Fordyce
5.) Mount Ida

Putting Foreman at #3 because I don't know the full extent of their injuries. As of right now, I see these 5 as the best, with teams like Earle, Hampton, Conway Christian, and even Mountainburg pushing for the #5 spot.

Gurdon is 1st in the 7 as of now so they must be the best  ;D

Redzone

I'd have to give Hazen the #1 spot for now. Considering they're undefeated. #2 could be Foreman or JC.

Hard to argue against that top 5.  I still believe Fordyce challenges for the title this year.

I'd only argue if Hazen wasn't in the top 5, 1 thru 5 doesn't matter which. You can make a good case for all to be #1

If Mt Ida has home field in that swamp hole they will make a final 4 appearance

Fordyce goes to Hampton and Ida goes to Gurdon that will clear up who's 4&5

stuck in between

This is a very fair list. I can't speak for the other teams, but for Foreman to make a legitimate run at a repeat it will be crucial for Carver and Boyd to get healthy. Yes, Batey is the man, but he is going to have to have some help.

Yeah I could see that, It's just hard to go against Junction, always a power house.

Coach Jones


hornetfanx7

Arkansas Democrat has Hazen as #1.

HG Hornet

Hazen was darn impressive when they came to play us last November in round 3 of the playoffs.  They were very scrappy, but young from what I was told.  A good scrappy team of sophomores wasn't going to come beat our senior heavy team at home last year.  We pulled away in the second half, but Hazen's talent was definitely there!  Hazen will be tough to beat this year.

Coach C may not be there but Coach Jones is on the right track. JC has been down with minutes left in the game and they didn't give up or get fustrated they kept their composure and won. They still got tradition and heart. They get better every game. Big shoes to feel but surely getting there....

I was just saying they are not the same UN beatable junction team of past I think Jones is good coach but not on Carpenter's level now Carpenter's dad was a heck of a coach so there wasn't much he hadn't seen I never understood why he didn't good to bigger program he must have really liked it there

He for sure had the opportunity. I think he liked his job, the town and the people. Hard to leave when your happy, successful and respected by your peers.

Only one other reason to leave-money not always important to everyone but most
