Watson Chapel can run this out and win it. Great game, Wildcats.

[AT]

We have some crow to eat tonight. I didn't get to watch the first half, but their QB KILLED us.

You called it out. I think most looked at ahead to Wynne.

[GuvHog]

Very proud of the Wildcats! After the adversity this team went through after the loss to Magnolia with several players being kicked off of the team including their star QB Jakobi Jackson, to see them make it to within 1 game of making it to WMS and the state title game is just absolutely amazing!

[PA Dad]

Congrats to WC.  I had counted you out.  Great comeback with two great wins in the playoffs.

[Pr8hd]

Kudos to WC for sure. I thought the Dales would win being at home, sounded like Alma made a great comeback, but just too much offense by WC in the end.

Even I must give the kittens props! Good Job!

[urban legend2]

Gotta give it to WC. Seems to be playing at a high level when they need it the most. No matter what happens from here on out, the way they've overcome adversity is commendable.

[zebrafan]

Congrats to Chapel! Good to see that for Dutton!

[Overdahill]

WC seemed to be playing with a lot of poise and confidence

[GuvHog]

Kudos to WC for sure. I thought the Dales would win being at home, sounded like Alma made a great comeback, but just too much offense by WC in the end.

Chapel may have punted 2 or 3 times in the game if that many but basically Alma just couldn't stop WC's offense. The Cats piled up massive yardage running the ball. WC pretty well shut down Alma's running game but had a difficult time with Alma's passing attack. I'd almost swear the Alma coach threw every trick play in his playbook at WC in the second half.

[CARDINAL PRIDE!!!]

Chapel is not missing a beat with Dorsey his mobility is Watson Chapel strength right now excellent game for Chapel

[Steve Perry 2.11]

Crow is not on the menu tonight.

Well, I was right.

It's on the menu this morning....

The Dales laid a big fat goose egg in the first half.....we didn't look ready to play IMO.

But give WC credit, we couldn't stop their QB for whatever reason. He tore us a new one.

[Deuceswild]

Hats off to ALL the Alma supporters, I really thought we were going to have to listen to how good you all are again even though you lost. A lot of respect for the Alma football program. Are ya worried about losing Dotson? He is fun to watch.... Gonna be hard to replace, his instincts are what separates him from most others.

[AT]

Always worried losing as good as a player as Noah. But less worried, because we have a great backup in Garrison Jensen.

I'm more worried about losing our whole offensive line.


Just slept on it and watched pieces of the game. WC lined up and beat us. No tricks or anything like that. Surely no Alma fan will have an excuse, because the only excuse was the Wildcats were better last night.

I would feel bad about feeling confident in this game being a win, but I will go with my ignorance of what type of team WC was. I just saw results.

As for next year again, this staff is very easy to trust. I believe Alma will have another successful year.

Thank you seniors for another conference championship and not giving up last night.

[Dawg Fan]

You forgot the * on that conference championship. 

[AT]

You forgot the * on that conference championship.

This really seems to nag at Morrilton. Poor guys.

[Steve Perry 2.11]

You forgot the * on that conference championship.

That * is number 27 for us.

But yeah, like AT stated....we just got whipped in the first half and it proved too much for us to overcome in the second half.

I've eaten crow many times in my life and I'm sure I'll eat more in the future. No biggie.

Looks like it's setting up to be Wynne/PA.

[Wonderdog]

Sounds like WC got rid of the bad apples at the right time. Congrats to WC on the big win. Going in to Alma and taking home the win was an impressive achievement. Hopefully yall will give Wynne a great ball game.

Sometimes a change in personnel makes a better Team. And we sometimes focus on the abilities of a single player over the execution of a team.

Congrats to Watson Chapel. They beat a good team.

Wonder what the superego dude thinks now.  WC has team without him👍

[PercussionMan]

You called it out. I think most looked at ahead to Wynne.

I know I looked ahead....I was really waiting to see Wynne put a thumping on Alma.  What happened?!  Where did the fight in this #3 seed come from in Watson Chapel?!  Did they not lose a lot of players, including their starting QB, earlier this season?? 

And, I thought some from Alma said they were primed and bound for WMS to face P.A.  I knew that wouldn't happened, but I really thought they were good enough to get to the semi finals!!

[Devil Dog 17]

I really thought Alma would be better than they were coming down from 6A. I thought they may make a run at a state championship. Well maybe they can play with their numbers and get pushed down to 4A. I'm sure they can find some success there.
