Alma Vs. Watson Chapel

[sportsguy80]

Big loss on defense it seems, but offense they are loaded and he isn't one of their primary playmakers.

I think LRM is loaded on offense as well but Strong plays a big part.

[P.F.G.]

I've heard about a really good SS that plays all over the field for WC. Anyone have any details or if he is being recruited?

I don't think people understand how good Wynne's running backs are. They are big, strong, fast and their line opens up the lanes. Teams don't realize it until they play them. They execute and are just very hard to slow down. McClellan may have the athletes to do it, but I doubt it.

[FanOfAllTime]

Personally, I think Wynne will win it all.

We need to fix Wynne up with East Salt Lake City, Utah; they had some athletes on that defense

Those offenses are similar too! I think East might run away with that one lol.

Alma by 3 scores

After you have blamed refs, said Alma has too many posters and Now, you are picking the Airedales by 3 scores???     

[P.F.G.]

Alma has too many posters?

We don't, but what we don't have in quantity, we make up for in Steve Perry.

I hear the seating at the game Friday night will rival that of years past.  Maybe set a new record for attendance for a playoff game??

This is one of his post....

6.Alma-so many Alma posters here, u just aren't as good as you want to be. Playoffs will prove that. If it wasn't for all your blockers holding on every play, u wouldn't even be here. Good game plan, can only call so many penalties

[AT]

I've heard there's a push to get attendance up and rocking this week, but I don't see any attendance records being broken.

Watson Chapel isn't a familiar name for the local, moderate fan. Plus, it's a quarterfinal game, not a semi final game.

I hope it's packed, though.

[PrivateLesson]

I'm sure it will be rocking.  I miss the game day music thread dedications.  Those were classic!:)

Alma will end up with the Win.

Senior Michael Williams leads the State of Arkansas in tackles (163). Committed to ARMY. Very physical hitter, has solid coverage skills, great range at 6'3 helps him cover a lot of ground.

You also have to deal with the toll deer season may take in attendance. GW's first game in the playoffs is normally not very strong. I believe some it can be attributed to that and also, some of the fans underestimate the opponent to some degree in the quarterfinals at least they have in the past. 

[P.F.G.]

I've herd of some people making it a point to show up to this game to support the students after what all has happened this past week. Possible last home game of the year so people will show up.

I can see a case for both those two things mentioned to spike attendance.  I think Alma wins this one and gets a chance at redemption for the 2004 game against Wynne.

That will be an interesting matchup. Him colliding with our 230-40 lb QB. It will be hard for him to cover. Do you take the the QB on the RPO or cover our receiver 1000 yard receiver Brayden Johnson? He will need some run support. Have a feeling Williams will be doing a lot of running on defense.

If the defensive ends don't contain it will be a long game for The Chapel.

Steve, your buddy frederick lee is back on the 3A basketball board

Interestingly enough for Watson Chapel, they just faced a QB a lot like Noah, although Sylvan Hill's QB was banged up in the 2nd half.

SH and Alma are similar teams.

I read were Noah Dotson and Brayden Johnson both broke school records for Alma.  Amazing talent on this Airedale team for ya'll.   

[P.F.G.]

It's been fun watching Noah for three years. Johnson still has another year but he will be fun to watch next year. Hope we get a couple more weeks with both of them this year.

Does Noah have any offers or playing on the next level?

Monticello has offered him and one other school, but I don't know the other school. I personally think his growth this season deserves higher praise. A lot of people don't realize how good of a passer he is. They just think he's a big fullback put in at QB.

[P.F.G.]

I think Eastern has offered him at LB'er.

[AIREDALE25]

I just went back and watched the end of the WC Sylvan game. Two things I've gathered from it.
1. There QB is a lefty which I don't think Alma's D has seen this season.
2. There pretty good under presure. Getting all the way down the field scoring and getting the XP to win wow. I'm going to say Alma by a couple

[MDXPHD]

Alma should win pretty easy. Any margin less than a couple of touchdowns is disappointing.

[PrivateLesson]

Any teams better in the rain???   Has any games this year even had rain?

SH said same thing

We're not Sylvan.

[MDXPHD]

They were up 21-0 and didn't finish. Alma will finish. Where is this unwarranted confidence coming from? Beating a team from the central that almost lost to lakeside? Losing to magnolia? I can't figure it out.

[AT]

I was told this rain and the storms are supposed to move out by game time. Is that forecast still true?

I think that perception exists because of the offensive play selection since there has been a tendency to utilize him a lot on draws. The same happens with Hales at GW at times. It is easily lost they are just as capable of throwing over you as they are running over you and being hard to get down.

I can't figure out a lot of things....welcome to the club!:)


I wonder how many yards all the Alma faithful will end up having after tonight?

Let's Hope but it's Arkansas weather so who knows!

[PrivateLesson]

Oh....and Steve's streaking yardage doesn't count! lol:)   I bet it's a alma record!

[AT]

I'll give some final thoughts before the game tonight:

I'll admit I feel confident in the Airedales winning this matchup. I think we get a good draw of a team that found a way to beat a good Sylvan Hills team and we get them at home with a QB that didn't start the year. I also hope at the same time our players aren't feeling TOO confident (confidence in itself isn't a bad thing).

I hope they aren't like me this week thinking "Can we beat Wynne?" I think it would be an easy thought to have because you feel like you got a good draw with WC.

But the Wildcats were playing very good football until that Magnolia game and although that wasn't a good loss, Magnolia turned out to be a playoff team. It also turned out WC was at the peak of their turmoil during those few weeks.

The Wildcats look to have put that turmoil behind them and are playing good football again. This team could very well be the best team in the South still.

Don't take my confidence as disrespectful, Wildcat fans. I wish you a good trip and no injuries.

Watson Chapel knows they aren't getting considered to win this game and are using that as motivation and will be playing with the house deck tonight.

I hope I'm not eating some crow tonight. Take care of WC tonight, boys.

[Steve Perry 2.11]

Crow is not on the menu tonight.

Yes but it's supposed to be cold.
