Southside Mavericks

[Razorback Red]

Year 2 of the new mascot, can they get back to being the Southside of old?

Harber
at Greenwood
Heritage
at Conway
at Cabot
NLR
at Bryant
LR Catholic
at LR Central
Northside

Not an easy schedule, especially the 3-game stretch in the middle.  SS could gain so momentum starting 1-1 with a win at Greenwood, been awhile since they've beat the Bulldogs.

Any idea who's playing QB?

Any idea who's playing QB?

I think Gatewood

[Baitshop]

The real question is, who will play quarterback if Gatewood is injured?

[fullfan]

Hearing the back up at QB might be Colton McBride - move in from Oklahoma.

GW has won the last 5 in a row. 

SS better come up with some offensive weapons to keep pace or another defense like their 2014 version, otherwise GW is loaded on offense with Noland at QB, Wood at RB, and a contingent of good receivers all back with experience. Might be the tallest group of receivers they have had as a whole since 2012.

I watched Noland throw routes to Drew Morgan yesterday at the field and Noland looked sharp, as did Morgan.

I agree and I think GW wins the game over SS.  My point is SS has a better chance to get the W against GW than against Harber.  If not, they'll be 0-2. 

[Okieback]

Where is Mcbride from? And what about the tb that moved in from Oklahoma , 1400 yard back is the word.

[7AFBFAN]

I hear RB from OK is very strong in the weight room. Gatewood is very stout. I saw the backup QB the other day he looked tall and athletic. Should be a good backfield. I hear the defense will be much improved this year. Ready for football.

+1 RR thanks for analysis and explanation. 

I still can't get used to calling SS the "Mavericks" and to me they will always be  the "Rebs". No matter how many things they change, they can't wipe out history. 

I know SS lost a good coach/man in Coach Peoples. Well respected and well deserved retirement. Also, kudos to Coach Williams for all his offers of pray and support to GW's Coach Sims the past few months.  As far as the team or players, I have no idea what they will have or to expect, but I imagine they are ready to get last years results out of their head.

[Baitshop]

I know that Coach Williams and Coach Sims were teammates and I believe that they may have been roommates in college. Congrats to coach Sims, it sounds as though he may be a walking miracle.

RB is a senior from Poteau.  QB will be junior and is from FS/Arkoma area.

[Grizzlyfan]

Southside middle linebacker Davenport out with ACL injury?

[7AFBFAN]

Yep. Sad for him. Lost kids from Poteau as well. Still should have much improved offense. More speed than I can remember.

[Rob Van Winkle]

Is he out for the year or is it just sprained? Either way hate it for the kid. Already getting lots of recognition so hopefully he will heal quickly.

I'm sorry, what about the kid from Poteau?

[7AFBFAN]

Thanks bro. The kids from Poteau moved so are no longer on team.

[fullfan]

What happened with the Poteau kids?  The commute?

[7AFBFAN]

I heard they had to move. I assume they were living in Fort Smith. I don't know what the rules are for that.

[HarBer Dad]

HB without two starting OL (one for the season).  Game could be a low scoring affair.

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully it will be a good game.
