Wasn't JC in 3A last season. 😎

Yep.  The 2016 fotball team finished 6-1 in district and 8-4 overall with a second round playoff game that could have gone either way.  Not quite up to historic standards (11-2 average over the last 19 full seasons with 12 semi-final or better playoff appearances during that time), but more than respectable and something 30+/- other 3A teams might would have liked to have done.

Here's how Calpreps rated the 2016 3A teams they considered top ten.

1   Prescott    3A Region 5   32.1         
2   Charleston    3A Region 4   29.4
3   Glen Rose    3A Region 5   21.5
4   Fordyce   3A Region 6   14.7
5   Centerpoint    3A Region 5   12.1
6   Newport    3A Region 3   9.4
7   Bald Knob    3A Region 2   7.5
8   Elkins    3A Region 1   7.2
9   Rivercrest    3A Region 3   6.3
10  Junction City    3A Region 6   6.1

CHAMPIONSHIP GAME
No. 2 Rivercrest vs. No. 1 Junction City
This is the second playoff meeting in the past two years. Rivercrest downed visiting Junction City 14-13 in the second round last year at "The Cotton Patch." That was the last time Junction City lost, while Glen Rose eliminated Rivercrest the following week. Rivercrest coach Kelly Chandler and Junction City coach Steven Jones lead their alma maters into this game. These teams are headed in opposite directions following this game with Rivercrest ticketed for Class 4A in 2018-2019 and Junction City bound for Class 2A.

Rivercrest salvaged a share of its third straight 3-3A title with a 28-25 Week 10 win over archrival Osceola. The late-season dramatics were necessary following a Week 8 loss at Newport. "I think with some other teams a game like that may have sunk our ship,  and we'd have folded it up," Coach Kelly Chandler says. "But this group has the right attitudes and just wouldn't be denied late in the year." Rivercrest rides a six-game winning streak to War Memorial Stadium and has allowed 14 points per game in the playoffs. Junior quarterback Demilon Brown has passed for 612 yards and seven touchdowns and rushed for 1,211 yards (9.7 yards per carry) and 17 scores, both team highs. Super sophomore J.D. Winda paces Rivercrest with 14 catches for 287 yards and five TDs and 74 tackles (19 for loss). Winda has rushed for 967 yards and six TDs. Senior Jamyka Franks collected 69 tackles (20 for loss). Junior playmaker Kentavious Robinson is questionable on Friday after breaking his arm Week 10. If he is active, he likely would play in a cast.

Junction City earned the outright 6-3A title but had to rally in the fourth quarter of all three playoff wins. Last week against Osceola, the Dragons watched a 30-7 first-half lead evaporate into a 38-30 fourth-quarter deficit. Junction scored the game's final 14 points and intercepted two passes in the red zone to advance to its first state final since 2014 when it won its third straight Class 2A title (38-6 over Hazen). "You'd rather not trail in some of these games," Jones says. "But I'm blown away by the resiliency of our kids. They haven't stopped believing at any point." Senior running back Hishmma Taylor owns the school's single-season rushing record with 2,405 yards (7.7 yards per carry) and 28 TDs. QB Shuvasceiaye Frazier has passed for 1,198 yards and 17 TDs and sprinted for 1,397 yards and 18 scores. Senior Jalen Davis has corralled 35 passes for 705 yards and seven TDs (all team-highs). Senior linebacker Terrell Gibson fuels the stingy Junction City defense (20.2 points per game) with 112 tackles (16 for loss). Gibson returned an interception 99 yards for a score last week against Osceola. Nasty senior lineman Brock McGoogan collected 56 tackles (9.5 for loss) this year with five sacks. Junior Kevontae Haynes intercepted five passes this year. Junction City does not expect anyone to miss the final.

LAST WEEK
Hootens.com correctly picked one of two games (50 percent) involving Class 3A teams. For the season, hootens.com has correctly predicted 265 of 326 games (81 percent).

Rivercrest : beaten a 1,2,3, and 5 seed. Defense has given up an average of 14 points a game for a total of 56 points in 4 games. 14 of those points were late against Bald Knob and were not against the starters, so if you want to get picky that's 10.5 per game...but let's go with 14 per game. Those games do include a #1 seed.

JC has has played a 1,2, and 3 seed with a bye. In the 3 playoff games they gave up 111 points for an average of 37 points a game. Those games include a #1 seed.

JC's offense has FAR out shadowed the Colt offense in yards, TD's, and points.

Rivercrest and JC have had to common opponents, Rivercrest held both teams to far less points than JC did. (while JC scored about a zillion) They say (whoever they is) that defense wins championships. Does it?

WARNING>>>I AM BAD AT MATH.

That is supposedly the rule but remember there is always a exception ofthe rule. On the other hand Junction D has stopped the other teams as needed to win all season long.....

Everyone had JC picked to lose last week.  I actually prefer that JC be picked to lose,  puts that extra fire in the Dragons.

CalPreps:  JC 30 - RC 28
USA Today:  JC 32 - RC 34

So I'm not saying this is the formula but really interesting nonetheless, figured up both teams average scores against 3A playoff teams (including the ones they've played in the playoffs), and then took the mean of the points the teams had scored with the points the other team had given up.

Gave me JC 30-RC 28....

RC has scored 32.6 vs playoff teams and given up 18.5.
JC has scored 40.6 and given up 22.1.

RC opponents: Piggott, Hoxie, Newport, Osceola, Bald Knob, Melbourne, Mayflower, McGehee
JC opponents: McGehee, Fouke, Smackover, Fordyce, Harding Academy, Clinton, Osceola

If you take common opponents averages come out to: JC 53.5-38.0; RC 23.0-19.0

You can tell what type of game both teams will want....Good luck to both, safe travels to them and their fans.

I appreciate math as much as anybody, but the results of the two McGehee games has me wondering what happened.

#2103 McGehee (AR) (64-38),
#2103 McGehee (AR) (18-13),

Also not always a fan of the transitive property of inequality when it comes down to the last game of the year.

Does Rivercrest have a big running back?

Thank you gentlemen.  From the JC games I've seen the Dragons seem to have a few more challenges with a power back.

Now back to my common opponent question.  I know the JC-McGehee game was early, and I heard more than a few Dragon faithful who didn't want to have to face them a second time, but while the JC-McGehee game and Rivercrest-McGehee games both ended with Owl losses, those results were in very different ways.  OM, what are your thoughts?

Probably due to the fact that Rivercrest and JC are two totally different team. What I can guarantee you is that whatever Rivercrest or JC done or didn't do against McGehee, will not matter in 1 day 23 hours and 26 mins.

We were a much better team late due to cool temps and being healthy. Crest had a veteran bigger line against our sophomores. How that plays out on the finals I have no idea. Two great teams. I think it will be close. I will leave the camp fire to watch.

Quote from: bleudog on December 03, 2017, 10:06:37 pm
If it's like it has been, JC won't stream video live.  Not sure what it is now, but there has been a significant fee to get live video rights.  They have in the past recorded the game for broadcast a few days later.  They have done live audio.

Fox 16 (in conjunction with FF) has shown the games but it's broadcast area is fairly limited to central Arkansas.  Here's what they did last weekend:  http://www.arkansasmatters.com/news/local-news/5a-6a-7a-state-championship-games-set/863540771

With a point of order to Mr. Muck:

"Jones, the quarterback of Junction City's first state championship team in 2003, took over for David Carpenter during the offseason."

Jones was a sophomore on the 2003 team, and while he was a QB on the 2003 team, he was not "the" QB until the 2005 season.

I think JC pulls this one out fairly easily. They are out to win a 3A championship before moving back down to 2A next year.

That's why they win fairly easily? Because they are out to win a championship in 3A? You think maybe Rivercrest wants to win one more before they move up to 4A? So glad you lent your in depth thoughts to the board.

I took the first sentence as an opinion, and the second as a a seperate statement.
