The West does not have the speed and atbeleticim to compete with the South and Central. Harrison will be in for a surprise during the playoffs.

Think you're way off with Harrison. And what speed from the central are you talking about?

I really hope that the Central and South has some surprises.  Now I know what LRCA feels like because you're only as good as the last team that beat you which in Harrison's case was PA last year and they have had only one loss that they had to go to another State to find someone to beat them.  So yeah, looking to be surprised by someone that is not PA.

After having another day to think about it, I'm saying the PA streak ends at 9.  :)

You may be right.  I just don't understand crowning a champ before the games are played.  I think Harrison, Texarkana, McClellan,  LRCA and Morrilton (if Criswell returns) all have a legitimate shot at beating PA.

Oh stop. Don't be humble. We all know how you really feel. Lrca doesn't stand a chance. And who is morrilton anyway? They're one of the most over hyped teams I remember in recent years.

With that being said, no idea why you even named Texarkana. They can barely beat teams like CF.

I know you are yanking my chain(and LRCA, Morrilton and Texarkana's).  It's curious that you spared Harrison and LRM.  But, I'm not being humble.  PA is not invincible.  NLR would beat PA by 21.  Bryant whipped PA soundly in the scrimmage.  GW would be an interesting matchup.

I think all the teams I named have a legitimate chance.  I really don't like conceding defeat before the game is played.  That greatly reduces the chance to beat P.A.

I would really like Harrison or LRM to win state so that's probably why!

I think PA could lose this year but I don't think it will be to Morrilton or LRCA. Morrilton has a win against one team with a winning record. I know their qb is out but they are struggling. They were all World last year until they played a team from another conference in the playoffs. Maybe they're still riding that high.

We'll see.  I think LRCA is a really good team.  I know P.A. whipped them but that was without Hill.  They are a different team with Hill healthy.

I don't think Morrilton can beat PA without Criswell.  But, like LRCA, they are a much different team with Criswell at QB.

I really don't know about Harrison but they have been impressive to date.  Husky is for real.  And their defense has just shut down opponents.  My only question is the quality of their competion.

Go Postal

Hey you guys maybe right.  Huntsville or Farmington might beat us and spoil the perfect season record that we haven't had since (?)1999.  ;). But I keep hearing people say the term "quality of opponents".  Has the Goblins been so devious to schedule their season and not let the other team score very much so that they could breeze through this season.  I really would like to know who they got to play to be even considered that they might have a good team and it's not just on paper.  Let's see, they are almost done mercy ruling the most the teams they play this year on the schedule then they'll play the worst of the top 4 from Central, then the 2nd or 3rd mediocre team from the East/South, then finally get to play once again the former 4 time State champ but this time in the Semis.  So if they beat those aforementioned teams, maybe they might get some reps finally going to the finals.  Man, Harrison has a long road still to go but hey, we might lose to Huntsville or Farmington.

PA Dad

Posty there's no need to get defensive.  I think Harrison has a heck of a team.  But rankings always take strength of schedule into account.  My point is that it's hard to judge exactly how good Harrison is based on strength of schedule.

I hope we meet up.  I think it will be a heck of a game.

Greyhands

If we (Harrison) play PA we know we are going to have to play good to beat them just like every other team knows that that plays PA but then again PA better play good to beat us because we are pretty good.

Either way it doesn't matter if your the #1 seed in the playoffs or a #4 seed we all start with the same record 0-0. 

Both our teams better just worry about who we have in the first round and then we can go from there.

Here are a few thoughts after reading this thread.  First I have to get this out of the way, Jessie, I love your posts but I have to correct you on one thing.  South Dakota State is D1-FCS and not even close to being considered a dynasty.  Prior to 2003 the JackRabbits were in D2 but only made the playoffs 1 time.  North Dakota State is a dynasty currently and they are also D1-FCS.

There is actually a promotion-relegation thread I believe in "monday morning quarterback" concerning all sports.  I would be a huge fan, but unfortunately it will never happen because I don't think you can get a majority of the schools to agree on how to do it.

Concerning PA moving up an extra classification.  The AAA has/had (not sure now with all of the conference mash-ups) where a single sport can not move classification, it has to be the entire athletics program.  While PA football is very successful, the majority of other sports are your average 4A/5A teams.  So until AAA allows single sports to move, you will not see PA move.

Harrison was 10-0 in 2003 also.  I think people are under estimating the speed in Harrison.  admittedly outside Husky no 4.3 but a lot of 4.7-4.9

I plead ignorance, I knew it was one of the Dakota's. Give me a break, It's the Dakota's, One of the "Who cares" states. I Like most Americans, Always pause when ask if Mt. Rushmore is in North or South Dakota? Dakota, Isn't that where John Lennon was shot?

As far as the AAA, Does anyone really know or follow the rules? You're correct about the mash-up/blended classifications. Batesville plays 5A, Our girls are playing for the State 4A Championship, Baseball 5A, Basketball 4A. I mean it is the definition of confusion. As far as "One sport" moving up, I'm not sure about that. There seems to be a lot of wife swapping going on. I heard the greatest quote regarding the AAA yesterday. A friend of mine said "The AAA strictly enforces every rule, While simultaneously enforcing none of them", Classic. And lets not get started with the resident/transfer/public/boundary/private discussion here. You must live in district A for 365 days unless your father's uncles sister moves before July 1st within 25 miles of your Dentists frat brothers rental properties tenant begins the 7th grade during a Presidential election. You must then put your right foot in and then take your right foot out, put your right foot in and you shake it all about. It's a total joke, Let's say there really are no rules. 

JacketFan

You are absolutely correct, the AAA is as bad as the lobbyists that buys votes in DC.  They decide to enforce rules against who they want,and it is definitely a good ole boy system.  All schools are definitely not treated the same, it is sad to say, but that is a fact.  If you aren't in the popular kid click, you may be in the AAA crosshairs.  Don't get me started on the conferences, you have to have a Doctorate from Harvard to figure out which conference every sport at your school is in.  In Wynne, football is in 5A, softball, baseball, and basketball is in a 4A, volleyball is in a totally different 4A conference, and I have no clue on the other sports.  Man, I have confused my self.

You should try to talk KK into giving those other sports some of that financial need scholarship money - too much is going toward the football program!

There is a real chance that they could have won the last four years against those teams - but it would be more difficult. 6A would be a lot more entertaining with PA.

PA has 310 for enrollment - a small 4A school. They are allowed to petition to play up if they want. Since, by AAA rules, they are required to be in 5A, it would be easy for them to petition to play up. I'm sure a small 6A school would enjoy moving down since they are struggling each year.

They might have had a chance and no doubt PA is great. But have you seen the teams that Greenwood, Pine Bluff, El Dorado, Russellville, West Memphis, Jonesboro, Searcy, or Marion (this year) have had over the last couple of years? Sheesh. Like you said, it would definitely be more difficult. I would have loved to have seen Greenwood and PA play last year.

HeberFan


Speaking of Greenwood, really hope Connor Noland doesn't join a long list of Razorback players who went into the hills of northwest Arkansas and were never heard from again. Surely they won't waste his talent, too?

"Women's" is correct --- plural possessive.

About the content - the women's cycling transgender champion.... I might be impressed. Depends on what kind of women were in the race.

PA is impressive, but only in small part, because of the football team. They have very strong academics and educate lots of quality kids. Future leaders of society, if you will. Such things matter much more than dusty trophies.

This is a football forum. I don't know how good they are academically they don't follow state mandated test or standards. Didn't they have a WR like 5 years ago that had straight A's at PA, but couldn't get a qualifying score on the ACT?

Making grades is part of staying eligible for football. Not sure about the situation you describe. Interestingly, "academics" is a big part of PA's success. KK has studied the calculus of the game and used analytics to improve the squad's chances.

As you know, the root words borrowed from both Latin and Greek, mean "to calculate" and "small difference."  He's looking for a little edge here and there, thus, calculus.

Now, once on the field, it's much more about applied physics!

Broad strokes you have there for defining words!

Heber, I've gotta know - are you a fan of Heber and PA? You seem to support and be more interested in PA more than Heber. Who's your team? Honest question. PA dad supports both NLR and PA so I didn't know if you had a similar situation.
