I saw both games. I think that the Hope defense was better, but Batesville also has a nice defense.

Hope in my opinion definitely had a much better defense, much better rush . The title game it seemed we could throw the ball whenever we wanted. They had no answer. Two drives stopped because of penalties , which I think the paper said were 8-2 against morrilton . On those drives the dogs convert and call it back for another ten . The passing game was there all day . Colton Cooksey lined up at WR twice hasn't done that all year and caught deep passes over the corner. Hopes defense didn't give us time to throw like that. PAs offense was the best , morrilton faced .

Yes, I agree. I did not expect Morrilton to beat Hope due to Hope's defense. However, I felt that the winner of the Hope & Morrilton game would go on and win. the championship. When I scouted Batesville, I saw a good tough and rugged team, but not one that would match up with Hope or Morrilton. At least for the state title. Congratulations. Since Alma beat you guys, I bet they are thinking that it should have been their championship.

Morrilton had 5 t.o.'s vs Alma so they beat themselves more then Alma beat them. Morrilton was the best team in the 5a west and ultimately the 5a.

Most morrilton players and fans wanted alma again, but batesville proved to be the better team that night. Batesville played tough and never quit . Nothing to hang their heads about.

most def it was Hope

Easy answer. Hope had better defense , Batesville had a better offense. Better overall team would probably give a slight edge to Batesville because of their kicker. However, I expect Hope to win it all next year.

Easy answer.

Alma. Ask the Morrilton players.

Yeah, because they forced so many of those turnovers ::)

3 out of 5.

That's more than I thought, actually.  Thanks for clearing that up.  2 out of 6 seems to be the consensus of many FF members and seems to be the one that I have stuck in my head because of the rumors.  I trust your stats more than others.

Hope lost a lot. They are in a stage of a little rebuilding.

Hope Defense was pretty Salty. Tony Hawkins of Morrilton will tell you that. That game was a battle royal. As for Hope being down next year Helmethair, enlighten us why you think this ? Its safe to say the Bobcat cupboard has talent and isnt empty. Sleep on the Cats if you must, but they by no means down.

helmethair

I'm pretty sure they are losing 5 starters at least on offense and defense and heir 9th grade class is really weak.  Also lose the player of the year in Westmoreland.  It's pretty simple really.

Hope also has one of the best athletes in 5A with McTelvin Agim.

Hope may have had the best defense. Batesville & Alma were good as well. Overall Morrilton is the 5A Champs. That's what counts the most !!!
