What happened to the Vilonia Eagles this year with all the talent they had at hand? Any college athetes or D-1 players on team?

Vilonia has been their worst own enemy. The offense that the Eagles run melts the clock away and unless they get out ahead or have a defensive/special teams play they struggle throughout. Do not get me wrong, Vilonia is similar to a Houston Nutt team where they chip away at the score and hold the opposing team with a good defense and  slowly close the gap and give them a chance to win the game come the 4th Quarter.

In the case for this 2010 Season the Eagles struggled against potent offense's that have a "quick strike" attitude. Also when the opposing team is able to kick the ball into the end-zone and Vilonia has to start at their own 20 Yard Line and drive 80 Yards for a score, that is tough on just about any high school team.

The Eagles are a "Good" team not a "Great" team right now. They have the personnel  to compete, but with the margin of victory being so small anymore it is difficult and on top of that they are in the 5A WEST. In this conference if you don't bring your best you will get your tailed kicked.

Dear RD,

   I have to admit to a few things that I was sure would never happen.
I never thought I would break par on Tiger Woods Wii(standard)
I never thought I would see a true rain with lightning again
I never thought my son would be this ready to start playing baseball this early after football

I never thought it was posible for me not to bash you, i am so sorry,i meant to say WANT to Bash YOU!

Thanks for that post.

Hmmmm....what happened to Vilonia this year?....   I could write a book. Bottom line is, we need a new offensive mind.   It's an absolute shame that our boys cannot be led  to victory; they are forced to win in spite of our offensive philosophy.   As long as the other teams in the 5A West continue to improve and develop innovative offensive gameplans,  we will forevermore be stuck in the 1960s and struggle to make the playoffs.  The days of one dimensional football have passed us by and left us in the dust.

Who would you pick
They say if you are good enough they will find you no matter where you play, is anyone looking. I think we have a couple of kids that can play at the next level but it would be a small college, but it is the education we are really looking for

Once Vilonia started to spead the field on O, they started to move on the Pioneers. It would have been an exciting game if they did that the whole game.

I hate to say it, but if he stops this year it would be due to he had a flat tire.

The kid is in the wrong spot

He needs vision of the field not run up the middle, heck he runs straight up
send him to the outside and let him run straight up

Are we forgetting #6 Henderson? My opinion from watching some jv games and what I heard from other players was that he has better accuracy than DK but obviously not the running of DK (which he was one of a kind).  If it is Wyatt great but he better GROW big time cause he is a little tiny guy.

Post by: pantherblue on November 18, 2010, 04:26:31 pm
Well I have said it before and will say it again.. Stanley opened up the offense a lot when Puckett was a senior and developed a good passing game... Another good passer coming through and it might just open up again....
Title: Re: Vilonia Eagles
Post by: 3up3down on November 18, 2010, 04:37:00 pm
DON'T THINK SO!

About Kevin P. he threw it more than any other QB under Stanley, but got into conference play and went to the ole tar heels 4 corner offense

Should have used #6 to throw a swing pass to #9 and watch him go
Title: Re: Vilonia Eagles
Post by: InYoGrill on November 18, 2010, 04:41:09 pm


3u3d you got a job son? lol! You beat me to PB's response. Obviously PB runs a company or works for the state. OH, wait he does work for the state.

Puckett had the size and ability of a very good high school throwing qb. We won't ever pass under the current regime. We had our chances with #3 top gun qb and talent that could run routes and catch. Ain't happening anytime soon. Run Forrest Run!!!!!
Title: Re: Vilonia Eagles
Post by: DeepCoverage on November 18, 2010, 04:57:12 pm
DK could run, as well as anyone I have seen and could throw it 65 yards, but asking him to make the touch passes over the middle and 15 yard flares just was not going to happen. I hope everyone understands I know he was our offense this year he kept us in games by doing incredible things. I think he looked and smelled run as soon as he touched the ball and that is good for the offense we were running. Vilonia has nobody in the stable to run like that.
Title: Re: Vilonia Eagles

I looked at the roster the other night and counted 24 seniors, 15 juniors and about 20 sophs I believe. I think I counted about 8 jr's that played a lot this year and 1 soph that I know of. It may be a long off season. The 9th grade went winless. Good JR High coaches but the kids just couldn't get it done plus the same system like the high school. I coached some of these 9th graders back in 5th grade and even then I knew it would be hard to win with that group. Some years you got great ones and some years you don't.

Vilonia I think the Double wing is a great offense.  In its end goal the running game is not that much different than other offenses.  Trying to get two individuals to the point of attack to block.  Sometimes the double wing gets three individuals to the point of attack.  From what I have seen out of Vilonia the past few years is turnovers have made them beat themselves only saw them once this season. Also I will agree no matter what offense you run you have to be able to run and throw some. You can throw out of the double wing I've seen it effectively done.

You are right the double wing can be used very effectively with the pass. You can easily slip ends out for short passes all night long. Makes the D think a little then and not just attack at certain spots like programmed robots. I remember playing Alma last year and I kid you not they had all 11 within 5 yards of the line of scrimmage most of the game. Needless to say we got stomped badly.

IYG, it has been fun watching these kids play and being on all the different threads.

In all reality, Vilonia will never win a State Championship with the lack of leadership and motivation we have now, we could not do it this year with the talent we had. I have heard excuses after excuses that we did not have the personnel to run a different offense, I say they are full of it, we had kids that could run a different offense they just never received the opportunity to show people

Fans have to be with the program, and we are not, especially me, and I want be. I will always pull for the kids like I do in every sport they play, it is not the kids fault that some people give up on them when they should be pumping them up at all times. I also feel if it is not working then change it.

Its never the kids fault. We always blame anybody and everybody. But never put any blame on the players. Maybe we just did not have what it took to get the job done. Maybe we should have done this or maybe we should have done that. Bottom line we did what we always do finish 4th just like I thought we would and got beat in the 1st round by a better team. I have heard some of you say " this is the most talented team Vilonia has ever had" Maybe so. I personally think they were good but lacked that leader on the field that has the respect of everyone on that team. GW has that guy. GB has that guy. All really good teams have that guy and Vilonia did not. That is the problem. Coach Stanley has been there and will be there again...

Post by: DeepCoverage on November 23, 2010, 06:57:59 pm
Lifer and 3Up3Down

You both are correct on your issues about our football system. What we seem to forget is the same sorry system is being ran from the 7th grade on. Lifer, 3u3d is correct he will not win a title in Vilonia or 5A. I just think it is old and boring football, if you do not get the lead you are hoping for that big play to help you score quick and go to defense. The offense becomes the defense if Vilonia gets a lead.  I want to watch a football game even if it is 7-0, i would like something that is not so predictable. I just don't see 4th and 4 double hand off working anymore. I am just a fan of the kids but I can call the play 70% of the time that he is going to call. I have been watching this since 03, both my kids went through the system and they laugh when they are at a game because they know what the play will be even if it did not work the 2 previous plays

This is a great town that has a wonderful fan base, they deserve better. I would like anyone from Vilonia that knows a kid playing football and ask if he likes this system. I bet I know the answer 

We have a great offensive coordinator, but he does not get to call the plays unless it is 3rd and long or the "oh help look comes on", let him call the plays that is why we hired him, for his knowledge of offense

If you bring it to town they all start running it at an early age. The towns that run the spread learn it at a early age also. I never said run the spread, just run a offense that produces

I don't recall any Vilonia fans ever asking for a true spread offense

" with those kids" ???? LOL, control the garbage spewing from your mouth Guru. Why do you say in our town it wouldn't work? It works for a lot of towns our size. Look at Lakeside. Down for many years and a smaller 5A school with mainly white kids. They brought in a brand new coach with a great philosophy and taught it the right way. Made the playoffs and played everyone real close. What qualifies a town to be able to run the  spread and be .500 or better???   Greenbrier is very similar to our type school and kids. Why is there O working in a pass O? They have a great qb like we had in Puckett a few years back where the spread worked cause Stanley threw that one and only one year.
Title: Re: Vilonia Eagles
Post by: DeepCoverage on November 23, 2010, 11:58:18 pm
Right on IYG!  This system has been here since 03 that is why we can't run the spread or out of the pistol. We have the kids to do it we just have to have the personnel to teach it.
I agree look at what Greenbrier and Conway have done, its great, its exciting. Vilonia play book is around 6 to 8 different plays

If we were to change our offense it would take a while to be good at it, but it would bring the fans out to watch and the kids out to play.

So let us begin now for the future football players of Vilonia

before we are down to 40 players every year

I know you guys don't want to hear this, but you need to go find you a "Coach Tribble" there are several out there in smaller classification schools that would come to Vilonia. You guys have one of the best facilities now in 5A, you are in a prime spot in the state, If Greenbrier can do it you can too.  I knew Greenbrier was only a good coach away from really busting out, and they have in a very short amount of time.  After hiring a coach like that get behind him, it has to be a total commitment on everyone's part, including all of the assistant coach's, administration, future, present, and former parents, the entire community.  Don't let anyone say Vilonia doesn't have the personnel to run X offense.  You start developing kids for what ever system you put in place from the time they are in the 3 and 4th grade up. 
First things first, get your guy, the right guy, and make that commitment.

Define Insanity? Doing the SAME THING Over and Over and Over Again, but expecting a different result. Vilonia does not need a personal change as much as it needs an offensive mindset being re-configured. If you want to compete you gotta E-V-O-L-V-E. Like that Gatorade commercial says "If you want a Revolution, you gotta evolve!" Vilonia is a good team, not great. If they get the personal and players to commit and the fans can be patient then look out. ;)

We all played backyard football through the years and that is some of my fondest memories of fun as a young kid. How many 5 on 5 or 10 on10 games do you remember it was predominately run plays? I'm not talking scrambles and stuff like that, I'm talking traps and dives and off tackles? Compared to slants, curls , hail mary's, posts, and so on. Really it was just get open wasn't it. But kids love to play pass and catch. Kids turn out for systems that run adnd throw. It does generate an excitement to go out and play like the high school team when there is fun and a chance to win conference or state. All I'm saying like the rest on here is if you want to challenge to be the best you can that you adapt to changes and make adjustments to give your team and kids a chance to win an compete. The games we lost this year to GW, Alma, GB, and Batesville were not pretty games for V. The Alma game was close in the 4Q but both games years before we were EMBARASSED by our style of play. We were 7-4 yes but most of those wins were against .500 or below teams. You can not be predictable all the time and be successful in the West and beyond the regular season. Unless we like the one in 10 years that it does work.

If you put #6 in the pistol formation where he can see the field he will hit the receivers across the middle and screens to our backs
If you are correct IYG and if #6 plays they will need to change the offence.
You are correct he is accurate and will hit those passes so you have to get him out of the offense we run now, his speed and strength are no where close to Knowles
#6 can throw with accuracy and start a whole new offense, and Paw-Paw you are correct we do have a great offensive mind now in Coach Jordan we just don't use it

I sure did not see anything out of the 9th grade group

Are we forgetting #6 Henderson? My opinion from watching some jv games and what I heard from other players was that he has better accuracy than DK but obviously not the running of DK (which he was one of a kind).  If it is Wyatt great but he better GROW big time cause he is a little tiny guy.

No one is forgetting #6, but #6 is trying to forget about football right now. I personally know it is all about baseball at this time.

i don't know if i agree with our offense being the only problem...first of all, everyone talks about hating the double wing and how that is the problem...didn't these kids win a lot in junior high running the same offense against bigger schools? vilonia doesn't even run this offense as a base anymore...they run the flex bone which is an option attack...i know that the double wing was also used as a short yardage offense...in the four games that vilonia lost, they only gave up less than 30 points one time and that was 28...i like the old philosophy of offense wins games, defense wins championships...as far as old offenses, the I is not exactly a whole new scheme...Batesville is winning and beat vilonia with the I....it wasn't some magical new scheme....Cabot is almost always competitive in 7A while running the dead T...i do however agree that a spread attack would have more people excited about the offense...maybe it would get more kids out, but how many kids are walking the halls that would actually help that aren't already out....i doubt there's many...even if this were to happen and vilonia was putting up 30 points a game, they still have to figure out how to stop others or the scores would be exciting losses

Post by: InYoGrill on November 24, 2010, 04:27:11 pm
First off, excellent person, leader, motivator, and coach. Everyone LOVES Coach Stout, Stevens, and Craun.
Second, V won and won only from two classes that had the talent and desire to be the best they could and
they were. Those were the SR's 9-1 9th grade and the JR's 9-1 9th grade. Now those records may be off just a hair. But
I know for sure that both played for the North title and lost to GB both times. My son is a SR. My point here is
with any great class you will win a fair share of games whether the system stinks or not. JR high's typically don't
get too sophisticated with their O's. Some do pass more than others but the schemes and playbooks are no
where near SR high ball. Yes you can win with the Double Wing but it takes a staff that can game plan each week and mix in
different stuff so the opposing team doesn't know almost every time what 3 plays to one side or the other
that is called. You have to out smart the other team along with execution from practicing. If we threw some balls
and alternated run and throw on different downs then we would be more able to have the element of surprise and
hence gain more yardage and big plays. What you had this year for the most part was the scoring of Drew Knowles
on those legs and his toughness. He set up the other nice plays by Lewis and some others. This has hit a boiling
point because we all know we should have been better prepared to call plays and execute what we practice.
So two back to back SUPERIOR JR high 9th grade teams that V has not seen in many moons has departed half of that
great group of young men. A deep run was expected this year and it didn't happen because of play calling!

Yes he ran the same O as the High school, but like DeepCoverage mentioned he got everything he could out of those kids because he never gave up on them so they never gave up on him and his staff

The Eagles:

1.  In the middle of the classification in enrollment.

2.  Made only one "postseason run" prior to Stanley, IN 1984!

3.  Only lost 4 games, three of which were to the best teams in the classification.

4.  Has been in the playoffs 3 of the last 5 years.

5.  Has more playoff appearances under Stanley than every other coach in the history of Vilonia Football, COMBINED.

6.  Vilonia averages 32 OFFENSIVE POINTS PER GAME.  Oh, man, sounds like they need to change the offense!

I know you guys don't want to hear this, but you need to go find you a "Coach Tribble" there are several out there in smaller classification schools that would come to Vilonia. You guys have one of the best facilities now in 5A, you are in a prime spot in the state, If Greenbrier can do it you can too.  I knew Greenbrier was only a good coach away from really busting out, and they have in a very short amount of time.  After hiring a coach like that get behind him, it has to be a total commitment on everyone's part, including all of the assistant coach's, administration, future, present, and former parents, the entire community.  Don't let anyone say Vilonia doesn't have the personnel to run X offense.  You start developing kids for what ever system you put in place from the time they are in the 3 and 4th grade up. 
First things first, get your guy, the right guy, and make that commitment.



You are missing my point. It is not just a coaching change it is a total commitment level change. If everyone is behind it, it will work.

While no town is perfect, Vilonia does seem to suffer from a lack of success in many sports - not just football.  Not trying to be too philosophical here but Vilonia seems to do many things not very well. 

With the exception of girls basketball and bowling, Vilonia seems to struggle in just about every other sport.  Others have already mentioned that Vilonia is on the middle of the 5A attendance wise so it shouldn't be a case of too few student athletes.....  not that there cannot be improvement by the athletes (there's always room for that) but what of the coaches and the administration? 

Does Vilonia have a useful and functional youth sports system?  I'm sure there are some youth sport programs there but are they functioning in such a way that develops players for their high school teams?  At the same time, are the Vilonia coaches working with and playing an active part in the youth sport systems?  Introducing your coaching philosophies to athletes as early as possible would seem to be a step toward building a program.  From what has been discussed on this board previously, it might seem like an examination and duplication of how the girls basketball program is run would be a good place to start.  That program has certainly been successful - why not attempt to replicate that model in other programs?

Now it would be easy to point a finger at an administration that allowed thousands of dollars to be stolen from under their very noses as the sole source of this problem but not all of the blame can be laid at the feet of administration.  However, if administration is serious about improving the state of things in Vilonia, they should be the leading force in starting efforts to review the entire athletic program with a goal of improvement (not finger pointing).   

I don't have the answers to any of these questions but it seems logical that if Vilonia wants to improve these are questions someone should be asking.....and answering.

How long have you kept up with vilonia football... You know there was some good football played under Bangs. Maybe not the playoff  berth but they only took two teams back then.

Mr. Sellers is a wise old fox. I know his eyes and ears are open at all times. I think he is a big part of why our Vilonia schools are so good. I think he will make the right decisions if there are any to be made in any sport at Vilonia. Let us remember, this is really his first full year as our AD and to have our student athletes, he has done well with our students for years I'm sure he will do the same with our athletes and their programs.

They couldn't even win their conference then and at the time they only had 5 conference games.  OOC for Vilonia at the time was teams that all averaged under 100 enrollment.

                  Wrong again. they had 7 conf games and 3 non. also I bet there were atleast 200 enrollment at some of those non conf schools.. coach D you right on about Mr Sellers.

Do you remember the fighting 11

Who is gb1987 he started this thread and I have not heard a word from him since

I guess someone that wanted to get crap started and then roll in it

I really can't remember where he or she was trying to go with this thread

It is easy to tell who I am, I do not and will not hide it. I have a son in this program, he and we as parents have given sweat,tears and time to see this program go to its full potential. I will never give up on these young men, and I have coached most of them in baseball over time and they know I will never give up on them. I do though have questions on other people giving up on them and it is time for us as parents to ask the questions you want to ask. The Vilonia fans want a program to be proud of, we are proud of all our athletes so let us help them, let's ask the questions

Coach D, I share your thoughts well. The program needs to be evaluated every year for improvement and correction just like every working person has a yearly evaluation to enhance the employee and company.

Wow! I havnt looked at FF in a week and it took me 15 minutes to read all the Vilonia stuff! I'm shocked to see IYG has decided to get off the "high road" and speak his mind. It's refreshing, I must say. The post about the Youth programs are valid and I know we are improving in that area in some sports.
I have said much on the topic of our football program and wont re-hash all the specifics of my earlier posts.  A couple things to consider though:
1.  Our new AD is in the twilight of his career and not likely to go through the process of a major coaching change at this point.
2.  Winning is not important to our AD and will not be a consideration in any decision he ever makes.
3.  No one holds our coach accountable for a W-L record and no one could ever have that discussion with him to convince him to change his philosophies.

So......we are left with many more seasons to bask in our glorious mediocrity. Good Luck Eagles.

The double wing will not work at Vilonia. It never will until you parents stop bad mouthing your son's coach and his style of offense. Is Stanley perfect... no he has made some questionable decisions. But whether you like it or not he is your son's head coach. YOU are causing your kids to hate Stanley, the double wing, and some of them even football because you have convinced them with your bad-mouthing that they can not win under the current system. If players do not have confindence in their coach, they will not win in the end. You have made your kids believe that Stanley is an idiot and that the double wing does not work. Therefore they dont trust their coach to lead them to victory because of YOU.
In any offense, or sport for that matter, if the kids do not trust their coach and have confindence in him; they will not succeed.

Another thing... I think it is funny when people make reference to Vilonia running the spread with Puckett in 07 and it working. You are wrong. They ran the spread the first half of the season. They won the first two games against not very good teams. Then they went 0-4. After leading Beebe 42-21 at half with that high-powered spread, Beebe came back and won 49-42. We lost the first 3 conference games to Siloam, LRC, and Greenwood. We pulled out the old double wing halfway through the LRC game and almost won. Greenwood was great that year and after beating them the year before on their turf, they werent letting that happen again. The seniors then pulled together and made up their minds that they wanted to make the playoffs for their first time. They won 4 straight conference games. Went into the playoffs as the 4 seed, having to travel to Blytheville to play the #1 team in the state. They dominated them in the first half to take the upset. Went to West Helena the next week to pull out another upset. They made it to the semifinals and ended up with an 8-5 record; running the double wing!

Bull smelly cow patty.  That's how I view your post. The kids don't hate the Coach and the parents don't hate
the Coach. It's the lack of motivation and adjustments from the Coach that has stirred the high expectations
and disappointment this year. Did you go to any of the games this year? Did you have a son in the locker room
during halftimes? Did you personally have conversation with more than a handful of seniors this year? The so called
bad mouthing came toward the end of the year when we started to face real competition and we failed miserably.
The kids gave all! Head Coaches are paid well and they are expected to give all as well. We have a top notch O
coordinator that has won multiple state rings at other schools as a head Coach but his experience was never
used during play calling. I know for fact that the kids love and trust their Coach to lead them. Mine played all
3 years and never ever bad mouthed Coach or the system. I spent a lot of money through the season for PINK
stuff for my boy to show support for Coaches wife and her cancer fight without wavering one second to show that support Coach and his wife. I'm not condeming Coach to leave. I'm posting to see what others see that it would help the team to
show some open thinking with the play calling at times. OBviously others see the same things. The double wing has proven it can work at V but you have to bring some adjustments to it in certain game situations. The play calling this season toward the end against better teams suffered tremendously. I've watched these  kids practice since JR high and know they can
run more than 3 basic double wing plays. In any sport, you have to adjust to the changing of times or you stand the chance to sit on the sidelines while others play on. This year was a perfect example of a team with almost 25 SR's and many returning players with experience that had a very good chance to go further in the playoffs.

motivation and leadership has to be taught by older men that are dealing with 16&17year old young men

not motivating young men to do anything even if it is taking out the trash is a sin in my book

how can you not be excited having a young man looking into your eyes and believing in you and following you where ever it is you want him to go

i have only personally spoke to our hc maybe twice and it was never about my son it was only in passing in the parking lot or in the field house

seems to be a nice fellow

maybe he needs a little motivation

but he does get paid to be motivated and get our kids motivated

You are partially right.....the spread was used exclusively in '07 during the 3 non conference games...and after blowing a 41-12 lead against beebe, because v couldn't kill clock in the spread...the double wing came back out in the first conference game.....about a 50/50 split between dwing and spread....v lost the first 3 conference games...then went to more dwing, 80/20...and won the last 4 conference games...but in the playoffs, against bigger, stronger teams, v went back to the spread mostly...80/20 spread/dwing...and made it to the semis, where a dropped td pass stood between them and the state championship game.

Kyle Wyatt

Unless a JR that did not play this year steps in and takes the spot

I sure did not see anything out of the 9th grade group

Are we forgetting #6 Henderson? My opinion from watching some jv games and what I heard from other players was that he has better accuracy than DK but obviously not the running of DK (which he was one of a kind).  If it is Wyatt great but he better GROW big time cause he is a little tiny guy.

I was told #6 was not playing next year is this correct?
My bad, I heard they were not going to put him at QB

Yes you are right! I remember we still ran the spread some, especially as a 2-minute offense and on 3rd and long. It worked great when we pulled it out with that little tunnel screen to Nathan. And yes the spread that year is what led us to almost beating LRC in the semis. That was a miserable night! Freezing cold, rained all day, and a lot of our boys were just plum beat up and wore out.
And tell me if im wrong..but didnt we run mainly double wing at Blytheville, then at Helena used a lot of spread after Tyler Head broke his foot..Am I right? Then thats why we had to use the spread at LRC because Tyler was our dependable go-to back in the double wing.

Congrats for blowing this topic into a NUKE cloud. Fallout will be ugly. Coach Stout has been with the program for 5 years.
His resume reads very strong up to I believe as AD at a high school in south AR and Coach of a high school
team as well. Every kid that has gone through his JR program would more than likely tell you they would walk
though a mine field for him. That is how respected and loved he is by these young men. He taught them
life lessons to carry on.

You can win a lot of games with very average talent as long as you can coach that talent to meet and
exceed their abilities. Cabot case in point is expected to go to the playoffs every year.

I had a page long rebuttal with the rest of your comments about the "backwoods" stuff and your Coach/buddy
relationship as a college talent evaluator but I'll leave it in the archives.

Wish you had NOT mentioned that crock of BULL on here! I'll end this post with that

There is a reason jr high coaches are in jr high. Why is everyone so fired up about Stanely, he is a very good coach, everytime I enquired about a player he was very helpful and curtious. We asked him about his secondary coach and that is when he went on to explain how discussed he was when he  first got here about the lack of football sense the boys coming from jr high have not to throw anyone under the bus but it sounds like the problem far exceeds high school. They have to be taught to play from an earlier age and I guess the people from your town have no football knowledge

Well I guess we should just try for the 4 seed every year in the west
since we have zero knowledge of football in the backwoods of Faulkner County
maybe we should just stop football and go to wrestling on the new turf or field hockey
and race horses around the track

If he was discusted about our Jr high program and the lack of football sense when he got here(2003) I would think he has had plenty of time to change it

Really I don't think you're making much football sense

We asked him about his secondary coach and that is when he went on to explain how discussed he was when he  first got here about the lack of football sense the boys coming from jr high have not to throw anyone under the bus but it sounds like the problem far exceeds high school. They have to be taught to play from an earlier age and I guess the people from your town have no football knowledge
This being said by the same guy  that said " No way Baitesville matches up with Vilonia no way no how. I know because I have seen FILM...."

Unless a JR that did not play this year steps in and takes the spot

I sure did not see anything out of the 9th grade group

Are we forgetting #6 Henderson? My opinion from watching some jv games and what I heard from other players was that he has better accuracy than DK but obviously not the running of DK (which he was one of a kind).  If it is Wyatt great but he better GROW big time cause he is a little tiny guy.

I was told #6 was not playing next year is this correct?
My bad, I heard they were not going to put him at QB

I have heard nothing said at my house

While no town is perfect, Vilonia does seem to suffer from a lack of success in many sports - not just football.  Not trying to be too philosophical here but Vilonia seems to do many things not very well. 

With the exception of girls basketball and bowling, Vilonia seems to struggle in just about every other sport.  Others have already mentioned that Vilonia is on the middle of the 5A attendance wise so it shouldn't be a case of too few student athletes.....  not that there cannot be improvement by the athletes (there's always room for that) but what of the coaches and the administration? 

Does Vilonia have a useful and functional youth sports system?  I'm sure there are some youth sport programs there but are they functioning in such a way that develops players for their high school teams?  At the same time, are the Vilonia coaches working with and playing an active part in the youth sport systems?  Introducing your coaching philosophies to athletes as early as possible would seem to be a step toward building a program.  From what has been discussed on this board previously, it might seem like an examination and duplication of how the girls basketball program is run would be a good place to start.  That program has certainly been successful - why not attempt to replicate that model in other programs?

Now it would be easy to point a finger at an administration that allowed thousands of dollars to be stolen from under their very noses as the sole source of this problem but not all of the blame can be laid at the feet of administration.  However, if administration is serious about improving the state of things in Vilonia, they should be the leading force in starting efforts to review the entire athletic program with a goal of improvement (not finger pointing).   

I don't have the answers to any of these questions but it seems logical that if Vilonia wants to improve these are questions someone should be asking.....and answering.

Mr. Sellers is a wise old fox. I know his eyes and ears are open at all times. I think he is a big part of why our Vilonia schools are so good. I think he will make the right decisions if there are any to be made in any sport at Vilonia. Let us remember, this is really his first full year as our AD and to have our student athletes, he has done well with our students for years I'm sure he will do the same with our athletes and their programs.

True about Mr Sellers.  He has already taken care of a horrific problem that was going on with Jr High basketball and I expect him to make to same smart decisions with football and any other sports.

Mr.Sellers needs to talk to the team or a couple of players to get a feel of the situation, or a couple of parents that he knows will talk to him about what the kids are saying, and soon.

Yall vilonia folks are so fun to mess with. Yall take everything so serious about your program I have defended Vilonia in the past but now I see y yall will never compete for footballl championships, it is the fan base. Too many former pee wee coaches who think they know something about football and that pass negitivity down to the players. If everyone would buy in to the system rather then beraid it, maybe passion would show through your sons. Yall better be thankful that you have one of the best staffs in the state and get behind the program. If yall want to keep calling people out for thier knowledge then maybe I should not have called coach Keople @ SAU and told him he needed to jump on Mitchell, your DE, and #2 because he wants to offer all three, but your right ill start rooting for Greenbrier and leave you Vilonia people alone. so serious

that would explain why this senior class went undefeated and won conference their 9th grade year?? The Jr High coaches run the same offense as the Sr High..... its the same staff, same offense, different result. You cant just put it on the Jr. High coaches!!

Our DE and #2 did not play until their senior year and believe me Mitchell has been on SAU's watch list for a while now

The DE family is from Magnolia and his Grand Mother teaches there, so there is a connection

If you can help any player get signed I thank you

You started this by stating comments about our Jr high coaching staff that are completely false they are great motivators and help our program tremendously and keep the kids from leaving after their 9th grade year due to alot of the kids do not want to continue to play at the High school level. They help keep the numbers up.

If our HC told you that he had a problem with the way they teach football, shame on him. I know for a fact every kid he has would play for those guys any day, my son told me after their only lose his 9th grade year that Coach Stout and his staff not only taught them football, but also taught them how to be men. I will take those kind of coaches any day.

VEAGLE14 is right you can not put blame on the Jr high coaches the same group of seniors and Juniors this year lost 1 game during their 9th grade seasons

Title: Re: Vilonia Eagles
Post by: Captain_Caveman on December 01, 2010, 12:58:07 pm
My question is a simple one i guess.  This is Coach Bradley and I was there in Vilonia for 9 years.  Coached with Coach Stanley and was on the staff the year we made the finals.  I only got to see one game this year for obvious reasons.  I was at the Batesville game and the offense I saw was not the Double Wing.  In the true DW you have two TE's, foot to foot splits and the toss is the base play.  What I saw Vilonia run was more of the Slot with a split out and a lot of the triple option.  I saw one DW play run in the entire game. It was in the second quarter and was the double hand-off or the X-Reverse to be specific.  It went for about 2 or 3  yards and I didn't see a true DW play the rest of the night.  I have had discussions with Coach Stanley in the past offseasons and have even been  down to go over the offense and how we are doing things and some changes we have made to the offense here as well.  He explained to me why he had gotten away from the true DW and gone more to the option. 

I remember the year they went to the spread with Puckett.  He was a great QB, but they depended on him to run it.  Coach Stanley has told me on many occassions that he doesn't want to run an offense where he is that dependent on one player.  That is what is so good about the DW. 

Having been here at Cave City for five years now and starting the HS program, I can tell you that running the double wing, we have never failed to have a 1,000 yard rusher, not even in the first year of the program.  We have had multiple 1,000 yard rushers twice and have a player in his three years rush for over 3,000.  It has been good to us and we will continue to use it in the future.  We will however, will use some more of the option because we are seeing more of what Coach Stanley was seeing when he switched to more option. 

Coach Stanley is a good coach and I enjoyed working with him.  He does a good job and I know that people are upset to some extent that the season didn't go as expected, but all in all with the head coaches wife battling cancer, I think they did pretty well. 

As far as the offense goes, remember, Gus Malazahn's offense won't work in the SEC either.  Famous last words.  Any offense will work with proper execution and effort.  I have found the biggest key to us running it successfully here is the strenght level of our linemen.  When we are strong up front we do well.

Good Luck to the Eagles in the future.  I enjoyed being at the game and seeing a lot of old friends.  Getting to be on the halftime show was a joy. 

Thanks for the great years and all the memories V-Town.

Post by: DeepCoverage on December 01, 2010, 11:03:03 pm
Coach it was great seeing you at the game. I also enjoyed your post and I agree with some of it. Vilonia ran out of the option most of the year and not the DW,agree. I have to say though we did depend on 1 person running the ball the majority of the time and it was our QB, if Stanley did not want to depend on a QB running the ball why would we go to the option.
I am now hearing we are looking at the pistol, how many different offenses should you try before you get it, who is this offense geared for. I also hear #6 is not going to play QB, well the last time I watched a good pistol offense run it was last week beating Boise State. In that game Nevada threw it 35 times who do we have that can throw the football besides #6 that many times and complete half of those passes.

I do not understand what is happening to our football program and I am sure the program itself has no clue either.

I think since 2003 this is the 4th different offense we have tried, maybe the 5th

I like the pistol I believe it is what we should have been doing more of this year

and yes throw it 35 times

Coach Bradley:  Classy post but the only option vilonia used was DK right DK left DK up the middle.  And let me tell you I have a lot of respect for DK and his ability and toughness but good teams keyed on him and had really shut us down.  The double wing has more options than this option offense.

You are right about the option.  I noticed that the qb kept it a lot.  However, in the game I saw when he did give it to the fb, batesville did a very good job of stuffing him.  Their were several in the first half that he gave to the fb that I thought he could have kept the ball.  He did before half and scored on the long run, however, batesville was disguising their defense pretty well.  They did a good job of giving him the handoff read for the most part and still making the play on the fb.  It really just came down to turnovers for the most part.  3 on your own end of the field is bad enough, but inside the 30 and playing a 1 seed on the road, you really need to play mistake free to have a shot to win the game. 

Reminded me of the quarterfinal game we had at Harrison.  They were higher ranked and had the home field winning streak.  We played mistake free, got a couple of breaks and won the game.  The next week played what I think anyone who saw the game, was a bigger, faster, more talented Crossett team at Vilonia and won the game.  Their is something to be said for playing at home.

Apparently, takes a pure love of the game to play football in Vilonia. I agree with you deep coverage, it's def. not the system that makes players want to play!  Nothing will get better if nothing ever changes..

Thing is Vilonia did try to change. They attempted to go into the Spread, but with little success and pressure from fans they resurrected the old Double-Wing T. Many of the 5A West members were caught off guard the year they unveiled it, but once the kids saw film and understood that assignment football meant "assignment football" it is easier to stop b/c you know what that team wants to do. Once you stop that and truly make them one-dimensional then you have your way with them. They can generate points fairly quickly, but if they cannot build up enough of a lead the opposing team will chip away at it and have the opportunity to seal the victory in the 4th Qtr.

Post by: Silverstine on February 16, 2011, 11:12:55 am
I agree PP.  Over the years, every team in the 5A west has developed schemes to stop it. On paper it's a very complex offense to stop on defense but in reality, all a defense has to do is plug the holes in the line by filling gaps and it shuts down the whole offense.  If you never use your ends in a passing game out of it then it's completely one demensipnable.  Plug the holes with backers an shut down the outside. STOPPED.

The same thing is true about the triple option attack Vilonia ran last year. Stop the veer and key knowles. The only time vilonia passed it was when they through a 50 yard bomb downfield and prayed for rain.  It doesn't take a COMPLETE genius to run an offense.

I'm guessing on this one so help if I'm wrong

The offense was changed for Knowles last year for his style of play

Will it be changed this year since Knowles is a senior and will be gone
Title: Re: Vilonia Eagles
Post by: Silverstine on February 16, 2011, 12:47:03 pm
I can't tell you if it was changed for Knowles or not, but if it wasn't he fit the job for a running quarterback I'd say. Even though personally I think he could have been an even better quarterback if given the chance to spread it out every once in a while.

Rumor has it that Vilonia is pushing the idea of the pistol got next year. They've been working on it throughout offseason so far, but we'll see.
Title: Re: Vilonia Eagles
Post by: Silverstine on February 16, 2011, 12:55:35 pm
If the offense wasn't changed for his style of play, it was definitely adapted to his style of play. I'm just ready to see if there is anyone next fall season that will make a deep enough impact to change the offense as well and if it will be for the better.
Title: Re: Vilonia Eagles
Post by: DeepCoverage on February 16, 2011, 12:58:16 pm
Thanks for the info

I think the pistol would be a great change
there is no one in the stable that can run last years offense the way drew did

I have to say I would like to have seen him running the ball or catching screens and watch him go

That is how I would have spread him out

Drew could run and throw it a mile
what i saw was problems with his short passes like my short game in golf
Title: Re: Vilonia Eagles
Post by: Silverstine on February 16, 2011, 01:16:48 pm
Agreed. He was a good quarterback in the triple option, but didn't have all of the aspects of a spread quarterback. Don't get me wrong, he is a great athlete and a great running quarterback, but everyone has their own weaknesses and his was hitting that 5 yard out or 15 yard dig across the middle.

Short passes win games.  A quarterback has to be consistent in the spread; he was consistent in te run.

Good points. My beef all year was to throw some to the ends. Instead our passing game was basically  a few hail mary's each game on third and long.  So many times teams played off our wideouts by almost 10-15 yards because they knew we would not attempt those short passes. Some quick slants would have done wonders against the hard west teams. Henderson has a good arm for the short game with his accuracy from I have heard. We return 3 year starters from the backfield in Sax, Weidi, and Lewis. If we could mix in some short/med passing we could have a deadly O???

Deepcoverage, again I like the pistol
I honestly think it will be a very long season with so many seniors leaving, but the idea of a little more short game is great

If Silverstine is correct and we try the pistol it will be exciting to watch

There is a bunch of different options out of that offense you can do it is reading the D by the QB
that I saw Oregon QB do when beating Boise

To answer that brier cat, we had the talent to do better than we did but we just didn't get it done.  Not on the same field as GW, plain and simple fact. QB Knowles will go to Henderson ST, DE Thomas to OBU, and DB Mitchell to OBU.  Not bad at all as you see we had some real talent out there on the field. Several other SR football players will get offers in state to play baseball and track before the end of the year.

All of u sound like idiots. I watched a lot of vilonia film this year evaluating talent and the coaches did a great job with what they have. maybe in your backwoods world u had great players but they are very average and only one was a legitiment d-1 guy the rest have no hope. U have no speed size or athletic ability compared to other top notch schools. After talking to stanley the main reason we stopped recruiting a few of the players was thier lack of effort and exicution in practice. Coach at the Jr level was the main reason he pointed to for the lack of basic football knowledge having to be retaught

Are you serious

Feelings hurt? Baseball sissys? HAHA. That's funny right there.  I'm on the high school squad at vilonia and I as well as a lot of other players understand.  They were good friends and always will be.
I'm sure they have their own legitimate reasons and it's no ones place to shoot accusations.

Answer the question the man asked you, which coaches did you talk to

maybe that is the problem, you do not even have a clue what you're saying and most likely do not even no the coaches 

read what Silverstine is saying, he knows and understands just as a lot of the other players and myself.

go watch film                       I know both of the sissy baseball players and they would like to meet you when you can.  worried about a spot, you are a joke and if a coach did say that then he is a joke

Hogskin, if you talked to the head man and you quoted what he said, how could you or any of the players have any respect for a man who is so unprofessional and immature.  If this is true,  it should be taken up with the AD of the Vilonia Schools. 

As far as players having to work for their spots, why should they not have to work for their spots in football as well as any other sport.  Since some of them are 2 year starters for the football team they would know they would have to give it their all.

Until the AD puts a stop to all the coaches infighting at Vilonia things will never change.  You can't kick players off the football team because they go to baseball, during baseball season,    (conference)  two or three times.    Go Eagles

Sounds like the "head guy" is very opinionated.  Instead of blowing things out of proportion and kicking players off of the team (numerous times), maybe a solution would be better fit.
You can't build a program Whenever you have so many people going against you with strong purpose.

It's not always the fans and players that's the problem..

You also can't build a program whenever a coach is going against the sport that is in session or conference play; just like windbox said. I guess I'll stay confused about some decisions.

He can't build a program kicking everyone off the team that wants to play other sports

Football is not 12 months long

What a motivator this guy is, no wonder they quit or was kicked off ( 2 times ) for playing baseball games instead of lifting weights

look out for the young ones parents, you will have to deal with this guy soon, or maybe the school board will wake up, because the ad sure want

"sissiy little baseball boys"- Hogskin quote
This thread has gone into a soap opera spin. First off, Hogskin, why would you not give the coaches name
out because you are already trying to upset our program with the comments you have made about
the lack of talent many a time. You are supposedly saying certain coaches are calling the boys sissies for the ones that want to play more than 1 sport. I say take your ARSE back to Ole Miss cause that is what you PM'd me back last season where
you took your business.  If you are a scout like you said you were then keep your business to scouting and
concentrate on that. Why would you come on this board to say the things you do like the way you do???
Sounds to me like you got an agenda? We all know you are head over heals for the DB coach. You have promoted him
many a time on here.  If you really do represent a college then you have outclassed yourself with the way you have slandered our V program. Now go finish playing tag with your mysterious coaching friends.  ;D

Coach, Darn it that your boy won't play next season! He was a very good player at safety and my boy appreciated
him stepping up after his own tough SR year with injuries. I know H will be an even greater asset to the baseball season next year. Sorry to hear he won't play his SR year though. H was tough kid out there on the field and made plays very consistently. I'd like to meet skinny with you as well. I believe several others would as well. i guess we will see if that really will happen or not.

In reading and thinking about all of this (and adding a few other things to the mixture) it's little wonder the sports atmosphere at Vilonia is caustic.  And that is a shame for the athletes because the small amount of excitement and school spirit generated leads to a general apathy with respect to school sports in Vilonia.

Post by: InYoGrill on May 25, 2011, 10:01:44 pm
Dawg, you may be right.

I'll say it on here first for this coming season, if we run 90% doublewing, we will not finish any better than 5th or 6th place. I think the conference will be stronger including the recent bottom feeders. Harrison I'm not sure what they have returning, M I hear is getting things going in the right direction with McNabb (good D coach), SS has a good team returning with a solid qb in Pippen, and well then we got our for sure W against Hurtsville. The top 3 will remain the top 3 this season.

We had the best group of talent and numbers in years last year and we flopped bad against the top dogs. Until we throw a few short/med passes down field other than on 3rd and long we will never be in the top 4 in the West again, IMHO. The West is too fast scoring for our base plays to catch up behind 14-20 pts in the 2nd half of games. Proven fact last 3 years I've followed the program.

I only missed 1 game in 3 years when mine played those 3 years on the varsity squad so I have a little bit of a feel for this coaching staff and team. We got a lot of good players coming back and our kids work very hard in the program. Mine showed me that those years along with his other SR teammates. I hope we make the playoffs and stay competitive especially against the top 3 but I'm worried about our play calling and if we have any experience at qb, since our top returning qb is not playing this season.

Go Eagles, prove me wrong- PLEASE!

If yall want to meet just come to the elite camp June 2 with Sax. My agenda is simple, to prove that 1 outsider looking into this program and throwing out some crazy accusations will get the whole town wanting to fight each other. I tried to give compliments about your staff and yall continue to bash them. The problem is the parents and the town it sounds like. Football is a 365 days a year to be successful, I understand that other sports are popular as well but we looked at 5 of yalls players in the past 2 years and what we saw was a lack of commitment to football. I think they will be good small college players and get a great education but the TE and many others were labled as inexperienced because of lack of football due to sitting out, we really liked him.
Sax is a talent hopefully he puts up some impressive numbers at camp so we can get him away from all the haters in your area. Get behind your team and the staff they do an outstanding job and quit trying to poisen the players with your negativity.

This school year-

Football- 4th in the West, playoffs
Track- West champs and 2nd in state
Baseball- 3rd in the West, playoffs

Pretty good  job to all the young men at V from 9th-12th!

Problem being the town and parents? Hmm, football is a big part of most small towns in AR duing the last half of the yaer.. Sure the town and
parents get involved but I will tell you we are a PROUD town and we take care of our own. Especially after the
tornado. Now for you to throw your garbage and agenda out to us during this recovery time is an insult to every
person associated with the school and program. Shoo away and go find a small town in MS to play your comedy and XBOX

It used to be that an athlete could participate in multiple sports in High school but now days things have changed. Now if an athlete wants to go to college on an athletic scholarship he (or she) has to concentrate on 1 sport 365 days a year, playing during the season and off season training the rest of the year. With the pressure to win on college coaches and the minimum number of scholarships available, scholarship athletes must arrive on campus in tip top shape and at the top of their game in their chosen sport so they can no longer take the time to be multi-sport athletes in High School.

In V's case we are lucky to have 2 or 3 go in football in any one year.  Past year we had 3 go to either OBU or HSU. A kid should be able to play as many sports as he or she wants to as long as the extra is still being done to keep that person competitive during that seasons sport such as weight lifting in the spring for football or running extra in the winter for track and so on.  Any coaching staff that says to a kid you play this sport 365 or you don't stay on the team is setting themselves up to have a short career where ever they are at.

You are correct in that most High School athletes do not go to college to play sports but most High school athletes work hard at trying to get an athletic scholarship just to pay for their education even if it's a scholarship to a small school like UAPB. There are a a small number of "Elite" athletes that play college ball on scholarship with the opportunity to go pro but most are just trying to pay for their education.

         Most, if not all, kids play because they love playing the game and its fun for them. Whatever that game may be. When the game is not fun or they lose a littel of that love, It get harder to play and have fun doing it. We as parents and or coaches, need to keep it fun for the players.

         Most, if not all, kids play because they love playing the game and its fun for them. Whatever that game may be. When the game is not fun or they lose a littel of that love, It get harder to play and have fun doing it. We as parents and or coaches, need to keep it fun for the players. Kids now a days have a lot of options. They will choose the most FUN option.
i am not taking sides in this because i don't know any of these people or what is really going on in vilonia. i disagree about it all has to be fun. that goes back to the p.c. crap of everyone getting a trophy and not keeping score. football like life is not fun every minute of every day but with the right coaches in charge it teaches you character and how to be a man.

    Now for the ones that are playing. We have a good group of boys returning. The Qb position is a major ??????? and our depth is a major???????? only 31 boys dressed for final spring pratice with 3 not dressed.. Thats 34 Kids out for spring ball. The ones that will play will play the whole game.. The 4thq will be will not be pretty. But I'll be there good or bad, pretty or not, Cheering and complaining I'll be there. Go EAGLES Go.

My son's senior year he had a complete tear of his left knee. ACL, PCL, MCL, Meniscis, 4 games from the end of regular season. He skipped one game, but the next game was Senior Night followed by the Greenwood game. The doctor told him if he wanted to play through the pain in a brace, there was nothing more he could do to the knee. Even though he was 6' 260lbs at the time he was still Daddys little boy and Dad said "Son you're done". Son told Dad in so many words what he could do with being done! He was playing out the season. The turkey won the Fort Smith Radio Group Player of the Week on his Senior Night with only a metal brace supporting his weight off the line. As worried as I was in the stands, I could not have been prouder for him! I promiss you, fun had nothing to do with that night. That's football, with the character and determination it and a great coaching staff teaches!!!

Ironically it was the Vilonia game he tore his knee out at!

         Thats called love for the game, and love for his team mates. I bet the joy of playing in that last game that he had worked so hard for made it worth the pain, That is for the love of the game.  When kids lose that love they dont play... If you dont have that love its not fun anymore..

I completely disagree.  You look at the programs in Arkansas that are winning and you will find that those kids are practicing and working hard just like the old days.  They understand that hard work and discipline and sacrifice are neccessary for success.  I agree with saying their are more things for kids to do but those programs that win still uphold traditional values and that is happening in programs across our state. 
yep, kids in nashville play football and baseball and i bet every minute of football isn't fun.

To answer your question on how many are playing baseball in college now, 2 and a few more after next year, Vilonia has had quite a few kids go and play college baseball. The way things are going now the baseball team from 10th to 12th grade will dress out more than 34.

The only problem with that is College baseball scholarships are far more limited than are College football scholarships so unless a player is at the "Elite" level and opts to turn down being drafted into the Pros to go to college he isn't likely to be offered a scholarship.

I know one of those boys personally very well on the baseball team. He (T.B.) is going to HSU for the love of the game
to earn a partial baseball scholarship. His parents couldn't be any more happier with his decision.

My son played 7th-12th for the Eagle program and he went through a broken arm, dislocated elbow, lower back rehab, and
two serious hospital  times with dehydration issues. My son would do it all over again in a heartbeat because he loves football. He was like a labrador fetching footballs since he could walk.

So if we only have 34 players, are there any sophomores playing or have there been that many that will be Juniors and Seniors next year left?  If my math is right, even with the six or 7 that was kicked off, there still should have been that many from last years team.  I hope I am wrong, but I do not see 3 or 4 players getting scholarships this year in football. 

Was really looking forward to watching a team with a little different offense this year.  It is very boring to watch 3 downs and punt.  Prove us wrong boys, make this an exciting year for the fans to watch.

SAX D-1, Jauch D1A or better after season, Wiedimier D-2, Calhoun D-2.
I was hoping to see Sax this week at our elite camp but it turns out he wont be able to come. If he ran anywhere near 4.4 like we have herd from the staff, with his size we were going to offer as an athlete hoping he will have a break out senior year and steal him away.

He is an animal out on the field. He should get some D2 offers with another good year. His dad is a great asset to the V PeeWee league. Anyone heard about T.Lewis? I hope he plays this year. He was a big part of our offense last year. I heard from a buddy of mine that is related to H.Cotton that he may be QB'ing some this year? Any one else know that? He is a very good athlete with a quick long stride, great size, and very competitive!

I won't answer that one cause you know my answer and its not good at all. Coach Stout had a rough year
last year. In fact those 9th graders moving up have not had much success through the years. It is a good size
group with a lot of big boned thick kids but they have struggled since PeeWee for many of them. I know cause when
my 9th grader played back then and I helped coach them some and we just did not win much.

As far as Cotton, he placed 3rd at the 5A west conf. championships in the 300m hurdles as a 9th grader!
So yes, he has wheels but does he have a supporting cast and I believe he played mostly wing back last year.
He needs to get some meat on his bones if he plays a lot as a soph and he will start somewhere on the field.
He is that good of athlete.

He should play alot as a soph since we are dressing out 31 kids, may have to bring up some 9th graders before it is all over with

I watched him play baseball last night he did well ........good athlete

I heard head guy told Knowles and Mitchell that he would be at qb this year, and that is even before Henderson was booted, hard to understand this guy

it is getting a little easier to understand the kids decisions when you can get more to play in Hector than you can in Vilonia. Hang in there boys!

Go Eagles!
Title: Re: Vilonia Eagles
Post by: InYoGrill on June 07, 2011, 07:21:14 pm
If it in deed was 31 during the spring game then I don't anticipate that many more coming back on the team by two a days. Even if the numbers were to be near 40 that would be embarrassing for the size of our school to field a  team in the 5A West with so little depth. I know those that survive the HOT rugged summer workouts will be warriors whether they are skilled or not so I commend all the players and their parents regardless of the outcome this year with the record and performance. I'll root them on either way but with the nice facilities and good size  5A student population we should every year be at least .500 imo.

Heard in a conversation last night that T. Lewis was kicked off the football team before baseball season ended because of a injury from baseball.  Also heard the AD knows this.  Guessing the head man and AD know what is best for the team.  With a school as large as Vilonia, maybe stuff like this is the reason they only have 31 players going out for football.  Not looking good for the Eagles, but I wish them the very best.

woman or sissy,  do you believe everything you hear?  If student athletes are not willing to do what it takes to be players then they will bring the team down in the long run.  Thus the team is better off without them.  Shame on you for supporting your kids to be lazy.

Post by: 3up3down on June 10, 2011, 11:55:05 am
It is not gossip, he called him out in front of everyone in the field house, his leg was injured and could not do lunges correctly because of it. I think that was the 2nd time he was booted.

No, I am not the head guy, if I was I would get those student athletes back on my football team as soon as I could.

I'm not a nobody, I'm a tax payer that can attend school board meetings............coach! The problem with Vilonia is most of the town has someone working or involved with the school in some way, well I don't, so I have no problem telling you or any one else where your problems are while I'm looking you in the eye and not behind your back.

I'm sure they will have to go to D-DAY and back to make up for the loss of the other half of the team. You did see we are petitioning to go down to the 4A right. LOL! only way it to be fair.

Turftime, it is agreed football will be here long after these boys leave.  I am so very proud of these boys, they are mature enough to make decisions for their future.  Of course, they did not want to lift weights on the mornings that they had to get on a bus and travel for 2 to 3 hours to a conference baseball game.  I would assume that the head guy told you this as well.  Seems you and hogskin really want to trash the boys, but even the boys that are playing football understand that after being kicked off 2 or 3 times, they don't want to play for someone they don't respect.  So go ahead, trash these 6 or 7 players, but you should concentrate on the doublewing again this year.  The other 5A West schools know these plays well.  What happened to the Pistol?

Frustrated Vilonia Fans a question.  What do you hope to achieve by continuing to trash your football coach and program.  I do believe he won a state title running the offense that he currently runs.  You guys have nice facilities and a new turf field.  A great school and a tight knit community.  What would make the program better and how is the continued dialogue of negativity helping.

I've seen very little trashing in this thread by what appear to be Vilonia people / supporters.  I have seen some good questions asked though and as I have maintained previously, every program should periodically review what it is doing to make sure everything it does is in the best interests of the student-athletes, school, and families.

Great post sevenof400......No they have not achieved considering the talent that they have had,IMO. I don't see it this year either. I am a frustrated Vilonia fan Defender that lives in a wonderful community, but there is a problem when you can only dress out 30 to 34 players.

Vilonia has played in 1 state title game that I remember and that would be around Cowlgers senior year and  Have not come close since.

The offense we are speaking of vtown22 is 4th and 6 and double handoff.

The offense is great when executed correctly and you get a lead and control the clock, understand "get the lead", it is not and will never be a come from behind offense. It is a offense you run against the old style teams like Wynne used to be. The yellow jackets ran a similar style for years and was very successful.

I will end my talk on this thread with 1 final note.......Conway Wampus Cats........Change can work

Been missing you yhammer. Where be the one and only superstar RTR? Oh I forgot probably still in the gym
looking at himself, LOL! You look good Bro!

Agreed with previous posts, the system worked back then with the same kind of philosophy but now and
especially in our conference, it is the death offense. If it was used with adjustments and some tweaking
especially when behind by a couple td's it might make us more competitive. Basically we let last years team
become a BIG disappointment the way we finished against good competition. Those SR's (23 of them) and
JR's were top teams in their 9th grade years. Very good numbers and talent. The O works against weak teams and slower scoring teams other than that it is a clock killer if it works. Our O against the good teams last few years has suffered by the limited play calling and the other teams obvious defensive strategy- stack the box with all you got.  The second half of many games has been the most embarrassing of it all. From what I have been told by many players when we get behind badly there is no motivation and few words to INSPIRE the boys to bring it in the 2nd half. To run the same handful
of plays that didn't work inthe 1st half to be repeated in the 2nd half is mind boggling- basically trying to run the clock out and limit the beating on the scoreboard. Confusing to say the least.  Mix it up, be unpredictable and show your players you care for them.

LOL! "Fancy football?" Great coach??  Barely .500 over the last 3 years. Unprepared in the past two first round blowout
playoff games. Passing coach? How about 1 pass a quarter other than on 3rd or 4th and along and throwing Hail Mary's. . Got to say most teams pass a little to mix up the playcalling. I like Stanley as a person but as a coach he needs to adapt to changing some things on the field that aren't
working. Not just my opinion, a lot of people's opinion in town. And stupid, haha, you must be his brother or brother inlaw

No relation.  In fact, I will go as far as saying he is one of the most respected coaches in the state.  When he finally decides to leave or is asked to leave, because of yahoos like you---he will easily find a job of equal or greater value to his current position.

Stanley's biggest problem is he listened to enough of you long enough to tinker with the spread and then you all went off the deep end.  He should have just stayed confident, proud, in charge, and stuck to what made him a great coach.

He's a doublewing coach, thru and thru.  You can't see 99% of the changes he's making in game, and on top of that, he's doing what needs to happen at that school to be successful.

Go ahead, continue running him out of town.  Enjoy the next 10-15 years of even worse football than you are seeing now.

Yes, Vilonia only averages a playoff trip every 6.7 years.  They've done a lot better than that in the Stanley era.

Vilonia has only been to the playoffs 11 times.  Two of those times have been in the last 5 years.

Think about this.  The closest Vilonia had been to a conference championship prior to the Stanley era was 1984. 

One of the worst historied teams in the state of Arkansas and he had them down by 7 in the third round of the playoffs.

Vilonia has forgotten their roots and thinks they are too big for stanley now, when in reality they were more than despicable for years and years.

Vilonia missed their opportunity last year to go far in playoffs.  With the group of seniors this year he should have done well.  Don't see playoffs for another 6.7 years, especially with the doublewing!!  Can't have coaches for the other team calling out to their players what play we are running as soon as we line up on the field.  All coaches had to do was watch film and they knew all 6 of our plays.  It is not going to work anymore.

Only Siloam scored more points against Greenwood than Vilonia did.

They averaged 18 pts per game against the 3 ahead of them in the conference.

They only failed to score 21 three times, the entire season.

Did I mention, they did this, going 7-4 with one of the statistically worst defenses in 5A?

Stanley has a very good overall record and has been successful in his coaching career. No doubt about the facts, I don't argue that. I have talked to the man several times through the years and he is a very nice and talkative person.

But the program needs some changes to be made period!

1st option- he be less play predictable, PASS some in the offense, KEEP his head UP during the whole game, and have a reach out to the boys not on the team. Not saying for him to give in but to just try and have a better understanding between everyone involved. From almost 60 to 30's is too dramatic drop for that to be normal.

2nd option- Pack his bags and head to 4A or lower ball. I'd guess Bigelow or Rose Bud could use a good run game.

Go Eagles!!!

It is not going to work anymore.

Averaging 32 points.  Offense is not the problem.

You are so married into his philosophy. 32 pt avg when? Playing against the top 4in conference each season. Playing against playoff teams?? Or mostly skewed against subpar .500 teams like Sylvan Hills, Huntsville, or Morrilton. Against the teams with some honchos more like 13. School spent BIG monies to WIN with the turf and new weight room. Town wants to move forward and be a
consistent winner. Town supports the team very well. Get out of your 50's belly plays and look forward Guru.
You say the facts about our program and facts don't lie but the FACT is the school district is growing and very well soon one day may move up even further in class. So we need to prepare now and plan to incorporate a system
to win now. In winning schools like GW it's all about your coaching and the kids buying into it. It is a new generation of football and the people want change except football RUN ONLY people like yourself. It's not happening in V.


Good post but I disagree with the line in bold. For Greenwood and other programs like theirs it's about the system more than it is about coaching just as Gus's program was at Springdale. While a few players from those programs are the exception and become great players, most are products of a system and are unable to function in other different systems (Mustain).

MY TEAMS are spread teams that run a little Single Wing in the redzone.  I'm hardly stuck in the 50's.

Running a good coach out of town isn't the answer, folks, plain and simple.  Once you finally succeed at getting rid of him, the ship will only sink farther.  Sad part is, by then, you will all have distanced yourself so much from that program I won't see you on here to make you eat crow.

I like my crow medium well. I would rather eat crow than watch what is happening to this football program The 1 offensive mind at Vilonia, Coach Jordan, was never let go to run the offense that could win games...............

Coach Stout coaches the Sr. High track team. He is also the head JH football coach. There's a reason the kids play/run hard for him. Yeah, this past JH season might have been rough for him but the kids that have played for him in the past are seen in and out of the JH field house all the time. He's a class act coach that reaches out to the kids. Props to him and his staff.

Again the track teams both girls and boys were AWESOME this year!!! Great job Eagles of representing the town and school. I know this for a fact that those that would have been borderline for track this year decided to come out to run for championships and for Coach Stout!! Very well accomplished this year.

The kids are making their choices about sports and their parents are supporting them.  Don't know of any mommy or daddy that has pulled their kid out of any sport.  I agree with IYG, every student that had the junior high coaches loved and respected them.  Coach Stout truly cared about his players and gave them respect as well.  This should be all about the kids, but somewhere between junior high and senior high kids get left out.  So proud the track program is growing in numbers, that is great, maybe some of those players will come add numbers to the football team.  Last year, with 50-60 players, when we played some of the other 5A west teams, our numbers looked small on the sideline, imagine this year with 30 players on the sideline.  There is a serious problem.

I think all programs lose kids between Jr and Sr High.  Monticello averages about 50 kids per class in 8th and 9th grades, but only 15 to 20 in 10th thru 12th.

They averaged 18 pts per game against the 3 ahead of them in the conference.

They only failed to score 21 three times, the entire season.

Did I mention, they did this, going 7-4 with one of the statistically worst defenses in 5A?

SWG is a YOUNG coach, born and raised in Ark and I believe he has coached a state championship team, his resume speaks volumes more than ANYONE posting here.

I understand how many parents in today's society seem to think they know what is best for their high school athlete but its hardly ever the case.  Unless you have played through high school, and/or played in college or coached above the 7th grade you really don't have the X's and O's knowledge to sit in the stands on Friday or go on a chat board and say a particular coach's system isn't worthy.  Go to practice EVERY day and look at what your coach is doing for the team then, sit in the meetings and learn the philosophies behind what your coach (and staff) is hoping to accomplish on the field.  Look at the kids playing ball, its pretty hard to run the spread or any other kid of "modern" offense without the necessary ingredients: linemen that can pass block, a QB that can pass, WR's that can get open and catch.  The single wing, double wing, veer, etc is an offense that is designed to hit quick, pick up a few yards and wear the opponent out physically and mentally.  I've seen Vilonia play a few times over the last 4 years and to me they don't have the size up front, or the "athletes" to run a pass orientated offense, what they run is what matches up to their players. 
Another thing, someone mentioned kids "buying in to the program".  That is VERY important confidence and mental attitude are as, or more important in high school sports that physical ability.  If the parents and the fans are talking negatively about the coach, the staff, the game plan, etc., the players will hear this and it WILL be carried on to the field.  Do NOT let the players hear your "expert" opinions or YOUR team will not play up to expectations.  Not everyone can be PA, not everyone has the kids in the program that can play PA/Shiloh/etc. type of football.  Take what you have and make the best of it or get used to .500 or below seasons.  Pass happy coaches don't win with players that aren't the type to play that game..........ask Searcy.

I looked at the roster the other night and counted 24 seniors, 15 juniors and about 20 sophs I believe. I think I counted about 8 jr's that played a lot this year and 1 soph that I know of. It may be a long off season. The 9th grade went winless. Good JR High coaches but the kids just couldn't get it done plus the same system like the high school. I coached some of these 9th graders back in 5th grade and even then I knew it would be hard to win with that group. Some years you got great ones and some years you don't.

If my count is right that would be 35 moving up and 9th grade last year I think had 29

Should be around 64 - 7 = 57.............but we claim there is only 34 out this spring....did we count any to be 10th graders to be...............lot more than 6 or 7 out....something is wrong here

I know COACH D would love to see his kid play his senior year just like alot of other parents these are 17 year old kids making these decisions on their own, without the parents. The parents just have to back the decision made by the kids. There are problems that the parents do not see, they just hear about.

No motivation or leadership to buy into. You are just peeking in the door we see it everyday and every year, numbers are going down, someone must be wrong in what they are doing. We lost 24 seniors we had over 24 9th graders, the eagles are at 30 to 34 kids. The blame must stop being put on the kids and the parents, I know alot of these kids and they love football, most have been playing since the 4th grade. There has to be a reason beyond what we hear for these kids to drop out, like I said these kids love the Friday night lights, just lost the respect of the man they were busting there tails for.............they earned the respect but never got any

It happens everywhere, today's 9th grade stud is tomorrow's "I don't play anymore because............"  It seems to occur more in the kids that have been playing since they were 6 and have parents who are on the upper level of the socioeconomic status and never played football at all or were on the team and not as good as they thought they were.  These kids have been pushed and pushed and daddy coached until they are fed up with the entire process.  I'm not saying that is happening in Vilonia to all the kids, but I bet there are a few where this is the case.  It happens allot more in "bed room" communities (Cabot, Bryant, Conway, Beebe, etc.) than it does in towns where the residents are generational and just good ole country folks.

I agree to a certain point BUGEATERS, but in this case the main 6 or 7 everyone is really talking about were coached by there dads since they were 6..........in baseball.

That is what they are doing instead of playing football, so it does not apply here, they are not fed up with baseball, matter of fact they all are playing this summer instead of 7 on 7 or in the weight room, they have the love for baseball and respect the coach and he shows them respect.............and they all would be a big part of the football program, they are just done with this guy, really a shame.

I agree there are always some that drop out of football between 9th and 10th grade.  I think that is to be expected.  But why would boys drop out their senior year, when it should be their best year of high school, especially when they started the two prior years.  To be kicked off a team when you are injured and could further injure yourself is stupid.  That is not having any respect for the kid.  These kids the last couple of years had bought into the program and I am sure they would have this year until their respect was gone.  You have to give respect to earn respect and that is not happening.  Support the kids, that is what this should all be about, but the coach has to much pride to admit he was wrong, instead calling them sissy lazy baseball players.  This sounds like something a kid would say, but a coach, not so much.

Respect is a two way street.  If the kid gives no respect, then he deserves none, same for the coach, if he gives no respect then he deserves none.  It does not matter who the kid is.  But let me ask you SWG, what is this teaching the kid?  I have never know these kids to be disrespectful to any adult.  They were always taught to do the right thing.  Maybe the coach needs to learn this as well.

SWG:  you pretty well summed it up right there

I want to address the subject of "two sport athletes" for a moment.  Most of my time is spent in a gym, working out or training.  I get and have gotten many very good athletes through my doors during the summer and school breaks that want to improve their strength, speed, quickness, etc.  The problem with many of these kids is the other sport they are playing at the particular time is getting in the way of the sport they are trying to improve for.  IE:  if you are a promising football player, why are you playing AAU basketball during the summer?  You need to be improving on your football skills and hittin the weights......PERIOD.  or If you are a promising baseball player why are you taking time away from legion ball (or whatever summer team you play for) to do 7-on-7?  I'm not saying don't play two sports during the school year, but know what you have a future in and improve on that first.

I agree with Bugeaters to a point.  These boys do need to work on the sport that they hope to get a scholarship in to help further their education, and maybe that is what they are doing.  But for the football coach to call them Sissy's is completely uncalled for.  Could be a very good thing to get them away from this type of environment and attitude.  Kids don't need to put in the middle of situations.  Makes perfect sense there are only 30 on the football team.  Go Warriors!

The assumption here being the coach is blameless...(let me say here that I am talking about football coaches in general, not pointing out any specific coach).

Of all the sports, why is it that more than any other sport, football coaches think they should be beyond reproach?

1980- Coach doesn't like me, parents ask:
"WHAT DID YOU DO WRONG!"

2011- Coach doesn't like me, parents ask:
"Who the heck does he think he is, this yahoo doesn't realize my child is brilliant and an amazing athlete. If he'd change the offense, my son would have a scholarship right now!  OF COURSE you can drop Football, why wouldn't you with this guy at the helm?"

The assumption here being the coach is blameless...(let me say here that I am talking about football coaches in general, not pointing out any specific coach).

Of all the sports, why is it that more than any other sport, football coaches think they should be beyond reproach? 

1960: Coach:It's my way or the highway.
2000: Coach:It's my way or the highway.
2020: Coach:It's my way or the highway.

Not that I agree with your generalization of football coaches attitudes, but football is the ultimate TEAM sport.  In most cases, eleven assignments have to performed correctly on each snap of the ball for a play to a success.  No room for someone who will not execute their assignment to their best of their ability.

I understand where you are coming from Big Fan, and I do want to reemphasize I have had the good fortune to know some outstanding football coaches throughout the years.  I do not want to paint all football coaches in this negative light but it sure seems that I have encountered more totalitarianism among football coaches than any other sport. 

I do want to bring you back to the question I posed though - why haven't football coaches modified their approach over the years?  Whether we like it or not, today's high school athlete (and the society they live in) is not the same as it was in the 1960's, 1980's or even as recently as the turn of the century.

Because football is about discipline and we could certainly use more of that in the world today at ALL levels of society.

Advice:  If you want to be better understood on an internet message board, do not use words like totalitarianism.

And you are saying that basketball, baseball, softball, volleyball, soccer, track / field aren't about discipline?  You're illustrating the core of the problem with too many people who wrap their entire existence around football thinking it (football) is the only  measure in life.  It is this type of mind set that leads to the....totalitarianistic approach...

Sorry, but totalitarianism is an accurate description....far too often.

   As far as these kids loving the Jr high coaches I'm sure they do, or did when they played for him, but that was when these boys were 14-15 yrs old. My boy seemed to love and respect me at that age as well now I'm not so sure. Maybe because I say no a lot more now, then when he was younger. But that may be just me.....

Perhaps another way to look at this subject is that we need more coaches like Tony Dungy (in all sports).  Dungy (as all good coaches do) inspires instead of commanding.

I believe there are some Issues that need to be addressed. I fully support this program and whatever O we run I support it and encourage my boys to make the most of any chance to play. No matter what. He wants to quit we talk about it, and he understands that it is in his best INTEREST to play. I'm sure the other boys had that same talk, just came to a different understanding.

I just want to see the best athletes on the field. I want to make sure that WE, as a community and program supporters, do what we can to help that happen. If the boys just dont want to play no matter what, then so be it. If these kids are problem players then why are they playing other team sports with no problems?

My way or the Highway - this comes when a coach does not have to be accountable to anyone.  This seems to be very true at Vilonia, the AD don't care, apparently the administration does not care, so the school board needs to find out why a school of this size only has 30-34 players out for football.  I would be very interested in finding out the answer to that one question.  It is very apparent there is a problem, even with the seniors gone.

  " My way or the Highway" is only a problem when you don't win. Just look at the girls basketball coach. I know for sure its "his way or the highway". But he wins. and we will have to say that coach Stanly has won. Maybe not as many as some would like but he has won...

Maybe the AD cares and understands what is going on.  But just doesn't see it eye to eye with you.

It is his job to have a good athletic department.  His decisions are much less blinded by the type of things the general fan and parents is.

A school in a larger classification PLAYED IN A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP with 41 total players.  And yes, it happened in this century.

No one was asking why there was no one on that team.  They were just happy to be winning.

Funny how a little success poisons a whole town.  You don't see the wins, which is something your program hasn't had much of prior to him, you only see your own blind ambitions.

IN THE ENTIRE EXISTENCE OF THE PROGRAM:

1.  11 Total Playoff Appearances
2.  1 Conference Championship (1984)
3.  Lost almost twice as many post season games as won 7-11
4.  Overall history winning percentage of .433 (you win less than half your games in the programs history.

Let's look at...say... Wynne:

1.  27 Playoff appearances
2.  25 Conference Championships
3.  Winning playoff record 32-24
4.  All time winning percentage of .79 (Winning over 3/4ths of the games they play, all time)

There is also another arkansas high school football website that used to be partially affiliated with FF that this stuff is easily found on.  I won't mention it by name out of courtesy and respect to the user agreement.

All of this stuff is very easy to find.

Vilonia was bad for their entire existence before him.  If you think for a second he's not one of the principal reasons they are having ANY success right now, you are crazy.
How long have you kept up with vilonia football... You know there was some good football played under Bangs. Maybe not the playoff  berth but they only took two teams back then. I know that his 89-93 teams were 32-12 with two playoff wins. I know its not much But to say bad for their entire existence is flat out WRONG.

If the kid gives no respect, then he deserves none, same for the coach, if he gives no respect then he deserves none.

Fine...

People, legitimately PM telling me how Coach Stanley has SO DISRESPECTED these kids.  If I get a single one that seems legitimate I'll stop posting in this section.

I have a better idea, instead of this pm bull , let me buy you lunch this Friday you name the place and I will pickup the tab and talk about all these things that you know about these kids and Coach Stanley and good ole me.  now if you want you can pm me where you want to eat lunch


my gym, 2603 Poloron, suite J, Jax.  May take SWG a day or two to get here, but I'll have BBQ Shack cater

I'd imagine you are either a player, teacher, or coach from that early 90's era.

I don't fault you one bit for sticking up for your team or wanting that era to get the credit that you think they deserve.

So yeah, we could probably be friends.  I'm not the show up and fight someone because of an internet forum type.

Seriously, I have always believed it can ONLY help our D backs to work against passing teams. So are we? Last 2 years for sure have been weak participation in 7on7 leagues.  Two years ago maybe a week at Harding and barely that much last season at Heber.

Next- Who will be in our team camp in July? I remember last couple years- Jville, Catholic, and Central being involved.

Parasi training this year? UCA and/or OBU camps??

Hopefully the Eagles and the Goblins have gotten any "kinks" straightened out before next year, when SC and CV comes to the West after GW and SS leave.  We don't want them or the Airedales to think that they can make it to the top 4 seeds without a fight!  Change that, let us show that the Eagles with their smaller member team and the Goblins with their new coach will give GW and SS a "not so easy" farewell tour and that SC and CV will wonder if it was the right choice in coming to the 5A West next year.

Over the years watching that durn V-Wing (or whatever you call it), always gave us trouble and we had to play defense differant than when we played spread offense teams.  At least we had Mtn. Home with their Wishbone to practice on in nonconference.  Hey, I understand, 3 yards or more per down gets you across the field and a touchdown.  It is very a long drive and can wear down a defense.  Very tricky, the camera guys and commentators always had a hard time on locating where the ball is or was.  When we heard that you guys were starting to pass with that, I thought "OMG, what next".  Luckily, Mtn. Home has passed sometimes, back then.  I guess what I'm to say is that, go with what you know.  That V (whatever you call it) was unique in the 5A West and can wear down on a defense.  If you what to pass, go for it.  Leave us guessing each and every play....

Post by: InYoGrill on June 21, 2011, 08:11:35 am
Bug, that was a very written piece from the General. I would love to read more from him and his experiences.
But to re emphasize here again, my perspective as a fan would be to see V incorporate a system of pass plays that would help us win when given certain situations. Some teams like GW the past few years knew our plays as soon as we lined up in certain formations even to the point when our wingbacks had their feet turned at certain angles. All I have been saying is that when we have been behind by multiple touchdowns late in the game that the only way you have a chance to get back in the game is to air it out "some". If the ground game keeps you in the majoity of the games and gives you a chance to win then great. I don't care about razzle dazzle myself as long as the team has the best opportunities to win. I don't believe V is only about running that our kids can't grasp the concept of passing the ball "some". As much as these kids have to practice these days you think they could learn some extra plays and "execute" them if well coached. Let the kids play 7on7. Most enjoy the competition and for V it will HELP the D against passing teams plus it is extra conditioning and gets the kids out of the house and something like to do against other teams other than practicing against their teammates all the time.
Title: Re: Vilonia Eagles
Post by: powerlifter90 on June 21, 2011, 08:24:47 am
I agree, every team needs to be able to execute some type of pass offense.  Back in the General's day however Wynne threw MAYBE one pass a game, his offense was built on precision and discipline, which from reading the posts on here may be lacking some at V.  If the WB's feet are turned a certain way for a certain play my question is why.  Why do the players give away the play, I don't know about V, but when I played we were supposed to line up the same way on every play to keep this from occuring, I don't coach or play at V so I really don't know. 

Going back to what I said earlier, I've watched V play a couple games a year for the past few years and I really don't think they have the athletes to run the spread or a version of it.  V reminds me a lot of Mt. Home, smaller kids that run an offense that plays into the strengths of who they have to work with.

On the 7-on-7 and conditioning thing.......... hardly, if a kid wants to get better at ANY sport, playing that sport over and over isn't the answer.  If a player wants to improve at a particular sport, play that sport during the season and bust your butt in the wr and doing conditioning exercises during the off season.  I have now and have had many "decent" players that have come to me and wanted to get quicker and stronger during the summer.  But, we have a baseball game on this night, 7-on-7 on that night or like one kid AAU basketball.  Ok, I know the games are fun, but if you want to improve on strength and quickness there is only one way to do it and only one place to do it in.  Get your butt in the weight room and do that and eat all summer.........

What I saw last year it should not have mattered how their feet were turned.  They only ran 6 plays.  You have to have the players to get the precise timing down, also the blocks.  For the past few years they have run the same 6 plays, so maybe it is time to throw in a few new ones with some short passes instead of hail mary's.  18 players went to camp?  Looks like most players will be playing both ways, going to be some tired players defending the spread offense.  Just looking past this year and wondering what will happen next year, as a change has to be made sometime.  680 students - 30 players - enough said!!

Has anyone checked Greenwood's rushing totals over the last, say, 10 years?  Spread(or 4 wide), yes, but abandon the run, never! 

Actually, last year, the majority of completed passes were 3 ft. shovel passes that might as well have been rushing attempts..

Interesting point you bring up here 6 plays.  Honestly in high school football this is what most teams truly run.  In the spread the idea is a simple run game with more passes.  Most teams have three go to pass concepts and three go to run plays.  Now teams run alot more plays including screens, boot legs , sprint outs etc.  However most great teams 6 base plays always work and are executed to perfection.  I can tell you this is Stanley threw out of the double wing it would be a deadly combination.  Also I think Stanley runs some option doesnt he.  Tough offense to stop.

Thank you Defender! Point very well taken. It is an extremely hard O to defend when you don't see it but once a year
but to incorporate some short to med passes mixed in, well it would be very hard to defend and leave you second guessing whether to spread the defense some or not. i like how he spreads the ends at times but they are only used to downfield block and spread the corners. Seriously there times last year that the corners in many games played off 10-15 yards off the receivers and some quick slants would have really pushed the O downfield during critical times. Again I'm not the coach but gosh it was so obvious how open our receivers were when we were getting shut down on the run that I heard older women calling for a short pass.  Yes, we do run some option and Knowles had a banner year with it.

Go Eagles!

The option worked well for V-Town in some games last year.  But has anyone heard who is going to be the QB for sure this year?  None of the names I have heard mentioned have near the size or speed as Knowles, and with the only one with experience gone, do we have someone to step up into that position?  I have read what Coach Campbell has written also, he is a very educated man and knows a lot about football.  I think that is what Stanley has been trying to do for years here, but it has not worked.  Apparently he had a great team before he came here, but has never had the team to do it here.  Personally, I think the team has been there, where has the coach been?

JR Kyle Wyatt will probably be the early season starter. Good athlete but a lot smaller than Knowles. He will have to play mistake free football for us to have any chance this year. That is asking a lot of someone who basically got 0 snaps during any meaningful games last year.  I would not surprised to see if Houston plays some QB this year.

You would have to give either of those boys credit for putting themselves out there in the 5A West.  It is going to be a very tough year for either of them.  Defender, last year we could not defend against Greenwood and I expect they will take conference again this year.  I see the top four being Greenwood, Alma, Greenbrier and someone, but not V-Town.

All of the V-Town fans support the kids, other than that enough has been said.  How could fans effect their season, either they win or they lose.  To many plays last year that the fans in the stands did not understand.  We were 4 in conference this past year, won't happen this year.

You are forgetting about a rejuvinated, re-energized Harrison Goblin football team there Veagle fans. The conference will finish up Greenwood Greenbrier Alma Harrison and you can mix those 4 around.

Vilonia will get the four spot if for no other reason by default.  they are better than Morrilton, Huntsville, and Siloam wont match up with their physical front.  However if Vilonia fans want to for sure wreck their season then dont support the coach.

Better than Huntsville and Siloam, maybe but not Morrilton

I'm wondering about our first 3 games, Sylvan Hills(maybe) Wynne(no) Beebe(no)

I agree with the post-season picks, but I do think Alma will finish better than third this season. Alma will have to beat Greenbrier to ensure at least the 2nd Seed and of course if they want the 1st seed from the west it goes through the defending 5A State/West champion Greenwood in November.

Simply put Alma needs to "Just win baby. Just win." - Al Davis

Dead period or not, there is no reason that a player can't go to lift at their school as long as a coach is not there.  Point in case, my son (class of '10) lifted every chance he got at the Cash Center and got a State Championship Ring for weightlifting in Russellville for it.

Rules have changed no players can use any school facilities coach or not.  See Dead period thread on Monday Morning QB Forum and you will hear plenty of complaints about that.  Dead Period ends Sunday and Im sure most coaches give players the 4th off so Tuesday the 5th cranks up football preperation.
I still don't see why there is a complaint why a player wants to better himself/herself (for all sports) during the dead period.  Of course, there is always a local gym or at home.

I tend to think that if a player was allowed by the rules during the Dead period to use school facilities that it might be "expected" by some programs/coaches to use it during that time frame, hence the Dead period might not really be that. I think the idea of the period is a good idea and for most players and families. IMO it would seem to work better in the hotter month of July.

When they started the "Dead Period" the kids were allowed to use the facilities and expected to is just what it become. Rumor "and rumor only" was that it went further than just expected by some programs.

Lets look on the bright side...we will use way less fuel to haul 30 boys around on road trips.  From an economic standpoint this might not be such a  bad thing during this sluggish economy.

I saw the team yesterday working out with weights on the football field.  I commend these young men for their effort.  Who knows they might surprise us all.  There will be zero depth which is ok for 1A but not to promising for 5A West.  I'm a little concerned about the direction of this program but it might work out.  You can only play 11 at a time right.  Who knows....they might inspire the next group coming through.  I'm trying to be positive ok...

Chris, you know it is always a pleasure playing you guys in all sports for as long as I can remember.  Everyone is always talking about GW's farewell tour in football, but has left out SS.  They just don't understand the rivalry that the Goblins and the Panthers have had over the years in ALL sports, Good luck in your farewell tour this next school year, starting with football and ending with futball.  Who knows, we may meet again in non-conference games.

I do hope that we can exceed the expectations of many this football season who forecast a down year for the SS Panthers...I for one am encourage by what I see

Every high school football program has had former players arrested for something! I am a former Eagle, I've been arrested, (20 years ago) I can think of 10 guys I played with in those 3 years that got arrested within 5 years after graduating. Didn't have anything to do with being a former HS ball player.

Now the true test is how will this young man learn from his mistakes.

Good luck to him.

60 players, I dont think so. 50 players would be a bit of a stretch. I do know that the last team camp there were 40 players dressed. I know that a few players were not there. I would put the # at say 45. Lot better than 34, but still not great.

Would love to see a break out year from him. Weedy the big FB and LB is much man.

Looks like Wyatt will be the qb, little but very tough kid.  If the line can protect him he should be okay.  Wiedy will have to be the leader to step up and he will.  Heard they handed out a position for a coach for football.  Was it ever advertised?  Never saw it listed on the Vilonia Web site.

    I dont believe Wyatt has been taken snaps as of late. He was taking about all the snaps in the spring but not at the team camps. The Steward kid has been taking the snaps at team camp. Im sure the Qb spot is still up for grabs. Both of those boys have their strengths and weaknesses. Nether of them can run as well as last years Qb.

Are you saying turftime will be a starter at these positions

What grade is turftime going to be in..........was he apart of the Jr. high program last year

Turf played at Village Academy in south Ark his 8th and 9th grade years then his mother and I divorced and she took him to Vilonia this year.   Crossett and Hamburg's coaches really wanted him down here.  Mama kinda babys him more than I do so he went with her to Conway.  Coach Carter at Conway Christian really wanted him but Turf likes the old school run game so much he sought out the double wing school up there.  I knew Coach Buckner back in the 70s when he coached at Louisiana Monroe.  I trust him with my boy.  The only problem Ive had with Turf is his grades and his obsession with girls.  Hope he stays out of trouble up there.  Anyway, thought I would give yall some info.  Saw yall asking about him in previous posts.  Good day all!

This is true.  Playing guard in a DW offense is an extreme honor. It is basically where the ball is going every play.  This is a huge compliment.

Many DW coaches will play their young "big backs" at guard until they are upperclassmen and put them in as the wing backs, etc.  They like to build that bulldozing style that way.

Wishing him the best, Jimmy.

I know of 3 young men who would love to join Coach Stanley's staff if ever possible. In fact, I also know that these 3 are going to apply together. Jobs are going to be available 1 year from now, maybe 3 football positions in total. And i'll just give you this bit, some promises have already been made...there are a certain cast of Stanley's former players who will go into coaching together somewhere, but only as a team. After all, these 3 did play 3 sports together every year until high school, when they chose to stick to football. Naturally, in high school football, we excelled together. They formed arguably the most powerful running attack Vilonia football has ever seen. 2 halfbacks, 1 quarterback. Oh yeah, they also started on defense, at MLB, FS, and SS. Their 24 wins during their 3 years was also the first 3 years Jim Stanley coached at Vilonia High. Vilonia football hasn't continued the progression that those years saw, and I can honestly guarantee you, we aren't going to keep watching Stanley struggle and get ripped on like he does. But be patient, Eagle fans, because, although we know a great deal about football, we aren't as eager to learn in college.....

The changes next year are to include getting into a conference with PA and Little Rock Christian.  That sucks for the Eagles, PA is always a force and LRCA who has been growing like crazy will field a team next year of close to 85 after being pretty solid fielding teams with 35-40.  And if the baseball/basketball conferences are the same, Vilonia is gonna be left out again with those two and also Beebe, Sylvan Hills and Jacksonville in the mix.

Well, if this is true (even eventually) that would certainly be a mixed bag of developments.  I am not a fan of a coach of any sport being the AD but most especially the football coach.  In far too many cases, there are already far too many irons on the fire for a football coach to be an effective AD for all sports.  Vilonia needs some serious development efforts with respect to ALL of its school sports programs - so much so that it needs an AD with vision in that role serving in a full time capacity.  This change (should it occur) would not be a positive one in that regard.

I just don't get it with Coach Jordan. You look at his history of where he has been and one has to wonder what he is doing now? I don't know all the facts but I know he won at least 2 or 3 state championships at Dollarway if this is the same David Jordan that I heard about back in the 90's. He also coached McGehee. I believe not as good of a time down there. So now he has been an asst for Stanley like 4 to 5 years or longer. He has from what I have read and been told by many including my son that played the last 3 years a brilliant O mind. So some questions are why is he at V helping with the double wing?? One year he helped with the pass a lot when Puckett was a SR.
I just don't understand a guy that has won the big one that many times and a great O person at V. Guess he likes the area and maybe get a break from the spotlight.

he did a great job for mcgehee with what he had to work with. he would still be here i think if the principal hadn't wanted the coaching job back and drove him crazy. he does have a great offensive mind. you will have to ask him why he is still there. the david jordan i know will tell you if you ask him. that is why i like him he will tell you exactly what he thinks.

Whoa, Vilonia actually will PASS THE BALL this season?! Sorry Turf, I find it humorous because the longest pass play at the time the Eagles meet Alma last season was less than 8 yards and of the passes attempted it was less than 10. Vilonia relies on the run to get ahead of their opponent and hopefully can keep adding to the score before the other team's offense gets going.

Hopefully if the Eagles are going to attempt for a true balanced playbook it'll help, but who knows? Good luck implementing it and hopefully the players understanding and comprehension is quick as well.

and took it 99 yards for a score!

We can work all fall on the pass but the first interception we throw James Sax's tounge will drag the groud shortly there after.  And with the numbers where they are I would be highly shocked to see more than 3 passes a game.  I do however think the pistol would be Vtowns best option if it even considers throwing the ball down field.  Sax is a much better runner when he has three or four steps before he has to make a decision.  Powerful runner with limited field vision.  He needs space.  JMO

No secret that those that played last year will be missed BIGTIME but the game must go on. I hope the rest of them rally together like I know they will. "X" factor will be the play calling this season (as it is every season-LOL). I say that because we still got some good talent but how we use it will determine if we have a chance to win each game. Utilizing a good game plan and execution there of. My thinking is every week is a different match up with different opportunities and headaches. Predictability will be the END of us. QB will be huge since HH won't be doing it. I better stop. Go Eagles!

The seniors to be would have helped them no doubt, but Stanley used them for 2 years and threw them away.  As I have said before, until Vtown gets a AD and a school board that will be there for the kids instead of Stanley then things will not change.  Heard said that the year Puckett was a senior he kicked several off the team and they had a good year!  This year there is no Puckett.  I sincerely hope the boys that have worked so hard have a good year, but I do not see with what he has left on the team them making it to the playoffs.  With the seniors to be and their experience I think they would have.  Jordan needs to call plays and if Stanley would allow it this year it would help, but this Stanley's 4 plays, don't expect much.

Shoot I heard turftime playing both sides of the ball is running your ball carriers down on the other side of the field... Not sure how he got that far out of position but I heard he can cover any gap and closes quickly....  It was alarming that one of V's cheerleaders sitting up in the stands hollered at him while he was chasing a ball carrier down and he stopped and waved at her....   He is going to have to keep his head on football if Vilonia has any chance on defense....

My observations:

1.  Sax looks tall and slimmer than last year.  Blazing speed which I thought he had lost a little last year.  I look for him to have a very impressive year.

2.  Wiedy...well he's just tough.  I love this kind of player.

3.  Houston Cotton...This kid has a chance to be really good

4.  O-line...smaller but maybe a touch quicker.

5.  D-fense....Hard to tell cause I figure some of the O players will play both ways. 

6.  I'm guessing about 40 -45 players.  Better than I thought.

7.  Very young. 

8.  Coach Stanley and all of the other coaches were very positive and encouraging when good things happened.  My opinion on this is that tech and talent will take you a long way but if you can get a kid to lay it on the line for you then you have a chance to compete. 

A few special players can carry a team on their backs and this team has a couple of those players.  I'm anxious to see this teams competitive spirit.  Are they willing to compete against the better teams for a full 4 qtrs?  We shall soon see.

On this point, I indeed hope this is correct and not so much for football as much for Sax's long term athletic prospects in college.  Sax's best sport is track and a lighter Sax should mean an outstanding track season.

7, you are indeed correct about Sax. Track is really going to be his meal ticket to college. I don't have any idea who has offered him but I would think he could go most anywhere in state. The football team may win some closer games if he shows his great potential on the field but I really believe like you that he could be a GREAT track guy in college.

They looked a little sluggish.  Tired legs maybe.  Maybe it was the first day of school that wore them out or maybe it's the two-a-days catching up.

Just read one of Stanley's comments stating Eagles looking for "better" finish in 2011 than 2010!  Is this a joke or does he really believe that?  Going to be the run game again this year, which that was a given.  Sax will have to step up this year to get to the 7-3 finish they had last year.  Six weeks from now we should know how the season is going and I can't wait.  Looks like we will have several road trips to take.

About frakkin time.  You guys can be more of a force to be reckoned with, getting your passing game up to your running game. :)

Would like to see some short passes, keep the opposition guessing.  Makes for a much more exciting game.  Don't see that happening though.

Far too many HS football coaches believe as Woody Hayes did about the forward pass - there are three outcomes to any forward pass and two of them are bad so don't throw the ball...

Title: Re: Vilonia Eagles
Post by: nomorewhining on August 17, 2011, 08:46:10 pm
A short passing game is typically only successful if there is a threat of a downfield passing game....teams that use power running formations such as double wing, dead T, wishbone, or flexbone are usually facing defenses with 9, 10, or 11 players within 6 yards of the ball. That is why most passes are down the field, or "over the top". Short passing games are usually only effective for spread, or west coast offenses, where there is a threat of an attack on all parts of the field, both vertically and horizontally.
Title: Re: Vilonia Eagles
Post by: windbox on August 17, 2011, 08:58:03 pm
Just saying we need a new game plan.  Not saying necessarily the spread, although it makes for a much more exciting game, but a plan where the other schools don't know what we are going to run.  Last year the better schools knew exactly what the play was going to be.

that Will talk football when you are ready, if there is anything like football to talk about around here.

Let's not talk about the west coast O, because Vilonia sure does not need to run anything like that this year since the personell is not there. This  maybe the best year for that coach to run his double wing, because of the personell that he does have. If Sax has a good year I look for V to go 500 at best. if Sax has a bad year I look for V to go 3 - 7 at best

like I said I'm the jack a** not the jack rabbit

Stanley said twice that he doesn't do it for the money implying to me they do it for the kids (+1) and they don't make a lot. I respect all the teachers, coaches and school folks but if you find what they make in V it's not a bad deal at all. By that I say they deserve every penny they make but if you compare district averages it's not bad plus our state is a very poor earning state when it comes to median income for all jobs. Stanley had a very GOOD salary plus whatever other perks head coaches make if I remember right. That's not crumbs we are talking about for just being a coach. Most educators I know in V say they have it good and are very happy here.

IYG strictly talking about sports here.  We do have some sports that do well, girls basketball, soccer, and track do very well just to name a few.  But in other programs there needs to be improvement, new visions, new attitude, new minds who think of new plays instead of just doing the same thing year after year and hope it works. To the poster who ask if I got a answer to my question about Coach Jordan, no I didn't, thought maybe the only poster I know on here might answer it.  Who knows, maybe he is taking the fall for some things out there that he had nothing to do with.  Guess we will never know.

Sax could easily rush  for 200 yards a game with 2-3 td's. He has the body for it. Size and speed. Just got to find the "X" factor with him. I think he will have a good year but a great year would give V an extra win or two in close games. Super kid though, yes sir no sir!

Young.  But they played good.  27-23 Vtown over Marion.  Sax ran well.  Trey Wyatt played well on d-fense.  Kyle Wyatt did a nice job running the offense off the bench.  Several other players to mention but this is first glance.  Just young and very little depth.

Pervis, hope you are hanging in there. It was steamy tonight. Those guys in the press box do a great job all the time but it felt extra hot and muggy big time in there and I only spent a half in there.  Team played well enough to win against the 6A boys. A lot of soph's played a lot of snaps. M had a punishing run game but came up with several to's. I thought the Steward kid looked good out there at qb and Estes had some nice runs. Sax really looks like he should have a banner year barring any injuries. Overall the O executed more than not and the D made plays when it counted.  Work a little more on tackling. M backs were getting a lot of extra yards through hard effort. The secondary got beat a couple times on the few times M passed which was not many at all. Weidi will help the D a lot when he gets healthy.

As always, Vilonia played a very physical, hard-nosed football game.  They appeared to be very young with no apparent depth and little size.  This team will need to win early in order to build confidence for the tough, tough West.  Victories at Beebe and at Wynne may prove very difficult.  If Stanley gets this group to the playoffs, it may be one of his best coaching efforts to date.

Go Eagles and lets go get some SH Bears!

Well,  they got a W.  Team looks like they will play hard VTown football.  Like everyone has said - they are young and very little depth.    Sax looks great when he hits the hole full speed - he just needs to do it everytime.  The qb in the first half looked ok - does anyone know why he didnt play in the second half.  The Wyatt qb looked fast but seems very small.  Some of the lineman looked good on both sides of the ball.  Seems like several sophs are going to play - Cotten and Estes looked good running the ball  and it seemed like Max was in on a lot of stops for the D.  Did any other sophs see any action?  Those were the only ones I caught.  It will be a interesting year - need no more injuries and Weidi back asap.
Go Eagles!

   So true "a win is a win is a win"  lot is to be done.First of all the sophs, 5 or 6 got significant playing time. They did their job and did not hurt the team. #24 I thought played well on both sides of the ball. Sax well he show a lot of speed at times but got a bit winded. All in all he did well. The qb cramped up when he was on D. #14 filled in nicely. We did compleat two passes one to our team one to the other team 4 total pass in the game. We did not want to show to much.... WINK WINK ;D
Title: Re: Vilonia Eagles
Post by: Lifer on August 24, 2011, 05:59:28 am
 Our defense had some moments. #54 made some plays, our dbs hopefully learned a lot about game speed. Lbs looked a bit slow, again game speed. Lots of room for improvement for the D as a whole. The team looked like they got winded early and often. Now the good news I do see some potential. I will say 7 wins is not out of reach.... Boys work hard watch the film and see what to do and do it at GAME SPEED!!! Go EAGLES Go!!!!
Title: Re: Vilonia Eagles
Post by: DeepCoverage on August 24, 2011, 08:26:05 am
#25 Atkinson, hit the holes hard when he got the ball. I think he looked better than any of the backs running up the middle. The D looked slow that is why #24 and #2 had to make so many tackles after marion got past our line and Linebackers. The QB situation will be a tough one, they both looked ok at times, but throwing the ball is out of the question imo, like I said in a earlier thread, this may be the best year to run the DW. The stud running back we have, I'm sorry guys showed me nothing, yes he made it outside a couple of times but he has got to hit the hole hard and quick when asked to go in the middle of the line he is strong enough to get that 5-7 yard gain over the linebackers, we need to make him eat a little gun powder before a game. The talent is there for the next level, but how do you get it out of him.

Marion was very lazy, on the O line, but that #33 was a beast at hitting the hole and taking people out, and #5, heck you can't catch him

Title: Re: Vilonia Eagles
Post by: RTR on August 24, 2011, 12:26:26 pm
One thing for sure....these kids aint scared to play.  With exception to big #78 (who played well) Vilonia gave up about 50 lbs per player to Marion.  They had some big kids.  Our corners did a nice job turning plays back up the middle but our  LBs had a little trouble scrapping.  I'm sure that will get corrected and it will only help when Weidi gets back.  If this team keeps a competitive spirit and works hard they will make a lot of fans.  Win or lose...I look forward to seeing these young men grow.

Sax had the best first quarter of his Carree.  If he can push and have four quarters like that the future will look brighter for the Eagles.  Hope Weidy get better soon, may be letting him set out until conference.  Need to get about 30-40 pounds on Wyatt boys, they play tough.  Overall, not bad for no experience and small size.

Post by: Reechards on August 30, 2011, 01:56:43 pm
Tune in to Y107.1 if you want to catch the game tonight.

In regards to Coach Stanley's offense, I understand the criticisms and have for a while. I played on the abysmal '01 team as a sophomore that went 1-9, only beating Greenbrier in the season finale. We were predicted to be even worse the following year based on talent. Stanley came in from Gosnell the following season and completely overhauled the losing mentality that had plagued the program for so long. Part of that was installing the double wing. The offense is archaic, but practicing in that style of offense day in and day out will do a lot for your toughness. As a 150lb CB at the time, I can attest to this. It wasn't just an offense for us, it was a new attitude and way of doing things. Fast forward to '03 and we played Batesville in the state championship. IMO, the predictability of the offense was a key contributing factor in losing that game, though I doubt we would have made it that far without the rear offense. We definitely had the star players, but confidence and toughness of the senior role players is what got us that far (see the team's results the next year).

Since then, I've heard the grumblings from fans/armchair QB's about the offense every year (even during the Puckett era). The double wing is a great offense for a program in need of a turnaround. After that, you would expect the offense to evolve while maintaining the new attitude. This year, the offense seems to be a perfect fit to me. You barely have over 40 players on this year's roster, perhaps not as much talent/speed/size, playing in a tough conference with ever evolving offensive systems, the town is still rebuilding following the tornado, tragedies and tribulations in multiple coaches' families, and lesser expectations. This is the type of situation that Coach Stanley and his offense thrives in, and I wouldn't be shocked if the team had a surprising year.

I do hope the offensive game plan evolves, but you can't base it off the personnel every year. To me, it seems like the perennial contenders (Greenwood, Alma, etc.) breed their players in their system from the ground up. If not in peewee, at least middle school. That needs to happen in Vilonia.

Yes, agreed DC. That was an awesome post from a previous V alum and player. Very well said.  And yes again to Coach Stout. What a great man, mentor, and coach. Regardless of yearly record, that man has molded many including my oldest who is doing quite well so far. He still talks about Coach Stout even though he just graduated. I'm predicting a hard fought #4 playoff seed. Seems like that has been our calling every year lately but still it is the playoffs and playing in the toughest conference.

I think that is exactly what our QB from last year said after some of your players sidelined him for the rest of the game with that 'below the belt' move just before halftime.  That is a good attitude to have- it helped them win their next 6 games- so maybe it will help ya'll too!!!

Not suited for this Offense................he needs to have room

Let's assume for the moment that this is correct (not saying it isn't, but follow the thought for a moment...)

As good an athlete as Sax was throughout junior high, knowing he was coming to the varsity wouldn't you have changed your offense to make the best use of his skills? 

In a larger sense, wouldn't a coach want to adopt his offense to make the best use of his player's skills?  What is very troubling is the amount of potential Sax brought to the table three years ago appears to have mostly been underutilized (if not downright wasted) throughout his high school career.  If that is an accurate observation, that is sad.

Very good pts Seven. V will not see an athlete like Sax come around for many many years. Sax was 6ft and 200 with 4.5 speed almost from the time he was in 9th grade if not 10th for sure. Add the brute strength he has always had ( 335 pd bench last I heard ) and you got a monster waiting to take it to the next level. His soph season showed a lot of promise of a great football career. UofA came a visiting many times to the field house to talk and check on him. We are talking Horton and Petrino in live flesh at V. I am so glad James has track to fall back on cause he will go D1 somewhere with his track skills. Great kid all the way around and very respectful. Hopefully he stays injury free and has a productive SR year with football.  He will have a great future in whatever he does.
Title: Re: Vilonia Eagles
Post by: windbox on September 19, 2011, 09:28:15 am
Sax did very well in 9th grade because he was fast and could beat the defense to the corners and cut up and no one could catch him.  In 10th grade he found that the defense was fast also, so a lot of his yardage was on punt returns with teammates blocking for him.  As I understand it his junior year he was moved to fullback to encourage him to run straight up the field, which this did not work.  From what I am seeing this year, at wingback, as soon as he is touched he goes down.  He has the size, the strength, but is he tough?  Reading back on older post a lot thought our offense would be OK this year.  SH the offense was good, but the last couple of games we need someone in there that can hang onto the ball.  From what I have seen, Estes and Cotton have held onto it a lot better.  Sax is a great kid and has a future in track, just not football.  Whether that is the DW not being suited for him and another offense would have been better we will never know.
Title: Re: Vilonia Eagles
Post by: RTR on September 19, 2011, 10:12:41 am
Sax, IMO, has ran harder than I ever seen him run over the past two games.  I even seen him get vocal several times which shows some leadership skills that I haven't seen before.  He wants to win.  I think he's finding holes better and running harder than ever.  It's my opinion but I think he has a ton of upside for the next level.  Raw but gifted.

I really like what vilonia did with the change to the O last night. But the execution was just not there. We have tried to throw the ball.. we just ant got the time to do it. I mean dang!!!! I know I'm a homer..Lets just run #22 and #25 along with weidy to get the tough yards then let sax get to the out side. They have to key on Him and that opens it up for the others. Make the D key on some body else then spring Sax to the out side. We must take advantage of them keying on Sax!!!!

They might get one more win if lucky.  It is a shame for all the seniors, they have worked hard and made it to playoffs last 2 years, then have a losing season their senior year.  Kyle Wyatt does a very good job for his size, he is a tough dude. At best 2-5, no playoffs

We don't have time to pass because our pass routes are 40 yds or more.  It drives me crazy to know that you have a running back that has track speed and you don't have any screen passes.  When a QB don't have time to throw the ball its because the defense pins their ears back......let the dfense thru and dump a middle screen pass to Sax or Atkinson and watch them run.   Vilonia is so stuck in the theory of this offense that it completly ignores to take what the defense allows.

Tune in to Y107.1 if you want to catch the game tonight.

In regards to Coach Stanley's offense, I understand the criticisms and have for a while. I played on the abysmal '01 team as a sophomore that went 1-9, only beating Greenbrier in the season finale. We were predicted to be even worse the following year based on talent. Stanley came in from Gosnell the following season and completely overhauled the losing mentality that had plagued the program for so long. Part of that was installing the double wing. The offense is archaic, but practicing in that style of offense day in and day out will do a lot for your toughness. As a 150lb CB at the time, I can attest to this. It wasn't just an offense for us, it was a new attitude and way of doing things. Fast forward to '03 and we played Batesville in the state championship. IMO, the predictability of the offense was a key contributing factor in losing that game, though I doubt we would have made it that far without the rear offense. We definitely had the star players, but confidence and toughness of the senior role players is what got us that far (see the team's results the next year).

Since then, I've heard the grumblings from fans/armchair QB's about the offense every year (even during the Puckett era). The double wing is a great offense for a program in need of a turnaround. After that, you would expect the offense to evolve while maintaining the new attitude. This year, the offense seems to be a perfect fit to me. You barely have over 40 players on this year's roster, perhaps not as much talent/speed/size, playing in a tough conference with ever evolving offensive systems, the town is still rebuilding following the tornado, tragedies and tribulations in multiple coaches' families, and lesser expectations. This is the type of situation that Coach Stanley and his offense thrives in, and I wouldn't be shocked if the team had a surprising year.

I do hope the offensive game plan evolves, but you can't base it off the personnel every year. To me, it seems like the perennial contenders (Greenwood, Alma, etc.) breed their players in their system from the ground up. If not in peewee, at least middle school. That needs to happen in Vilonia.

Taking nothing away from Sax the offense need to be adjusted for his running style. This also holds true for the quarterbacks. The bruising style of running backs Vilonia has had in the past are gone. The ability to work with good backs is not. A little adjustment here and there could make a world of difference. Good luck this week Eagles!!!

Motown is going to be tough but we are capable to win this game in their backyard.

I doubt crisswell will be playing but they have a very good player replacing him.

Unfortunately Criswell probably won't be playing against Vilonia but we have plenty of other "go to" boys to include the one who stepped in and played his spot last night.

And glad we were able to help you out PB and ensure Burcham got to play an entire game!

Thanks pup mom! I loved watching Burcham the whole game for a change. I also enjoyed watching those pups play. David Ford is a great little team leader. I hope you guys get on a roll and make post season play.

INYG......Never said I would get along with the coaching philosophy..........I don't enjoy watching grass grow, I cut it before it get's out of control

DC, I know I've mentioned about the 7th grade team before but man Bowman runs a strong program with great run/pass balance. You got to check it out if you haven't.

Morrilton and Harrison are must wins for the Eagles and hope to pull off an upset somewhere down the road................Greenwood or Greenbrier

Sounds like Morrilton may be without Criswell this week, but they are really playing good football. I think if they get by the Eagles they could slide into a 4th spot by winning out

I tend to agree with that PC.  In this day and age, you simply are not going to excite kids about your program with a grind it out approach UNLESS you are winning consistently.  Right now, V simply does not have the size and / or depth to outmuscle the competition. 

But before anyone reads this as a statement against the coach, let me reiterate a review of the entire program needs to occur.  This also includes administration, facilities, everything.

Yes, the young men are working hard and playing with what they got. They are quick young and dedicated group. After watching my son go through the program from 7th-SR, I can you they do the lifting, conditioning, and practicing time to be good. They wouldn't do it if they didn't love playing football cause it is so much like a job on top of going to school like the average kid. +1 to all the young men from any team that read this and the supportive parents for persevering through it as well.

Have talked to several that say Stanley will be AD.  We don't seem to have one now that will speak up for what is right, but it will be a BIG mistake if Stanley becomes AD.  This year especially, there does not seem to be any discipline on the team.  Very very disappointed in the staff, very proud of the boys.

IYG.....your son was the exception to the rule.  He did the lifting because he had the heart for it.  This strength and conditioning program at Vilonia is elementary compared to other schools.  It's one thing to have a mandatory program...but it's an entirely different thing to have the kids excited and bought in to it.  Most are just showing up and going thru the motions and it is obvious when you look at the size difference on Friday night.  There aint nothing mandatory about the will, heart and the desire to get bigger, faster and stronger.  It has to be motivated and cultivated be a leader.

motivation and leadership has to be taught by older men that are dealing with 16&17year old young men

not motivating young men to do anything even if it is taking out the trash is a sin in my book

how can you not be excited having a young man looking into your eyes and believing in you and following you where ever it is you want him to go

i have only personally spoke to our hc maybe twice and it was never about my son it was only in passing in the parking lot or in the field house

seems to be a nice fellow

maybe he needs a little motivation

but he does get paid to be motivated and get our kids motivated

I would like to ask a question about Vilonia's off. For years they have run the same thing with so so success against sub cal teams but not the upper teams, I know that they have tried the spread some but when that doesn't work they go back to that funky hand it off three times off that just doesn't get it done. Is the Vilonia coach like Houston Nutt and just doesn't understand the spread? To make it work you have to completely commit to it and not go back and forth. Get the younger player 3rd 4th 5th 6th graders to learn to run it and by the time they are in High school it is second nature. It does work, look at Wynne they have bought in to it and I promise you they will be making a statement in a year or so. I just don't understand why Vilonia stays with it or keeps going back to it?  Just my openion, not trying to be critical just wondering.

speak for yourself DC. There was also more than 40 at the JV game tonight.  Your agenda is getting old.  I know one kid that  played tonight on the JV and sees a lot of action on friday nights too.  He is proud to be Eagle and loves playing the game.

Easy snatch foot. Yes, there is some unrest in the small town between two ridges known as Vtown. We want to to be like the big boys of GW and Alma but we don't have the direction to get us there right now. At some point in the future I hope we do. There are a lot of good people with good kids in this town that can propel us to better times but it isn't happening right now until some changes are made. Just how it is.

First of all it's loser not looser.  Had to get that out of the way before I answer your question.  The double wing is not the problem.....the problem is having the hoarses to run it year in and year out.  It can be a very hard to defend if you have the right players.   Monticello proved that a couple of years ago.  The problem is having the right peices in place every year.  Vtown is running some pistol in the lower grades right now and they are getting the hang of it.  They are still running the dw as well but they are progressing toward a spread type offense.  Heck.....the 7th grade team went empty backfield tonight several times.  I would like to see Vilonia get to 50/50 with the DW and Pistol.  Opposing teams would have to prepare for two totally different offenses and I think that might be an advantage for Vtown.

Big Foot, It seems our program or offense is stuck in the dark ages, a lot of people not all the people that keep up with V football think we do not have the players to run a different formation as the in the pistol or the spread, those people are wrong, we could be doing both and really throw a kink in to others defense. My question is how do they know what these kids can do all they have been running is the dw for years? The Vilonia people on this thread think I have some kind of agenda to get rid of the coach and that is not true. We had quite a few Jrs and Srs that decided to quite or was booted that could have helped us this year and for sure and could have ran a different formation as in the pistol and done well with it, but that is water under the bridge. My point is we have a great offensive mind in Coach Jordan but very seldom use him in play calling or at least his plays.....I did watch a JV game last year against Greenbrier where we threw the ball about 20 times and beat them at their own game, and that is putting points on the board, and he called those plays. I'm happy to hear the younger grades are trying different things, this I guess is my agenda,THE YOUNGER KIDS COMING UP. I do not want to watch the grass grow anymore and hope we break the big one every now and then if we are behind. The DW is not only our offense it is also our defense as well, clock management, well that is great if you have a lead but do not ask us to come from behind using up the clock. I know this did not answer your question just my thoughts, I am proud of these young EAGLES for busting their butts everyday.

MY agenda..........Get a new game plan......you never know if its going to work until you try it.

The DW is not only our offense it is also our defense as well, clock management, well that is great if you have a lead but do not ask us to come from behind using up the clock. I know this did not answer your question just my thoughts, I am proud of these young EAGLES for busting their butts everyday.

MY agenda..........Get a new game plan......you never know if its going to work until you try it.








What ever it takes to get the young men excited about playing. Thanks for getting back to me. I hope the best for Vilonia program.

Can you not read??? He made the statement that the kids are not proud of the program.  some still are and give it all they have.   so i ask you to take another reading course.


I ask a simple question about V's off and all I get back is some smartArss answer from a bunch of V town posters, Heck if the team is any thing like their posters it is no wonder they are loosers!!!!

First of all it's loser not looser.  Had to get that out of the way before I answer your question.  The double wing is not the problem.....the problem is having the hoarses to run it year in and year out.  It can be a very hard to defend if you have the right players.   Monticello proved that a couple of years ago.  The problem is having the right peices in place every year.  Vtown is running some pistol in the lower grades right now and they are getting the hang of it.  They are still running the dw as well but they are progressing toward a spread type offense.  Heck.....the 7th grade team went empty backfield tonight several times.  I would like to see Vilonia get to 50/50 with the DW and Pistol.  Opposing teams would have to prepare for two totally different offenses and I think that might be an advantage for Vtown.
is that hoarses or horses? just asking ;D

No...it's hawses.  Thats the best I can do with it.

Being a former player under coach Stanley. I must say that the program has changed significantly since I graduated last year. Practices are much shorter, kids being allowed to leave before games, and many kids just not caring. I've read post on here for three years and since I've graduated I have something to say. COACH STANLEY WILL NOT CHANGE. Ive heard a lot of rumors going around the town the last couple of weeks, and I'm sure most V posters know what I'm talking about. There needs to be a total change in the high school football team. Being a player under both coach stout and Stanley I must say coach stout was the best coach I've ever been around. He cared abt each one of his players and he helped us become great students before athletes. He was the best, he motivated player to work hard and give their best every play, he checked students grades and cared abt how they were doing outside of football. He was always there for player, no matter what. And what he taught us, showed up on Thursday nights and help us achieve the best record in junior high history. With that being said coach stout was the one who wrote the pistol play book for the 7th grade, junior high and HIGH SCHOOL. The thing was since Stanley didnt like it he didn't use it. And know for a fact that during spring workouts the high school was working on the pistol everyday. Getting rid of Coach stout, a man who has 9 state championship rings not only in football but in track as well, would be a horrible mistake. And putting Stanley as athletic director would just make the whole situation worse.

Eagleforlife51,

Thanks for your insight. I for one have not heard of Coach Stout leaving, and I for one also hope that is not true. This is a good man you are speaking of, I remember after a tough loss in Greenbrier my youngest son's 9th grade year for their Championship game, my son said,and I quote"Coach Stout did not only teach us football, he also taught us how to be men."

That is a big statement coming from young men that spend more time with their coaches than they do their parents during football season. I applaud you Eagleforlife51

There are a lot of other player's that feel the same way you do. use spell check next time

Title: Re: Vilonia Eagles
Post by: Eagleforlife51 on October 19, 2011, 09:20:58 am
IMO, there hasn't been leadership in the coaching staff  in a while. When coaches are preparing the kids For a game that week and even the coaching staff doesnt believe they have a chance to win, thats a problem. Im a firm believer that any team can be beat at any time. I'm not saying Stanley is a bad coach, but it seems like he has a lot more on his mind other the team and players, and that's understandable considering what has happened in his life the last couple of years. But still that is no excuse because he is paid to motivate the players and get them excited about football.
Title: Re: Vilonia Eagles
Post by: windbox on October 19, 2011, 09:53:58 am
I agree completely.  His mind has got to get back on his job instead of personal problems.  From what I understand Mrs. Stanley is clear now.  Some decisions he has made in the past year makes it appear he does not want the best team.  Someone said all schools are going to go to a player playing one sport, and I think he underestimated the group of juniors from last year.  But what surprises me the most about this situation is the AD.  Would never in a million years thought he would have supported this.

DC  I think we got a solution to make everybody happy  Coach is in his 10th year of a 15 year contract.  If you and someone with some cash can come up with a 5 year buyout worth approx.
5 million dollars we will walk and I'll even take Turf to that high dollar private school in Shreveport.
Would you be willing to come up with some cash for a buyout?  If not continue your agenda that you claimed you didnt have.  Also Ive heard that the head coach at West Virginia is coming to put in the Lonsome Polecat!  If thats true we will stay and you can keep your buyout money.  Its all good brother.

Post by: EagleIview on October 20, 2011, 11:26:39 am
I am here to protect the program,coaches & administration from the continues slander by individuals who have no info on what is really happening @ this time with in the football program.

I will start with Coach Stanley...this is the best football coach n Vilonia history and top ten winningest coaches n state history. He put this program on the map from a band school to a football perennial contender in the conference everyyear. He has done this with mediocre talent at best. He has brought respect to this program which was once the  laughing stock of the league. He brought in great coaches with head coaching backgrounds, and some young coaches with college football experience. The program is on the cusp of some great seasons with this staff and some talented players coming up ,who will be coached to be great not just thrown out on the field. 
Which comes to my next point....
I beleive some of you have been misinformed about what took place this year within the program. A meeting was called to discuss this issue and alot of things were put out on the table as to the biggest problem with the program moving foward. There has been an issue with certain coaches ,none of which are on the highschool staff, thinking they can do what they please with no regards to administration or the head coach. This has been evident the last three years and has been destroying the program by not keeping kids interseted after 7th grade. A change was made and and it sent shock waves through the community once they saw this group  accually being coached and the result on the feild. The prove was in the pudding. Now the program can move on once a PERMANANT change is made n the off season to elimanate those trying to make out to b more then they are.


Title: Re: Vilonia Eagles
Post by: Eagleforlife51 on October 20, 2011, 12:54:14 pm
I respect your post but I disagree strongly. There are anywhere from ten to twenty players a year that quit football once they start high school and most quit because of Stanley. As for the 7th grade, my brother plays on that team. For the first five games both teams were running nothing but the pistol, the white team put up 94 points total in those games, because they WEREN'T running the double wing. Now that this so called change has occurred, the 7th grade runs the pistol the first half,  and have to run nothing but doublewing in the second half. Two weeks ago they were fortunate enough to have scored enough points in the first half against Conway to get the win. They didn't score a point in the second half running the doublewing. The junior high coaches asked Stanley permission before they implemented the pistol. Coach Stanley himself told me the high school was going to run the pistol this year. But like I said sense it was out of his comfort zone he didn't stay with it. "best coach in school history" thats possible due to the 2003 team, but "a contender in conference every year" I don't think so. We fight for the fourth seed every single year with a first round loss in the playoffs other than the 2003 and 2007 teams. Vilonia has never finished higher than a fourth seed since the move to the west. A coach has to be willing to make a change. Last year again greenwood, they knew every play we were gonna run just by the way we lined up. "mediocre players" bull crap. You make due with what you have. Looks a greenwood year in and year out. They are always a state title confender. "Destroying the program for the last three years" you are misinformed again. Three years ago, the seniors this year, were playing for a conference title. Last year, the 7th grade teams had the best record in 7th grade history. And with a win on Monday, the 7th grade teams this year wil tie the 7th grade record. As for Stanley contract it clearly states that he is supposed to be a most of the 7th grade and junior high practice during the summer. If he would have been doing his friggin job, he would have known what the junior high, 7th grade,  and peewee teams were running and we would have had this big mess of changing the junior high and 7th grade offenses in the middle of the season. Yes the junior high is on a winning streak right now, but it's not because of Stanley. He's not out there at their practices."permant change in off season" all I can say about that is I hope that doesn't mean the junior high coaching staff will be gone. Stout was the one who brought in a great offensive and defense line coach, and all American and Harding, coach Morris. Stout was the one who brought in the 7th grade coaches who are doing an amazing job with those young men. Give credit where credit is due.

Who will be held accountable for the 9th graders that will not play their 10th grade year? Will this also be blamed on the Junior High program? Who is held accountable for the kids that did not move up this year.

That was a bad statement about mediocre players, your speaking of a lot of kids of parents that their tax dollars go to the school and donate a lot of time and money to your athletic program
