Hoxie vs Rison round 1

[KOJACK]

nah, Smackover and Booneville.  I have no other concerns.  Thanks though.

This ain't 2A son no more... All my days in Prescott we ain't ever lost to Rison js.

[Jimbo Morphis]

Either prowling the sidelines or in the bleachers if I get a seat.  Why? Did you want an autograph?

Just  asking for Scats.

you are quite the researcher and historian.  What has or hasn't ever happened has nothing to do with the present.

Thank you Oldman, but if his testosterone is that high he really should sit by himself.

Ya'll (myself included) are a bunch of goober heads. I'm laughing my butt off reading all this stuff.

Let's make love (not really), not war.

But I'm getting really excited as game time approaches.

Peace! Out!

Yet much of this thread has been a trip down Rison's memory lane.

better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all.

Hoxie this good or Rison just hasn't played anybody

Hoxie this good or Rison just hasn't played anybody

Maybe both

One of Rison's running backs Frye, was suspended for undisclosed reasons & not allowed to play until the start of the second half. He scored twice in the second half & stripped a Hoxie running back of the ball once on defense.

However I tip my hat to Hoxie. They were very determined, very fundamental, well coached, & very physical.

Good luck to Hoxie next year & to my wildcats for the remainder of this season.

Agreed. Homie came to play and played hard. Impressed by their discipline and coaching.  Good quarterback and line.  54 was probably one of the biggest guys I've ever seen play high school ball.  Good luck cats!

Frye's suspension was for nothing major, nothing criminal or illegal or anything like that - but it was something that Totty needed to get his attention about.  A stint in ISS and missing the first half hopefully got his attention. Just a dumb teenage boy error of judgement. Like we all had at one time or another.

And yes, hats off to a tough Hoxie team. Never backed down. Lined up and drove the field particularly on one long drive.  Short passing gave that gave the Cats some trouble. Hoxie blocked and tackled pretty well. The difference was our speed, you can't tackle well if you can't catch them.

[bootsie84]

So Rison can beat a team like Warren?

Yes. Easily.

[WonderWartHawg]

Yes. Easily.

Without Burkes, Rison might give Warren a good fight.
Sometimes, that one athlete can make all the difference.
Monta Thomas gave Rison fits the year he was at Hampton.  Man among boys.
Same thing in the playoffs against Atkins one year when they had Donnie Bobo.

Yep, 1974, when the Class 'A' semis were played at WMS. Rison lost to the Bobo-led Atkins team. If my memory is correct, Earle beat Atkins in the championship game the following week.

Footnote: Class 'A' had three of the state's best running backs that year --- Donnie Bobo (Atkins), Michael Forrest (Earle), and William Miller (Rison). Those three were probably as good as any three from the other classifications combined. Bobo and Forrest played for the Hogs; Miller was a star tailback at OBU.
