[Proud Buckaroo]

He's still angry fordyce lost the championship again. Give him time.

better than losing the first round of regionals. And yes that's what I'm saying. Smackover lost to many key players and all of their lineman. They have good backs but without anyone to block it will be tough. Only returning lineman they return is #44 who's about 5 foot and from the stands, looks like he is just too small and gets abused.

[WPWells]

With all due respect (very little) you should probably think before you post because this was very ill-conceived

What about Charleston and Booneville? And please don't give me that junk about how Charleston lost Storey because that's lame. Everyone knows that even without Storey Charleston will be top ten

[Proud Buckaroo]

You obviously have no idea what you're talking about. You should just read more, and post less. The kid gets abused? You must not know... He was the kid who sacked Ty Storey the most. Just like it was said on the Baseball thread. BUT, did you win it?

11. booneville
12. charleston

feel better?

[benchwarmer99]

Charleston will always be decent in my opinion because of their coaching staff, but I just don't see them as a top ten 10 pre season team. I think without Storey last year smackover would have ran charleston out of war memorial.

By the way.. Most of the key players will still be on this seasons team. They lost Elmo Hempstead, and Logan Clark. The linemen being gone isn't an issue at this point. We have several kids who can fill the shoes of those missing linemen. Like a NLR transfer; 6'4". 200+ pounds. Beau Burson will fill the shoes of Logan. So... Don't be so truly upset... And be a little less bias when making a preseason poll.

[WPWells]

So how have the teams at the top of your rankings gotten so much better?

Also, you do realize Charleston has won 29 games in a row and there were other players on the field besides Ty Storey, right?

[benchwarmer99]

Fill the shoes of Logan Clark? Are you kidding me? Logan Clark played just as we'll as Storey last year in the championship game. He did have more weapons, but still Logan Clark is going to be very hard to replace. Y'all had the best o line in the state last year and lost all of them. Elmo is better than Jordan and was all season. Smackover will be a good team next year but not even close to what they were last year.

[Proud Buckaroo]

Because all season long Jordan was getting double covered; sometimes even triple covered. Which opened up more opportunities for Elmo. Elmo is a very good player. Definitely our best defensive player last season.

[OLDSCHOOL82]

This is getting good.  Carry on.

[Proud Buckaroo]

You still have yet to explain how all of a sudden the rest of your top 1-7 teams have changed to put them in those spots. The more you avoid it, the more it becona evident this is just a poll based on you being truly upset.

I give you McGehee and Prescott. But... You can explain the rest.

[benchwarmer99]

He was your best offensive player last year too from what I hear. How he did not make all state is crazy. One of the best receivers in 3a in my opinion.

[benchwarmer99]

Harding returns a lot and has a very good qb and always very we'll coached. Fordyce returns a lot along  with gates who's one of the best in the state. Return everyone up front and everybody on defensive and offensive. Lost 2 stares of defense and 3 on offensive. Also they have a very good jr high 6'2 260 fullback coming up from jr high who has some good speed. That's just my opinion.. McGhee would be #1 in the state in my opinion if they would not have lost their star running back due to off the field issues but they will still be very good because their sr class is strong and they are gonna be very we'll up front.

[Proud Buckaroo]

Lol. I'm done here.

A 6'2", 260 lb fullback in jr high usually equals an O/D tackle in Sr High.  Sr High is a little different than jr high there buddy.

[Coach Jones]

1.  Smackover
2.  prescott
3.  Charleston
after that I'm not sure how to rank the rest so I won't

[benchwarmer99]

Don't get especially upset because your grandson gets thrown all over the field. It's ok, he's good for a little guy

[Proud Buckaroo]

My grandson? See, that's where you are wrong. The poster who is the grandfather of number 44 is "Buck Fever." Now we see what this about...

[Jimbo Morphis]

1.  Smackover
2.  prescott
3.  Charleston
after that I'm not sure how to rank the rest so I won't

that's where i would start.

[WPWells]

Now that's what I call reasonable. +1 Coach

[Jimbo Morphis]

Don't get especially upset because your grandson gets thrown all over the field. It's ok, he's good for a little guy

oh no you didn't.

[adaptedtigerfan]

Prescott is the favorite in my opinion.
I would say Charleston, Osceola, and #Smackover are all close.   

Osceola was a dang good and very young team last year I wouldn't sleep on them.

[BUCK FEVER]

I will address this horseshyt when I get home tonight.

[adaptedtigerfan]

Why is that?   You gotta think awhile about why you think the Smackaroos should be the clear #1?   You lost your whole line and your QB and your best receiver.   That's enough right there.

[adaptedtigerfan]

You heard it hear First Ladies and gents........    Charleston will be @ WMS again and if not they will make the semis.

[Longfellow]

1. Prescott/Smackover - this could go either way in my opinion
3. Mcgehee
4. Charleston - do we even know what offense they are gonna run yet?
5. Booneville - lost almost the whole backfield but it's Booneville,  always tough
6. Osceola - super athletic
7. Harding Academy - well coached, good QB
8. Lamar
9. Harmony Grove - two words. Jon Johnson
10. Fordyce
Others - ECS, Barton, Centerpoint

[WPWells]

From what I understand, Jackson Rowland has looked good in the spring and Charleston will be staying in the spread

[Hootie]

If it ain't broke don't fix it

[Longfellow]

I was hoping they would. I like the way Kendrick runs that spread, he is an excellent play caller

[minerjack]

Soooo.... I guess there is a different poll with JC attached to it?

[OLDSCHOOL82]

Not knocking kendrick at all..... Ty Storey could read the defense and ck at the line, thats why it was successfull with him holding the reigns.  That, plus his arm, is why he is a Hog!  Am i saying it wont work with Rowland, NO.  It will still be successfull, just not the same.

[Lineman]

There have been a few "modifications" to the offense. My understanding is nothing major, no one will probably know the difference. Kendrick & his staff have the knack for making adjustments when and where it is the most beneficial to the program. I think Jack will do just fine taking over. Hopefully the weather will cooperate & we'll get a good look this Saturday at Charleston's 7 on 7.

[Jimbo Morphis]

Soooo.... I guess there is a different poll with JC attached to it?

there will be in 2 years

[KOJACK]

Soooo.... I guess there is a different poll with JC attached to it?

Don't count on it

[Jimbo Morphis]

on them being top 10 when they move up?

[Truthfully]

So how have the teams at the top of your rankings gotten so much better?

Also, you do realize Charleston has won 29 games in a row and there were other players on the field besides Ty Storey, right?

I agree with you.. Too much tradition and good talent coming back, many having played a LOT of time each game last year, that I think Charleston should be in anyone's top 10 until PROVEN wrong by early season losses. Usually state champion team starts off the next year at least in the top 5 unless all 22 starting position athletes graduated and that seldom ever happens. I have C'town as #7 preseason. Storey had a LOT of support staff and many return this year...

Pretty sure smackover is playing in that 7 on 7. If I'm not mistaken... What time is the first game?

He's too partial.

I think they dropped out there was 18 teams at one time but now only 8.

[Proud Buckaroo]

I will find out. Thanks for telling me.

[Proud Buckaroo]

Smackover did drop out. Because of so many others dropping out.

Brilliant troll attempt...or so I hope

[BUCK FEVER]

He's still angry fordyce lost the championship again. Give him time.

You are either an idiot or a clown, probably both........or pissssed because the redbug seniors (to be) have lost 100% of there games to the Bucks seniors (to be).........you have a perfect o-5 record, I don't see it changing this year either ,

7th grade redbugs lose
8th grade redbugs lose
9th grade redbugs lose
10 grade redbugs lose
11th grade redbugs lose
GET THE PICTURE  ?.................

You say #44 only lineman returning.......the line not returning is the o-line, he did not play o-line, the defensive line only graduated d-ends.as for as #44  being undersized , that is true, but if younotice how many defensive lineman wear # 44 ??I don't think i ever recall one  before, you think just maybe he was playing out of position this past season ? maybe because they felt they could utilize him the most at that spot ?..........#44 is a natural linebacker and has been sense the 3 rd grade, and more than likely will move back to linebacker this year where he belongs..............he may have been a little small in stature......but not in STATS,
