[HorseFeathers]

Same ole same ole....but for those that are new.

No limit of votes cast from a school. Troll attempts won't count this year.(Voting Marvell at #1etc). And all votes HAVE to be cast in this thread this year...as I'm to lazy to dig through my inbox and sort through the 2a pick'em messages to find these votes.

Open Until August 15th

We all know mountain view has the trophy in their case anyway, the season and "top 10" are just a formality to keep us busy until basketball season

Is that before they throw a game?

[Skip Baymore]

OK.  I guess I'll kick it off HorseFeathers.

This is Skip's official Pre-Season Top Ten "Special Edition."  The "Special Edition"  includes mascot names along with an uninformative comment to accompany each team.


1.   Prescott Curley Wolves.   (Not quite as potent as last year but should definitely be considered the boss coming in).
2.   Charleston Tigers.   (Also not as good but should still be a boss.  Just maybe not The boss).
3.   Junction City Dragons.  (Don't have a feel for JC this year.  Kind of going strictly by others here.  Don't usually do
      that).
4.   Glen Rose Beavers.  (Put G.R. somewhere in the 4-8 spot and you will almost always be right).
5.   Harding Academy Wildcats.  (Some mystery here.  Improved from last year at majority of positions.  Could be
      very good).
6.   RiverCrest Colts.  (Put RiverCrest somewhere in the 4-8 spot and you will almost always be right.  Sometimes
      they trick you though and are better).
7.   H. Harmony Grove Cardinals.  (Good team for sure.  Its a shame they have to be in there with Prescott and G.R.
      this particular year).
8.   Fordyce Redbugs.  (Always a strange team to me.  Could lose 3 games or play for the championship (or both).
9.   Smackover Buckaroos.  (Some mystery here also.  The Bucks more likely to be better than people think than
      not as good).
10. Piggott Mohawks.  (Should be strong.  Need to do some studying up on Piggott though.  Had to look at Hootens to
      see what there mascot was).

Next 5 in no order:    Newport Greyhounds (would have been in my top ten three weeks ago),  Clinton Yellow Jackets,
Bald Knob Bulldogs,  Atkins Red Devils,  Cedar Ridge Timberwolves.

TU skip and good assessment. Only thing is that in the "other" 5 at the bottom, I would have Paris there too, certainly ahead of Atkins and Cedar Ridge.. Eagles do soar high you know...    
As usual, south AR for some reason is strong again. Charleston puzzles me this year. Their tradition and coaching always seems to come thru in the clutch... Coach Kendrick is a great motivator for sure. But from what I heard from locals there, they will be "down" this year. Heck, that might mean second in the conference and then win 2-3 playoff games. Any town would accept that!!

Everything you say makes sense papaeagle.  Cedar Ridge was the last team I through in there (a coming up team that returns a ton of starters), but was mulling over Paris and Elkins.   Still don't know if Paris lost their starting
QB?   I do think Chucktown is still a huge favorite to win the conference but it wouldn't surprise me a lot if they don't turn out to be number 2 in the poll.  Im starting them there until proven otherwise.  My week 3 poll will prob. look a lot different from this one. 

[Truthfully]

Getting excited. In just 3 1/2 weeks some games will be upon us, then full swing first Friday in September. Good poll comments Mr. Skip. Bet it does change a lot by the first 3 weeks of games. Never know about 16-18 year old young men, who will show up on Friday.  ,

Thank you sir and me too.   In my 40's and have a teenager who I'm not even sure is going to show up for breakfast.

Guess this is the preseason Fan Top 10 for 3A....

Guess this is the preseason Fan Top 10 for 3A....

Its becoming clear to me now HorseFeathers.   I probably shouldn't have gone first.  A lot of the fans on here are football savvy and recognize a work of art when they see one, even with Cedar Ridge getting a mention (this might bring in some more polls if youre still taking them).  It does look like a few tried to submit polls, but on the wrong thread.  Skip.

Better not overlook those kids from Newport

Didn't look all that great this past Tuesday.  Did some good things, but looked incredibly sloppy.  IMO

Of course that's what scrimmages are for. To find the bugs and work them out before the season starts.

Sure. But teams who weren't as sloppy will already be a good bit ahead of that curve.

[Bigred18]

Newport is the team many people overlook but my personal opinion they are a better team versus some of these other schools in 3a. From what I've seen if Newport doesn't make a long playoff run this season their now Jr class will make sure of it next year.
