Post by: Zebras98 on November 03, 2018, 01:01:49 am
Hoxie travels to Rison for round 1! Thoughts?

Seeing as how Hoxie is 5-4 as I previously stated this will also be a blowout.  Mercy rule.  Being a 5th seed do you expect competition?  I know things could happen.  Who has Hoxie beat?

I know Rison isn't glen rose but ask glen rose about a 5 seed Newport  from the 3a-3 beat them in the first round last season. Don't sleep on a 5 seed. Anyone can be beat

I have seen that happen as well.  Happened to Rison before. This team thinks that because they have so many awesome players they are unstoppable and are claiming a state title already.   I just think they need a reality check.

If you look at Hoxie's schedule, the 4 losses look like quality losses. (Some people will not understand that concept.) Rison should win, but I think it will be a tough game.

Rison didn't tackle very well last night against Dollarway. I'm sure Coach Totty will get their attention.
Last year's loss to Danville is still fresh in their minds, I don't think they are going to overlook anyone. Again, Totty will get their attention.
Rison may get beat, but it won't be because their mind is not right.

There is such a thing as quality losses, but I question how a team can allow over 300 points to be scored on them in a season and be competitive in the playoffs. Even winless Corning dropped 20 on Hoxie. Factor in that the game is being played in Rison, which is a tough environment for an underdog to play in.  The Cats will be up for this one.  I predict Rison by 35+.

A few years ago Rison was a 2 seed & lost at home to 5th seeded Mansfield. Rison was coming off their first loss of the year the previous week @ Prescott. The interesting tidbit was that the Mansfield head coach (Coach Gill) that year was previously the Rison defensive coordinator.

Sure, most of the better seeded teams win, especially at home. However it's never a guarantee. There's almost always an upset or two.

I saw Hoxie coaches scouting at the Rison-Dollarway game Friday night. Likely they'll devise something to give their team the best chance to upset Rison & move on.

Good luck to both teams.

Before everyone disregards Hoxie, remember Hoxie defeated 4A member Trumann back on 8/31. Trumann finished 7-3 overall & 6-1 in their respective conference.

Also as a 5th seed Hoxie scored 108 points all together against the top 4 teams in their respective conference. That's an average of 27 points per outing against their conference's best teams.

If they can figure out a way to slow down Rison's potent ground attack, then they'll make a game out of it.

Read somewhere that Rison has given up less points defensively than any team in any classification in the state. They're strength of schedule hasn't been great, but you play the schedule given you.

They don't hurt themselves with a lot of turnovers either. Believe they've only fumbled once & that was @ McGehee.

Safe travels for everyone going to any game Friday night, especially those visitors, many of whom are traveling a good distance.

Newport took down almighty Glen Rose from this spot last year, it can happen. Hoxie is probably the best 5th seed in the playoffs.

Hoxie has a good Senior Quarterback that does a really good job at mixing the run and pass offense.  He throws a good ball and when he is on, he is pretty tough.  I don't have to tell you anything about Coach Sears, he is an excellent coach.  With that being said, I don't see Hoxie being able to withstand the speed that Rison will have and folks...speed kills!!!!  I see Rison running off with this one.

Yes but Newport last year had several injuries early and wasn't a real 5 seed. They were much better than that. They played in the same conference as Osceola and Rivercrest who were pretty good last year. So that wasn't as much of an upset as all of you think it was. Plus GR hadn't beat anyone good last year going into that game.

Yes, Hoxie has seen speed they play both Osceola and Newport which are both very fast!  That's why they lost to those teams, speed.

Not to make excuses but mcgehee did lose there best running back the week of the rison game for disciplinary reasons. Best running back, and linebacker. Who knows could have made a difference. Rison is very good, but mcgehee is just as good with a bunch of underclassmen

Well, it appears as if there are some new Wildcat fans posting on the board. Glad to see you. However, I wish that you would show a little more humility regarding the team. Never give any team bulletin board material by posting arrogant statements. It's not fair to our boys. Otherwise, glad you're here and be cool.

My not-so-bold prediction:

Rison - 38
Hoxie - 12

Good luck to both teams. Hoxie fans, safe travels and enjoy the game and concessions ('cause there ain't anything else on the way back home until that Watson Chapel McDonald's). Hey, that's cool though, that's Rison, home of the Wildcats.

New to the board yes, new Wildcat fan hardly. I've been around long enough to witness 7 of our 8 titles.

With that being said, this is a really strong and confident team we have this year. In fact it's been a long time since we had a team as good as this one.

There is a lot of smack talking going on here, but that's what message boards like this are for.

I disagree with you about whats fair to our boys representing the Black and Gold this year. What they deserve in my opinion is fans that are as confident in their ability as they are. On a message board where everyone is talking smack and giving the Wildcats little or no chance to compete with the best of the best this year, what our team deserves is to have a few fans that will get in the middle of all the smack talking and show that we have all the confidence in the world in them. And I for one believe this team has what it takes to bring home #9

That doesn't mean either of us are wrong. The most important thing is we are both Wildcat fans and proud of it!

I don't think it's necessary to provide bulletin board material for our opponents in order to be proud of our team.  And it's not necessary to smack talk—unless you're twelve years old.  Rison has the best team in 2A, 3A and 4A and that will be revealed over time.

I've been around for 7 of them also. My preference is just different with regard to discussion boards for talking smack. It does increase pressure and can affect confidence. Just let the players' play do the talking. If you feel that they are truly that confident, then keep talking.

If 16-17 and 18 year olds need to be motivated come playoff time by fans (most of which have never taken a snap of competitive football) on an internet sports forum then smack talking is the least of their concerns.

To each their own. That's why I said l disagree but that doesn't make either of us wrong in our approach. I just happen to believe we have as good a shot as any and better than most. Smackover at Smackover is gonna be a tuff one providing we make it that far. We get by them we should be just fine with Booneville.
Title: Re: Hoxie vs Rison round 1
Post by: MR#1 on November 08, 2018, 03:10:45 pm
I agree that Smackover will be tough. They were a tough team when I played in the late '70s, well coached and good athletes. However, at the moment, my focus is on Hoxie and then Mayflower (if the experts are correct). (I was on a team that learned the hard way about overlooking opponents. Wish to this day that that team could have played that game over (Bradley, 1978).) Second-round and third-round games can be tricky. Most had penciled the 'Cats in last year over Danville, but we were halted. (Great effort and a good game though.)

Go Cats!
Title: Re: Hoxie vs Rison round 1
Post by: WonderWartHawg on November 08, 2018, 04:39:53 pm
Last stint the Cats spent in 3A, they were competitive but it became obvious that by about the third round of the playoffs that depth became a huge factor.  Most 3A teams, especially the ones that get that deep, weren't having to play as many players both ways and they usually had more players to give starters a short rest.

Going from one of the larger fish in the 2A pond to a smaller fish in the 3A makes a difference.

That said, this appears to be one of the better Rison teams talent wise and depth wise in the last few years.
That doesn't guarantee a thing though. There are other good teams out there as well.

I don't think it's necessary to provide bulletin board material for our opponents in order to be proud of our team.  And it's not necessary to smack talk—unless you're twelve years old.  Rison has the best team in 2A, 3A and 4A and that will be revealed over time.
If you choose to have no pride or confidence that's totally up to you. Just about everyone on this board is talking smack. I guess you can't see that. But what's really not necessary is you or anyone else trying to tell another fan how to be a fan. The best thing is for people to worry about themselves and live up to their own expectations because to be honest I couldn't care less about what you think is necessary.

Actually, most of the contrary posts are in response to claims by posters like you that Rison has the championship all but sewed up.
Says the poster that thinks Mayflower is on their way to Little Rock. I guess anything is possible, but the odds are greater that Mayflower gets mercy ruled in round two.

Not to make excuses but mcgehee did lose there best running back the week of the rison game for disciplinary reasons. Best running back, and linebacker. Who knows could have made a difference. Rison is very good, but mcgehee is just as good with a bunch of underclassmen
Lot of people underestimating McGehee this year.

I don't know where you got the idea that I have no confidence or pride. I have confidence in myself, my town and my team and I don't need to put others down in order to demonstrate it.

I haven't seen anyone tell you how to be fan either. What we don't need is material that other teams can use as motivation against us and that, I believe, is the point that MR#1 was making.

The point is I nor anyone else need your approval for anything. Post your comments as you see fit and I'll do the same. You do not have to agree with anything I post, so don't bother trying to tell me what WE need.

round 1 is here.  If their are any kids on any team that need motivation from anything other than the opportunity to bring home a championship then they shouldn't even throw on the pads Friday night.

That's great! But so am I. We have different opinions about what WE (The Rison Wildcats) need as far as fan support, but that"s OK we don"t have to agree. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. The only thing that really matters is that we all continue to show up and support these kids the best we can. Once a Wildcat always a Wildcat!

Most coaches play up the other team & downplay their own. No matter the mismatch, the better team's coach always lays accolades on the weaker team. Check out what coach Saban of Alabama does. Listening to him, you would assume the UA had a chance to win the Ark - Alabama game this year.

NEVER do you hear a coach worth his salt openly brag or boast that his team is the best & can't lose.

A VERY reliable Rison source personally told him that Rison coach Totty said he has never seen the playoffs as loaded with good teams as they are this year. The championship is wide open.

Sooooo, why don't we all act charitable, no matter if you think you're team is the best & gonna win. As fans, let's act like good coaches & be good sports!!!

And I've been around for the last seven Rison state championships too. Personally been to all their state football championship games, win or lose except in 1950. 1970 - win, 1982 - win, 1987 - lose, 1990 - win, 1991 - win, 1994 - lose, 1995 - win, 2000 - win, 2004 - win, & 2015 - lose; 10 championship games total.

Hog wash! If this team is so sensitive and weak minded that anything I or anyone else post on a message board will have any effect what so ever on the outcome of a game, they may as well stay home because they are beat before they even get started.

If this team does not believe in themselves as much as I believe in them, they may as well stay home.

Coaches tell that crap to the media, not their own team. They do everything they can to make their team believe they are better than their opponent.

This team needs the confidence and attitude that they can go out and tell their opponent were going to come out and run this ball down your throat and there is nothing you can do about it because we are better than you.

Fortunately I believe that is the attitude this team has.

This is hysterical. Rison fans are going to beat up on each other, figuratively speaking of course. Any visitors that want to watch, come on down to RHS Friday night.

Before everyone disregards Hoxie, remember Hoxie defeated 4A member Trumann back on 8/31. Trumann finished 7-3 overall & 6-1 in their respective conference.

Also as a 5th seed Hoxie scored 108 points all together against the top 4 teams in their respective conference. That's an average of 27 points per outing against their conference's best teams.

If they can figure out a way to slow down Rison's potent ground attack, then they'll make a game out of it.

Read somewhere that Rison has given up less points defensively than any team in any classification in the state. They're strength of schedule hasn't been great, but you play the schedule given you.

They don't hurt themselves with a lot of turnovers either. Believe they've only fumbled once & that was @ McGehee.

Safe travels for everyone going to any game Friday night, especially those visitors, many of whom are traveling a good distance.
And the 7 teams Truman defeated combined for a record of 22-48

Trumann beat 2 teams, Gosnell & Westside, both ranked higher than anyone we've beaten this year.

Thankfully we agree on something. I've said all along when people have doubted our competition that we can only play the schedule given us, mostly by the AAA.

McGehee was a preseason #2 team & look at the teams Fordyce lost to. Five of the better teams in the state in small classification ball. And some of those games were close.

Hope you make the game Friday night & see a Wildcat victory.

I've had my heart broken before in the playoffs. Losing to Mt Ida, Mansfield, Walnut Ridge at home, & at Danville last year. Those were tough losses, especially Mt Ida & Walnut Ridge at home. They dominated us.

I've asked some of my friends. Are we that good this year or is our competition that bad? Their answer they gave, probably some of both.

Dollarway was bigger & faster yet we won 59-6. Some many questions yet to be answered about our team this year.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed & hoping for that 9th championship you've talked about. That would be awesome. Plus I'm not getting any younger as the years roll on. Like to see the kids win some more at WMS.

We are long over due. I can't hardly believe it's been 14 years, that just doesn't even seem possible. Horatio had to have been one of the biggest let downs ever, as shocking as that loss was I think they went on and won state that year. If memory serves me right didn't they beat us 3-0 on our own field that at the time was in about same shape that Smackover's is now. Rison has had some great one's over the years and I believe this team could play with with the best of them.

33 years ago, man how time flies. But your right my sister in law came over and stayed with my pregnant wife while my older brother ( a member of the 1970 championship team) and I went to the playoff games. My oldest daughter was born Jan. 5th

Speaking of that 1970 team, (now I'm going off memory so cut me a little slack) they beat I believe it was Hot Springs Lakeside 87-0 And was the first Rison team to not lose to Fordyce. It ended in a tie.

The next older brother was a member of another Great Team that should have won it all in 1974 when they lost out to seems like it was Atkins 15-14. I believe this was actually the first team to beat Fordyce

Then my younger brother was member of the 1982 Championship team.

Myself, was a member of one of the worst Rison teams in the history of Rison Wildcat football 1980. However I wasn't involved in the last year as I left school in 79

Anyway Rison Wildcat blood runs very deep in my family.

1969 RHS team did indeed beat Lake Hamilton 87-0 & tied Fordyce 6-6. They finished 9-1-1 losing to Ashdown in round one 28-6.

1970 team finished the regular season 7-2-1 and ended up beating Prescott 7-0 for the championship that year at WMS on a blocked punt, scoop & score.

The 1974 team did beat Fordyce and finished the regular season 10-0. Eventually lost to Atkins in the semifinals played that year at WMS 20-7.

The 1980 team finished the regular season 6-4 behind Gould which finished 8-2. RHS lost in the first round of the playoffs that year to Cotton Plant 13-0.

1982 team finished the regular season 7-3 & went on a run before beating Hazen 2-0 at Hazen for the state championship. Game played on a muddy field & decided by a safety.

Then my younger brother was member of the 1982 Championship team.

Who was your brother on the 82 team?

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

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

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!

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.

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.
