I dont think Crest will win by 30 at WR its a tough place to play regardless of how their team playing.
Barely squeaked by last year.
Shouldn't have been close last year. Walnut Ridge was much better last year and the Colts are better this year. I'm not saying the Colts win by 30, but it wouldn't surprise me.

I like it. However, with Newport's inconsistency, it would not be a shock to see them either win by mercy rule or end Corning's losing streak
Newport has an undersized offensive line that is also under achieving. Not sure if the starters are hurt or what but the line that played Friday night can not possibly be Newport's best.
Newport will beat Corning!
Got a message from someone asking how to get the scores on conf games. What you can do is take a device (phone, android tablet, ipad) with you to the games. newport has sound of the hounds live video plus cable 15 on youtube. Piggott hometown channel posts every game live on youtube. Hoxie apparently does the same with 42 sports. That alows you to get the scores on at least possibly 3 of the 4 conf games each week depending on who plays who. I am told Manila does the same through Eritter but I have never checked it out. Of course, Osceola, Hoxie, Walnut Ridge, Newport, and maybe Corning also are on the radio.

Playing that going by scores can get you beat its a different game every week. Hoxie pull their defensive starters when Osceola pull theirs Osceola 2nd team score twice . When Hoxie cut into the lead late Hooks put his defensive starters back in the game. We as fans always say we couldve did this we couldve did that. The final score is the only score that counts Colts can say they mercy rule Walnut Ridge last week while the Noles only beat them by 21.Im telling you each week is different like Osceola only loss was to 5A Blytheville by 8pts who lost to 5A Valley View by 13pts who beat RC by 3pts ,we can go on and on with this but it wont decide who wins next week or the next.Also a quick lil stat for you out if the 6 wins Crest have, 4 are officially mercy rules but we all know games are played on the field.

Exactly cause the game will certainly be played on the field and neither team better not overlook anyone left. A key injury or two and its a whole different story.
If Newport wins out there would most likely be a 3 way tie for 2nd. By the way they have played who knows what they do.

Great post ISU7.You dont win games by what you have done in the past but what you do that night,so you dont overlook no one.
Hooks pulled his starters after score became 35-8 week 6 at Walnut Ridge. He could have left them in and mercy ruled them but chose to pull starters with 9 minutes to play in the third quarter! Coach Chandler pretty much does the same thing at Rivercrest!
I never compare scores but I can compare statistics! Osceola is much better on pass defense than I thought! They took away the passing game and held the first unit Hoxie offense to under 200 yards through 3 1/2 quarters! Rivercrest secondary was torched by the Mustangs all night! Osceola offense looked the best it has all season week 7! Colts still need to throw the ball more, because eventually someone is going to shutdown the run game!
Neither team needs to sleep on Manila or Newport in weeks 8 and 9! It could make for an interesting week 10!
So who is the 5th seed in your conference?

Did the Noles pull their starter vs Piggott. Ok you guys win ;D Osceola is the better team , so they should have no problem breaking that seven game losing streak, in which i know the Semonoles fans are waiting too EXHALE and will be rejuevenated. ;D ;D How many times did the Colts hear they need too throw the ball more when they made that RUN too the finals two years ago, also just because a team has the better stats doesnt mean they will win the game, example Gosnell vs RiverCrest and Pirates only scored 7 pts. BTW have you looked at the PF & PA for these two teams you might be surprised. Seriously I will be happy for coach Hooks and the Noles he is a heck of a coach, 8)

Even if they should win out, Newport still gets the 5-seed. they've already lost to both Hoxie and Piggott. Besides, since have yet to face Osceola or Rivercrest, they're more likely to lose out.

Will here are some stats for you. Rivercrest's passing stats during their 7 game winning streak against Osceole:
2016 2-2-30-0
2015 0-4-0-0
2014 4-6-32-2 (fullback was moved to QB)
2013 0-4-0-0
2012 11-14-219-2
2011 couldn't find any stats ( :( redandgray)
2010 1-2-19-0 (per game film)
From 2015-2013 not only did they know Rivercrest was going to run the ball, but who was going to be running it on every play.

I agree. Rivercrest Needs to pass the ball just a little bit more, Especially on first or second down, But statistically, it would be easier to shutdown Osceola than Rivercrest. While Osceola appears to be balance on offense, they are just a one man show. Let's look at the numbers: 20 rushing td's, Binky has 13 no one else with more than 2 td's. Osceola has 9 td's receptions , Binky has 4 - no one else with more than 2.
While Rivercrest runs the ball on every play, this year they have 4 back with 4 or more td's that is on the field at the same time. All with game breaking speed.

I agree again. Eventually some team may shutdown the colts running game, but Osceola hasn't in the past 7 years and will not this year either. ;D

They said the same thing about Marcus Monk at EPC. Rivercrest simply put their fastest db on Monk one on one for the entire game. Slammed. (two years in a row) Don'y be shocked if Rivercrest doesn't do it again.

Exactly, Binky won't be Rivercrest 1st Rodeo.
Ya'll leave the (real) Seminoles fans alone. I can understand all the excitement in the O this season. They have an outstanding coach and a pretty good team. 8)

RiverCrest has been running the ball for years, the 2015 team ran their way in to the state title game and they got there by defeating the #1 team in 3A on the road. I can recall the Colts beating a pretty good Osceola team lead by T. Bass, Tevin James, Harold Weeden, Brenden Parker, both Woodson's and a couple others. That was the game the Colts use their fullback at quaterback. So to me passing the ball hasnt been an issue for the Colts. If need be i'm sure they would be able too figure out something, meanwhile they keep winning with what they do and that's all that matters. ;) 8)

However, that one-dimensional attack proved to be their Achille's heel in the championship game. Harding didn't exactly shut him down, but they held him in check sufficiently to get a two-touchdown win.
But 5 years before that the Colts proved what a running game could do when you have speed from more than one player. The Colts have 4+ players that the defense has to try to key on in their running game. Rivercrest run game has sent them to Little Rock several times. It's not hard to stop a one man attack. it becomes a very different proposition when you not only have 4 or more really good backs, but a qb who can run as well.

Very true. I'm old enough to remember the potent Wishbone offenses at Texas and Oklahoma some years ago. It took several years for teams to figure out how to stop them even though they knew almost every play would be a run.
