How's the offense coming along? Looks like Mansfield will get a taste of its own medicine this August

Haven't heard how the offense is coming.  Only a few die hards post on waldron ::)

If Waldron can manage to beat Mansfield for the season opener it could provide a huge confidence lift for them.   It looks by reading the articles that Waldron is a young team, with I think it said only 2 returning starters.   So, as they say in fb this is the re-build phase but should have a payoff in a few yrs under Coach Davis new leadership.   

None the less, the fans in waldron need to go out, pack the stands and support those kids and new coach this yr.  imo

@betz- I understand, thanks for keeping us updated on Waldron.

Calpereps won't finalize their preseason rankings until mid August, and they project Waldron to have a challenging year, but thought some of the faithful might find this of interest:  CLICK HERE

After the loss to PC, Coach Davis was head coach in name only, he lost the kids, obviously they were a good team, they just had the wrong leader

I am all for books about Perspective.  I fully believe in the the bible and the Lord's word.  I support children at the upmost level that I can and in everyway that I can.  I have never said otherwise.

If you go back and look at 1 of my earlier post I said that Coach Davis was a supporter of FCA which stands for Fellowship of Christian Athletes.  It also states in his phone interview that he is a Youth Pastor.

So, I fail to see how that Waldron could of made a bad hire.  Coach Davis seems to incompass ALL the values that the school and parents could possibly want in leading their children.

bleudog, are you now trying to correct and do damage control for the post you mad earlier on who actually runs offence and defense?   Do not assume anything about anyone until they are given a chance.  He is a Coach yes, but he is also a man and none of us are perfect but we are forgiven.

You asked me if I was serious on my signature?  Yes.  It seems I have perspective and my signature states so.  Your signature bleudog list Football Championships.  Am I to interupt that as your perspective?    That would be judging would it not?  Have you ever been to Waldron and met any of the kids?   No.      Time will be judge for Waldron.

Never said he was a bad hire.  Not trying to do damage control.

Anyone familiar with the 2A-8 and Strong could tell you there was tension in the program after the loss to Parkers Chapel.  I was at the Norphlet game immediately after that loss and coaching reassignments were obvious.  Not saying they were right, not saying they were wrong.  Not saying those changes made any difference in the ultimate outcome of the rest of the season.  What did happend was Strong went undefeated after the PC loss, including getting a win over a JC team the Bulldogs had lost to earlier in the seaston, and earned a state championship the week after avenging that loss. 

Regardless of what Coach Davis accomplishes at Waldon, he will always be on record as the head coach of the team that won its last playoff game in 2011.  And as they say in the commercials, that's priceless. 

I wish Coach Davis the best at Waldron.  I will again applaud him for his gracious comments directed toward Strong when the article about his leaving was published in the local paper. 

I wish for the players at Wadron what I wish for all amateur athletes and something many kids have heard me say:  Do your best; play smart; have fun. 

And since it was you who brought up Waldron wins in your poll at the beginning of this thread, I'll help out and vote for Waldron to improve on last year's win total.

Well, I have to say that your statement supports bleudogs.  I have come to know a little more about bleu and he quite frankly seems to only state things he can back up.  With that said, it should play out to be a very interesting yr for the waldron bulldogs, and lets hope that Daivs is the leader for that team. 

All indications so far by articles posted is Yes, he is.  So, I along with bleudog(he wished him well too) still wish him the best of luck and success.  Always hard coming into a new town, making new friends, with rumors going round-n-round and gaining the players support.  I predict he will be just fine. 

Waldrons record couldn't really, at this point get any worse could it?    A few yrs into Davis's leadership will tell the tale.  Let's hope it is one for the record books. ;)

Thank you sir! Man you're good, I just did it last night and haven't even announced the changes yet. Thanks for your support it means a lot.

As for whether or not Coach Davis is control of this team, I can answer that, All of the coaches and players are behind him 100%. I've never seen unity on a team like this in the four years I've been here in Waldron and I'm pretty sure the majority don't look at or care what is written on here. We all have a past. His time is now for Waldron and we will support him in that way! We have had nothing but positive come out of the hire of Davis, now we just need to turn it into Wins! We are headed in the right direction!

Hey guys. I'm reading Hooten's, seems like the players being talked about as contributors are kinda of light in the pockets. That being said are there any/many potential players that are standing aside waiting on a new coach?

I see one of Waldrons strengths according to Hooten's is linemen, am I missing something?

For the spider guests, I thought I would let you know how the poll is turning out.

It currently stands at this time with 4 games leading at 45% of the votes. 

0 games-5 votes (12.5%)
2 games-6 votes (15%)
same as-6  votes (15%)
4 games- 18 votes (45%)
5+ games- 5 votes (12.5%)

All in all I would say, Waldron you are on your way.  The numbers for pee-wee football the foundation for the program stands at an all time high this year at 140!  The senior and junior high numbers are doubled and all the coaches are devoted 110% to the kids.  All the hard work being put in, will eventually turn into wins.    GoodBetterBetz,  thanks for posting and for the articles that allowed me to come up with the totals for the Bulldogs. 

I think I have filled my quota for posts and will stop at 2001!( for now ;D)  What a great time making new friends and being allowed to be a apart of many schools traditions.  Now it's Time to get ready for some Football!   8)

I think if Waldron doesn't win this scrimmage it's going to be a very lonnnnng season for them!

In seriousness, it will be a good learning game probably.  Danville is a tough team, they went to the playoffs a couple of yrs ago against Magazine, and have always been pretty good, and it is usually a close game between Waldron and Danville.

Coach Davis and his team just need the experience, practice and learn to develop as team 1st and go for them there. 

DHS#1

It would be a good scrimmage to watch! and yes i do agree with you

Waldron 77, Ozark 0

Yeah, that would sound about right.   ::)

Back then, the Hillbillies were much like what Dover is now--a usually sub-par program that would suddenly erupt with incredible brilliance once every several years.  It wasn't until the '70s that Ozark would have success more frequently, and it would take two more decades before success could reasonably be demanded every season.

Sure would be nice to have Waldron be able to return to such a dominate team.  I am really thinking that with the Coach Davis this can be a reality once again in the future.   Will take time,  just hope some are willing to wait and give him a chance.


Can't believe Coach V. hasn't made a pick on the Waldron vs Mansfield game coming up!    I think it will prove to be a good game and allow the Bulldogs to grow as a team.  Go Waldron Beat Mansfield!

Waldron has some work to do from what I saw tonight maybe they can get something going by the time conference play starts or it's going to be a long year for the bulldogs.

Thanks for posting about Waldron!   Finally, I thought I was the only one alive on this thread... ;D

Like I said, the Bulldogs are learning and working to play as a team.  New aspect of Football for them, the Coaches etc.  Danville- folks is a good team this year.  They will more than likely go to the final playoff round. 

People are really going to have to back this Coach and team and give them a chance.  Davis is a hard worker and very dedicated from what I hear.   I have heard that they are more together with the basic plays, routes etc. and functioning better overall in general.  I also hear that he has brought a new sense of energy and excitement with players and has really bonded with all of them.  Like a team.   

What's that saying, Rome wasn't built in a day!   Be Patient.

Thanks for the kind words about Danville it's going to tough for them to get that far in the playoffs in 3a if they were still in 2a they probably win it all but as far as Waldron goes I think if they stick with that coach a couple of years they will be good maybe not this year but I think by the end of the season this year they could start see a difference and some improvement.Its just going to take some time and effort.

Is Waldron any better at covering the pass?   sounded like that is something they have struggled with for a few yrs and this scrimmage against Danville.

Interview said Mansfield has 2 240 pnd lineman, a good running bck and are a underated team.   

Concerning.......but Coach needs time and I would even say maybe another Coach he could bring in to help out considering Waldron is a 4A school would even be better possibly. 

Should add that Waldrons Stats (yes stats) for the Scrimmage looked very good as opposed to yrs past which I would predict is do to Davis's new leadership.  Positive's keep happening!!!!

Waldron, Davis Want to Find Winning Ways.  That is the title of an article ran in yesterdays Special edition of Football Preview 2012 in the Times Record by Bobby Swofford. ( It featured all area schools as well)   

Wish it was online so I could share it or if I knew how to scan and post like some other person I know ::) it would be even better! ;D  But I don't so here is one of many positive comments from Coach Davis and how he is seeing things being turned around for The Waldron Bulldogs.  Davis spoke highly of the Bulldogs.  Waldron's youth is on their side and they have lots of upcoming potential.

"The big thing that has encouraged me the most is how hard they have worked," Davis said.  We are going to share the football," Davis said.

"We are bringing back the triple option attack so you ned plenty of guys back there".  Carpenter,Igle he noted as the fastest along with Brumbelow who runs the ball really hard at full back position.  He stated that Dakota Wagnor (D-Wag) will lead the offense at qb. Davis noted several sophmores who will see action on the defensive side as well, along with Johnston who won out the job of center in the spring.   Sr. Bryson Betz was also mentioned to be the big play threat for the Bulldogs' offense.

Waldron was also featured along with all area schools in a 4-4A Capsule in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette yesterday, by Lane Kramer.  It was featured as Northwest Arkansas Football.  NWAONLINE.COM   Section K.   fyi. ;)

Still don't know how to post actual articles but here is what Davis said.

Quoting Coach Davis: "When you've been beat down as long as Waldron has, you've got a mind-set you've got to overcome that you can't win.  As much as we'd like to go undefeated, we'll be happy with four or five wins, just something to show improvement and that we're turning things around."
