Warren vs Dewitt. Let's get it started!

[AirWarren]

Go!

[RAZORBACK FOOTBALL]

Nothing to discuss for you guys til playoff time. Sad but true.

Dewitt by 6

[Jimbo Morphis]

Yawn

[KASH dba The Lumberjack]

DeWitt's Lady Dragons softball team is normally pretty good, football and boys basketball are normally not so good. Several coaching changes over the last several years with no competitive changes. Not coach bashing, just curious about how things never get better

[AirWarren]

Finish them early and get the subs in.

Warren 50 Dewitt 8

the Jacks looked good last week the offense is coming on it will be over at halftime.

[Romeo]

Our passing game is still a concern for me. It's improving, but were going to get exposed against good teams. Being in the 8-4A isn't helping.

Not enough athletes, but I do think their Soph class is pretty good.

It would probably help if they actually practiced every day though...

true hopefully our passing game will continue to improve every week before the playoffs get here,we've still got a ways to go

if it werent for Traylon, Warren would be a 4-6 team.

You could be right but with the conference being slightly down this year, highly doubtful.

But at least we won't be a 4-6 team

In most seasons DeWitt, although heavily "out-athleted" has still given Warren a little trouble because their offensive game plan worked to their advantage.  They ran the ball, ate up clock and limited Warren's offensive possessions.  Unfortunately, this season, if that's their game plan it's going to play right into the Jacks favor because this Warren rush stopping defense is unreal.  The Dragons will not have success running the football against Warren.  If they try to ground and pound against this defensive unit I truly think we'll see another opponent held to under 100 yds or total offense.

The athlete scale is once against tipped to Warren's favor.  Treylon Burks should have his biggest game of the season.  Simply put, DeWitt has no one on defense that can line up and contain Burks at WR--I don't know if even playing double coverage this week can slow him down.  If I was Hembree, I'd make sure to tell Kinnard to get the ball to Burks.  Short, deep, slants....whatever it takes but we've got to get him some really quality reps at WR before the play-offs get here.  This is the game to do it. 

If you'll look back to last week, I pretty much nailed the Dumas game.  Was off on the score (42-14 was my prediction) but I all but nailed the synopsis of the football game.  I think it's same song, 4th verse this week.  DeWitt will fight their tails off and man, I applaud those guys effort because they bring it EVERY WEEK, but Warren is just flat out the far superior team.  I think the Jacks jump out to a big lead early and the Dragons find the endzone late, likely on the 2nd/3rd teamers.  Jacks roll once again this Friday night.

I think you're right on Flap the Jacks will score early and often,the 2nd/3rd team will get lots of reps this week.Go Jacks

[Romeo]

Last year's game with DeWitt was pretty much 7 on 7. I don't think we ran the ball the entire game and Coach Hembree specifically told Lassiter not to scramble. This game would be a good opportunity to do the same thing.

Could not agree more.  Let's get Kinnard some pocket passing game experience.  I feel bad acting like this is an exhibition game, because I respect DeWitt and the fight their program shows every single game, every single year.  But, when you look at it through clear lenses, one team heavily outmatches the other in this game.  Warren has to take the opportunities to strengthen themselves whenever the chance presents itself.  Friday night is an excellent opportunity for Hembree to tweak and push the passing game.  We need to take full advantage of this and utilize a similar strategy to last year's match-up with DeWitt.

[Lumberjackfan1978]

Agree we need to get Kinnard as much passing experience as possible this would be a good game to try to get that experience

[Jimbo Morphis]

Better experience would be against Warren in practice with the lights on.

[KASH dba The Lumberjack]

Last year was the first time our guys stayed focused and played well. Normally, the Jacks play flat against the Dragons. Hopefully they will be focused and play like we are capable of doing

[Superjack45]

I would like to know why is everybody trying to compare a 2 year started to a player starting at QB for the first time in Sr. High I don't get that. HL Jr. Year was no more spectacular than the now QB it takes time and reps he is coming along by the end of regular season he will be fine.

You're son is doing fine. Don't get all defensive every time you hear the name Lassiter. It's ok.

But will just "being fine" be enough come playoff time?

Not sure but he is on track so far hopefully that will continue threw out regular season.

[cuckoobird]

The conference is horrible though.

Not defensive at all I would be the first to say that JL was the glue that kept it together last year,but I say this and you can take it how you want. I am harder on my son when he make mistake more than anybody but it's his first year and I say again he will be fine during the playoffs if we make it lol!

Yeah it's pretty bad when Dway is a bottom feeder it's pretty bad.

You are right 7 4A is the toughest look like,so they will already will have been tested.

[AirWarren]

The conference is horrible though.

Been horrid for years.

16 conference titles, 4 state titles, and 2 runner ups....I'll take our chances come playoff time.

[cuckoobird]

I meant it's easy for the qb play to look good when all the conference competition is so bad. Warren is a good team but before conference started Burk had to qb all 3 games if I'm not mistaken

Injured thigh also was a reason.


Rest assured though, Burks is going to get his hands on the football.

It hasn't been this bad though. SC had a couple good years, Dollarway has had several, Hamburg last year in the playoffs...

I can't see a single team this year other than Warren than will make a dent in the playoffs.

It's why Coach Hembree schedules such tough teams in the nonconference.

[FF Secretary of Defense Flap_Jack48]

It's why Coach Hembree schedules such tough teams in the nonconference.

Bingo! Nailed it. Even when the conference was pretty good a few seasons ago, Bo still does his best to schedule tougher non-conference opponents because it does prepare them for what awaits in the play-offs.

I'll agree though, it'd help to have some competition in conference play. Hopefully this is just a rough season and we'll see a resurgence in the 8-4A in coming seasons. Or it could be the beginning of a slow death. The Delta region is far from flourishing and since our base lies in this region this might signal the beginning of the end for really good football in SEArk. As a Lumberjack fan it makes me very appreciative to see the level of continued dominance Warren has been able to sustain. Bo puts a competitive team on the field every season and I think these last 5 seasons might have been some of his best. While the conference around us struggles Bo has Warren in the title talk season after season. Blessed with good talent but so much of it is coaching as well as the community support.

Proud to be a Lumberjack!

Dollarway's situation is sad to me.

[RAZORBACK FOOTBALL]

We schedule tough non conference games, this season we got curb stomped by Pea Ridge and by Ashdown and beat a weak Camden Fairview team. Difference from what I see is you guys learn from it and make the changes needed and we don't.         

[KASH dba The Lumberjack]

You can't compare J. Kinnard this year to H. Lassiter last year in the final 3 playoff games. If someone has HL's Jr stats I'm sure they'd compare to JK's Jr stats. Lassiter grew a lot at QB between Smackover as a Jr to Pea Ridge as a Sr..
Putting Burks in a QB doesn't mean there's a controversy, he did the same with Brett Smith and Darveon Brown.

[cuckoobird]

He did it to keep them ahead

[FF Secretary of Defense Flap_Jack48]

And it worked out pretty well for Warren. Like I said in another thread I could care less who scores the points or where they come from. Burks, Kinnard, Steppes, McKnight, Hargis, offense, defense or special teams. Don't care. Just score the points and have more than the other guy at the end of the game.

Bo Hembree knows more about coaching than I do. His success is unrivaled as far as 4A coaches go and he's one of the Top 5 coaches in the entire state. If he wants to run Burks at QB, I'm good with it. I do hope before the play-offs get here that Kinnard will continue to progress as he has these last few weeks. Starts Friday against DeWitt. Hoping to see Warren really focus on the passing game, get Burks some quality reps from the WR position.

6 points on the board is the same whether it's by air. By ground. By special teams. Or defense.

Same with the 3 points from special teams. Think we had a 43 yard FG this year.

Just score. Just win.
