Title: PA lost. So what happens now?
Post by: PA Dad on December 02, 2018, 09:02:55 pm
PA had a heck of a run.  Five years with no loss to an Arkansas team.  And I think they had only three losses in five years to out of state teams.

But LRCA beat them.  The streak is over.  But is the dynasty dead?

Red Devil said after the championship game last year that it seemed like the end of PA's run.  I agreed.  I was really surprised that PA performed as well as it did this year.

But P.A. was a fairly young team this year.  I don't know how many returning starters they have next year but it's quite a few.

PA was whipped by a better team today.  Many folks were glad to see that happen and I understand why.  I'd like to see Alabama lose because they've been too dominant for too long.

But I wouldn't give PA the last rites just yet.

The law of averages dictates that PA would eventually lose. The end? Not at all. I say Harrison, PA, Morrilton and Texarkana are the early favorites for 2019.

On another note It was nice to meet everyone tonight. PA has some welcoming, classy backers. Nice guys every one of them. I was a little disappointed that Maynard sent some flunkie to hand out signed 8 x 10's but oh well.

And I can attest that JessieP is not a bot.  I had lunch with him today and he is an entertaining and interesting guy.  And if anyone wants to call him out from behind his keyboard, my advice is don't.  He is a BIG guy.

Question for PA fans......Who replaces John David White?  I never thought I would see another kid like Will Hastings but JD did and maybe then some.

I think most know but JD transferred to PA from LRCA after his freshman year when Justice Hill and a couple of other good players stopped playing football.  I would have liked to see JD play with Justice.

I don't know who replaces JD.  Those are big shoes to fill.  But wide receiver is one position PA has historically replaced with relative ease.  We'll see who steps up.

Pulaski Academy, whether you like them or not, forced Arkansas high school football teams to get better.

I certainly expect to see PA get more titles in the future. But I also hope other high school programs continue to develop, to provide competition for PA.

This current era of football seems too focused on talent, rather than team (which I believe is one of the reasons for PA's success). Pulaski Academy has forced the rest of us to engage our brains.  :o

There has not been a truer or wiser statement spoken on FF, spot on my friend, Analytics is a viable game plan if executed properly, so teams have to adjust accordingly, thus making them smarter for it.  Team unity, discipline, and never give up attitude will always produce winners.  Go Jackets

So what becomes of the public schools ? They all seem dormant and short of talent. Out of the 32 teams in 5A football only a handful are decent.
Title: Re: PA lost. So what happens now?
Post by: MDXPHD on December 09, 2018, 08:27:00 am
I say just open it all up to a 25 mile radius for every school. It wouldn't help Batesville as much as others, but let's just make it a solid rule across the boards!

And private schools - if over 15 percent of your players receive financial aid, you're bumped up to 6A min. 25 percent would be 7A.

Why did I choose those numbers? No reason. Just because I wanted to.

I don't think scoring with 5 mins left in the game and going up 21 against an explosive team like PA would be considered running up the score.
I call it playing to win instead of just playing not to lose.

You're up 14. If you don't score, even though your defense has played well, it's also gave up big plays and scores. What if PA scores to make it a 7 point game. And then even though you've recovered all the onside kicks so far, the next one isn't guaranteed. What if PA recovers it and need only a score and two points to take the lead.
PA doesn't need a lot of time to score. I remember they scored in 8 seconds against Greenwood back in the title game. We scored to take the lead and kick off back to them with only 12 seconds left. And I can tell you we were almost as nervous as we would have been had there been 2 mins left and we played like it. Because had we simply let up and played to keep the lead for 12 more seconds, PA coulda done some Kelley magic and ended up scoring. Stuff like that can happen.

Great teams find a way to win. Against great teams, you have to always play like you're down 7. Never let up and never give them a chance to comeback. By the looks of it, LRC did just that with that final score. Even a field goal woulda helped seal the game away.

Out of the teams I saw this season vs LRCA that had enough talent to get it done were in no order: White Hall, Watson Chapel, Parkview, Morrilton and Texarkana.  I hope this doesn't sound condescending because it is not meant to be.  I was impressed with the athletes on these teams.  I saw McLellan and Blytheville on albeit not in person and they are talented enough to win it all as well. 

My point is talent isn't the only issue.

Maybe they changed into Razorback jerseys? That usually means a loss.

Whoever said this, certainly has not watched PA closely. I'd put as many on them as possible until the final horn sounded. Ask Harrison what happened towards the end of the first half when they are up 9  with a few minutes to go till halftime only to not get the ball back on offense with seconds left in the half after PA had landed 3 straight TD's with a couple of onside KO recoveries in between. Way too dangerous of a team to ever let up....That ball is shaped pretty funny, while LRCA did excellent on KO hands team recoveries it's just one funny bounce/bad hop away from changing momentum in a hurry.

Boogercat seems to be upset that Kelley doesn't want a challenge. I'm sure he just kicks his feet up and relaxes most days at PA - let's everyone else handle it because it's easy.

I'm not upset, if you would read between the lines as I stated before, you would see where I was going with it. I think the guy is a fraud if you as me. Someone who wins all these championship titles at one school don't want to challenge himself. Sooner or later those recruits are going to fold at PA. The PA dynasty will fall, believe me. Give it time, I'm just saying I'm surprised Kelly won't go to NWA and turn things around at one school up there. I'm sure Wal-Mart can pay half of his contract.

Definitely a fraud. Same for other coaches who are at a top tier school and continue to win. Belichick really needs to head over to Cleveland and get them a Super Bowl. Saban should go ahead and come to Arkansas. I really don't see why Kerr would stay at GS - he should move over to Phoenix and show everyone how good he actually is! Yes, these are all professional coaches, but you get my point.

And just so you know - they don't make'em more anti-private school than me. So I'm not supporting PA in saying this, but why in the world would he leave for another high school other than pride and arrogance.

Because he knows he can't buy kids as in recruit them in a public school. In a private school he can do what he wants. That's why his system is only good for PA not a public school. As I stated before, I understand his very comfortable at PA and has a good thing but in a way, I believe the guy is bored and need a new challenge. Every year his in the state championship it seems like. Every year when a certain school job comes up. Kevin Kelly name is always mention it seems like. Maybe he doesn't have what it takes to win at a public school. There's a lot of NWA schools that would love to have them and I'm sure they have the money to get him but he turns them down. I don't know if there is offers or not but lets say there are and he turns them down. Maybe deep down he knows his system is only for PA and won't be able to work at places like Rogers.

You are gonna lose soem games, Kelly will build back unless he takes another job.

Kelly isn't going anywhere. Why would he?  Can't do what he did at PA anywhere else in the state.

PA might shut down the football program, and, start a shuffleboard team? Frisbee golf is good, too.

Arkansas high school football is shutting down for 5 years for mourning.

Anybody see the Texas vs. Georgia game?  Great example of how attitude and emotion can outweigh everything else. Longhorns would have beaten Alabama or Clemson with that performance.

Yes, but they wouldn't have had that performance against either!

That's why he will stay at PA, his system only works at PA. He knows this. Why people keep mentioning his name on coaching jobs still gets me. If he had the so called offers at colleges and top high schools why not go? It's because he knows his system will fail and will stick at PA to pad his coaching stats and the books.

The problem with coaching offers at places like Alma is then you have to live in Alma. I don't think he's gotten a college offer, and he's not taking a high school offer.

I just saw a video of a former NFL coach currently on the NFL Network talking about an Arkansas high school football coach. I wonder which one it was?

This is another reason why people can't stand PA. The arrogance trickles down to fans like you. At least you guys have some decent people still  - but boasting about how popular your high school coach is just doesn't do it for most. Maybe that's why people want him to challenge himself? If everyone loves his system and everyone talks about it, including NFL and college coaches, I would predict it would be a far more popular system implemented at several spots.

In short, who cares If a former NFL coach talked about it. What's that do for you?

I've seen a clip of Paul McCartney discussing Little Rock Central and how it influenced he and John Lennon to write Blackbird. I've also seen Bill Clinton discussing Hot Springs high school. I would say Bill Clinton and Paul McCartney are both far more historically important than Pete Carroll. I'm just wondering why a clip of Pete Carroll (A sanctioned cheater) means anything? In this day and age with information being available in real time why no one has adapted KK's system at a higher level? It's quite simple, it wouldn't work. It was and is a genius move for a mid level classification, small state football team, it would be an unmitigated disaster at the college or pro level.

Wasn't Pete Carroll, and we don't know at the college level. Agree about the pros.

I could care less about PA.  It's a great program I will admit that, Kelly has built a dynasty there with what he can do. I just think the guy can do more. I think he would be a great recruiter for Arkansas.

Since the NFL favors scoring to sell tickets and advertising and there are injuries and penalties galore on punts, maybe the NFL will outlaw punting one day and everyone can just GO FOR IT ;D

Beautiful my friend. Beautiful. Didn't work for Solomon.

Boogercat, you are late to the party, and definitely know not about which you speak.

Also, it's I "couldn't" care less, not I "could", unless there are many things about which you do care less. I doubt it, though. Why don't you tuck that hate away in your "Chester drawers" and find a hobby that doesn't involve negativity.

Because he knows he can't buy kids as in recruit them in a public school. In a private school he can do what he wants. That's why his system is only good for PA not a public school. As I stated before, I understand his very comfortable at PA and has a good thing but in a way, I believe the guy is bored and need a new challenge. Every year his in the state championship it seems like. Every year when a certain school job comes up. Kevin Kelly name is always mention it seems like. Maybe he doesn't have what it takes to win at a public school. There's a lot of NWA schools that would love to have them and I'm sure they have the money to get him but he turns them down. I don't know if there is offers or not but lets say there are and he turns them down. Maybe deep down he knows his system is only for PA and won't be able to work at places like Rogers.


If you think public achools don't "recruit", then you're blind. I'm not naive enough to believe EVERY public school is clean.

I know there is some issues at NWA and there was some at NLR when Bolding was there. You're right it does happen in the public school but it happens more often at private because there's no punishment for it seems.

What's the punishment for it in public school?  Bolding is the only coach that I've heard of actually getting punished for recruiting...

They can but he won't book them.

PA vs Greenwood
Bentonville vs Greenwood
Strong vs Greenwood. I figure I give them an easy game so they can rest their starters for conference.
