I have a buddy who graduated from Subi who's at the naval academy now. They put people in Caltech, Stanford, several Ivys. What more do they need to prove?
Alot! Young kids shouldn't be sent off to live on a campus without their family. I think parents that send their kids there have a screw loose.

If I had kids I would never think about sending my kids to a private school but you're kidding yourselves if you don't think private schools as a whole offer a better educational experience.

Why? I hope the answer is not because it is a Catholic school? As stated above I am not a fan a religious based schools but it is a fact as a whole those schools will offer a better learning experience for a kid in general. I loved my public school experience but if people want private religious based schooling then let them be happy and at a great school in the process.

Jealousy is an ugly thing.  Most good academic schools are disliked because of their excellence.

So, how does the picture change with Waldron added to the mix in place of Robinson (IIRC, correct me if I'm wrong)?

Oh lord that's just bad.... Hopefully with a chance to play Subi now they have a shot at a win in conference. As well as after this season maybe Dover goes into one of its dips as a program. I know West Fork as well is about to hit a a little slump and they would already have trouble in 4A the last year. Waldron would have to hit the jackpot to win all three of those. Booneville, Dardanelle, Pottsville will be too much too handle and possibly even Ozark.

Waldron has played Subiaco way more than 4 times in Waldrons school history and the record would be in Waldrons favor.  Subiaco was however Waldrons last win.

Well actually Waldron and Subiaco both back in the 80's and 90's were both in the 4A conference in years past.   Years ago, tho.

I think you need that check up, your panties seem to be in a bind lately.

RTF

PrivateLesson.. do you seriously think Subi would bash itself on their own website? I also, have first hand knowledge that 12th man is wrong... also, SOME of the kids that do go on to good colleges have already graded out BEFORE they get to Subi, in other words, they are already of high IQ, so does that make Subi academics better?

If Dardanelle goes undefeated again which most people expect that.... it will be quite the feat for a school like that to go 20-0 in a 2 year stretch. At PG we almost pulled it off 2 and 3 years ago. The only loss was a 28-21 loss to eventual 5A state champ Morrilton. I guess what I am trying to say is you expect a school like Nashville or Warren, and even Charleston in 3A, or JC in 2A, or PA in 5A to pull that off from time to time but not a school like where I am from or Dardanelle(although Warren always plays such a difficult non conference school to pull it off). I see Dardanelle getting another 12 or 13 wins again which will be unbelievable for any program to pull that off 2 years running. Pottsville as a rivalry game could be the only speck of chance for a loss this year.

I may be wrong but I thought it was at least 5 on both sides of the ball. I don't have that trusty magazine with me though to know for sure. They return nearly all the lineman on both sides of the ball. Losing that QB will kill them when it comes deep into playoff time and you need those desperate chain movers on 3rd and short or stretching a 2 yard gain into a 5 yard gain on 2nd and long. Anybody that knows small town high school football knows they won't be the same on offense without him.

Oh I agree, they have a weak schedule but they'll be in trouble come playoff time. If Robinson gets a little better play calling this year they COULD win that conference IMO.

Dardanelle returns 5 on offense and 7 on defense I am pretty sure.

The Lizards will be very stout on defense once again. I think most people's main concern is are they going to be able to put up points against other good teams. Kershner is one of the better skill players in 4A and they have arguably the best Oline in 4A which is a good start offensively.

I don't think people are talking enough about Robinson. They are loaded at the skill positions. Here are a few names to know.

RB/WR TJ Hammonds - Arkansas commit
QB- Brennan Johnson - 3 year starter
RB- Miles Fells - Jr transfer from PA.
WR- Nathan Page - Just a sophomore and already receiving big time D1 attention

Dardanelles winning experience and overall physicality makes them the favorite for sure but Robinson will give them a good game this year.

I need some help understanding this.....Dardanelle preseason #1.  I am from Yell county and I follow all the teams in the River Valley, but I am also realistic.  There is no way this team will be as dominant or powerful as last years team.  Yea the defense should be legit, but they still have to replace Gerardo Hernandez, Parker Witt, Easton carter, & Michael Dugan all of which were either all state or all conference.  Then there is offense where they have to replace Kristian Thompson, TJ Tucker, Parker Witt, Michael Dugan, Gerardo Hernandez and Easton Carter.  Which Thompson and Tucker were both all state also. Yea you have Kershner.....but he can't do everything.  Last year there could have been as many as 5 offensive weapons on the field at one time.  This year there is one real threat......Kershner.  This years team has bigger numbers but not any quality players that can fill the void that these young men are leaving.  Now before everyone from Dardanelle starts dogging me, I'm not saying that this team won't win some games bc they will.  Besides, we all know that the 4a is down this year, and if they WERE to win state, that would be the reason.  And I also think that the only reason they ranked preseason #1 is bc what last years team did.  It's not fair for people (especially from Dardanelle) to take away what that team accomplished last year and the atmosphere they brought to not only Dardanelle but the whole River Valley.  Even if this years lizards won state....they still wouldn't be the team from last year.  Put this years team in the place of last years team and the outcome wouldn't have been the same.....not even close.  They are the same team minus 6 legit playmakers.  With no one of their ability to replace them.

Stop it now.... you are making too much sense. I am high on Dardanelle but realistic at the same time. I am saying 13-1 again which is beyond impressive for a two year stretch. But that #1 ranking is the most ridiculous thing I have seen.

Fair I guess your momma never told you sometimes life just isn't fair! I have a kid on the team and I don't know of anyone that has said we are as good or better this year. Those kids you mentioned without a doubt were awesome and some will be hard to impossible to replace. However we have what we have and we will play what we have to play. I think Dardanelle as always will take this a game at a time and we will concentrate on conference first and playoffs when we get there. Your pathetic attitude toward the others who helped make last year what it was and are back this year doing the best that can to make for another good season. Those 6 players were very legit but it took several more to have the success we had last year. I am sure I know you and the sad part is I probably think I like you which bothers me that I like such a cowardly moron. To start a new profile to break down this years team is pitiful. My son played last year and we are proud to have been a Lizard last year and win or lose we are proud to be a Lizard this year. Unlike yourself I find bragging distasteful.

Barclay Almanac guys say Dardanelle only returns 4 starters? Is this correct? And don't tell me how much "experience" your backups have...only 4 starters return?

I may be wrong but I thought it was at least 5 on both sides of the ball. I don't have that trusty magazine with me though to know for sure. They return nearly all the lineman on both sides of the ball. Losing that QB will kill them when it comes deep into playoff time and you need those desperate chain movers on 3rd and short or stretching a 2 yard gain into a 5 yard gain on 2nd and long. Anybody that knows small town high school football knows they won't be the same on offense without him.

Oh I agree, they have a weak schedule but they'll be in trouble come playoff time. If Robinson gets a little better play calling this year they COULD win that conference IMO.

I don't think people are talking enough about Robinson. They are loaded at the skill positions. Here are a few names to know.

RB/WR TJ Hammonds - Arkansas commit
QB- Brennan Johnson - 3 year starter
RB- Miles Fells - Jr transfer from PA.
WR- Nathan Page - Just a sophomore and already receiving big time D1 attention

Dardanelles winning experience and overall physicality makes them the favorite for sure but Robinson will give them a good game this year.

I heard through the grapevine that RB- Miles Fells - Jr transfer from PA tore his ACL?????

hawgfan15

He did last year. You heard he has torn it again?
