Last Judges Cup...EveR: Dard vs Danville

[big slop]

Ok, the game is Tuesday and no one has mentioned it at all. I know Anonymous wants Dardanelle to lose because he's an idiot nonsupporter of his community, but what does everyone else have to say. Danville is supposed to have the best offensive line in 3A and a tough back that no one can tackle.......all I know about them. Lets hear it......

[WPWells]

If Dardanelle doesn't win by 21+ then I'll have doubts about the Lizards

[Gray lizard]

Do not have much to add, but plan on attending. My thought would be Dardanelle wins thus the reason for the last game between the two schools.

[OLDSCHOOL82]

I heard a rumor.  Did Danville try and back out of this years game?

[Lumberjackfan1978]

Lizards win this one by 28

[BigLion10]

Dardy by 28

[Longfellow]

This game won't be close. Lizards by as much as Price feels like. And who is this unstoppable running back?

[beach bum]

Dardanelle 55 Danville 13

Who is this  big back you're talking about? I thought Cathey was a senior last year?

[nastynice]

Dardy          77
Danville        6

[beach bum]

Dardy          77
Danville        6

If there wasn't sportsmanship honestly that would probably be the score.

[APACHE]

I smell an upset. Danville 21 Dard 20

I think he did graduate. I heard the same thing about the big back from Danville. When they came to Hector for the scrimmage all I kept hearing from their coaches is that they have a back, #32 I believe, that no one will be able to tackle. HMMMMMMMM, hope they aren't putting all of their eggs in that basket...


GO WILDCATS!!!!

Yes. Grant Cathey graduated last year. I don't know who they are talking about being this unstoppable running back.

I didn't see one during the scrimmage....

[RTF]

Dard by 28 atleast....

[seeya]

The reason you don't hear anything about the game is because teams are so mismatched and that's why this is the last Judges cup . Don't know where y'all got info on the unstoppable back or the biggest line I'm sure that wasn't a quote from the coaches .The back is last years fullback and could make a good back but by no means not unstoppable . As for the line its not the biggest just ask someone from Lamar . They know how much everyone weighs .

[APACHE]

Will this game be streamed?

Much like the Batesville vs Newport series that might have once been competitive this riviavlry is just not a good game for either team involved.

[young_gun]

The difference in size is just getting to be too significant. Danville will be back to a 2A school next year and Dardanelle just keeps growing making this a game that helps neither school. The other thing is Danville has week 1 and week 10 byes next year being in a 9 team conference in 2A. They wanted to play Two Rivers to keep a rivalry with a school close to their size and week 10 picked up Augusta. Good luck to all tonight and I pray that both teams come out of the game healthy with no injuries or setbacks.

[Gray lizard]

It is a shame to see this end.  I understand why, but still hate to see it.  I played in the early 80's when it could really go either way.  My senior year Dardanelle was really down after several coaching changes and only 21 on the team.  Danville won with a last minute field goal for a 3-0 final.  My Dad played for Danville in the 40's and most of my family was from Danville.  It was a very important game for me.  Best whishes for both teams.  Thanks to Danville for showing up and playing hard these last 10 years.

[OLDSCHOOL82]

This reminds me of the old rivalry between greenwood and Booneville that ended in the mid 90's.  The size difference became a huge factor.  It lasted years more than it should have due to the rivalry with Booneville always doing well until the very end. It was time to end it when it did. 

[~WPS~]

Is Dardanelle broadcasting it's game on csnsports.net ?

[Longfellow]

I'm glad to hear that they picked up TR next year

[Bigredhog1971]

Any game updates?

[hawgfan15]

Kershner just got an interception around the 1. Danville was moving the ball a little bit on that drive.

The playcalling for Danville has been terrible to this point

Nothing but hoping madding can make something happen it's working for the little johns....that said dardanelle has picked him three times

When they ran that bootleg pass out of the shotgun on 4th and 4, I just sat and shook my head. At this point this team isn't much more than jake madding

Agreed...dardy looks to be using this as practice for their other options on offense

[Longfellow]

So after the game Dardanelle is gonna practice? That's a tough coach

[HorseFeathers]

Heard his half time speech involved who wants mcdonalds, burger king or taco bell?

Seriously though, dardy is good. But compared to last year, they've dropped off...

[Longfellow]

It's the same thing everyone has said, it's gonna come down to what kind of production they get from the QB's. They looked really uncomfortable throwing the ball. Lots of under thrown footballs

#3 looked to be the better of the two throwing it

That's because madding is all they have!!! Just like Cathey was all they had last year!!

It would'nt have mattered what they called in this game.  Better team won and nobody got hurt so on to the next game.

[seeya]

Danville quarterback may have broke his hand at first of game .

Danville quarterback may have broke his hand at first of game .

I hope everything is okay, and pray he has a speedy recovery.

What did you learn from this game about Dardanelle?  I was not able to go as I coach a peewee team.  I caught the last half on the radio. The clock was already rolling.  Hint to the play by play tell the score of the game every 4 plays( Went almost 20 minutes with out telling the score).  From what I heard sounds like the team likes the color yellow.  Is who will play QB not decided at this point?  Looks like they may have a strong field goal kicker as they appear to be lining up in the FG for punt formation.  How did the 50 yard attempt look?  They said it bounced of the uprights.  Any way like to here some thoughts from the guys that made the game.

[Longfellow]

What I learned about Dardanelle last night:
1. Without tremendous speed, you will not run outside on this defense. They string plays out left and right all game
2. Obvious passing situations will be a weakness for this team.
3. Power running game is solid

Pass defense is pretty solid...not that danville has a spectacular pass game

[lizard1989]

I was at the game and I was impressed by the team. True they had some early mistakes, but I liked what I saw and look forward to another great year.  Once a lizard, always a lizard!!

[Gray lizard]

Once a lizard, always a lizard!!

That is not always true.  When you have a child on the opposing team that will not apply.  Trust me.

Kristian Thompson gets his first ATU touchdown tonite. With about 5 minutes left against Southern Nazarene, he has 15 carries, 82 yards, and 1 touchdown. Wonderboys lead 62-7

Hey that is great news.  I thought the game was on Saturday.  Did he play early or just late in the game?

[Longfellow]

Well the wonderboys played several running backs thoughout the game, I only picked it up in the second half. They had a total of like 469 rushing yards last night. He finished with 17 carries for 94 yards and 1 touchdown

[D-TOWN LIZARD]

Correct Longfellow -  he was in and out the whole game.  They had 3 speedy RB's , and Thompson for the power plays.  Also have a wildcat QB formation for Him. Also plays on all special teams.  Even made a couple of solo tackles on special teams.  Did outstanding for his first college game!

Awesome!!  Booneville boy Matt Berry got his first college start for Ouachita last night!  Nice to see local boys playing at the next level regardless the size of the school.

[D-TOWN LIZARD]

That's great.  How did he do?

[OLDSCHOOL82]

That's great.  How did he do?

I'm not sure if he got to touch the ball.  He's deep on Ko return and on all the special teams.  I believe he is in a rotation on offense but haven't spoken to anyone that knows for sure yet.
