Well it looks like Ricky Don Jones looked to Oklahoma's Class 6A Division II to replace the Crawford County Cowards on the Greenwood Bulldogs football schedule for the next two years. No contract signed yet for this home and away series according to my trusty Southwest Times Record newspaper and their keen eye for detail, but I imagine everything will get finalized soon.

The Bulldogs also keep non-conference Northside and Southside for the forseable future.

We did upgrade our opponent, but to my utter disbelief, we downgraded our oppositions mascot drastically from the ultra aggressive, never give up, Airedale to a lowly "Sandite". According to the Sand Springs Public Schools website a "Sandite" is: "To set the record straight, a "Sandite" is not a small beach dwelling insect.  That would be a Sandmite.  Now being comfortable with what a Sandite is not, the question still remains:  What is a Sandite?

     Obviously, a Sandite could be anyone who is a student or a graduate of the Sand Springs School System. That definition is merely superficial.  At a deeper level, a Sandite is someone who embraces the motto of Charles Page High School:  Character-Pride-Honor-Scholarship.  Unfortunately, this definition falls short as well.

     No definition of Sandite is complete without a reference to the curiosity, compassion, perseverance, and philanthropy that was instilled in us by our community's benefactor, Charles Page.  Moreover, the definition of Sandite must include the pursuit of excellence:  be it in the classroom, in the club room, in the choir loft, in the orchestra pit, on the stage, on the athletic field, or on the streets.

     Hopefully, after observing our schools, you will be inspired to respond to the question, "What is a Sandite?" with:

THE PERSON YOU WANT TO BE."

Ugggg..... Please dear lord, I hope the Sandites live stream works better than ours, even though their mascot is terrible.

This should be a great addition for the Greenwood Bulldogs and we'll need to get the Sandites ready for Fearless Friday over the next couple of years. Can't wait....

GO BULLDOGS!!!

The Future

Sandites. Haven't heard that one. Haven't ever even typed that. My phone autocorrected to sandy tea.
This made me think. I think the most unusual mascot name we have here in Arkansas is the wampus cats. Or maybe the boll weevil from U of A Monticello.
I googled unusual mascot names for high schools across the country. Was not disappointed.

Alaska: Aniak Halfbreeds
Connecticut: Avon Old Farm Winged Beavers
Florida: Laural Hill Hoboes
Georgia:Cairo Syrupmakers
Illinois: Freeburg Midgets   After a David vs Goliath win they went with the name
Louisiana: Crowley Ladies and Gentlemen    Confused on this one too
Minnesota: Blooming Prarie Awesome Blossums
Mississippi: Stanislaus Rock a Chaws
Ohio: Crooksville Ceramics
Tennessee: Webb Feet   You read that right.
West Virginia: Poca Dots  you read that right too.
Wisconsin: Kaukauna Galloping Ghosts

There were a handful of more ones that made your eyebrow raise but these I thought were the most unusual.
I checked. These are all current and active high school mascots.
Gotta say though. These are good ones. But I will always like the Deaf Leopards of the Arkansas School for the deaf.

Alma played anything but Cowardly but I'm sure you are just being sarcastic.

If the Sandites do not perform like we expect AlmaNeverWas, we can always come back to face the Crawford County Cowards. I think Sand Springs rankings over a wider sample show a much improved opponent compared to Alma.

Drive past three teams that would whip you [Broken Arrow, Jenks, Union) to play a team that PA jacked by 38 points.

Yep, that's a real character builder...smh

There's a fine line between character building and soul searching Stinkbait. I know which one your Mavs are doing!

Don't you have some exhaust hoods to clean? Stay in your lane....

Bulldogger15 and Baitshop now there is a pair. We should put them in a post all to themselves and let them go at it. It never fails these two hijack and wreck most threads that have anything to do with Greenwood.

Bigfootdogfan, you should never cast stones in a glass house.

"Wreck"? Ha! Oh, I forgot how much insight and knowledge you bring to all threads. You should change your handle to Obamafootdogfan.

Delusional....at best!

Yes it's old Bigfoot, moved to LR and had to set up new account because my email address changed, but I still know how to pull chains. LOL!!!!! Bait doesn't swallow the hook like Bulldogger15 does, maybe he will learn. LOL!!!!!!! Just because I moved doesn't mean I quit supporting the Bulldogs. Once a TRUE BULLDOG always a Bulldog. Oh yea ALMA SUCKS!!!!!

RDâ„¢

Don't like the new opponent.

Plenty of other options that Greenwood could've looked at and better quality opponents at that.

In Arkansas
-Bentonville Westside
-Van Buren (yes I know they aren't up to par)
-Rogers Heritage
-cough err uhhmm..Pulaski Academy (those games are fun)

In Oklahoma
-Bixby
-Broken Bow
-Oolagah
-Stilwater
-Muskogee

All my personal opinion of course.

I wouldlove to see a GW/PA series.  I know both Jones and Kelley want the best OOC competition they can find.  Why can't we make it happen?

I don't like you. If you knew the work it took that goes into that stream you'd be a little more thankful. Our live stream works great. One small technical deficiency last week and they now have that fixed. Just be thankful we have this.

I've heard legends/rumors/stories/barber shop talk of why it can't happen/logistics....regardless

If we return to 5A

I look forward to the Greenwood / Pulaski Academy battles. That is Chess Match 101 for Headcoaches in Arkansas

At least half of your last statement is true. If you think that Sallisaw, Poteau, Lift for Life are  strong, OOC, character builders....

Surely you're not suggesting that GW is scared of PA?  That's blasphemy!

Seriously, the GW/PA games are always barnbarners.  The 2006 championship game was the best game I've ever seen at any level.  It's the only time I've seen Kelley make a mistake that probably cost him the game.

I'd love to hear Bulldogger15's excuses.

Bigfootdogfan

The PA- GW games aren't over, we will meet up again. Winners playing winners!!!!!!! I look forward to more games like we had with PA, more exciting then the last how many years with ALMA and South Side. Right Bait???? As far as Bulldoger goes we saw what he was all about the last couple of years on here.  A leopard doesn't change his spots. RD as far as our live stream I know most of us are very greatfull for it. I for one know all the work and effort that the crew puts in to make it happen. If it weren't for them I wouldn't get to see many of the 7-8-9-JV and varsity games. Watched our Jr. High game tonight, many good looking athletes on that team. GO BULLDOGS BEAT TEXARKANA .

Let me ask you this PA dad, if Coach Rick Jones calls Coach Kelly and asks him if he wants to play a non-conference game home and away, does Kelly say yes or no?

Absolutely yes.  Kelley loves to test his teams against the best competition he can find.  That's evident from the OOC schedule he's played ( East Salt Lake,  Dallas Highland Park, Chaminade, Memphis University), and the series scheduled with Harber the next two years.

Greenwood is certainly quality competition.  Kelley would agree in a minute.

And I think Jones would too.  I'm puzzled why this hasn't happened.  The PA/GW games have been classics.

Bigfootdogfan

Bait if you want to know why they aren't playing each other then call Jones or Kelly. All we can do is speculate.

My opinion is that the calls to Poteau, Sallisaw, Lift for Life, and Sand Springs instead of PA answers that question.

The only team (HarBer) that beat Greenwood decisively was immediately dropped after the initial two year agreement....

Bigfootdogfan

There you go Bait, speculating again, want to know for sure, make the call.

We're not busom buddies but I can sure get the message to him.  He visits these boards occasionally so he may already have it.

Maybe ol' Bulldogger15 can call them both!  lol!   That would be a conversation worth listening in on!  :)

You don't need his CELL number, you can reach him via Greenwood public schools athletic Dep. 479-996-4142.

I am not thrilled with the OOC selection, but since they didn't ask me I guess my opinion doesn't matter in the grand scheme of the coach and AD doing their jobs. CRJ seems to have an affinity towards the OK schools since he spent so much time there and has lots of connections.

I would have rather seen a Webb City Cardinals or even a PA match-up personally. I trust CRJ knows what's best though.

Terrible name for a team though...Sandite. I guess the "Sea Lice" was trademarked. SMH  :-X

I just spoke to Coach Jones and Coach Kelly. They have no interest in scheduling to play each other again unless it just happens to work out. They both stated something about lightning in a bottle or something to that effect.

Coach Jones and Coach Kelly DID agree to a home and away two match series of mud wrestlin between Baitshop and PA Dad! The first mud wrestlin match is scheduled to take place in Greenwood on the town square at high noon on December 24th, 2017. Coach Jones will be the referee while Coach Kelly serves as the ring announcer. The roles will switch for Jones and Kelly the following year when the mud wrestlin match is held at the Little Rock River Market. Looks like Baitshop and PA Dad have just a few short months to train up for the first of two epic slopfests!

And yes, everyone can consider Christmas IS coming a day earlier this year.
