Kids were visibly shaken and head-down in the second half.

Arkadelphia made 10 teams in a row look just as bad.

Bauxite was winning against Arkadelphia in the 4th quarter 12-10. But lost 24-12. Not hardly the flop Joe T had.

Arkadelphia is the best coached/discipline team I watch this year.

That's a good question. He almost left last year if I recall.

I'm sure he'll stay after the raise he got last year

Bauxite has nothing to do with any of what we were talking about but whatever. To my knowledge no team has ever beaten 4 #1 seeds in a single playoffs, started 0-5 and won 10 in a row and back to back rings. It sucks that in both games that Robinson played in the rain this year they lost both. Both games they couldn't throw the ball, which they want to have offensively split 50/50. It sucks for Osceola also that they were a team that likes to throw the ball, and didn't even have a chance to throw against Booneville. It sucks that these players work their butts off all season just to be rewarded with a Championship game with terrible conditions, in an empty stadium.

That's why they say defense wins championships. Good defense doesn't depend on the weather.

It wasn't the rain that beat Robinson this year, it was Robinson. Since they had beaten the Badgers so convincingly earlier in the year, this Badger team would be no problem the second time around. Even in the newspaper a player stated, "We'll score at will". Problem was "Will" didn't show up. The Badgers, on the other hand, brought it all. Attitude, determination and the running game. Nothing, not even Robinson, was going to beat them. All they had to do was play the game. The last time I saw that attitude was when the legendary John Outlaw coached the Badgers to their ,and his, second state championship in 1987. He was a master of motivation.

Lol. Come on Ryan, what is this garbage? You're a respectable poster and I'm glad to have a joe t guy on here. BUT.

Joe T had immense talent fall in their lap from a team based out of the LRSD. A team that had daddy's determined to have all of them play together at one high school to relive those PH Bucs pee wee domination days. Robinson tried to run the ball but arkadelphia was too good up front. And it wouldn't have mattered rain or shine because arkadelphia had the joe T Qb shook mentally due to being hit multiple times. Then the couple of times the Qb wasn't throwing errant passes, his WR's were dropping balls that hit them right in their belly.

Don't even get me started on the repetitive coaching halftime adjustments. This team on paper should be three time state title holders. But when you start mixing kids from all over town, there is no true cohesion and pride there. Coaching and lack of player mental toughness is what sent Joe T home in 2016, 2017, and 2018.

I must agree with AW
