The Final 4

[AirWarren]

Congrats to all teams.


It's time for these kids to buckle those chin straps a little tighter.

[Lumberjackfan1978]

Yep I expect PG to be very good next week.i think their running game will be hard to deal with

[Oldbadger]

I would have never thunk it!  No 7-4A team in the finals!  And three 1-4A teams.  Way to go 1-4A!  I have always known some very good football was played up there!

[prHOG13]

glad our boys are back for the 2nd consecutive year. The Pea Ridge/Shiloh rivalry is going to be as intense as its ever been, with the winner going to War Memorial. These (for the most part) same group of kids have been battling each other since PeeWee.

The PG/Warren matchup will be an epic battle of two extremely physical teams. Disney against Burks is going to be an incredible matchup. Disney plays the ball better than almost any CB I've seen in the 4A in years, and Burks is an SEC talent and as good of a playmaker as there is in the state. I honestly don't know who to take in that one

[SCRAPYARD]

Congrats to the final four! All deserving.

[FBfan79]

The 1-4A definitely opened some eyes this year.  Some very good teams.

[SCRAPYARD]

Has PR or PG ever won state?

[THE D.O.C]

WOW 4A football will be played in NWA exclusively next week.

I like our chances

I like our chances

Gosnell had over 400 yards of offense against PG. I like our chances too

Warren barely mustered 150 on Robinson.

[Jack1990]

Waiting to get a look at the stats from the game.

[LJ06]

Warren barely mustered 150 on Robinson.

Warren had 110 off of two TD passes alone lol.

[AirWarren]

Warren had 110 off of two TD passes alone lol.

Shhhhhh haha

[beach bum]

Gosnell had over 400 yards of offense against PG. I like our chances too

A lot of that was because Prairie Grove put in its 2nd team defense with 19 minutes left in the game when it was 48-12.... But the most alarming thing is the WR for Gosnell got going all night. I assume Warren has tall WR's so yes that could cause an issue.

You know it's tough for AW to gauge yardage watching from his recliner! Lol

[beach bum]

I did that with a giant plate off Thanksgiving leftovers last night... Multi tasked the best I could.

Haha.

Ah makes sense. I was a little worried there for PG because Gosnell isn't that great. Good, but not great.

[LJ06]

Haha.

I need a toddy my voice is shot officially this morning haha

[AirWarren]

I need a toddy my voice is shot officially this morning haha

I need to listen to the broadcast. I had to have it on mute last night.

[beach bum]

If your line protects the QB you will score plenty though. At that point PG will have to match it or it could get into Warren's favor on Friday. PG likes to blitz spread teams so we will see...

[Superjack45]

yours too huh?

Everybody has been doing that to us. Robinson did it plenty last night.

I'm disappointed man cmon

[Romeo]

Warren stinks bad. Not only will we be lucky to field a team on Friday, we probably won't make it to Prairie Grove. This is the team bus.

[Jack1990]

Glad to see we've finally upgraded from the old run down bus we had been using.

[polksalet]

Warren vs the 1-4A

Basically the hulk vs the three stooges.

[AirWarren]

I'm disappointed man cmon

We had a family deal. Took what I could get ha.

[STUNNA]

Basically the hulk vs the three stooges.

lol

[livingwithcause]

Gosnell had over 400 yards of offense against PG. I like our chances too

Gosnell had 398 yards. And of that came against the 2nd/3rd string Defense in the last quarter and a half.

Doesn't matter. Gosnell was the weakest team left. Prairie Grove hasn't played any competition in the playoffs. Will be interesting Friday night.

[JoshuaRug13]

Congrats to all the teams...of all 4 between

Prairie Grove

Warren

Pea Ridge

Shiloh Christian

It seems that Pea Ridge has had the most improbable run of the 4.  With a major upset of Nashville, a comeback against Arky and a nice game against Hamburg, PR has had a wild run to the Semis.  Should be another great game between two bitter rivals in Shiloh and Pea Ridge...

[AirWarren]

Yeah, this is a gimme game for the 1-4a.

[prHOG13]

wonder if this is the first time 3 teams from the same conference have made it to the semifinals? Couldn't find any more than two from the same conference.

[SCRAPYARD]

Has PR or PG ever won state?

Well?

[prHOG13]

Well?

PR hasn't. I think PG has went to a final or two, but has never won one. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

[AirWarren]

Warren stinks bad. Not only will we be lucky to field a team on Friday, we probably won't make it to Prairie Grove. This is the team bus.

I donated that to them.

[Lions84]

Go Warren

[Hoghead2]

I'm going with the Original Orange & Black Axe Air Lumberjacks !!!!

[beach bum]

PR hasn't. I think PG has went to a final or two, but has never won one. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

That is correct. Prairie Grove was the perennial doormat until Abshier showed up in the mid 90's. They have made I think 5 semi finals now under him? It might be 6 and just one state runner up. The semifinals have not by friendly to PG.

yeah thats what I was thinking. Pea Ridge had a few decent teams in the 80's that made some noise in the playoffs, but other than that was also a doormat program for the most part as well until 2012. Since then they've won 10+ games in 3 of 4 seasons, and will be a top 2 team in the conference for another 3-4 years with the talent coming up. PG has averaged almost 11 wins per season during that same span. Hope this is the year one of us finally breaks through and brings a title to NWA

[GHS_08]

Gosnell had over 400 yards of offense against PG. I like our chances too

If Gosnell didn't shoot themselves in the foot in the last 5 minutes of the first half it might have been a better game. We couldn't stop PG but we were moving the ball on them. We scored with 5:13 left in the first half to make it 20-12. Coach tried an onside kick and we got a personal foul for hitting the guy too high. They got the ball at our 39 yard line and got a quick score. We get the ball back and go for it on 4th down from our own 49 and didn't get it. They get the ball again with 2+ minutes and punch it in again. Went from a 1 TD deficit to 3 TDs because of those plays. Killed our momentum.

[Jacketman65]

PG is no longer a doormat!  The program has been getting better every year.  Is this year their year, I don't know, but it could be!  Don't cut them short!

[Lumberjackfan1978]

PG is definitely a good team

[$aintMaximu$]

I played against Pea Ridge in the  mid to late 90's and they were always tough....  The doormat was Decatur and then probably Cedarville... Pea Ridge was always pretty tough but today's Pea Ridge is not comparable in any way to back then...

With the way PR dominated Nashville the entire game, was it really an upset?  It seems like PR was simply a better football team.  I have them picked to win it all.  They seem to be on a roll right now.

Yes, it was an upset.
