[chaoslord]

Corner after an injury stoppage, header over. 1-1, 10 to play.

Fred Bird, you've got about the jist of it

[chaoslord]

Keeper comes up to claim a cross and a defender bumps into him, causing him to drop the ball. Dardanelle player is on the scene to drop it in.

Dardanelle 2, Warren 1, 8 to play

[AirWarren]

No! Come on jacks!

[chaoslord]

Dardanelle 2, Warren 1. Final.

CAC had a player sent off and Green Forest down 2 players

[AirWarren]

Congrats on the season jacks. And best of luck to Dardanelle!

[VHSCoach2]

CAC 4, Green Forest 0 - final

[LJ06]

Great win Dardanelle

[SandRattler]

Proud of our Sand Lizards!!!!! Way to win!! Great players and great coaches! Now move on to the next win!

[WPWells]

Congrats to Dardanelle! I think that was probably the state championship

[SandRattler]

I think so. Opposite corner of the field but I could hear "That's two you've missed, do your job." Good early caution for it. Game is gonna be physical enough, the coaches loudly dissenting as such will only raise the temperature.

Warren 1-0, 4 minutes til half

I would hate for a coach to be passionate about his sport and team! A quality team like Dardanelle comes from the passion of the players and the coaches!

[Jack1990]

Great game. It's a shame it had to happen in the second round. These teams should have met in Fayetteville. Dardanelle controlled the ball the entire game. Congratulations Dardanelle.

Still super proud of our Jacks!

You can be passionate without dissenting

Sitting over here watching the girls game and look back. I notice our two teams (Warren and Dardanelle) in a big huddle talking and having a good time. Great display of sportsmanship shown by both teams. Seems like they both respect each other greatly.

That's one thing about soccer that our "home sports" could take a huge lesson from. Sportsmanship and respect for your opponent. If you watch any EPL game on tv, you will see tempers flare but a lot of sportsmanship and respect for one another as an athlete.

A lot of MLB, NFL, NCAA, and NBA players could learn from them.

I saw that too...
by the time we got out on the field to check on the injured JACKS player, several Dardanelle players were attempting to stretch him out to relieve the cramps.

Anyone that witnessed that game witnessed an all out game played by both teams. The better team won today...but if you play that game 10 times, each team would win five. Dardanelle was just better today, and it showed as they controlled the majority of the game.

It is sad that the game was today and not next Friday, but it is what it is. The JACKS will be back strong again next year (as will Dardanelle) as the JACKS only lose three senior starters.

GREAT SEASON, GO JACKS!!!

Oh... the officiating was the BEST we have witnessed all season long! They had control of the game and kept up with the speed on the field... yes, there were a few missed calls on both ends, but nothing that influenced the outcome of the game.

[VHSCoach2]

Mena 2, Cossatot River 1 - final

[sevenof400]

I really haven't seen much of the 4A this year, but I am saddened that Cossatot River did not make the finals as I like saying Cossatot River for some strange reason.....

[WPWells]

I'll take Dardanelle by 3+

[SportsDad]

I'll take Dardanelle by 3+

At least by 3... if not mercy rule.
Without a doubt, Dardanelle and Warren were the best two teams by far this year in 4A...
Mena's only chance is to stack the box and play for a shootout...

Mena's only loss was in a shootout. After watching them play,  you'd be surprised at what they can do.

[The Coach]

Mena's only loss was in a shootout. After watching them play,  you'd be surprised at what they can do.

Mena lost to Dequeen 8-0, and Van Buren 4-0 and Gurdon in a shootout. Dardanelle only has 1 loss on the season thus far.

[Jack1990]

Mena lost to Dequeen 8-0, and Van Buren 4-0 and Gurdon in a shootout. Dardanelle only has 1 loss on the season thus far.

Thanks for that coach...I was thinking to myself how can they be 16-3 with only 1 loss.  Figured someone's data was askew!

[SportsDad]

Mena's only loss was in a shootout. After watching them play,  you'd be surprised at what they can do.

I watched Mena twice at the state tourney...not impressed.
They are a good team, but not on the same level as Dardanelle and Warren...

[faith]

I have watched Mena play, they are not on the same level as Dardanelle.  I think Dardanelle wins by at least 4, no matter how Mena plays!  Congrats to Dardanelle's coaches and players.  Great group of kids and coaches!

[VHSCoach2]

Dardanelle 5 (35' PK, 49', 60', 69', 78'), Mena 0 - final

PK was the result of a trip in the box.

[big slop]

Great job dardanelle boys! You accomplished the goal! Also a big shout out to the mena fan on the front rail during trophy presentation yelling where are their green cards..... Stay classy my friend.....

[chaoslord]

Probably the same guy yelling "The better team won but you referees don't deserve a state final." Haha.

Fun game. Those kids made me run my little tail off.

[KCShinn21]

Great job dardanelle boys! You accomplished the goal! Also a big shout out to the mena fan on the front rail during trophy presentation yelling where are their green cards..... Stay classy my friend.....

You have got to be kidding? Please tell me it was a kid who has the chance to grow up and not an adult.

[big slop]

Oh no....full on adult. Dardanelle kids laughed him off because we won and we are classy.

[SportsDad]

Great win for Dardanelle...
As a Warren fan, I said all year that the two best teams in 4A were Warren and Dardanelle, and they both proved it.

I watched the game and could tell in the first five minutes that Mena just couldn't keep up. Again, Mena has a good team for Class 4A....but both Dardanelle and Warren proved all season long that they could compete and win in any classification.

Looking forward to another great year next year!

[Romeo]

The quarterfinal game between Dardanelle and Warren was the real state title game. Just like it was in 2014 when they played in the semi-finals.
