[Yellowcake]

I am going to give it a shot now...
PA
Sylvan Hills
Lakeside
LR Christian

Lakeside

Wow, no team from the East?

I suppose this is theoretically possible although I haven't looked at the brackets to see.  But, I think Batesville/Wynne/Hope/Morrilton/Blytheville are all in the picture.

[Yellowcake]

I haven't seen the brackets either, but I believe PA and SH will be on opposite sides and whichever way, one will be playing an undefeated Lakeside and the other an undefeated LRC in the semis.

[Austin.Sutton]

1. Pa
2. Batesville
3. LRC
4. Blytheville

[Chief_Osceola™]

I'm pretty confident in saying PA and LRC will be playing after Thanksgiving. I also don't think it's a stretch to include Hope or Lakeside in that mix as well.

[Chief-Chickasaw]

1. Pa
2. Batesville
3. LRC
4. Blytheville

I think this would make me the happiest I've been since the birth of my son. lol. I'll take a Blytheville trip to the semifinals.

[MDXPHD]

PA, Batesville, LRC, Lakeside

I haven't looked at the bracket, but will WC/Hope/Hot Springs (whoever finishes 2/3) all be in the mix with PA and LRC on that side? If so, that will be a rough half of the bracket.

[WPWells]

PA and LRCA
Lakeside and ?

[PA Dad]

PA, Batesville, LRC, Lakeside

I haven't looked at the bracket, but will WC/Hope/Hot Springs (whoever finishes 2/3) all be in the mix with PA and LRC on that side? If so, that will be a rough half of the bracket.

I guess we all need to look at the brackets.  I don't know the answer, but I do know that if PA and LRC are No. 1. Seeds and win out they will meet in the semis.

[MDXPHD]

That should put the south 2/3 in your half of the bracket as well. That will be a good bracket with lrc, pa, and 2 of the following: hope/lakeside/Watson chapel/hot springs

That half of the bracket will be much tougher than the other half I think.

[PA Dad]

You're right - that will be a heck of a bracket.  But, I'm beginning to doubt that Hot Springs will make the playoffs.  They were pounded tonight by DQ.

[RamFan06]

Camden Fairview could get that 4 spot.

[PA Dad]

Camden Fairview could get that 4 spot.

About anything is possible in the South this year.  It is by far the most interesting conference.  But CF seems to be really down this year, at least if you believe the CF posters.

[RamFan06]

They could still end up with 4 confirm wins. Aso much as the CF guys like to bash, they are 2-1 with Hot Springs and De Queen left.

[PA Dad]

PA
LRCA
Batesville
Hope

It's a close call between Batesville/Wynne and Lakeside/Hope.  But Hope just seems to be a team of destiny after the win tonight.  And while Wynne is getting stronger I think they need a little more time with the new offense.

[The Future]

This is the bracket on max preps

W1
C4

E2
S3

C1
W4

S2
E3

S1
E4

C2
W3

E1
S4

W2
C3

Let the pencil ins begin. Only one you can pen in is PA for C1

[Temprees]

They could still end up with 4 confirm wins. Aso much as the CF guys like to bash, they are 2-1 with Hot Springs and De Queen left.

CF also still has to play away games at Hope and at WC.

[futurebobcatdad]

C1 PA
W1 LRCA
S1 HOPE
W2 MORRILTON

[PA Dad]

C1 PA
W1 LRCA
S1 HOPE
W2 MORRILTON

The East ain't getting much respect.

[Overdahill]

I think its going to be all #1 seeds:

PA, LRCA, Lakeside, Batesville.

Too early to call a final (opportunity for crow dinner) but a best of 3 game with Batesville at WM would be cool

[futurebobcatdad]

What is your reasoning for thinking all 1 seeds will be there?

[Intelligentsia]

What is your reasoning for thinking all 1 seeds will be there?

You're  surely not serious?

[futurebobcatdad]

8 would not have asked if i was not serious

[Overdahill]

Because I believe they are the four best teams and the best teams should be expected to win plus they will have home field advantage

[incogneto]

Sylvan Hills
Morrilton
LRCA
PA

[Intelligentsia]

What is your reasoning for thinking all 1 seeds will be there?

Tempted, but I'll say no more.

[futurebobcatdad]

So u believe SH nor Hope will make it 2 the semi

[MDXPHD]

So u believe SH nor Hope will make it 2 the semi

I don't think either of them will be there.

[PA Dad]

You are a gentleman.

[Intelligentsia]

You are a gentleman.

You've set a high standard for FF posting decorum, to which I aspire.  While I falter too often, I'm taking the high  road, for now.

[futurebobcatdad]

So u believe SH nor Hope will make it 2 the semi

I don't think either of them will be there.

I take it you have not saw either team play either. I keep forgetting you guys gave us no respect 2 years ago either till we knocked off Camden and kept a rolling. After friday dont fall on ya faces to hard!

Hmmmmm!!!!!!!!

[PA Dad]

PA

Let me respectfully disagree.  While PA is no doubt good they are not invincible.  I think LRCA, Batesville, Wynne, Hope, Lakeside and SH all have a shot at beating PA if they play well and limit their mistakes.

This coming from a team that shouldn't have won last week...that vaunted defense was solid huh?

[RamFan06]

PA Dad I agree. While I have not seen Hope or LRCA play yet, I can say I feel PA could get knocked off by either if those two as well as Lakeside and Sylvan Hills. PA has been dominant but not unbeatable.

Here are my final four after looking at the bracket.

LRCA
Hope
Lakeside
Batesville

I know this flies in the face of everyone anointing PA from day 1 but I like to believe, "On any given Friday night...."

[Overdahill]

BATESVILLE
Doesn't matter
Doesn't matter
Doesn't matter

Let me respectfully disagree.  While PA is no doubt good they are not invincible.  I think LRCA, Batesville, Wynne, Hope, Lakeside and SH all have a shot at beating PA if they play well and limit their mistakes.

Very True! I think we need to be very clear that Batesville is the favorite and get PA out of the crosshairs

I like it!  But to please Futurebobcatdad maybe we should make Hope the favorite!

[MDXPHD]

Hope is definitely the favorite. Without a doubt.

[futurebobcatdad]

I don't think either of them will be there.

if we shouldnt have won we would not have won. we turned the ball over 4 times on our end of the field. they did what a good time should do is turn it into points.  Our team didnt give up and played with heart so u cant possibly say we shouldnt have won. I guess PA shouldnt havent beat Wynne either then. Wynne turned it over pa turned it into points.Pa is the master of the onside kick

if any team turn the ball over on their on end of the field against a team as good as WC will get scored on.

[futurebobcatdad]

Thanks for the complement but i never said we were the favorite because i believe to be the man u have to beat the man. So until someone knocks off PA they are the top DOGS in 5A.

McClellan over Batesville?  I'd be extremely surprised by that!

[The_Pioneer]

He's hoping....

[Burks]

McCellan is playing good football, I would not be surprised if the Lions beat Bastesville. I think the East and Bastesville is overrated.

[PA Dad]

I'd love to see the Central conference dominate the playoffs.  I agree that McClellan is playing well.  But I don't think the East or Batesville is overrated.  Batesville has proved that it is good over a number of years.  I don't think this year will be any different.

I was shock also when I check it
But until all set for real you will never know how far team will go

[Burks]

My opinion the East is down this season, this not one of Batesville best teams, Wynne was hit to hard by graduation. I don't expect anything from the rest.. I think the Central is proving to be the toughest conference. Sylvan Hills and McClellan will be tough outs and don't sleep on Beebe either, the Badgers always seem to peak about playoff time. Of course we all know PA.
