Title: 2018 8-2A
Post by: SOUTHARK99 on May 25, 2018, 04:18:29 pm
JC has to be the preseason #1
Fordyce only lost to Hampton by 1 last year and played a freshman at QB
Hampton has the talent to be in the one spot but no leadership
PC
Bearden
Strong
Woodlawn

I went to the team camp. Woodlawn, Poyen, and MC came to Hampton. Hampton really had their way with all the teams. MC had a kid hurt (maybe a broken arm) I hated to see that hope he gets back at it soon. I think Hampton will be tough this year.

How are numbers looking for each team? Fordyce has 30. I feel like that's kind of low for a team coming down from 3A.

You and I will probably both find out what our teams are gonna look like after we play each other week #1.  CHG lost a lot of senior leadership, but there's still a lot of talent there who want to start out well for their new coaching staff.  I think it's gonna be a good matchup.

Looks like we are down to six teams in the conference. I guess the schedules are already set for this year. Does anyone know if there is a possibility of realigning the conference with the addition of maybe a team from the 7 . Don't they have 8 teams?

This reached the tipping point about three years ago for the 8. If the AAA hasn't addressed it by now, without pressure from the schools, this will continue. It would be interesting to see just how much these cancellations are costing the schools, that are idle on scheduled game nights in lost revenue. I know that some are bridging the gap with fill in games, but we are seeing open weeks as a result too. Thinning the heard, and a major reclassification is overdue.

my understanding is that Woodlawn and Hermitage will both play 8 man.  Who knows what Strong will do at this point.  Been saying for 2 years now that the AAA should step in and move a team or two to make it easier for everyone to fill their schedule.  Instead they just make it harder for schools to fill the dates.  typical.
Title: Re: 2018 8-2A
Post by: HG Hornet on June 19, 2018, 08:36:20 am
Maybe I should be careful what I wish for, but I'm glad CHG is back in 3A.  We were lucky that we played Woodlawn last year before they folded, but we never did get to play Hermitage, unless you wanna count Hampton in 2016.  :)

That's two more games that we, as parents, could have seen our kids play in.  Now that mine has graduated, I wish I had those two games to go to and cheer for my boy.  I'll still be there to support the Hornets, but it won't be the same for me.

I'm looking forward to seeing the Hornets play some new teams this year and I'm glad there will be no holes in the schedule.

Title: Re: 2018 8-2A
Post by: HG Hornet on June 19, 2018, 12:39:26 pm
Maybe they need to schedule a home and away game, both counting as conference games.  It would have to be done early, but it seems like (for example) Bearden could be scheduled to play Hampton twice this year, PC twice next year, Fordyce twice the next year, etc.  Probably too complicated and whoever the powerhouse is......you wouldn't want them twice compared to whoever the weak team is......you would want them both times. 

The problem I see is that those schools who may or may not field a team just don't really know for sure until summer numbers are in and we all know schedules are done way before then.

You would have to think the 7 would be in the conversation with Forman and Ida.

I think they should move Springhill into the football conference. We play them in baseball softball as conference games and then whatever you want to call it with the way the AAA has basketball messed up now.we don't play them all year but we are in the same conference.

If you're asking me, I don't think so.  You can't blame them in 2017 because you had the 2016 State Runner Up in Hampton, 2016 Semifinalist in CHG, plus the always tough Rison & Bearden.  This year, two of those are gone to 3A replaced by Fordyce & Junction City, who no one really knows about.  Hampton will be pretty good and Bearden should be decent, but I don't think the 8 will get quite the attention.

This cycle should not be a problem.  With Episcopal dropping, those SE 3A schools all have openings.  Augusta may drop, opens up some stuff in the district with Marked Tree.  The 8 can fill their openings this cycle. 

Obviously, this doesn't hurt the 8's strength at all.  Two bottom feeders gone.  Strong is at least athletic enough to be competitive.  Will still be a tough league.

Adding LC and SH for football could take up some slack and they would probaly take that "whipping boy" place of woodlawn and the hermits. But i know a few of the people and coaches from both schools and they dont like being in that conference for spring sports. For the travel, it just doesn't make any sense that two schools in deep south west arkansas (both schools are 30minuets away from texas) have to travel and play teams that are dang near in the delta. If rison and camden HG will stay put in 2A for a little while longer would also help.

Gurdon, and Poyen are teams i would look to add.

Poyen is 1 hr 13 min from Bearden

Gurdon is 1 hr 11 min from bearden.


SH is 1hr 25 minuets from Bearden
LC is 1hr 37 minuets from Bearden

im sure you are referring to the Monta Thomas situation. He was in a town that could barely field a football team. He was not going to win in that situation so he did what was best for his career and moved to Hampton. So I guess no one on this site has ever done that?

One thing that I know for a fact is that a lot of these kids know and interact with each other.  CF kids and CHG kids are always trying the "come play with us" thing, but it rarely happens.  Several CHG kids tried for years to get Tyler Berry to leave Bearden and last year just about this time of summer, there was some talk between some Hornets and Tyrek Rucks from Smackover.  He chose El Dorado and Berry chose to stay with the Bears.  To my knowledge, the actual coaches of these schools never got involved......it was all the kids wanting to add good players and help their team win. 

We had a good team last year, but if Tyler Berry and Tyrek Rucks had moved in we might have reached the pinnacle.

Berry and Rucks never came to CHG, but one CF kid did, and tried to enroll, but was deemed ineligible and was told he wouldn't be able to play so he went back to CF and played there.  Must have gone to summer school or took some online classes.  CHG did what they did with their players.  All I was saying is the kids know each other and tried to get their friends to come play with them; our coaches never had anything to do with those conversations.  Other schools may be different, though.

and the fact CHG played by the rules is the difference in you getting destroyed by Mount Ida and you hanging a banner in your gym. Cuddos to CHG for picking the right way to do things.

CHG getting destroyed by Mount Ida
What game did you watch?  "Destroyed" makes me think of a score like 61-6 or 56-22.  Not taking anything away from Mt. Ida, but a 7 point game gets pushed to a 13 point game late in the 4th quarter.......two years in a row......is not exactly our boys getting destroyed.  I choose to use "defeated by Mt. Ida" when the subject comes up, but yes they did beat us in the final four two years in a row. 

Did they cost us a championship banner???  I wouldn't exactly say that, although CHG vs Hampton in 2016 and CHG vs Foreman in 2017 would have been good matchups for us.  Speed on the outside is what we were fairly good at stopping.  Mt. Ida's pounding up the middle was exactly what we weren't good at stopping.  I wish I knew how many 4th downs we forced them into in those two games, but unfortunately for us Ida converted most of them into 1st downs and the rest is history.

Destroyed?  Nope.

I didn't see the game. I just heard Mt Ida had its way with CHG. The game never was in any real jeopardy for them. They never felt as if they were going to lose. I see what you did with your scores there 61-6 and 56-22 that was a clever move unfortunately I'm not one who really cares about outcomes since I don't have a hand in the outcome. My school lost is what I see. If it's by 50 are if it's by 5 a loss is a loss.

Ida did not "have their way" with us.  We played them a good game, both years, and missed out on a couple of scoring opportunities in both games that would have made the games closer at the end.  My son says "it is what it is" and that's about the only way for us Hornet fans to look at it.  Mt. Ida outscored us both games and went on to War Memorial Stadium.

We're not in the 2A anymore and Mt. Ida isn't in the 2A-8 so I'm out on this.  I'll let the others go back and forth about the 2A-8.  Personally, I'm hoping Garrett McWhorter, Cohen Word, and the rest of the Bearden Bears take it this year since there's no way for us to repeat and defend last year's 2A-8 championship.  We do open with JC, Bearden, and Fordyce this year so we do have a chance to play 3 of the 4 better teams in the 8.

After escaping recruiting violations in 2016 I believe Hampton is like the Clintons, nothing is gonna stick to them. I'm sure they will dodge any allegations of wrong doings. You know, the more I think about it the more they have in common. When Hillary lost it was the Russian's fault and when Hampton lost it was the ref's fault. Alright, I took my turn stirring the pot. Whose next.  ;D

Last I had heard is one of the schools in the conference turned Hampton in on accident. Kid came wanted to play and explained his situation and when the school called and explained said situation to aaa to see if he would be eligible this season it made Hampton look as if they played an ineligible last season. Never heard them mention what school it involved though

worm don't start just because Hampton put England out in the semis 2 years ago don't mean they are cheaters. If it has not been proved that what y'all are saying is true then its just speculation and its time to more on. If Hampton is found guilty this go around they you may have a case but until then you have no case.

now with that out of the way if Hampton is found guilty then they should be forced to forfeit all of their games form last year. I myself hope its ture and they dont get to play a down this year. (the kids that are not suspose to be playing) Ables needs to learn to have some respect for that town and those players. he is making Hampton the laughing stock of the state.

Don't bring CHG into your list of whiners.  Go back and reread what I posted.  No whining.  Hornets blew a 14 point lead in '16 to the Dawgs, but you guys needed that win for your coach who had passed away that week.  No Hornets made excuses for blowing the lead.  They used it as motivation for '17 when they knew they would have to earn a hard fought win in Hampton......and they earned it 53-14 and quieted the boom cannon by the end of the first quarter.  BOOM CHICKA BOOM

Wesley ain't doing anything no one else is.He is just not good at keeping it in house is all.Every coach that has ever been successful has cut a coner or two.Monta Thomas situation bettered his life he was so far behind in school when he got to Hampton it was almost sad.Monta is now playing at a Jr college in Kansas. With interest from wake Forest and Duke.So you will here the name somewhere next season on Saturdays.If you want to call that Wesley messing up his life that's fine,I call that giving a young man and opportunity to have a life and further his playing career.

If I hear something football related I'm going to bring it to this board to have it proven or disproven. From the second and third hand info I've gathered the kid was ineligible. Maybe Hampton had all their i's dotted and t's crossed. If you could provide some insight to the matter that would be great if not then move along. I also heard the Martinez brothers moved anyone care to verify that or should I not bring that up since idk it to be fact?

My opinion is the coach is more worried about the name on the back of the jersey and not the one that matters... which is on the front! Play the best no matter what their last name is. This is a problem that is becoming very obvious in bulldog country.

I love how you associate a whole town off of a few guys that post on a website. Yea there are some trashy people in Hampton just as there is trashy people any other town you visit in the world. So how about we keep this related to football and not towns!

Harmony grove was better last year with that sr class .. Hampton and HG are pretty equal.. which now they will get better before conference starts.

CHG was very competitive the last three years and a lot of it was because of last year's senior class, but there are more very good players still on the roster.  Last night, I saw several 10th graders make nice plays and get their names called.  This year's senior class has plenty of playmakers on both sides of the ball.  Coach Horstkamp has lots of options available to him.

What I saw last night would not leave me with the feeling that both teams are pretty equal.  I think the Hornets are gonna be fine.......am I predicting an undefeated season?  No.  I think if I were a Bulldog fan, I might be a bit worried about the inability to score, 15 yard penalties, and turnovers.  Hampton got in and sacked our QB a few times, but other than that it was pretty much all in the Hornet's favor.
