2014 Class 4A Predictions

[Big Fan]

IMO life being mean is not a bad thing.  I'm a firm believer in failing!   In order to truely know how to be successfull, win, succeed at life, etc... you must first learn how to lose, get rejected, etc in order to appreciate winning in anything. You develop or learn very important life lessons when you are beat down and have your back against a wall.  Some rise up and some dont.  Thats life.  That is one reason i believe sports in general is extremely important for youth.  Their are so many lessons in life to be taught on the grid iron, basketball court, etc that aren't taught anywhere else in a childs up bringing.

True....which is why one of my favorite quotes by William Arthur Ward is in my sig below. 

[AirWarren]

My dad was always honest with me. You act like a bum, perform like a bum, get grades like a bum...you will be a bum.

Instinctively, the lessons he has taught me easily swayed me from being a bum and helped me learn to detest a bum.

You perform like a D or F student or athlete, then guess what...you probably are one. Not everyone deserves a ribbon or a trophy. 

[Jacketman65]

Amen Oldschool as well as AW!  Sometimes failure is a bitter pill to swallow, but we all have to do it sooner or later.  The biggest problem is that parents don't want their kids to deal with it, so it is one excuse after another from the parents and here we are with a bunch of spoiled kids!

[SUGARTOWN]

Looks like this thread turned into a parenting forum....

Btw AW, did your dad teach you to run and hide when things don't go your way or did you learn that all on your own?

[SUGARTOWN]

Since this thread is supposed to be about predictions I'll throw mine out there soon. I'm on my way back from Mexico so I'll need a day or two to get in a football state of mind.

+1 sugar. Glad you said it in stead of me so he can see it. You know, he hides and blocks those who are mean to him instead of facing them.....

Not as mean as grading some of these posters.

Who does that?

*Attempt to put this thread back on the tracks*

I'm suprised to see DWay with so much credit. Not that the formula for a classic cardinal isn't set well but the fact that the team was so good because of the smart athlete QB in Liddell. Again I really don't think the replacement will be ready for this year and its going to hurt in the big matchups. The running game will keeo them competitive but I don't think its good enough for a share of the confrence title.

I agree.  Dway returns a solid line and a few skill position players, but losing Liddell will be hard to replace.  I think they are a top 10 team, but will be hard pressed to win the 8-4A.  It would be a good year for them to be back in the 2-4A. 

[SUGARTOWN]

Playoff projections:

1-4A
1. Prairie Grove
2. Shiloh
3. Gravette
4. Pea Ridge
5. Lincoln
PG is still the top here until they get dethroned, Shiloh is the only one with enough to do it.

2-4A
1. Newport
2. Helena-WH
3. Lonoke
4. Stuttgart
5. CAC
Newport will be challenged for the top spot by H-WH and they have to play that game at Helena.

3-4A
1. Highland
2. Gosnell
3. Cave City
4. Pocahontas
5. Jonesboro West.
Highland is the easy choice for #1 here.

4-4A
1. Dardanelle
2. P. Robinson
3. Clinton
4. Pottsville
5. Ozark
Dardanelle SHOULD win the conference, but don't sleep on P. Robinson...

7-4A
1. Malvern
2. Nashville
3. Arkadelphia
4. Ashdown
5. Mena
Malvern and Nashville could easily flip-flop, that game being at Nash. could be the difference, but I'm going with the Leopards.

8-4A
1. Star City
2. Warren
3. Dollarway
4. Hamburg
5. Monticello
Tough call between Warren and D-Way, both have to replace QB's and the Cards have the most speed in the conference.

I assume #2 should be Robinson and not Pea Ridge.  Everything else looked good. 

[SUGARTOWN]

Yeah, I wrote down PR and goofed when I entered it. It's correct now.

[LJ06]

I agree with you on Pulaski Robinson. They could sneak up on Dardanelle this year if the Lizards aren't careful.
