4-4a jugger not

[Gray lizard]

I think we all knew this might be a strange year for the 4-4A, but this is worse than I thought.

Boonville             2-1
Dover                 2-1
Dardanelle          2-1
Ozark                 2-1
Waldron              2-1
Pottsville             1-2
West Fork           1-2
Subiaco              0-3

Here is how I see it form here.
Subiaco wins no more games 0-7.
West Fork wins no more games 1-7
Ozark Wins 1 more game 3-5.
Waldron wins 1 more game 3-5
Pottsville wins 3 more games with a loss this week to Dover 4-4.
Booneville wins 3 more games with loss to Dardanelle 5-2.
Dardanelle wins 4 more games 6-1.
Dover wins 4 more games 6-1.

This will put Dover at the #1 spot. Dardanelle #2.  Booneville #3. Pottsville #4. and Ozark puts Waldron out for #5.

Bold prediction. You have Ozark losing to West Fork this week. Interesting!

[OLDSCHOOL82]

I don't see it falling out exactly as you.  But hey, you have your opinion.  Are you sure you meant to say Ozark would lose to west fork?  Don't really see that happening.  But, if it does, that place will completely implode.

[Gray lizard]

No you are correct I missed that one.

[Lacerta agilis]

I haven't got to watch every team yet, but it sure looks like outside of West Fork and Subi, any team can beat any team on any given Friday night. I wouldn't even attempt to predict how this thing will play out. And I'll book that West Fork over Ozark prediction. I'll even give points!

[bulldoghistorian]

No doubt tbp system will be used at the end of the year lol! Should be fun to try to figure this out!

[TurfToe]

It is indeed a gigantic mess with no clear conference powerhouse yet. I, too, agree that any team can win on any given Friday night, with the exception of West Fork and Subiaco.

As far as talent goes, it seems that most of the teams are very equal. The wins are coming from executing better and making less mistakes than the opponent. Ozark could easily be a one loss team right now without all of the mistakes. Missed extra point cost them the Gravette game. INT and blocked punt were the difference in the Booneville game. I am by no means saying Ozark is great, or even good, but they have been their own worst enemy so far this season.

Ozark could easily pull off some upsets, like Waldron did against Pottsville, but I just don't think they are as disciplined as a Coach May team.....Waldron at Booneville this week might clear some things up though. Should be an interesting game.

Predictions on finishing???

Could be Lizards, Bearcats, Pirates, Hillbillies, Apaches or Bulldogs???

I'm gonna go with the following:

1...Dardanelle 6-1
2...Booneville 5-2 (Tiebreaker over Ozark)
3...Ozark 5-2
4...Pottsville 4-3 (Tiebreaker over Dover)
5...Dover 4-3
6...Waldron 3-4
7...West Fork 1-6
8...Subiaco 0-7

The #1 & #2 could easily flip after Week #8.  The Booneville @ Dardanelle game should be for all the marbles!

So you have Dover with losses to Pottsville and Ozark?
Are you aware of possible injury to running back and player ejection for Pottsville? 
If they don't have those two boys I just do not see a win Friday.

So you have Dover losing two more games. Who are those losses to?  Just curious.
By the way Dover plays the worst game of the year and loses by 7 and now everyone puts them at the 5th seed. Very interesting. Continue I find this amusing.

Not exactly how I see it shaking out but many things can happen.  We will have a fairly clear picture after week 8.

Unless I missed something, the only way his numbers work is Dover losing to Pottsville and Ozark.

DARD played their worst game of the season vs Dover to allow Dover to beat them. It happens and the top 4-5 in this conference are all pretty close so Dover could easily lose another maybe 2.

[3 Dollar]

Just predictions!

Even those will change from week to week!

I am by no means an expert on predictions.  Why, just look at the pick 'em contests!

Are you aware that this is high school football?

[marine]

I think Dover will finish strong and have a 6-1 conf record. The thing that worries me is i feel like Booneville can knock off Dardanelle. Which could lead to Booneville winning Conf. But those are just my thoughts.

[OLDSCHOOL82]

Don't let it worry you.  It's gonna be ok!!  That's the weird thing about this year without a team that is heads and tails above everyone in conference.

[Lumberjackfan1978]

I think Dover will still finish strong much better than a 5th seed

[Redskin2015]

1 dardnelle 6-1
2 Booneville  5-2 tie breaker over Pottsville. Loss too dardnelle
3 pottsville 5-2
4 Dover 4-3 tie breaker over Waldron. Losses too Pottsville and Waldron
5 waldron 4-3
6 ozark 3-4 rest of match ups not favorable for the hillbillies
7 west fork 1-6
8 subiaco academy 0-7

Do not understand how tie brake works.  I would think Pottsville would be ahead of Booneville in this case. Due to head up loss to Pottsville.

[PiratePride03]

Lol he says Dover will lose to Pottsville and Waldron too,  but still has Dover ahead of Waldron.   

[Redskin2015]

They're called tie breakers sir

[Sigmund Sauer]

They're called tie breakers sir

But if Dover loses to Waldron, as you say (they wont) wouldn't the tie breaker go to Waldron, or does the victory over Dardy trump that?

[PrivateLesson]

All these high priced speculations!!!    Woooo.  lol

[bulldoghistorian]

If Pottsville and Booneville end up in a 2 team tie at the end of the year, Pottsville would be the higher seed since they beat Booneville  head to head.

[bulldoghistorian]

Same thing with Dover and Waldron. If they end up in a 2 team tie, the winner of that game would get the higher seed.

[OLDSCHOOL82]

Remaining 3 games for top 6 and my predictions. (OUT OF ORDER BUT ADJUSTED FROM LAST WEEKS POST)

Booneville
-@ Dardy, @ Westfork, Subi......3-0 in final 3.  GETTING STRONGER EACH WEEK.  HUGE GAME THIS WEEK.

Dover
-West fork, Waldron, @ Ozark.....3-0 in final 3. WALDRON AND OZARK COULD CAUSE THEM FITS.  DEPENDS ON IF THEY HAVE THROWN IN THE TOWEL.

Dardy
-Booneville, Ozark, @ Waldron.....2-1 in final 3.  LOSS TO BVL.

Ozark
-Pottsville, @ Dardy, Dover....0-3 in final 3.  TIED FOR 1ST AT THE MOMENT.  UNFORTUNATELY, NOW THEY HAVE THE HARD GAMES.

Waldron
-Subi, @ Dover, Dardy...... 1-2 in final 3. HOPE THEY CAN STIR UP SOME TROUBLE IN WEEK 9/10.

Pottsville
-@ Ozark, @Subi, Westfork...... 3-0 in final 3.  SMOOTH SAILING.  EVEN THOUGH SEVERAL HAVE THE HILLBILLIES PICKED.

[Redskin2015]

It'll come down to points and Dover will play the better teams such as Booneville etc. better than Waldron will

[Lacerta agilis]

See bulldog's posts above. I think you still don't get it.

[OLDSCHOOL82]

^ I agree LA.  Tiebreakers aren't to difficult to figure out.

[Redskin2015]

That's not necessarily how it works out every time point systems come into play quite often in ties

[Lacerta agilis]

Not if it's 2 teams tied. You go by head to head. Period. Booneville is the only team that totally controls it's own destiny of being the #1 seed.

[Redskin2015]

Ok I was not aware of that I had Waldron beating Dover and losing to dardnelle so I thought since Dover had beaten dardnelle it went to points in that case

[PiratePride03]

There's your problem right there.   Waldron has no chance in Dover.   Problem solved lol.  And Booneville is gonna have to play perfect and hope Dardy makes a few mistakes, to beat them lizards.  Possible,  but highly doubtful.

[OLDSCHOOL82]

^ Kind of like Waldron had no chance against Pottsville?  Weird things happen when highschool kids are involved.

[PiratePride03]

That's true.  I could be wrong,  but I just don't see a loss there.  Maybe Pottsville,  but hopefully not.

[the green moose]

The Moose counted 30 dressed out players for Ozark. Isn't that an unusually small team for Ozark?

[Lacerta agilis]

5...Dover 4-3
6...Waldron 3-4
7...West Fork 1-6
8...Subiaco 0-7

The #1 & #2 could easily flip after Week #8.  The Booneville @ Dardanelle game should be for all the marbles!

Definitely could be. Booneville can sew it up with a W, Dardanelle would still have some work to do week 9 and 10 with a W.

[beach bum]

The loser of Waldron vs Dover is going to be the odd team out in the playoff picture.....

Well, B&S!  Was just wondering if you still find this amusing?

[StevenGlen]

My Finish prediction:
1. Ozark at 6-1 (yes I'm picking Ozark for a road win at Dardanelle)
2. Dardanelle 5-2 (tie breaker over Booneville)
3. Booneville 5-2
4. Pottsville (tie breaker over Dover)
5. Dover (this assumes a home win over Waldron and road loss at Ozark)

I've got Waldron finishing 3-4 with losses at Dover and at home against Dardanelle. 

This finish could really be wild, and fun. 

[WPWells]

Well, it may turn out that Charleston beat the top two from this conference....

[Jimbo Morphis]

What is a jugger not?

[Lacerta agilis]

A "jugger not" is a word that describes the top 6 teams in the 4-4A this year. We may not have any juggernauts, but we have 6 jugger nots.

Being a lifetime Hillbilly, I like these predictions! Gonna be a tough final 2 games for Ozark. Even as a Hillbilly, I'm going with a 1-1 finish for the final 2 games for Ozark. Seriously contemplating the drive to Dardanelle Friday evening.....

[beach bum]

Well, it may turn out that Charleston beat the top two from this conference....

Word is from the hills of Mountain View that Charleston doesn't play anyone good though....

What is a jugger not?

It is a word made up by a Yell County boy with an Arkansas education to describe a mess.
