--> 00:04:24.160 Looks like Highland and them are on a collision course. 00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:25.759 Yeah, no doubt, week 10. 00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:27.439 You know, they got Pocahontas this week. 00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:30.959 And yeah, actually, my son's an offensive coordinator for his career. 00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:38.000 And so he's getting a chance to call plays for Kenny, but Kenny really calls plays through my son and and and orchestrates that. 00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:41.360 Uh Highland, you know, I went back to watch some film on Highland. 00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:44.319 Highland's a really good football team and then beating Gosnell. 00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:49.680 I think Gosnell quarterback actually went out in the first quarter, which kind of hampers what they do on offense. 00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:51.439 Their quarterback runs through them. 00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:55.279 Uh, and so I think Highland took advantage of that, but I'm not taking anything away from Highland. 00:04:55.360 --> 00:05:07.120 I think they got a really good football team this year with a quarterback that they can sling it around, and they got some really good running backs, and then a really good receiver that catches the ball, and then defense that just you know just enough to keep teams from scoring a lot. 00:05:07.279 --> 00:05:07.600 Yeah. 00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:11.199 And the 6'8 West, which you're real familiar, you've been in that league for years. 00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:16.160 I mean, it looks like I mean, you got Lake Hamilton, your old team went Mountain Home took care of business. 00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:20.160 You got Van Buren and Mountain Home this week, and then Van Buren, Lake Ham. 00:05:20.319 --> 00:05:23.759 So those three spots there look like the all three of them are fighting there. 00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:25.199 What are you seeing now there? 00:05:25.279 --> 00:05:30.079 You know, all the all the tension's been over in the East because they're you probably in the top five, everything. 00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:35.839 Can the West, in your opinion, get some guys in the playoffs and and try to do a little damage? 00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:37.759 Yeah, you know, that's a huge question. 00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:43.120 I was concerned about uh uh Mountain Home if they could score enough points against Lake Hamilton, but they did. 00:05:43.199 --> 00:05:47.360 I mean, defensively they shut down Lake Hamilton really good, and then Lake Hamilton couldn't score. 00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:50.240 And I think uh a lot of credit goes to uh to Mountain Home. 00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:51.920 Coach Harry has those kids ready. 00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:53.519 Uh they kind of stuck it into them. 00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:57.920 I think uh people don't realize how good Mountain Home's front four is, yeah, actually front seven. 00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:09.920 They all they don't have to really do it to get to the quarterback, and uh one of their players may need I don't know if they blocked him all night long, and uh and I think that's that was a big win for Mountain Home, kind of rolling into Van Buren. 00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:14.720 And I think the way Mountain Home, if they play like that, they'll they'll definitely beat Van Buren this week. 00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:24.800 I think uh they've been dominating on defense, and then their offense is finally catching up, and I think their quarterback's finally getting a little more comfortable back in the pocket, and it seems like he's throwing the ball a little better. 00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:27.600 In fact, he hurt Lake Hamilton a couple big balls down the field. 00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:32.800 Wow, and then you know, if their defense plays like it does, it's going to you know be hard for Van Buren to move the ball too. 00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:46.800 And I know Van Buren's pretty talented, they got a quarterback back and they have their running back back, uh, who are really good players, and I think they even have a good receiver back, and so I know offensively they can score some points, but I think uh you know Mountain Home is ready for that game, and I know they'll be ready this week. 00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:51.120 And and so if Mountain Home can play like that every week, they'll have an opportunity to make some noise. 00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:53.920 Uh, you know, the the East is so stacked this year. 00:06:54.000 --> 00:07:00.879 Yeah, I just I mean, uh, you know, there's four or five teams that can win a state title out of there, you know, just after you look at some of these scores. 00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:08.319 I was kind of surprised on the Seven Hills losing uh to Jonesboro, uh, you know, hand soft to Jonesboro for beating seven Hills. 00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:11.519 Uh I think uh all all four or five of those teams can play. 00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:13.120 Now Benton's playing a little better. 00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:24.800 I think the quarterback plays gotten a little better, that kid's gotten a little better each week, and then you know the the big thing that I've seen on Benton is their back ends kind of giving up some points, and and some of the teams that have that can throw the round a little bit have taken advantage of that. 00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:26.000 I think that's what Sheridan did. 00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:28.000 But I think they're trying to share that up a little bit. 00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:33.519 I haven't watched much more film on them lately, but I know if they can get that all covered up, then I I don't know who it is. 00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:35.040 I'm kind of shocked on the Cersei. 00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:46.800 I thought Cersei, everybody I talked to this summer, said Cersei had the best players, uh, offense and defense, and quarterback can throw it, and they got a really good running back, and then two or three receivers that are flat, uh, nobody can cover it. 00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:53.360 And so uh hats off to Benton for covering them and and shortening the

game and playing really good uh offense and defense. 00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:55.199 Yeah, that that you just nailed it. 00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:59.120 That 6A looks like it's gonna be fun to watch. 00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:02.319 There's gonna be some rematch and that East over there in 4-A. 00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:04.800 I think it's an underrated conference right now. 00:08:04.959 --> 00:08:08.480 I think from top to bottom, there's five teams in there that can play. 00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:09.920 Well, Darrell, let's do this. 00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:13.839 All right, who's our bender brigade of the week or O-line of the week?

--> 00:13:16.639 Uh, it's headed over to Prescott. 00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:19.759 Prescott's got their stamp back a little bit back in that conference. 00:13:19.919 --> 00:13:25.679 Can co can Coach Glass with that momentum keep it going for the Curly Wolves, Daryl? 00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:30.720 Uh you look at this game, it's kind of a you know a direct they're both seven and one. 00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:31.279 Yeah. 00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:36.879 Uh, you know, uh both of them, uh, smackovers averaging about 400 yards a total offense. 00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:39.120 Prescott's averaged about 357. 00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:43.360 Uh so you know they're they're they're pretty much stacked up statistically speaking. 00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:48.159 Uh the Buckaroos, you know, they're averaging 294 yards on the ground. 00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:48.799 Yeah. 00:13:49.039 --> 00:13:50.720 But Prescott's front seven. 00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:52.879 They've only given up eight points on the year. 00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:54.639 Uh, they're pretty good up front there. 00:13:54.720 --> 00:14:00.960 So I'm gonna say that this is gonna be one of those games uh where I think Prescott's gonna have to make some plays in the passing game. 00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:04.639 Uh, you know, Coach Glass, he's a special teams wizard, too. 00:14:04.720 --> 00:14:06.720 Look for something, something great to happen there. 00:14:06.879 --> 00:14:08.240 Prescott is at home. 00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:10.480 Yeah, home game. 00:14:10.559 --> 00:14:16.960 I'm gonna take Prescott at home and the Curly Wolves uh beat Smack Over to take over that spot in that conference lead. 00:14:17.360 --> 00:14:18.799 Daryl's taking Prescott. 00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:20.399 Matth, your thoughts on this? 00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:22.320 What Smack Over's got a great football team? 00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:26.720 Prescott looks like can they keep the momentum going off the big win last week? 00:14:27.200 --> 00:14:30.639 Yes, uh SmackOver does have a great team this year. 00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:33.600 But I'm gonna tell you something, and Prescott has a favor. 00:14:34.080 --> 00:14:37.679 You defeat Bismarck and the Keekleys, you've done something. 00:14:38.080 --> 00:14:41.759 You're playing really, really good football. 00:14:42.080 --> 00:14:52.080 And uh right now, I sound like a broken record, but it sounds it look it seems to me that Prescott's hitting in their stride right now. 00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:59.200 And I'm gonna take the Curly Wolves in hopes of getting free food at the Flying Burger in Arkadel. 00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:01.519 Love it. 00:15:02.320 --> 00:15:05.200 All right, Tommy, smack over at Prescott, Coach Glass, man. 00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:06.799 He he's got them back a little bit. 00:15:06.879 --> 00:15:08.559 Coach Harrison down there at the Smackovers. 00:15:08.799 --> 00:15:13.919 We built a good program, scoring points, defense versus offense a little bit here. 00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:15.120 Yeah, no, no doubt. 00:15:15.200 --> 00:15:22.480 I think you know, I'm looking at some of the scores, and you know, Prescott, you know, lately is other than the other night, have really not given up a whole lot of points. 00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:23.279 Don't do that. 00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:26.720 And the mouth's right about you know, going to Bismarck and winning there. 00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:33.519 I think you know, Coach Keithley's done a really good job of building a program there from a program that nobody ever thought could win to be in the finals. 00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:33.919 Yeah, yeah. 00:15:34.080 --> 00:15:36.240 And I thought they have a chance to make a run again this year. 00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:37.519 I was kind of shocked at the score. 00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:39.360 I thought that they would win at home. 00:15:39.679 --> 00:15:44.240 I know it's hard to beat Prescott at Prescott, but I think that uh Prescott will definitely win this week. 00:15:44.320 --> 00:15:46.080 I don't think SmackOver can stop them enough. 00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:47.360 I think they're gonna be pretty good. 00:15:47.600 --> 00:15:52.639 But I think Prescott usually against the run does a really good job of slowing teams down. 00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:56.159 Uh if you can throw it a little bit, maybe Smack Over can hurt them with that. 00:15:56.240 --> 00:15:58.720 Uh but um I'm I'm gonna go with Prescott. 00:15:58.799 --> 00:15:59.840 I think they're on a roll right now. 00:15:59.919 --> 00:16:06.559 The only thing is if they have a letdown after that huge win, uh they're gonna have to get motivated this week because this is a really big game for playoff. 00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:07.360 It is. 00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:08.799 Coach is going with Prescott. 00:16:08.879 --> 00:16:10.080 I'm gonna go with Prescott too. 00:16:10.159 --> 00:16:21.519 I think Coach Glass is, you know, had they played a bunch of, you you hit it earlier, played a bunch of young people last year, and they've really been building this thing, and they're back, and he's not gonna let it go, and they're they're focused. 00:16:21.600 --> 00:16:24.559 And I'm going with Prescott, and I just think they've got some good things going on. 00:16:24.720 --> 00:16:26.399 All right, headed over to God's country. 00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:30.799 You got Walner Ridge who just dismantled the Rivercrest Colts last week. 00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:31.840 I mean, just dismantled. 00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:36.720 Blake Kid Brand, he's still running down Highway 62 somewhere. 00:16:36.879 --> 00:16:41.039 Uh Osceola, surprising loss to Hoxie. 00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:43.120 Hoxie's kind of in the mix here. 00:16:43.440 --> 00:16:46.240 Butch Gray knows how to stop the single wing. 00:16:46.320 --> 00:16:47.600 He's seen it a few times. 00:16:47.679 --> 00:16:51.440 But Walner Ridge looks like they're cream crop of this league a little bit. 00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:55.840 Yeah, you know, they're they're averaging 321 yards on the

ground. 00:16:56.080 --> 00:16:56.799 Good lord. 00:16:57.039 --> 00:17:01.759 Yeah, and then they needless to say, they're not uh turning it over very much either. 00:17:01.919 --> 00:17:03.919 Chase Blake is over a thousand yards. 00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:05.839 He's averaging 13 yards a carry. 00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:10.960 He's got 18 touchdowns on the year, and they're averaging 45 points a game at Walnut Ridge. 00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:13.920 Uh beat Rivercrest this past week 55 to 18. 00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:17.039 Like you said, I don't think they ever even touched Blake. 00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:17.680 Oh, my God. 00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:20.960 Uh, I mean, he was electric even against the Rivercrest in that bunch. 00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:25.119 Uh Oceola, you know, suffered a tough one this past week, 26-20. 00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:26.400 They are at home, though. 00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:26.960 Yep. 00:17:27.200 --> 00:17:30.160 And, you know, does the hangover uh affect Walnut Ridge? 00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:32.480 Because it was a huge game with Rivercrest last week. 00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:33.440 I don't think it does. 00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:39.039 I'm taking Walnut Ridge, even though that old seminole will be blown up and standing tall. 00:17:39.440 --> 00:17:39.920 It will be. 00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:41.359 It'll be there the white long. 00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:42.480 No doubt about it. 00:17:42.720 --> 00:17:43.920 Math over in God's Country. 00:17:44.079 --> 00:17:47.279 Walnut Ridge would come on the scene with high expectations this season. 00:17:47.440 --> 00:17:48.400 They've met it. 00:17:48.559 --> 00:17:50.960 Headed over to Oceola and seen Coach Hooks. 00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:59.599 Walnut Ridge is a football team that has lived up to the billing this year. 00:17:59.920 --> 00:18:11.200 Um they because they aren't weren't really uh, you know, they just improved so much this year, and they've gone to the upper echelon and they got conference. 00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:17.359 And Oceola lost it lost a tough one last week. 00:18:17.759 --> 00:18:26.240 But um I'm gonna just tell you that some of those may be standing tall when it starts, but it's gonna get chopped down. 00:18:26.559 --> 00:18:30.000 Oh's going with a bottom up rig. 00:18:31.200 --> 00:18:32.160 All right, Coach. 00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:33.839 Tommy, what's your thoughts on this? 00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:36.160 And you know, Coach Gray's seen that single wing a few times. 00:18:38.480 --> 00:18:41.119 If he ever needs any help, he knows where to call this week. 00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:46.960 He worked me in front lake for two years, and so he knows he knows who to call on that kind of stuff. 00:18:47.279 --> 00:18:51.920 Yeah, I would I've I've seen Walner Ridge because I've been to all my sons' games this year and they played him early. 00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:54.079 Uh Walner Ridge has a really good football team. 00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:56.079 I think OCL will be ready for him. 00:18:56.240 --> 00:18:59.839 I think they they got more weapons in than than one kid that runs the ball so well. 00:18:59.920 --> 00:19:01.759 They have a couple other kids that run it really well too. 00:19:01.839 --> 00:19:05.680 They have a Division I lineman that plays like a tight end H-back kid. 00:19:05.920 --> 00:19:08.079 He's a really big kid, and then they have a big line. 00:19:08.160 --> 00:19:12.079 Uh, I think uh it's gonna be a ball game, but I think Walnut Ridge, this is their year. 00:19:12.160 --> 00:19:15.200 I think they're playing at a high level, and I think they're gonna have an opportunity to win. 00:19:15.440 --> 00:19:16.640 Yeah, I'm I'm with all three of you. 00:19:16.799 --> 00:19:19.599 I'm going with Walnut Ridge also until somebody proves me different. 00:19:19.680 --> 00:19:27.519 I mean, OCL is, you know, Coach Hooks and them, and they do a great job, but man, watching them against Rivercrest last week just wow. 00:19:27.680 --> 00:19:29.839 And so I'm going with the Bobcats also. 00:19:29.920 --> 00:19:31.440 All right, headed in Central Arkansas. 00:19:31.680 --> 00:19:38.640 Got Heber Springs who's coming off of a big loss against Lone Oak, but they've got a bounce back headed to the pit over in Bocside. 00:19:38.720 --> 00:19:40.319 Bocksite's been rolling Darrell. 00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:43.359 The only really hiccup is Lone Oak earlier this year. 00:19:43.599 --> 00:19:45.599 And uh your thoughts on this one? 00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:48.960 Well, you know, Bauxite's gotten back to just what Bocside does. 00:19:49.119 --> 00:19:51.839 They run the football, don't turn it over, playing really good on defense. 00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:55.359 They beat Clinton this past week, 55 to 17. 00:19:55.519 --> 00:19:58.480 Uh, like you said, it's it's a home game for the miners there. 00:19:58.559 --> 00:20:01.519 Heber Springs lost last week 49-20. 00:20:01.599 --> 00:20:04.000 Uh, and man, I was really impressed with Lono. 00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:06.960 But Spencer Suggs, their sophomore sensation at quarterback. 00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:11.680 He's over uh almost 2,000 yards uh passing, over 20 touchdowns. 00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:14.720 They're averaging 294 yards through the air. 00:20:14.880 --> 00:20:17.599 Um, can Bocside handle that or not? 00:20:17.680 --> 00:20:21.519 You know, Clinton last week's more like they are kind of mirror images. 00:20:21.599 --> 00:20:30.240 Uh, so it's really gonna be a test for box side secondary here, and can they get to the quarterback, get them guys behind the chains, all that good stuff, maybe cause a turnover here. 00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:32.319 Huge for boxide, playoff-wise. 00:20:32.480 --> 00:20:34.240 Same thing with Heber here in the standings. 00:20:34.319 --> 00:20:36.880 Uh boxide at home, though, and they're playing so well. 00:20:36.960 --> 00:20:42.000 I'm gonna take box side and then my at home, man. 00:20:42.079 --> 00:20:44.640 The Daryl's taking boxide miners in the

pit. 00:20:44.799 --> 00:20:47.039 All right, Mouth, your thoughts on this one. 00:20:47.279 --> 00:20:59.200 Uh well, my thoughts on this one is Hebrew Springs is headed to the pit, and they were the pit last Friday night, and that's not gonna change. 00:20:59.279 --> 00:21:01.839 I'm looking at boxite to take care of Hebrew Springs. 00:21:02.000 --> 00:21:03.440 Mouth's going with Boxite. 00:21:03.839 --> 00:21:05.119 Tommy, your thoughts on this one. 00:21:05.440 --> 00:21:11.599 Hebrews been scoring a lot of points, and boxite score enough points, and then you know, just conflicting styles here a little bit. 00:21:11.759 --> 00:21:12.160 Yeah, I don't know. 00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:16.079 You know, he you know, the thing is, I went back and watched some video on both of them real quick and just kind of see them. 00:21:16.160 --> 00:21:22.079 Uh, you know, the one thing that has changed back there in the pit, I don't know if they played patent anymore when the teams come running out. 00:21:22.160 --> 00:21:23.440 I don't know if y'all remember that. 00:21:23.680 --> 00:21:25.279 They played patent, come running out. 00:21:25.599 --> 00:21:28.799 They really oh my and you know, that was pretty intimidating back in the day. 00:21:28.880 --> 00:21:32.400 Old Coach Watson had those kids rolling with the old back beer. 00:21:32.640 --> 00:21:34.720 They played patent, those kids come out marching. 00:21:34.880 --> 00:21:37.279 I tell you what, that's pretty intimidating back in the day. 00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:40.640 So yeah, I know that uh coaches do a really good job of getting them there. 00:21:40.720 --> 00:21:42.720 I think I've watched both guys, both teams. 00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:44.480 I think he was ring is more explosive. 00:21:44.720 --> 00:21:52.400 You know, they play a really good team this week, and and uh guys I mean, I guys Lone Oak has a chance to make a run at it. 00:21:52.559 --> 00:21:54.880 I think I think they're a good enough team on both sides of the ball. 00:21:54.960 --> 00:21:56.400 I think they've kind of proven that now. 00:21:56.640 --> 00:21:58.400 I think he's a spring is pretty explosive. 00:21:58.559 --> 00:21:59.680 You know, their only other loss is. 00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:00.720 to Highland. 00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:01.039 Yeah. 00:22:01.279 --> 00:22:03.440 And I think Highland's pretty explosive too. 00:22:03.519 --> 00:22:06.720 And so I I'm I'm going to go I'm going to go with Hebrew Springs. 00:22:06.880 --> 00:22:11.359 I feel like they're they're have a better chance of winning just with their more explosive they can make a lot of plays. 00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:17.759 I know Bocside's pretty uh you know grounding, but I think um they'll uh they'll take opportunities with that with through the air. 00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:27.279 Well and and that's what I've been back and forth with just can Bocside score enough points you know and then this back and forth it gets down to one you know one possession deal. 00:22:27.440 --> 00:22:29.920 I'm going to go with boxide just because they're at the pit. 00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:34.880 I think they play better they're at the pit but they better strap it on and get ready to roll in this one. 00:22:34.960 --> 00:22:40.319 It should be and they're I mean looks like probably playing for a two seed which is huge in the playoffs. 00:22:40.400 --> 00:22:41.839 All right head to Central Arkansas. 00:22:42.000 --> 00:22:49.920 Huge matchup Darrell we we hit these guys last week coach Cortez Lee and Little Rock Mills have been rolling headed over to Jacksonville. 00:22:50.079 --> 00:22:54.960 Jacksonville with this win probably seals up a a two seed in the playoffs. 00:22:55.200 --> 00:22:58.160 Mills can still make a run I mean they're still in the middle of this deal. 00:22:58.319 --> 00:25:42.880 Oh yeah Mills you know coming off of a 36-24 victory over Villonia this past week uh you know they've been doing it with you know they play two quarterbacks most of the time but their man their defense is so good uh you know offensively they got a Bryson uh Cunningham in the path they kind of use him all over the place uh they'll use him at tailback and all over the place for explosive plays they're averaging about 300 yards on offense it is at Jacksonville too Jacksonville just coming off a big huge win over Mall Mill 64 to zero this past week they're averaging about 456 yards of total offense makes some ball is explosive in the run game almost 1307 yards and 24 touchdowns they can also throw it they got Jacob Boone uh and Jaden uh hicks in the passing game too uh they're really good on offense their defense is starting to come around too which is kind of scary uh because they can get with they can get to the quarterback too just rushing for uh they don't have to bring anybody uh extra in there that that enables them to uh play coverage in uh in the back end of that thing Mills though I don't know Mills has been one of those teams that's been to a lot of big stages of the game right here Jacksonville's kind of the newcomer Jacksonville is at home I know coach coach will have them fired up here so I'm gonna take Jacksonville at home I'm gonna take Jacksonville at home taking the taking the Titans at home mouth your thoughts on this coach Cortez has really got them rolling coach Reggie does too well can the the mill stop the ground attack of uh Jacksonville no wow uh let's let's give one shout out coach Reggie Swinton has done a fantastic job yeah at Jacksonville just fantastic and I I think that uh Jacksonville is a is a team on a mission this year I see Jacksonville defeating Mills Mouse got Jacksonville Tommy your thoughts on this when Cortez and him I mean nobody's really talked about him they're just sitting there rolling winning games and Jacksonville is just so dominant on the on the ground attack exploring yeah and they are you know and I got to see him twice because they played the same scene and and early in the

year and that's one of one of the their only loss is to is to uh Jacksonville and then uh the uh the other thing about Jacksonville is you know I've seen them on defense I think the the Hunter Vincent guy that's coaching their defense this year has done a really good job i i was more impressed with that than anything I knew they were going to be explosive on offense and and so I knew that was going to be a thing about it I really haven't seen the mills much but I kind of looked back at scores and kind of went back and forth on this but I think Jacksonville actually in in the bigger games has played really well they you know they barely lost to they barely lost to Robinson. 00:25:43.119 --> 00:26:00.559 I mean you know it I mean you sit there and look at that you know they were playing really good early and then kind of got late kind of got ripped out but I think that uh that Jacksonville he's really got him playing really well right now and I know this is a game he's gonna really tout uh I know um Mills has been you know playing good all year but I'm I'm going to go with Jacksonville too. 00:26:00.720 --> 00:26:09.440 Nope Tom's going with Jacksville I'm going Jacksonville also I think you just nailed it and and if you out of all the teams this year Jacksonville has been consistent. 00:26:09.599 --> 00:26:21.680 I mean they are you there's about four or five teams have been very consistent and they have and I'm going with Jacksonville I think the ground ground game but it will be physical and it will be a close game but I've I like Jacksonville in this one also. 00:26:21.839 --> 00:28:39.680 All right staying in central Arkansas you got Sylvan Hills here Darrell who goes to Jonesboro gets has a loss last week not surprising Jonesboro's played everybody well lost to Benton by one been in a lot of games headed over to Sheridan coach coach Kelly was not excited about his team in the first half last week and they got it turned around uh can Sylvan Hills come in here and and screw this whole 6A East thing up for everybody well I can tell you this much it's gonna be these teams averaged combined for 1200 yards of offense yes it would be a combined 1200 yards of offense in this game uh that's out there that's just their average too that's not like you know some other than anything over that so Sylvan Hills five and three you had a tough loss this past week to Jonesboro 31 to 28 uh you know they've got so many guys you know the quarterback uh the Burnett kid you know he's already signed to play baseball with the Hawks Isaiah Howard Ezekiel Carriters in the passing game you know if you look at it they're averaging almost 203 yards rushing uh that a lot of people don't really realize so they can control the ball flip side of that Sheridan's averaging almost 200 yards rushing too so uh it's a telltale sign Sheridan's at home again this week 8-0 on the season like you said coach Kelly you know it's when you're winning is when you're really coaching yeah you

know when you're losing you can be positive kind of keep their head on the top he's got these guys walking the line here uh he knows what's it uh ahead of him Barksdale almost he's over 3,000 yards on the season already and he's got uh 42 touchdown passes yeah that's right 42 touchdown passes yes it's got to be something crazy like that zae Stevens over 1500 yards on the ground he can do everything that he wants to offensive line of Sheridan might be the best one in the state of Arkansas those guys can block everybody up front uh gives that guy of course he gets rid of it so fast too uh there's always options open in that game the key for Sheridan though is these two guys Reed Stevens and Ross Stevens they're they're defensive guys and both of those dudes make plays and it's not that they stop a bunch of people from scoring but they're the ones that come up with turnovers and the big key tackle to stop runs uh and then they get you into are you going to go for a fourth and four? 00:28:40.160 --> 00:28:51.839 If you go for a fourth and four Sheridan's bound to pull throw something out at you here Sylvan Hills has to have this game to kind of stay in the mix of everything too I think it's a huge game for them but I'm taking Sheridan at home in this one. 00:28:52.079 --> 00:28:53.519 Darrell's taking Sheridan home. 00:28:53.759 --> 00:28:56.480 Matthew you know coach sucker he'll get them off the mat. 00:28:56.640 --> 00:29:05.680 This is a big game for the Bears going over to Sheridan Sheridan can you know with you know really one week left after this week could really seal the deal for a conference championship. 00:29:06.000 --> 00:29:20.559 They can uh this is a big game this is a big game every week every week's been a big game for Sheridan because the they with with each win each week the next week they're entering uncharted territory. 00:29:20.640 --> 00:29:29.200 Yeah and right now going into week nine they are definitely in uncharted territory if you know what I mean. 00:29:30.400 --> 00:30:11.119 Sheridan has a dominant offensive line with uh Bradley Sturdevant and their and their other tackle they're really really good and that allows their quarterback just to throw it like nobody's business plus he gets rid of it so quick um very well coached this this will be a great game but I'm going I'm going with the Sheridan yellow jackets mouse going with the yellow jackets Tommy you know both of these guys real well you know they're great two great coaches Sheridan is has found a way to win and coach Kelly is doing a great job seven hills talented and they're right in the mix. 00:30:11.200 --> 00:30:53.680 I mean you I could see them making a run also it's going to be a right I think both of them you know this is one of the things that I thought was going to cause a problem for for Sheridan I thought you know uh seven hills would have enough kids that skill kids that could cover uh but it seems like they've had problems I don't know what Jonesboro

did to them but if you go back to the to the Sheridan Jonesboro game it was 42 to seven at half now I don't know if Jonesboro was ready for that uh but I I was that really impressed me the most about uh Sheridan when they got out there and jumped on them like that and and so I I'm leaning toward that I think coach sucker will have him ready but I think coach Kelly and and Coach Ox are on the defense he's slowly getting little next increases to to take advantage of turnovers or interceptions or fumbles. 00:30:54.799 --> 00:30:59.440 You know uh coach Kelly did punt the other day I saw that on film and so I know he can do it. 00:30:59.599 --> 00:31:26.960 I you know I'd advise him to do it a couple more times it wouldn't hurt him do that a little bit and then you know coach was talking earlier that they scored 42 uh passing touchdowns this year you know as a coach I probably scored 42 in three years of passing on the other hand you know with rushing touchdowns I kind of cornered that market I I'm gonna go with I'm gonna go with Sheridan at home I think coach Kelly's got a rolling I think that loss last week to to Jonesville really put uh put a dent in what I thought they were doing. 00:31:27.039 --> 00:31:42.559 I thought this game would be a little more uh clout with it but by them losing you know now they have two conference losses that kind of puts them behind they've got to win now and their only other loss was to Benton and I think Benton uh and Fayeville were both teams that kind of moved it around I think they're gonna have trouble with that. 00:31:42.799 --> 00:32:03.039 Yeah well here here's the deal I and I'm with you a little bit I'm gonna go with Sheridan I think you're gonna see a highly motivated Sylvan Hills team come in there and I think Sheridan pulls it out it's kind of like they have the last couple weeks you know just in the in late close game but I'm gonna go with the Yellowjackets but you're gonna see a highly motivated Sylvan Hills Bears come in there. 00:32:03.119 --> 00:32:15.039 All right heading to to northwest Arkansas western Arkansas we have not talked a lot about this conference a 6A West this could be for a conference championship we still got Lake Hamilton and Van Buren got a play. 00:32:15.119 --> 00:32:25.599 You got Mountain Home coming off a huge win a statement win against Lake Hamilton last week Van Buren can score the ball we've been you know kind of thought they'd be a little bit cream of the crop. 00:32:25.759 --> 00:32:42.799 Mountain home this young team coach Harry's got them rolling Daryl Yeah he does you know it's it's just like we said first year he's he's you know sophomore quarterbacks kind of got the you know got it figured out how they're going to use him uh on offense here that beat Lake Hamilton this past week 45 to 14 that improved as 7-1. 00:32:43.119 --> 00:32:49.839 Uh they're traveling to Van Buren who's also 7-1 beat Southwest this past week 38 to 0. 00:32:50.640 --> 00:33:25.599 The big telltale to me is that uh Mountain Holmes averaging about 37 points a game they only give up 10 uh they live on turnovers and like coach said earlier man their front seven is really really good uh defensively they kind of lean on those guys there uh Van Buren Hayden Willeford is a quarterback that's coming back and Christian Berry kid can run the football there so it's gonna be a test there uh to see what Van Buren can actually they can move Mountain Holmes front seven around a little bit here but I just think Mountain Home's been there done that I like that the coach will have them ready you can say you know road trip but when is it not a road trip for Mountain Holmes? 00:33:25.759 --> 00:35:30.000 They don't care they don't really care uh I'm gonna take Mountain home in this one Daryl's taking Mountain home math your thoughts on this one you know Van Buren can score the ball could that you know struggle a little bit here defensively Mountain home looks like pretty solid both sides can Van Buren come in here and take take control of this conference no okay um let me tell you a little bit about Mountain Home Mountain Home has got a has got a defense that nobody knows about a couple weeks ago they played uh Little Rock Catholic and they had the best goal line stand I'd ever seen in high school football I agree with you i'm not I'm not gonna lie to you uh coach Harry they got it going on sophomore quarterback uh going on a road trip for them is no big deal they just leave at noon every Friday yeah and get back home about two or three o'clock in the morning but I'm going with Mountain Home now's going with the bombers Tommy you know both these teams you've played them 375 times in the league and you know you've been at both venues your thoughts you've watched them both yeah you know after after that you know that one game like he was talking about earlier you know Little Rock Catholic home speeds them you know at their play you know at down there and I'm like oh coach Jerry I told him he didn't install the wing team and I said maybe we can score a little points there he started laughing he goes I don't know if we could ever do that here but we we talked a little bit after that he's kind of gotten better each week yeah because I really I go man if you can't score you're gonna have trouble later on if your you know your defense finally gives a couple big plays up and so they've kind of worked on it and you know this week against Lake Hamilton which I thought Lake Hamilton has a really good football team I think um for them to go down you know for them to stop you know Lake Hamilton's offense like they did this week nobody's really stopped them a whole bunch and so for them to stop them like they did um I I'm going Mountain home and I know Coach Moe will have them ready. 00:35:30.159 --> 00:35:43.039 I know they'll have some different gimmicks but I know it's gonna be hard for them to run the ball and I know they like running the ball with that with

their running back and so it's gonna put a lot of pressure on that quarterback and he's gonna have to make plays through the air and if he can then that's the only way I think they can beat Mountain Home. 00:35:43.519 --> 00:35:50.719 Well and I I agree with you in the defensive part that front seven you nailed it Van Buren likes run football. 00:35:50.800 --> 00:35:55.199 I mean they do and they'll they'll throw some tricks in there in that part I'm gonna go against the grain. 00:35:55.280 --> 00:35:59.920 I think the pointers get it done I think uh I just watched them all year long. 00:36:00.239 --> 00:36:05.760 Mountain home goes down there and wins does not surprise me but I'm just gonna go against the green a little bit and I'm gonna go with the pointers. 00:36:05.920 --> 00:36:19.280 All right headed to Central Arkansas Big 7A central matchup here we've got the Little Rock Christian headed over to Conway Darrell like we talked about your number one team Conway has been the most consistent team in the state especially in the biggest classification. 00:36:19.440 --> 00:36:26.079 Little Rock Christian had tough loss a couple weeks ago against North Little Rock but they're they're still in the mix right there. 00:36:26.320 --> 00:36:27.280 Talk to us. 00:36:27.599 --> 00:37:03.920 Well you know Little Rock Christian you know you come into this game and it's it's been the turnovers that have just literally just killed them and they've had a hard time stopping the run too they're going to Conway here they're averaging 255 yards through the air Conway's defense is playing lights out at this time and man they can run the football MJ Gibson's averaging 180 yards per game on the ground and they're playing three or four tailbacks in there too it's not like he's getting you know 40 carries a night here blackman keeps everybody honest and Ryder Cook just keeps making he is the perfect quarterback for Coach James because he will not throw it into coverage. 00:37:04.000 --> 00:37:09.519 He will throw it out of bounds he don't care about stats uh and if he gets in trouble he'll just take off running with it. 00:37:09.599 --> 00:38:26.639 So uh that guy's been coached up in that in that system and and uh coach reading that offensive line is is definitely a Clint Reed offensive line and and uh coach James and them are leaning on those guys a lot up front I think Conway stays perfect in this one I think they they uh take care of business at home uh and man set up the next two weeks to be really exciting football no doubt Daryl's going with Conway Matthew your thoughts on this one coach James and them can they keep rolling yes they can uh coach James is I don't know he's very very happy with this team this team plays Buck James football physical let's get after it let's don't turn the ball over quarterback don't make any crucial mistakes and we're gonna be fine I expect that formula to remain the same this week's going with the Wampus cats Tommy this one boy bucks had them rolling coach Grimmitt over there in Little Rock Christian's been in the mix they beat Brian earlier this year I mean they're still they're still right there huge game they can get right back in the hunt here no doubt I and I and I think Coach Grimm's done a great job of trying to elevate that from 68 to seven and I think he's done a good job of of getting some bigger kids on the on the front and that's what they needed to compete at that level. 00:38:27.119 --> 00:38:41.039 You know I talked about James earlier this year he finally feels like the weight room where they've always wanted to kind of compete at he's finally feels like the kids are where they need to be and I think for him it starts there in the weight room and then it and it transfers to the football field. 00:38:41.119 --> 00:38:54.800 So I think that he feels like the the team is finally he's got a team that well like like like the mouse said he finally got a team that does like he wants to do he wants to be physical play really good defense run the ball and then cash in on some big plays. 00:38:55.039 --> 00:39:00.480 I feel like you know overall I think Conway of what I've heard all summer too is they've got the talent to put it there. 00:39:00.639 --> 00:39:14.880 I think they got you know where it starts up front good offense the defensive lineman uh and so I feel like they have a better better chance of of you know competing for a state title I think Buck will actually have an opportunity to win this year at Conway and and I think Dustin Green is doing a good job. 00:39:14.960 --> 00:39:23.199 It'll be a good ballgame early but I think there's just when you late late in the third and fourth quarters when you pound the ball all the time some of those schools they don't like it. 00:39:23.280 --> 00:39:35.840 You know they don't like you hitting him in the face and when you hit them in the face they start going man I'm gonna I'm gonna whiff at his leg or tackle his shoes and they're not gonna put their nose in there like they need to coach Tommy's going with Conway. 00:39:36.000 --> 00:39:40.079 Well I I'm on Conway also and I'm gonna throw this out there I think this is a statement game. 00:39:40.159 --> 00:39:49.440 I think they're getting ready to make a run here and they're gonna coach James have them ready to go and I think it's a statement game and I like the Conway Wampus cats. 00:39:49.519 --> 00:42:35.679 All right guys up to Northwest Arkansas small school game of the week you got Elkins headed over to Gravit let's just be honest everybody's been up here in that conference has been waiting on this game all year should should crown the conference champion uh Daryl Elkins has had trouble stopping the run and grabbitt likes to pound the ball talk to me yes they do there's no doubt about it too uh grabbitt seven and one both these teams seven and one by the way uh Elkins beat Greenforest last uh week 39 to seven grabbit beat prairie grove 43 to boom shutout

man uh grabbits uh explosive on the ground um rody bowl handon is their their wide receiver's kind of dynamic in that in that part when they go over the top but man they they really want to run the football with jd uh beam and the in the whole nine yards they have four starters up front that are all back yeah uh on the offensive line so they they are very physical up front elkins has had trouble with physical teams uh you know they they've got to get offensively they're so explosive they're averaging almost 45 points a game here this is Ed Gravit yeah this is that's that's a huge telltale too uh like I said they've probably been looking for each other the entire time this is going to be going on uh I don't think these guys like each other too much either it's one of those beat be the man uh both areas are growing too yes it's amazing how that's happening uh but there's a lot of people headed that way to grab it and Elkins living there uh facilities have took an uptick in both places I'm going to take grave and home in this one Daryl's taking grab it mouth your thoughts coach Watson you know coming off the state championship trying to make another run grab it standing in the way um you know Elkins Coach Watson coming off the state championship lost a but lost a bunch of players off that state championship team and they are flying high at a smooth seven and one you do the you do that after a state championship game team that's lost a lot of players you're doing something right and uh grab it to be the man you got to beat the man and right now elkins is the man and we're gonna take the we're gonna take the Elkins elk mouse taking Elkins Tommy your thoughts on this one everybody up here has been waiting on this one all year long oh yeah no doubt you know a little backstory on Zach Watson he was my quarterback at Hector High School in seventh grade and we went undefeated in seventh grade football I'm putting that on my record right there with Zach Watson at my quarterback and Hector running the dead T for Mike Harry. 00:42:36.400 --> 00:42:50.800 And so he's kind of grown up I've kind of watched him as he's gone and and worked at Morleton for a long time and then got one year at Greenwood next thing you know he's at Elkins and and and it seems like they started a little slow like Mouse said I think defensively they lost some really good players. 00:42:50.960 --> 00:43:02.000 Their linebackers were really good last year and I kind of held them early and then uh their offense kind of got better as the year went but it looks like at the scores that they've kind of gotten better but uh Gravit seems like that this is their year. 00:43:02.079 --> 00:43:14.559 I mean this feels like they're the year that you know these are the group they've been waiting for the mouth's right I mean you got to go to Elkins to beat beat the dogs the big dogs on the porch man you've got to really play really well they got to play you know perfect. 00:43:14.960 --> 00:43:20.239

You know the only loss I saw for for Grab was an uh Oklahoma team that I went back and looked at. 00:43:20.400 --> 00:43:40.880 They were they're like six and two and so I thought maybe it was a team that was eight and oh so I that didn't impress me much but I thought that their the record against everybody else is they're killing everybody and I think they're gonna both sides of the ball this is a hard pick because Zach's my boy and he's been you know coaching a long time but I actually feel like grab it has this is their year and I feel like this is the team that they can probably take Elkins off it. 00:43:41.199 --> 00:43:57.920 Coach Gillard's going to grab it I tell you what I've been back and forth hadn't made my pick but Elkins has had trouble stopping the run a little bit and that that worries me and going up to grab it and it'll come down to turnovers and coach watching them will have a great plan he always does I think does a phenomenal job. 00:43:58.079 --> 00:44:00.960 I'm going with grab it I just I think it's their year. 00:44:01.039 --> 00:44:03.519 I think just what you said, it's their year. 00:44:03.599 --> 00:44:06.480 They've got a group of seniors, and we'll see how it rolls. 00:44:06.559 --> 00:44:09.280 All right, big school game of the week, Central Arkansas. 00:44:09.440 --> 00:44:13.840 This one here has its it's this is kind of cool because this is back a little bit. 00:44:14.000 --> 00:44:17.440 You know, it went away for the last couple of years, but this one right here is back. 00:44:17.599 --> 00:44:21.519 You got the North Little Rock Charging Wildcats led by Brad Bowdy. 00:44:21.760 --> 00:44:22.719 Head over to Bryant. 00:44:22.800 --> 00:44:24.880 Bryant has really come on, Darrell. 00:44:24.960 --> 00:44:26.079 We've talked about that. 00:44:26.320 --> 00:44:29.280 Uh not scared of North Little Rock. 00:44:29.360 --> 00:44:33.679 Can North Little Rock play a great clean game to take care of this? 00:44:33.760 --> 00:44:36.559 Because if they don't play clean, Bryant's going to win this football game. 00:44:36.800 --> 00:44:41.760 Yeah, I think uh North Little Rock in the in the past couple games have done a lot better with the penalties. 00:44:41.840 --> 00:44:45.760 That's what's always kind of been the uh Achilles Hill there of North Little Rock. 00:44:45.840 --> 00:44:50.559 North Rock 7-1 coming this game, a huge, probably their best game of the year against Central. 00:44:50.880 --> 00:44:53.679 Uh 42-9 this past week, beat Central. 00:44:53.840 --> 00:44:59.679 Uh Bryant moves to four and four, might be the best four-and-four team in the history of football. 00:44:59.760 --> 00:45:01.920 Uh they beat Cav this past week, 40-10. 00:45:02.000 --> 00:45:02.960 Kyler Shelby. 00:45:03.039 --> 00:45:04.800 They're kind of playing two quarterbacks. 00:45:04.880 --> 00:45:09.119 Uh both of them give them something different, but Shelby's the senior, kind of doesn't turn the ball over. 00:45:09.280 --> 00:45:10.480

But here's what's happened. 00:45:10.559 --> 00:45:13.840 Uh, if you've watched Bryant's defensive line has come alive. 00:45:14.159 --> 00:45:20.079 Sam Nelson and Bryan Hendricks has made a living uh terror out of the front. 00:45:20.159 --> 00:45:28.320 And then they found two corners too, Aaron Austin and Terry Jones, uh, to kind of clean up the secondary, which they struggled early on, especially in coverage. 00:45:28.400 --> 00:45:30.400 Uh so you knew Quad was going to figure that out. 00:45:30.639 --> 00:45:32.719 Coach has done a great job defensively there. 00:45:32.960 --> 00:45:34.400 Bryant is at home. 00:45:34.639 --> 00:45:43.119 I I think it's been seven years since uh North Little Rock has beat Bryant at Bryant, which is a big key in here. 00:45:43.199 --> 00:45:46.960 But Robert Jackson for uh North Little Rock's playing great at the quarterback spot. 00:45:47.039 --> 00:45:49.440 You got a two-headed monster in Reeves and Smith. 00:45:49.599 --> 00:45:53.199 Jameer Lee, the wide receiver is just explosive in the passing game. 00:45:53.280 --> 00:45:55.599 And then defensively, they played really well this past week. 00:45:56.239 --> 00:45:58.960 Priest Simpson is kind of a do-it-all kid. 00:45:59.039 --> 00:46:00.559 He's an extremely intelligent dude. 00:46:00.719 --> 00:46:01.840 Plays linebacker too. 00:46:02.000 --> 00:46:04.880 Their defensive front's led by a guy named Corey Couch. 00:46:05.119 --> 00:46:09.679 They also, I don't know, they've got a freak show left tackle that's a freshman. 00:46:09.840 --> 00:46:10.000 Yes. 00:46:10.320 --> 00:46:11.760 He's got some genetics, too. 00:46:11.920 --> 00:46:13.360 Yes, yeah. 00:46:13.519 --> 00:46:14.800 He's got some genetics. 00:46:14.880 --> 00:46:16.239 His uh mom played for me. 00:46:16.320 --> 00:46:18.000 She was uh all-American. 00:46:18.159 --> 00:46:19.679 I mean, she was a phenomenal player. 00:46:20.000 --> 00:46:21.039 MJ Harshaw. 00:46:21.199 --> 00:46:26.320 So I think I don't know what my man Brad's got in playing, but we might be uh I have to move this guy up. 00:46:26.400 --> 00:46:27.760 He's I mean, I get kicked out. 00:46:27.840 --> 00:46:30.400 He might actually get kicked out of putting people in the bleachers. 00:46:30.480 --> 00:46:40.000 But uh, if you if you want to see a see an young offensive lineman that should be getting some power fours, I know nothing about football, but that MJ Harshaw is the guy to go see that guy. 00:46:40.320 --> 00:46:44.639 6'5, uh weighs about 300 pounds already, and he moves like a dancer. 00:46:44.719 --> 00:46:46.559 He's got dancer speak like his mom. 00:46:46.719 --> 00:46:48.239 His mom could move like that too. 00:46:48.320 --> 00:46:50.079 So North Little Rock's got them coming. 00:46:50.159 --> 00:46:52.320 I think North Little Rock makes a statement in this game. 00:46:52.400 --> 00:46:54.960 I think they go to Bryant and they get a victory. 00:46:55.199 --> 00:46:56.639 Daryl's going with North Little Rock.

00:46:56.719 --> 00:46:57.840 Math, your thoughts on this one. 00:46:58.000 --> 00:47:01.840 Coach Quad's got him bounced back and they're that he'll get them to the highest level. 00:47:01.920 --> 00:47:04.719 Can Coach Bolden come in there and steal a victory? 00:47:05.039 --> 00:47:05.360 No. 00:47:07.440 --> 00:47:08.719 I do not think so. 00:47:09.039 --> 00:47:14.000 Uh, Brad, Coach Bolton's done a great job at uh North Little Rock this year. 00:47:14.239 --> 00:47:25.440 But uh the people that were writing Brian off before the conference season started, they've had a rude awakening, if you know what I'm saying. 00:47:25.679 --> 00:47:38.480 Uh Coach uh I was watching, I'm gonna give a shout out to Wes Morse post-game show on YouTube on Friday nights, and he had Coach Sanders on. 00:47:38.719 --> 00:47:44.079 And Coach Sanders said, This is the this is the type of year, this is the time of year I live for right here. 00:47:44.159 --> 00:47:45.599 It's fixing to get good. 00:47:46.159 --> 00:47:51.119 And Bryant is really good on really good on defense. 00:47:51.519 --> 00:48:04.800 Uh their offense is a little bit is limited, but their defense is good enough to keep them in games and keep them working, and I expect Bryant to keep on rolling. 00:48:05.119 --> 00:48:06.880 Miles taking the Brian Horns. 00:48:07.039 --> 00:48:08.480 Tommy, your thoughts on this one. 00:48:08.559 --> 00:48:11.679 I mean, this is gonna be a physical battle, yeah, no doubt. 00:48:11.920 --> 00:48:13.280 Yeah, the two teams that want to run it. 00:48:13.360 --> 00:48:16.480 You know, the thing that I've noticed, I went back and watched some film on Bryant. 00:48:16.639 --> 00:48:21.519 You know, they're playing that other quarterback at some, and I think he gives them gives them a little more opportunity to score. 00:48:21.599 --> 00:48:26.079 I think he's a little more dynamic, you know, throwing the ball, and the other the seniors are better at running the ball. 00:48:26.159 --> 00:48:29.679 And I feel like he he it kind of probably limits their offense. 00:48:29.760 --> 00:48:35.280 I think he turned the ball over early, and I think that kind of got him in trouble some of those games, but it seems like they've kind of worked them both in the game. 00:48:35.440 --> 00:48:40.719 I think the other one does a better job of probably scoring, but you got that senior you want to lean on too. 00:48:40.960 --> 00:48:43.199 I think uh Brad's done a really good job. 00:48:43.360 --> 00:48:48.400 You know, his front his front four on defense and his five offensive linemen are really good. 00:48:48.480 --> 00:48:51.679 Yeah, and I think that's what you know, they're running the ball, and they have two running backs. 00:48:51.760 --> 00:48:58.000 I know they moved a ninth grader up and last year when I was going to the junior high game, he was an eighth grader and nobody touched him. 00:48:58.239 --> 00:49:00.000 We were playing flag football that night. 00:49:00.239 --> 00:49:02.000 We were just trying to pull the flag. 00:49:02.320 --> 00:49:04.880 We just had to hope I hope we'd run out of bounds. 00:49:05.039 --> 00:49:07.840 And he was playing for him this year, and I think he's number 22. 00:49:07.920 --> 00:49:10.079 Yeah, he is phenomenal. 00:49:10.320 --> 00:49:11.119 And we knew that kid. 00:49:11.199 --> 00:49:14.400 I was like, Brad, you gotta move that kid up so we can beat you in junior high, you know. 00:49:14.480 --> 00:49:17.920 And of course that it doesn't matter this year, but I was looking back at that. 00:49:18.000 --> 00:49:19.920 I think Brad's got him going in the right direction. 00:49:20.159 --> 00:49:24.079 I think Bright, you know, this year is they're probably is not as talented as they've been. 00:49:24.159 --> 00:49:25.519 I think defensively, the mouse right. 00:49:25.679 --> 00:49:28.800 I think defensively they're really good, and that's probably gonna help them out, you know. 00:49:29.039 --> 00:49:36.400 I think North Little Crawl wants to run the ball, and and and when you got four good guys up front and then our linebackers kind of coming on, I think it's gonna be a tough game. 00:49:36.480 --> 00:49:41.840 But I think North Little Rock, if I'm looking at the scores and stuff, I feel like they have more opportunity to win in this year. 00:49:42.400 --> 00:49:43.679 Tommy's going to North Little Rock. 00:49:43.760 --> 00:49:51.360 Well, I've been back and forth, and I could see where it goes, and I could see Bryant coming in there because I know I think Quad's gonna get them to the highest level. 00:49:51.440 --> 00:49:53.199 But I like but I like North Little Rock. 00:49:53.280 --> 00:50:01.679 I think they've their body of work over the year has been very you know outstanding, uh, besides over at Conway and you know, and played them pretty good. 00:50:01.760 --> 00:50:03.440 But I'm gonna go with North Little Rock all season. 00:50:03.760 --> 00:50:11.920 And on top of that, you know, you know, Bryant's played Blast Academy, who's at the bottom, they played Northside, who's at the bottom, and then they played Cabin who's at the bottom the last three weeks. 00:50:12.000 --> 00:50:14.239 And so they haven't played the top tier at all. 00:50:14.400 --> 00:50:20.000 They've played the bottom tier, and so I feel like they're you know, this will be a real test for them this week. 00:50:20.239 --> 00:50:21.599 Oh, there's there's no doubt about it. 00:50:21.679 --> 00:50:22.800 And then it'll get going. 00:50:22.960 --> 00:50:26.880
