Little Rock Christian Academy
by High School Fan
Does anyone know anything about Little Rock Christian Academy? I have never heard of them untill this year. It looks lile they are giving some really good teams fits (Glen Rose, Hector). They are loosing, but it looks like they are really showing up to play.what is the word on these guys?

Little Rock Christian was formerly Walnut Valley Christian. They are a growing private school in West Little Rock. Because of low numbers, I believe this is only their second year to have a high school team. They have some very talented players as well as a great coach. I think they are an up and coming team.

We play against Vilonia Tommorrow and I beat ya we beat them our boys are gettin good the O-line Is awesome (all seniors) Antonio McCoy is one of the best in the state espeicially in the AAAA East Defense is one of the Best holding Weston (from Searcy and Arkansas Signee) to around 70 yards So watch out for those PIONEERS!!!!

Bryant's amazing quarterback Scott Peeler has thrown for 997 yards in his first 3 games as a starter. Now that's talent. I think he's better than Lance Parker, Bryant's QB last year. If Bryant can just get the defense to step it up, they could have a shot at winning the confrence, and MAYBE make it past the first round in the playoffs. I think Bryant has the best QB in the state. He's Built like a Linebacker and is not afraid to run and take a hit, but has an powerful arm and killer accuracy. What does everybody think about this extremely talented QB.

i play at bryant i watch scott throw everyday he is the most underrated qb in the state for sure he is so smart with the football its crazy i think he has trown almost 100 passes on the year and he has only thrown 2 pics i think thats very good
Posted on Sep 25, 2003, 8:07 PM from IP address 65.67.86.117
Well, let's see, Scott completed 24 of 31 passes against Catholic this Friday. With over 1000 yards in four games I think he has proven himself. He gets better every game. He has the ability to see his first, second, and third recievers. Not many qbs can do that at the high school level. I say he is the best qb that Bryant has had!
Posted on Sep 27, 2003, 8:43 PM from IP address 206.66.231.174
First let me say that I haven't personally seen Bryant play this year. I do know that Russellville has one totally outstanding quarterback. Not sure how many yards he has passing, etc. Does anyone have those stat's? I hear great things about Bryant's QB though, so it will definitely be interesting to see how they compare at the end of the year for sure.
Posted on Sep 26, 2003, 8:11 AM from IP address 170.94.58.110
Correct me if i'm wrong but Conway holds the #1 spot in the AP's and Central holds the #3 spot. Looks to me that your beloved West conference is falling apart (with the exception of springdale)
Posted on Sep 24, 2003, 10:55 PM from IP address 24.144.47.201
What week is this again, week 4? When the end of the season gets here, and the West has wrapped up another state title, I'll be sure to ask you about the rankings.
Oh yeah, what has the Central Conference done in the playoffs recently? Didn't they only advance 1 team out of the first round last year? And of that one, team that made it, didn't they get blown otu in the 2nd? Thought so.
Posted on Sep 25, 2003, 11:13 AM from IP address 66.233.134.167
Because everyone knows that polls 3 weeks into the season mean jack squat. Look at who has taken home 5 of the last 7 state championships. The 5A West. Outside of Conway, LR Central and Bryant this year, the rest fo the teams in that conf are weak.
Posted on Sep 25, 2003, 8:56 PM from IP address 66.233.134.167
Unfortunately I have to agree with you there. A conference has to prove its stature by producing title runs and the occasional title, which the Central conference has failed to do. I really hate that too because teams like Conway and Central are definitly in a "higher league" most years, yet their prep time for the playoffs is against teams that have good programs but just aren't on the same playing level as the teams they will face in the playoffs. I firmly believe it is why we exit the playoffs so early year in and year out. In many cases, we exit not because don't have what it takes, but because we have gone into a kind of lull period playing less competive teams, we lose our drive. But don't get me wrong, I don't believe we have had a team in any recent years worthy of a state title, but some of these first round games lost shouldn't have been.
Posted on Sep 26, 2003, 8:31 AM from IP address 170.94.58.110
So i know everybody thinks hillis is gonna run all over the tigers but you better think twice about that central has a great D-line think about big fred bledsoe and kenny walkweak there huge and then atwain robinson at end and they also have great linebackers so hillis numbers will go down after this friday but i need everybody to post some scores of who they think will win.
Posted on Sep 24, 2003, 5:17 PM from IP address 64.12.96.200
Don't kid yourself. I don't think there is anyone that thinks that Central's tough defense is going to allow Hillis the kind of yardage we have been accustomed to. But we do know Wardlow is good, and tomorrow night we are going to find out just how good. As pointed out in a previous post, Hillis has simply overshadowed the rest of the talent on this team, and I personally think we have what it takes to pick up the slack where needed tomorrow night. We will just have to wait and see. Either way it goes, both teams are superb and thats why Conway is where you want to be tomorrow night to personally witness some great Arkansas high school football! Go CATS!
Conway 21
Central 17

it seems like you two were the same ones to say that conway was gonna lose to cabot and russelville as well. You'll probably be 0 for 3 after tommorow night.

I drove over to Hope for this one and I was back in Prescott at 9:15. Hope is so Overated! You guys can win the rest of your games this season, but a Prescott lost makes you guys sick! I'll see you guys in Prescott next year. AAAA Supremacy does'nt mean anything to little ole AAA Prescott!

Honey, I don't know you from anybody, but I have read most of your posts and you have no clue. I have a lot of respect for Conway. Hillis is a great player. You have a real good quarterback also. But if you took Hillis out of the picture, for instance if he was hurt or for some other unforeseen reason, you would not have too much to brag about. As an overall team,without Hillis, you are just average. Go blow the smoke in some other direction. Let's look at the overall team, both defence and offense. This probably won't get through to you but I felt like I needed to voice my opinion, even if it is from a proud mother of a team that Conway has perviously "blown away" and Conway "gave them the last touchdown".
Posted on Sep 23, 2003, 6:37 PM from IP address 208.54.200.208
Talk about a lack of knowledge! Quite frankly, I don't see how anyone can predict what Conway will do without Hillis, as Hillis has taken the spotlight every game thus far. So, I would say we all should withhold a verdict until the "team" is tested, and yes they are a team "HONEY". That test will be Friday night so lets just wait and see, ok?
Posted on Sep 24, 2003, 11:21 AM from IP address 170.94.58.110
oh and by the way last year in the playoffs when we played northside. Hillis and wardlow both went down in the beginning of the third quarter w/ us trailing and we still came back to beat a great northside team in overtime. That right there proves that we can play w/o either of them.

I can't wait till bryant plays catholic this friday. There will be a whole lot of fine Mount st. Mary's girls at Bryant for everybody. If you want some fine mount girls come and watch Bryant play Catholic this friday night. I hope they will be looking better than the girls I saw down in Sheridan last week. I hear Catholic is alot better than last year with their new Coach from Eldorado. Can anybody fill me in on Catholics new and emproved team?
Posted on Sep 23, 2003, 5:45 PM from IP address 152.163.253.7
I can assure you there will be very few "fine" Mt.St.Mary's girls, anywhere. and if there are, odds are they wont be interested in the guys. i only speak the truth.
Posted on Sep 23, 2003, 8:11 PM from IP address 24.144.19.227
I have told people that Catholic is a better team this year they might not have the fast and strong player like some of these other schools but they got that good coach and that can make a difference
Posted on Sep 23, 2003, 9:29 PM from IP address 170.224.224.134
I was at the Hot Springs game last Friday and Catholic played very well. 31 to 7 at Trojanville! Hot Springs played confused all night. #12 on that Trojan squad is my nephew. He said they were never close on what Catholic was going to do. The Rockets are GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted on Sep 24, 2003, 3:14 PM from IP address 65.73.21.7
They drug Hot Springs last Friday. They have a good WR who has decent speed. A big RB in #47 and they are very disciplined. The 31 points they put on the Trojans
was modest, it could've been worse. Don't overlook the Rockets, they're not Warren.

Suprise, surprise, surprise Sgt. Carter! Arkadelphia has made it back on the scene in AAAA Southwest. Hope on the other hand has dropped off the radar screen. Badgers get a chance to prove themselves on the road again. Hope's defense has been down all year. If Coach Turner can get these guys turned around it could be a long night for the Badgers. But it won't happen Badgers 35 Bobcats 14

Who Will Russellville Play As Their 3rd Game Next Year?
by A Fan
I heard the Russellville and Searcy contract will be up and they will find new teams to play. Is that true? If so, who will Russellville play? please let me know.

your crazy bro, there is no way you can shut conway's offense down PERIOD. On the other hand you can hope to minimize it. I hear all this talk a/b the tigers defense, wheres the offense? didnt you guys only score ten against eldorado? you guys are gonna get handled-wait til saturday morning when everyone gets on to check all the new posts and your nowhere to be found.

hey are that good of a def. if you remember in 2000 when cabot played west memp. no one thought they were going to stop howard how is now playing for the hogs. they shut him down for 53 yards. that just goes to show that he cam be stop. if i do recall he had a hard time running againest them last year.
Posted on Sep 23, 2003, 6:40 AM from IP address 144.30.148.250
I agree with you. I know all too well how Central handicapped us last year as far as Peyton goes. Central will focus on Peyton first and foremost as any smart team should. I do however, believe that we are a much more well rounded team offensively than last year, though all the excitement over Hillis has overshadowed this up to this point. I guess Friday night will be the true test as to what Conway is made of. I fully believe that we have what it takes to pick up where needed. Regardless, this is going to be some great football. Go CATS!
Posted on Sep 23, 2003, 3:59 PM from IP address 170.94.58.110
why would a team who allowed somebody to run almost 400yds on them even say anything about defense hahahahah. central does have the best d in the state i think, and it won't be an easy game, but everybody is putting wwaaaaay to much hype on hillis, you key on him all night and i gurantee that kevin will blow by you and solberg will throw all over you, don't limit conway to one person b/c we probably have the most talented team in the state, and yes i just did say MOST TALENTED
Posted on Sep 23, 2003, 10:16 PM from IP address 24.144.47.221
You don't have to tell me our run defebnse sucks ass, because I already know it. That is probably the only weakness we have this year up to this point.
And lance, why should you be talking abotu who has a shot to win a championship when Conway hardly makes it out of the 1st round.
Posted on Sep 24, 2003, 9:14 AM from IP address 66.233.134.167
For central to win they will focus on hillis but be it known that warlow will be in the shadows waiting for his opening around the end & conway may pass a little too & believe me they can cause i seen them do it on cabot,for conway they will have to keep central defence on their toes alnight,mixing it up running inside,outside,throwing, cause central will try stopping hillis first & foremost & can central move the ball on conways defence.Half of van buran scoreing came on conways 2nd team.Special teams will be a important part in this game,keeping each other in bad feild position & so on.Another facter will be if conways coach smith don't get outcoach again.
Posted on Sep 22, 2003, 12:26 PM from IP address 216.63.180.73
i cant tell u dont know alot about conway football seein as how no team so far this year has even tried to stop hillis because kevin is a much easier task to stop if u try to stop hillis either way he is goin to get yards and focusing on him just makes it that much easier for kevin and again coach smith wont get outcoached he doesnt call the plays thats what an offensive coordinater if for
Posted on Sep 22, 2003, 5:27 PM from IP address 208.190.237.16
Knowing conway football has nothing to do with how central or any other team will defend conway.It may be easy to stop warlow but hillis is the one running over everyone & central will commit to stopping him first & they did just that last year& so did cabot in the playoffs last year so maybe you don't know about conway football or hillis.I know its a year later & he is alot more mature but central will commit to stopping him,anyone knows you can not give a guy 300 to 400 yards rushing & win.central will stack the line & move linebackers up on their d linemens rear & make conway through.central has the size & talent to stop hillis & win the battle on the line of scrimmage.As for smith then he needs a cordinator cause i seen some bonehead plays in the past from him ,smith or whoever you say but it all comes back to smith as head coach,like or not.
Posted on Sep 23, 2003, 12:20 PM from IP address 216.63.180.73
well i dont wanna hear that most of van burens points came on the second team they still should have not scored all that and anyways conway relies on hillis to carry them he is scoreing like 6 TD"S a game they are showing wardlow no love and he may be better but we might not ever find out about it cause there all on hillis but central will stop hillis and wardlow you just wait till friday boy!
Posted on Sep 24, 2003, 5:26 PM from IP address 64.12.96.200
Last friday I witnessed the worst excuse for a football team I've seen in my life. but nice facility. As for Central, I can't really give you guys my predictions on this friday's game b/c you'll try and make up a bunch of excuses on why Conway will lose and how overrated we are. All I can say is come friday, you fella's better lace'em up real tight or you'll end up like that poor fella from russelville who got a 20 yard piggy back ride into the end-zone from hillis. Go blue.
Posted on Sep 21, 2003, 11:57 PM from IP address 24.144.47.201
Maybe you should stop taking some hard hits to the head because the safety didn't get carried into the end zone you fool. Hillis was tackled at the 1 or 2.
Posted on Sep 22, 2003, 12:04 AM from IP address 66.233.134.167
Tigers 20 yards because he won't be on his feet that much. Centrals D-line is composed of real men. Hillis couldn't run on them last year when they were babies.
Posted on Sep 22, 2003, 9:33 AM from IP address 12.4.146.123
Although I hope you aren't right about shutting down Hillis completely, I definitely agree that this is going to be one tough ballgame. As a Conway fan who was there last year when you guys almost took the game with a number of sophmores, I don't think anyone is underestimating the kind of talent the Tigers have this year. I heard a quote from Coach Cox saying that this is by far the best all around D-Line he has had in all the years he has been at Central High. Would you agree with that statement? Those are big words, but I have the utmost respect for Coach Cox and for him to say that...well, I have to believe it's true.

YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY ONE OF THOSE TYPE OF FOOTBALL FANS THAT JUST LOOKS AT THE SCORE. DOES VAN BUREN BLOW? IF YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT FOOTBALL, THAN YES. BUT WHAT YOU DON'T REALIZE IS THIS TEAM WHICH HAPPENS TO BE IN THE AAAAA IS SPORTING ONLY ABOUT 10 SENIORS ON VARSITY. THERE ARE ANYWHERE FROM 8-12 10TH GRADE BOYS PLAYING VARSITY FOR VAN BUREN ON FRIDAY NIGHTS. SOMETIMES 3 OF THE LINEMEN ON THE FIELD AT ANY GIVEN TIME IS A SOPHMORE. SIZE AND INEXPERIENCE IS HURTING VAN BUREN AND NOW YOU KNOW WHY. THESE JUNIORS AND SOPHMORES ARE GAING SOME VALUABLE PLAYING TIME AND EXPERIENCE. REMEMBER THESE ARE KIDS PLAYING AND DON'T NEED IDIOTS LIKE YOU PUTTING THEM DOWN. GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT THEN COME TALK FOOTBALL. OH, BY THE WAY, DID YOU LOOK AT THE TOTAL STATS FOR THE GAME?
Posted on Sep 24, 2003, 11:06 AM from IP address 198.26.126.12
this is goin to be a big game for both teams i think central is goin to be looking great because most of thier starting d is returning but the question is can they stop hillis inside and catch wardlow outside.
conway had a hard time stopping the option last week against van buren but 1st d only gave up 13 points. van buren got a couple of TD's late in the game on the 2nd and 3rd string defense. if conway has a problem this game its defensively and it will be the pass not the run.... oh and conway is playing at home look for a huge turnout from the conway fans rain or shine...
central 12
conway 27
Posted on Sep 21, 2003, 10:00 PM from IP address 24.144.62.101
i admit this ts the week we find out if hillis is as good as we all think,nobody has found a way to stop him yet,i think the key is to cause problem on the offencesive line by shooting your D line into the gaps& play your linebackers up close but then you are commiting to hillis & warlow may burn around the ends,so your ends will have to fast & have a good game:conway 21,central 17
Posted on Sep 22, 2003, 10:29 AM from IP address 216.63.180.73
not to be rude u saw both teams beat ur team yes and if i rememeber correctly we beat u 20-0 and they beat u 14-0 oh yeah and conway managed that with 5 turnovers it just seems a litte hard to say conway couldnt have scored 40 on you if they kept they ball off the ground and since then all the fumble problems have ultimately be stopped
Posted on Sep 22, 2003, 5:23 PM from IP address 208.190.237.16
Cabot also had 6 or 7 turnovers also. They only had 4 against central. And from my understanding Conway scored most of those points from cabots turnovers. So I agree that conway will have a hard time scoring against central.
Posted on Sep 23, 2003, 11:51 AM from IP address 66.205.97.150
I was poitn out that against a good defense, they didn't maintain very long scoring drives. Against a good defense, they have yet to show that they can move the ball down the field eating clock.
Posted on Sep 23, 2003, 2:47 PM from IP address 66.233.134.167
I dont care if cabot didnt score any points off of conways turnovers. The point is that everyone thinks thats Conway is going to score all these points against central but its not going to happen. Central has the best defense I have seen this year and better than any I had seen last year. If conway had a hard time moving the ball against Cabot there is no way they can score against Central. Central also had a hard time moving the ball against cabot so I'm sure they will have a hard time with Conway. Point is that its going to be a defensive game and there isnt going to be many points put on the board. Central 10
Conway 7
Posted on Sep 23, 2003, 5:12 PM from IP address 66.136.236.153
I went to the Conway/Cabot game & Conway did move the ball on Cabot. Hillis may not of had 300 plus yards but he did run on you,they also passed on you.Feild position will a important factor in this game.Conway20,Central 7.i don't think Central has a offence
Posted on Sep 23, 2003, 9:11 PM from IP address 65.66.76.83
If I remember correctly (and I could be wrong), Sullivan reported on the Saturday Morning HS Football Show that Central scored both times on turnovers. So you could read something into that, but personally I choose not to. I think this whole comparison b/t "our score, your score" with Cabot is rediculous. We all know anything can happen on any given night and each Friday brings a new ballgame. Lets talk about what is going to happen this week and that's some top notch Central Conference football! Go CATS!

The reason I say that PA is over-rated is because those two teams are ok and the media and the press tries to make it seem like PA is the top school in the world with its high powered offense and 6-d1 recruits and they play springdale which is a top team I will say but if you have all this talent supposedly then you would not get beat 62-0 i think that it also shows the Difference between 5a and the rest
Posted on Sep 21, 2003, 6:42 PM from IP address 170.224.224.38
Line play. Springdale dominated the lines all game long and no matter how many possible D-1 players you have on your team at the skill positions, if you can't get it don'e in the trenches, then they will never get to show their colors.
Everyone is so quick to point out the 62-0 loss to Springdale, but almost any team from class AAA woudl have beaten just as bad that day. Nobody talks abotu shutting out the defending class 4A Champions or doing something no other AAA team has done the past 2 years, Beat Warren. Not only beat, but took them to the woodshed.
People are so quick to focus on the negatives even if their is enough good to displace the bad.
Posted on Sep 21, 2003, 7:44 PM from IP address 66.233.134.167
Dude, the media NEVER said that PA could beat any 5A team, especially Springdale, so shut up man. All the media said is PA is the best their is in AAA. You guys realy need to stop dogin PA and tell me 1 team that could beat PA in AAA, cause their's not one.
Posted on Sep 22, 2003, 12:37 PM from IP address 64.12.96.200
i will agree with two of those but PA which i do not like has show they are for real,sure springdale had their number because pa talent is at the QB,RB & REC.position,their line is good but not colleges type,spingdale has good talent all over. as for rison, beating bearden helps their stock alot. i think class 2a will come down too them or barton,i heard hootens would like to match rison up in the classic next year.i would like to see them with prescott or nashville or even a alma or wynne.i would also like to see barton or mcgehee against a bigger class school.how about harding acad.,vilonia,bauxite or central,or get jenks Oaklahoma in it for a change like they did marshall tex a few years ago.
Posted on Sep 22, 2003, 11:02 AM from IP address 216.63.180.73
not pa or rison,pa maynot have play good against spingdale but when stepping down to their class has proven their for real,spingdale beat them on the line of scrimmage where pa is not that talented,their talent lies in QB,RB,REC..as for rison, beating bearden helps their stock.in 2a it will all come down to them or barton winning the state.i hear hootens would like to match rison up in the classic next year with prescot or nashville.i would like to see thembring in some new blood to the classic,like alma,harding acad.,central,vilonia,bauxite or even a jenks oaklahoma like they did marshall tex last year.how about marshall tex against cabot or fs southside or jenks oaklahoma vs conway or central.i would have love to see conway vs mashall tex,or cental vs jenks ok this year.

You can't judge a team after 2 hard fought rival games. It wouldn't matter if Benton and Sheridan didn't win a single game the whole year, they would still play like champions against Bryant. Last year, Bryant only beat by 3 points in a non conference game at War Memorial Stadium. Then, the only games Bryant lost last year were to McClellan by 6 points, Central by only 1 point, THEN BEAT #1 RANKED CONWAY, and lost to West Memphis by 1 touchdown. That's a pretty good season after only beating benton by 3 points, don't you think. So, just wait till Bryant plays Central and Conway, then judge them, OK!!
Posted on Sep 22, 2003, 12:32 PM from IP address 64.12.96.200
Now I really think that Central D-line is too strong for the Bryant O-line also Central's offense should be in good shape in three weeks and the game will be at central this year I just dont see Bryant pulling off the upset does anyone feel the same way
Posted on Sep 21, 2003, 2:36 PM from IP address 66.119.34.39
Well looking at my paper today and looking at you statement there seems to be a problem we dont play Springdale this Friday We play the #4 team in the state Conway at Conway now we are playing the Number 1 backfeild in the state I will give you that but all talk should be done on the feild. and I am looking to play in a very good game friday maybe the game of the year #2 Little Rock Central at #4 Conway high
please dont let those wins that you have gotten in the first couple of weeks blind you into thinking that you are going to be playing in the championship this year because we have made some noise also Eldo lost to Fort Smith by 2 points but when we went down to their place shutout same with Cabot Dont you feel a pattern here I do.
Ha Ha good luck
It will be a great game
Posted on Sep 21, 2003, 5:03 PM from IP address 66.119.34.39
I don't think Central has played a team that has a powerfull passing offence Bryant has. Scott Peeler is a Big dude at QB, who already has 997 yards passing in his first 3 games as a starter. That's pretty impressive. He's not afraid to run and duck his head to take a hit. Plus, he has a very powerfull arm and some extremely talented recievers in #2 Zack Cardinal and #20 Richie Wood. I can see Scott throwing for at least 250 yards against Central, since he is averaging 332 passing yards a game. I can't say much at all for Bryant's Deffense, so Central will probably score at least 21 points. As for Centrals D, WOW!!! Shutting Eldorado down to less than 50 total yards is amazing. It should be a great game, and I'll be their to watch it. Last year Central beat Bryant by only 1 point, so bryant will be wanting some revenge. I'm rooting for Central to beat Conway this weak.

I think Central will win this one to de-throne Conway from the 1 seed and the central championship. The Tigers have played 3 very tough football teams and have only given up 6 points total. Held El Dorado to around 50 yards of total offense and have been very stout in the other 2. Conway giving up 34 points to Van Buren is a little eye raising.
Central wins this one 21-20 in a very early prediction.

Van Buren did score 34 against Conway, but the starting defense only allowed 13. The Cats fumbled a punt inside their own 10 which was returned for a touchdown, and the defensive backups played the entire 4th quarter and gave up a couple late TD's. Central vs Conway will perhaps be the game of the year statewide, but if you ask me, Centrals' year to win it all will be next season when they return nearly all of their key players. Central has a tremendous defense this season and have put up some impressive numbers, however they havent played the classic Thunder/Lightning duo of Peyton Hillis and Kevin Wardlow. Also, this game will be played at John Mcconnell Stadium in front of a HUGE pro-conway crowd, so I like the Cats in a close one.
LR Central 13
Conway 17

Granted Central hasn't played a thunder/lightning, they seem to have done pretty well aganist thunders so far this season. Granted, none of those thunders we're as great as Hillis is. I do think that Central will still when. They have played a much tougher schedule so far and their defense is stout.

I believe you ppl have been doubting us since the cabot game. I dont know what it's gonna take to make believers out of you (since w's aren't enough) You'll see. The rest of our games from here on out are cake (with the exception of bryant) Cant wait for the playoffs.

Central is a force to be reckoned with that's a fact..6pts allowed in 3 games against 3 REAL good teams,they're top 25 team in mid-west, shut out west memphis & shutdown their running back (my opinion 2nd best in the state) also they run a wing-t just like conway, they're very fast, very young, very good, i expect them to win the championship NEXT year. Conway has probably the most dominating backfield in the state w/ Hillis and Wardlow. Hillis is a man among boys when he runs and there's not a line big enough in the state to just completely stop him. Wardlow is running a 4.3 and if he gets a break he's quick, strong, and is hard to bring down. Conway also has Solberg (my opinion one of the most underrated qb's in the state) which gives them the option of throwing the ball. This will be a game to remember regardless of the outcome, but since it's in the Jungle i give Conway the win! Go Cats!

yeah conway may have given up 34 points to a weak van buren team but only 13 were given up by first team defense and central had 8 points scored on them in the first game get ur stats right

If you looked and watched the game you would have seen that the td that west memphis had scored was on the 1 yoard line because Mickey had fumbled and it took WM 3 plays to score
