2023 High School Football

[won nutt hung lo]

Drove through the high school for the first time in decades last time I was home.  That school is really freaking nice and good sports facilities too.  Very impressive for a small town school.

But, how do the Elkins facilities look?

They have always pissed excellence in academics since I rolled through there...so that wasn't a concern of mine.  The sports facilities were pretty sub-par so it is good to see them upping their game there.

Honestly, in NWA any school from 4A up has greatly improved facilities over the last 10 years. Most are artificial turf and new fields. All the 3A, 2A are about the same as they were 25 yrs ago.

First 7th grade football game last night. Pushed back 2 hours to 7:30 due to the heat.

They played 2 15 minute halves. Roster of 65 kids and only about 30 got to play.

And Bentonville charged $5 per person to get in to the stadium... That's some bullshit when you take the whole family to the game and your kid doesn't even get to play the 30 minutes they were out there.

I've always felt bad for kids at big schools. There is only so much playing time to go around. Imagine trying to be one of the 11 kids to get on the court in a school on 2500.

A QB to watch out for: Springdale Central Jr high 8th grader. No idea who he is, but he throws like a polished high school player. Accurate tight spiral, kids of Arn strength. During the 7th grade scrimmage I was watching him instead of the 7th graders.

Well that is one way to get the player's attention... (and lose your job)...

Anyone watch the BS High documentary about the fake school from a few years back?

I only casually followed that while it was in the news cycle originally; was surprised to find out how much of a narcissistic scumbag that guy was that spearheaded that whole deal.

Dude is an absolute piece of shit, and pretty much laughs at what he did.

Another 7th grade game. Team is up 5 TD's in the third, still no 2nd team kids getting to play.

Kid went down with an arm/elbow injury 20 minutes ago. Still on the field, had to wait on an ambulance, medics, and a gurney to come get him off the field.

This coach is a piece of shit.

What school?

[BASS]

Hellstern in Springdale.

They finally started putting 2nd string in in the 4th quarter. 65 kids on that team, 25+ never got on the field. Coach can eat a bag of dicks.

Who's the coach?

[BASS]

His name is Zack Wiggins, he's new. The coach they had quit over the summer and this guy came in right before school started.

PA getting its ass beat at home. 
Down 35-16 3rd quarter to Madison Ridgeline Academy from Mississippi. 

Looking like the first PA home loss in a very long time. 

[Gambler]

Horrible call in Conway  and Bentonville game. Called block in back. Conway loses TD, coach gets 15. Conway held on downs. Bentonville with the ball, down 35-32. 6 minutes  to go.

[Spiderham]

PA with back to back scores and now gets its first onside kick of the night. 
Late 3rd quarter. 
MRA 35
PA.   28
