The Prairie Grove Tigers have devoured the softer part of their schedule, taking advantage of the league’s lesser halfs to clinch an 11th-straight playoff berth. A win Friday at conference champion Gravette will give the Tigers the big win they’ve been looking for all year.
An inexperienced offensive line has made West Fork one dimensional on offense, forcing it to rely almost exclusively on the passing of junior quarterback Daniel Holiday. He and multi-purpose threat Taylor Genz and receiver/defensive end Eddie Frazier, whose nine sacks lead the team, have provided leadership for the young Tigers.
Beating up on the 1-4A Conference’s also-rans have Prairie Grove poised for the playoffs again. Winning next week at first-place Gravette will mean more. The Tigers haven’t beaten a team with a winning record this year. A win over the Lions is the boost they need to propel them into the playoffs.

West Fork faces a tough challenge this Friday at Shiloh Christian. However, next week’s game with Green Forest is more significant. That game will probably decide if West Fork goes to the playoffs for a third straight year.

Since falling 52-20 to Gravette in Week 4, Tracy Sutton’s Greenland Pirates have been on a scoring spree. Greenland has won three games in a row, outscoring their opponents, 150-45.
The points may not come as easy in the Pirates’ game with Prairie Grove a 7 tonight. Danny Abshier’s Tigers are only allowing 11 points a […]
Relying on stingy defense, effective running and efficient passing, Prairie Grove’s won four of its last five games. Its recent good form has it poised for the playoffs, giving the Tigers a string of postseason appearances that dates back to 1997.
A loss to second-place Mountainburg took a lot out of West Fork, but the Tigers can still advance to the playoffs for a third-straight year. Winning two of their last three games should punch their ticket
Prairie Grove can improve to 3-1 in the 1-4A conference with a win at Berryville (3-3, 1-2). The victory will give Prairie Grove a share of second place with the loser of the Gravette-Farmington game, a battle for first place, and Greenland if the Pirates beat Huntsville. It will also keep Prairie Grove among the […]
Jeremy Mahoney is Farmington’s new secret weapon. The sophomore placekicker has been responsible for providing scoring opportunities for his team that normally wouldn’t be there and giving opponents bad field position. The Cardinals play Gravette tonight and Mahoney may play a pivotal role.
