Prairie Grove searching for significant win

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.

1-4A race tightens

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 […]

Mahoney’s big leg paying dividends

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.

Showdown in Farmington

The outcome of Friday’s Prairie Grove-Farmington tilt will probably decide the 1-4A Conference champ. Expect more offense than last year’s 7-6 slugfest won by Farmington

Looking for a spark

Farmington’s defense has been great the last two games. Its offense — not so much. The Cardinals are hoping to improve their scoring output against Gentry this week.
The Pioneers, it should be noted, surrendered 57 points to Elkins earlier this year.
Here’s what wide receiver/tailback Brandon Miller had to say about the offensive struggles:
“It’s tough putting […]

Friday Night Forecast

It’s a beautiful day in the Ozarks and it’s going to be a fabulous night for football.
According to weather.com, it should be partly cloudy and a comfortable 70 degrees at kickoff tonight. Temperatures could dip down to 62 for the drive home around 10 p.m.

Pleasant Surprise

Tailback Jairemy Smith has been a pleasant surprise this season for Farmington. Against Ozark in the Cardinals’ 15-13 victory last Friday, Smith rushed for 146 yards on 13 carries. He’s now averaging more than 10 yards per rush in 2007.
“Jairemy and Brandon Miller ran the ball really well for us the other night,” Farmington coach […]

Get out the rain gear

The great thing about football is that there are no rainouts, but then again fans have to put up with wet weather.
Tonight is one of those nights.
The forecast is calling for temperatures to be a muggy 81 degrees at kickoff with scattered thundershowers.
So be sure to take a raincoat, poncho, rain boot and a hat […]
