7th Grade Tigers Send Lincoln Howling Home

It’s not about how many times you fall, it’s about how many times you get back up. After a heartbreaking last-minute loss to Charleston last week, it can be said that the Mansfield 7th Grade team was down in the dumps a little. They knew they were better than that game. But how would they prove it? Well, would demolishing a Lincoln Wolves team from the first snap until the final horn count? If so, consider the Tigers to be standing back up roaring louder than ever after their 34-14 victory over the Wolves.

Dawson “Dyno-mite” Robinson takes one of his 4 touchdowns to the house

Starting out on offense, the 7th Grade Tigers knocked off the chip on their shoulder quickly as Zander Walters took the first handoff and ran directly into the Wolves for 12 yards. On the very next snap, Dawson Robinson left Lincoln chasing their tails as he burnt downfield for a 55-yard touchdown. It took only two plays and 27 seconds for Mansfield to pull ahead to a 6-0 lead. The offense stood up, but what about the Tigers defense that gave up big passing plays and 22 points last week? Consider that question answered on Lincoln’s first play as their quarterback reared back to pass the ball but was chopped down by Alex “AxMan” Hecox. The Tigers sent Lincoln back to the sidelines after a quick three and out as Mansfield’s offense took over. Lincoln was so focused on Walters’ powerful ground and pound game, that they forgot all about Robinson. With a play-action fake to Walters from QB Cooper Edwards, Robinson took the handoff and, yet again, took off on a Dawson Dart for 44-yards and another touchdown. On the two-point conversion, the Wolves packed the box to shut down the Tigers dynamic duo only to be fooled when Cooper Edwards pulled the ball and lasered a pass to Dominic Shores for the extra points putting Mansfield up 14-0.

Bausley and Hecox whipping the Wolves offensive line

Mansfield’s defense took one on the chin when the Wolves struck with a deep pass for a touchdown, but that might have just made the Tigers mad. When your hot, your hot, but Dawson Robinson was downright nuclear Thursday night. Here’s how it worked. Handoff to Walters for a first down. Repeat that play as Lincoln takes the bait. Then hand the ball to Robinson, kick back, and watch the fireworks as Robinson set Mansfield’s police departments radar guns crazy going for another top speed touchdown this time for 43-yards. The Tigers defense must’ve been in competition with their offensive counterparts. It was Tiger turnover time as Mansfield’s Dominic Shores, Joey Fildes, and Ethan Martin swatted down passes like pesky fly’s while James Bausley, Hecox, Walters, and Robinson applied pressure on the Wolves’ backfield. Like an old cassette tape, the Tigers offense hit rewind and sent Robinson into the endzone with another big run of 36-yards. Traevin Copeland snatched an Edwards pass to tack on the two-point conversion sending the Tigers into the half with a commanding 28-8 score.

Coach Tolton giving the Tiger troops their orders

Mansfield’s defense started the second half on defense and the Tigers made the best of that opportunity. Right out of the gate, Copeland nearly intercepted a Wolves pass as the Tigers forced a three and out. Mansfield’s offense uncharacteristically turned over the ball on a fumble which put their defense right back on the field but not for long. Mansfield forced a fumble on the ensuing play and Ethan Martin snatched up the ball and did a “Martin March” on his way to 57-yards downfield for a defensive score. After the score, the Wolves offense came back on the field but to no avail. Wyatt Boyd smeared Lincolns running back on their first play and was followed up by Robinson doing the same thing but this time to the Wolves’ quarterback. Lincoln pulled off a touchdown run with 1:45 left in the game to bring the score to 34-14. As the Tigers defense started the game with a Hecox quarterback sack, they would end it in the same fashion as Hecox ran down the Wolves quarterback and finished the game as it started. The final score after the dust settled was Mansfield 34 Lincoln 14.

Ethan Martin with the exhilarating defensive scoop and score

The 7th Grade Tigers now stand at 3-1 in conference play. The game against Lincoln showed great balance on both sides of the ball as well as the player’s impeccable abilities under pressure. With Lavaca on the slate for next week, Mansfield will take the upcoming week practicing with quick feet and fast reaction timing as they travel to Lavaca and aim to dodge the Golden Arrows on Thursday, October 22nd.  

The Tigers defense makes another one bite the dust

Paris Ends Conference Season Undefeated…and the #2 Seed in District Tournament…

Paris Ends Conference Season Undefeated…and the #2 Seed in District Tournament…

It is a year for the history books. A team finishes undefeated in conference play, but will not enter the post-season conference tournament as the top seed in the conference. And if that was not enough to consider, consider the fact that an undefeated and tournament #2 seed Paris will now potentially have to play the team that was given the #1 seed…again…on their home court. But like I said in my last article, that is a story for another time. As soon as district tournament brackets are released, Resident Press will publish them for our readers.

Paris traveled to West Fork on Thursday night and made short work of the Lady Tigers in their final regular season conference game. The Lady Eagles completed an undefeated regular season conference schedule by defeating West Fork 3-0. As has been reported at length by now, the Lady Eagles have been penalized by not being able to play missed games due to the team being forced into COVID quarantine. Paris lost the top seed in the district tournament due to circumstances beyond their control, and now, it appears that they have more than likely lost the opportunity to play the top seeds in the district tournament on a neutral site.

The district tournament, originally scheduled to be played at Booneville High School, has now been divided among different sites within the conference to reduce the risk of COVID transmission. Rather than multiple schools and their players and fans coming to one place from all around the region, the tournament is being physically divided into games that will be played at different sites. Information is sketchy at this time, and Resident Press hopes to have this clarified by the weekend, but it is being discussed that the top seed will hold the home court advantage in the tournament. If that is true, it is possible that Paris will have to go to Hackett to play in the tournament finals. Paris played the Lady Hornets at Hackett earlier in the year and defeated the Lady Hornets. The return match in Paris was never played, and due to what appears to be a questionable format to this year’s tournament seedings and game sites, Paris will once again have to play Hackett on their home court.

If Paris ends up playing in the finals at Hackett, it should be noted to everyone that these are tournament games, not home games for the teams in the tournament. Much like the collegiate NCAA basketball tournament, games are played at school campuses around the country, but they are considered neutral during the tournament, and are no longer home courts, but host sites for the tournament. If this is truly the case, then all factors concerning the games should be managed according to tournament protocol and procedures, such as both schools being allotted equal numbers of tickets, and not one school making a decision to limit the visiting schools’ tickets to favor their own fans. In fact, a conference chairperson and his or her subordinates should monitor each site to make sure all teams and their fans are treated fairly. Just my opinion, but it seems to be common sense to me that is consistent with other championship tournaments.

Again, once firm information about all of these issues is known, Resident Press will report them for our readers. Stay tuned folks.

On a positive note, Paris appears to be hitting their stride and regaining the lost momentum due to the unexpected layoff. Now that the season has been completed, the Lady Eagles will make a quick trip to Hot Springs on Saturday afternoon to play the Class 4A Fountain Lake Lady Cobras in a varsity only, non-conference match. It should be a great match that is highly competitive and will be a good warm-up for the Lady Eagles as they prepare for the district tournament next week. On Thursday night, there did not seem to be a lot of nonsense in the Lady Eagles’ game, just pure domination to complete the sweep of West Fork and to take one more step in their preparation for post-season play.

So stay with Resident Press as all of this continues to unfold in the wild, wild, 3A West. A lot can happen between today and next Friday…by the end of next week, we will know state seeds from the 3A West that will be playing in the state tournament. From a players’ perspective, the fatigue that goes with a long season is now down to two critical weeks. Every potential playoff team in every conference across the state is just two weeks away from possibly playing for and being crowned as a state champion.

There promises to be a lot of fireworks over the next two weeks before we have a 3A state champion, and Resident Press will be there all the way to bring you all of booms, bangs, and spectacular images of what is the great sport of championship high school volleyball!

Additional pictures of the Lady Eagles victory at West Fork will be posted on Facebook at Paris Eagles Sports by Friday afternoon. I hope you enjoy them, and I will see you Saturday in Hot Springs!

City Council members approved a plan for the City of Greenwood to purchase 10 acres of land from Farmer’s Bank, located directly behind the Greenwood Water Treatment plant.

This land is the proposed site of new solar panels, which will supply energy to all Greenwood Municipal buildings. The price for the land has been agreed on, and a closing date is pending.

While yearly usage may vary, savings is estimated at $50-$75k per year. Furthermore, over the 30-year contract, savings are estimated at 2.5 million!

The company supplying the panels, “Scenic Solar,” were on-site October 14 preparing the land survey. Estimated completion dates are late 2020, or spring 2021.

Financial Director Tom Marsh stated that he is proud the city is reducing it’s carbon footprint and doing their part to “Go Green.”

6 Signs It’s Time for a New Couch

6 Signs It’s Time for a New Couch

A couch is usually the most popular piece of furniture in a home, since it’s the place where you get to unwind after a long day. However, some people don’t know when it’s time to get a new couch. An old, worn couch can affect your comfort and the interior design of your home. Become well-versed with the signs it’s time for a new couch listed below.

You Sink into It

The easiest way to tell it’s time for a new couch is when you start to sink into it. Couches should be comfortable, but they shouldn’t eat you, either. Sinking into a couch can lead to back problems and make it harder for you to comfortably position yourself. Over time, the cushions of your couch are bound to wear down, so when this eventually happens—make the move and replace the couch.

Its Appearance Has Changed

You can also pinpoint the need for a new couch if you notice some drastic changes in its appearance. The color of the couch might be fading, the fabric may be fraying, or the leather might be cracking. Couches can take a beating, and a change in appearance is nothing unusual, but it’s definitely a signal that it’s time for a new one.

You Don’t Have Not Enough Space for It

Not having enough space in your home is another sign it’s time for a new couch. You usually run into this issue when you move into a new home and you’re looking to take your old furniture with you. However, you might have underestimated the new space, and having furniture that’s too big can make it difficult for you to navigate the area.

There Are Strange Odors

Another problem you might run into with your couch is strange odors. As we mentioned earlier, your furniture can go through a lot with how much use can come from it, and this can result in strange odors living underneath the cushions. This is where regular cleaning and care comes in handy, but sometimes the damage has already been done and there’s no saving your stinky couch.

You Hear Creaking Noises

Some loud sounds might also be coming from your couch. Creaking noises usually come from structural damage. If you find structural damage with your couch, you can go the repair route, but you could also replace it, which can be a more affordable option in some cases.

Your Décor Has Changed

You might run into an issue where your interior decorating has changed and your couch no longer fits with the look you’re going for. This sign might be a harder one to detect, but taking a step back and observing how aesthetically pleasing the room looks can be the best way to identify if you need new furniture.

Invisible Home Improvements That Add Value to a Property

Invisible Home Improvements That Add Value to a Property

When aiming to increase the value of their homes, many homeowners think about making obvious improvements that will change the appearance of their homes. For example, they may coat their walls in fresh paint or install new appliances. However, many types of home improvements that aren’t as plain to the eye can also increase property value. DIY renovators often forget about such invisible improvements, but they’re highly attractive to potential buyers. To learn about some of the best invisible home improvements that add value to a property, continue reading.

Upgrading Your Home’s Insulation

Upgrading your home’s insulation is one of the best invisible home improvements you can make to increase the value of your property. Investing in high-quality insulation will improve the comfort of a space by preventing warm air from entering or exiting the area. As a result, your home will be able to maintain a consistent temperature without any random drafts or hot spots.

In addition to improving comfort, quality insulation can also greatly increase the energy-efficiency of a space. By reducing the amount of air that enters or leaves the home, the amount of energy your air conditioner or heater has to expend to keep the home at a comfortable temperature decreases. As a result, your monthly energy bill may greatly decrease.

Soundproofing Your Walls and Ceiling

Another invisible home improvement that adds value to a property is soundproofing the walls and ceiling. A home with paper-thin walls that allows you to hear every small noise that occurs throughout the house will likely be unattractive to potential buyers. Thin walls are especially unappealing if your home is located in a noisy area—such as next to a busy road—where outside sounds can become highly distracting. In any case, taking the time to soundproof your home by investing in acoustic panels, adding a layer of drywall, or replacing thin doors and windows can create a more comfortable and appealing environment for buyers, which will likely be reflected in the property’s overall value. 

Installing a State-of-the-Art Security System

Installing a quality security system is also highly attractive to many buyers, and it can increase the value of one’s home. Investing in a state-of-the-art security system is especially beneficial if your property is in the luxury market or in an area that isn’t particularly safe.

In addition to providing an added sense of safety for the homeowner, having a quality security system in place can also lower insurance premiums, as many insurance companies prefer to insure homes that are more secure. Such benefits will likely increase the value of your property and help your home sell more quickly when the time comes.

WCFL Programs Getting Hot As The Weather Gets Colder

WCFL Programs Getting Hot As The Weather Gets Colder

Going into Week 5, every program in the West Central Football League had a shot at making the playoffs. As a very competitive league, this is nothing new for the WCFL programs. Week 5 was the dividing factor though as teams began to separate from just being one of the six teams making the playoffs, to the seeding process.

On the 3rd and 4th Grade level, Week 5 ended with two undefeated teams as Mansfield and Mountainburg aim to make another run for the WCFL Championship. The last time these two mixed things up, it was in the 2019 WCFL Championship game where Mansfield edged out the Dragons. Since that game, both programs have been on a roll like butta. The Tigers hosted JC Westside last Saturday and ran away with a 38-0 victory over the JC Westside Rebels. Not to be outdone, the Dragons rolled into West Fork and won 28-0. Both teams will put their 4-0 winning streaks on the line Saturday, October 17th when Mountainburg heads south into Tiger territory in what should be an epic game. After this clash of the 3rd and 4th Grade Titans, both teams will travel away from home to face their rivals as Mountainburg will head to Cedarville in a battle for the Little League Treasure Chest and Mansfield will go west to battle for the Sebastian County Rivalry Trophy against Hackett.

The Hackett Hornets currently sit in 3rd place having only lost to Mountainburg. The Hornets were able to narrowly swarm past Cedarville 14-6 last Saturday. Hackett currently has a record of 3-1 but still has a tough road ahead as they travel to Lavaca this week and then host the Mansfield Tigers for the end of regular seasons Rivalry Week on Saturday, October 24th. Hackett is always a tough card to draw for anyone so although their remaining games may seem difficult, never count out the Hornets. Sitting in the middle of the pack is JC Westside. The Rebels currently have a 2-3 record, but don’t let that fool you. They have lost two of those three games in a very close fashion and their other loss was to Mansfield last Saturday. With their final week of regular season play being a bye week due to Magazine being out this season, Saturday’s game will solidify the Rebels playoff stance.

West Fork and Lavaca are tied, having a record of 1-3 each. With both teams having two of their three losses being against Mansfield and Mountainburg, they could be able to split the tie this weekend or when they square off against each other on Saturday, October 17th when the Golden Arrows head due north to play the Tigers. The Pirates of Cedarville currently sit in last place in the 3rd and 4th level with a record of 0-4, but with only six teams in the 3rd and 4th Grade this season, the Pirates will still make the playoffs. That being said, they are not going to just lay down. Cedarville will look to take down JC Westside this weekend and then head to Dragon territory to try to upset their rivals, Mountainburg.

At the 5th and 6th Grade level of the WCFL, it’s every team for themselves as the shake-up for the playoffs continues into Week 6. Mansfield sits alone at the top with a 5-0 record. The Tigers have taken the league by storm this season after coming up short in the 2019 Championship against Magazine. With a high powered offense and punishing defense, Mansfield aims to finish the season with a win against Mountainburg and then retain the Mackey/Campbell Rivalry Trophy when they square off against the Hackett Hornets. Records almost don’t count when the Tigers and Hornets play because no matter what, that matchup is always a slobber knocker of a game. Hot on the Tiger’s tail is Lavaca who has taken a winning run since their loss to Mansfield. That being their only loss in the season, the Golden Arrows will take aim at finishing the season at the #2 seed. That will be quite the test though as Lavaca still has Hackett this upcoming Saturday then faceoff against a hot West Fork team to close out the regular season.

Right on the heels of the Golden Arrows is West Fork and Mountainburg. Both sit at a record of 3-2 with the Dragons holding the tiebreaker after last week’s 22-0 victory over the Tigers. There’s still a lot of football to play though as both teams could mathematically have a shot at the #3 seed. The Dragons have lost to Mansfield and Lavaca and West Fork fell to Mansfield and Mountainburg. The Tigers still have a feisty Magazine team this week and Lavaca in the final week. They would have to win both games and have a Mountainburg loss to solidify their spot at the #3 seed while the Dragons can hold onto the #3 seed by winning out-beating Mansfield and Cedarville or go 1-1 if West Fork loses a game in the next two weeks. Either way you look at it, the #3 seed is a battle. This could become even more intriguing if Lavaca drops both of their next two games possibly opening the #2 slot for either West Fork or Mountainburg.

Both the JC Westside Rebels and the Cedarville Pirates are tied up at 2-3 this season. The easiest way to solve that tie is on the field and that will happen this Saturday as the Rebels take their camp to the stormy seas of Cedarville. Both teams have had their fair share of nail-biting games this season with the solid defenses holding the line for the programs. On the outside looking in is Hackett who with a couple of wins and some help from those ahead of them, could crash someone’s party and make it in the top 6 teams. The Hornets have the top two teams to close out their schedule as they will go to Lavaca this weekend and will try to use home-field advantage and some hard-nosed football to take back the Mackey/Campbell Rivalry Trophy from Mansfield on October 24th. The 2019 defending WCFL Champs, the Magazine Rattlers, will have a rough road to make the playoffs this season as they sit at 0-5. The Rattlers will have to step up and travel to beat both West Fork and JC Westside while also needing Hackett, Cedarville, and JC Westside to drop all of their final games to have a chance to make it into the final 6. With Cedarville holding the tiebreaker and West Fork and JC Westside left on their schedule, it’s a chance they’ll gladly take. Although the champs are down, Magazine is a team that can strike without warning so it’s not impossible.

With only two weeks left in regular season play, as amazing as it seems, it’s still anyone’s game at both levels of the WCFL to make the playoffs. The league was made for small schools to play in a competitive league. That being said, this is about as competitive as it gets. Now we just wait to see what Week 6 and these great programs bring us.

Bulldogs Set To Host Cyclones

The undefeated Greenwood Bulldogs welcome in a 1-5 Russellville team this Friday evening at Smith Robinson Stadium.

The Cyclones may be shouldering a 1-5 record by they are no strangers to the end zone as they come in averaging 26 points per contest. The Bulldogs are holding their opponents to an average of 10 points per contest and will look to continue that success on Friday.

On the other side of the ball, the Bulldogs are scoring an impressive 37 points per game while Russellville is allowing it’s opponents to score 33 points per contest.

Sr. QB LD Richmond comes in with an outstanding 79% completion percentage and is surrounded by weapons in Luke Brewer, who has accumulated 463 receiving yards and 5 touchdowns, as well as Caden Brown who has hauled in 30 receptions for 364 yards this year.

Another staple of the offense is Sr. RB Hunter Wilkinson. Wilkinson has established himself as a power running back that can muscle his way into the end zone. Wilkinson has 6 rushing touchdowns and is averaging 4.3 yards per carry.

Look for this prolific Bulldog offense to put up large numbers and for the defense to force turnovers. Russellville likes to put it in the air and their QB has already accumulated 1637 yards passing on 222 attempts. Greenwood has a forced turnover ratio near the top of 6A football and will look to disrupt the Cyclones’ passing attack.

Sr Lady Tigers Named Conference Champs

After their final conference victory this past Monday against Ozark Catholic Academy, the Mansfield Sr High Lady Tigers have been crowned the Queens of the Court. “Sr High we will be named Conference Champions and District Champions based upon our undefeated conference record and the covid guidelines for not having a district tournament,” explained head coach, Kaylie Pyles. “These plaques will be given out Thursday, October 15 after the Jr High game and presentation.” 

The Sr Lady Tigers are 17-0 overall and 14-0 in conference. “We are the #1 seed in the 2A West conference going into the State Tournament. It will probably be next week before the State bracket is finalized with who we will play because some conferences still need to have District Tournaments. Right now we will play on October 27th at 9:00 am at Cutter Morning Star in Hot Springs.”
