My son, John is #51. He's a freshman now and part of the core of boys on this team who have been playing together since 3rd grade. I am READY for some football! We scrimmage tomorrow against Junction City............we'll find out what we've got! Go Hornets! GTT
What??? None of you crappie guys are also football guys?
Well, we drove down to El Dorado today for two scrimmage games. The first, at a toasty 11 o'clock against the Junction City Dragons, ended up being Dragons 12, my son's Harmony Grove Hornets 6. There were no extra point attempts or kick offs, just offense vs defense.
The second game, at a steamy 12:30 against the Drew Central (Monticello) Pirates, ended up being Hornets 30, Pirates 6. Other than being sweaty sticky steamy hot, the actual team looked good and made some good plays. I'm looking forward to a good Fall. GTT
Good luck to your sons team.
Nothing like football in the south. My oldest grandson did not play and I got to wait for the 2 yr. old to get bigger to see if he will play. I have a 14 yr. old granddaughter who runs cross country and track. This is her first year of high school so will be interesting to see how she does. She and 3 others hold 2 school records in relays at Middle School, Different game now, we'll see.
I like some football. Ya'll don't get too hot in this summer weather.
Me, me!
I am so ready for some football!!!!!!!!
BIG DAY TODAY! My son's team takes the home field tonight against the Bearden Bears. First game of the season! Mama's got the jersey washed and laid out for school today. Gonna be a throw down tonight, for sure. GTT
Go get em...... HORNETS !!!! Hope y'all win
Holler loud Dad. Ya'll go get some Bears.
WOW, what a game tonight! My son's Hornets 26-Bearden Bears 22! Kids cramping up and dropping like flies in the second half. No injuries, just hot and tired. Bears played really hard, but the Hornet front line (with my son, big center #51) wore them down and road grated the way and ground out three big first downs to eat up the last 4 minutes of the game. BIG rivalry game WIN tonight. Proud of my boys. GTT
I'm all about some football. I played at Glen Rose through 07, now I'm an assistant coach at Barton.
Seems like Harmony Grove played Glen Rose a few years back. Barton, too, if my memory serves me correctly. Welcome to the crappie board crimmer. GTTQuote:

Y'all probably got us. We went through a few lean years around here back then. The '98 class produced Corey Williams, who went on to play in the NFL for the Packers, Browns, and Lions. There were some good teams after him, but things got rough after about '02. Football came back and got really good about 4 years ago. We got within a half of playing in Little Rock, but we let Rivercrest come back and beat us with less than a minute to go. Heartbreaker!Quote:

Just got home. Came up short tonight 22-18. Our kids played a good game, though. Congrats to the Gurdon Go-Devils tonight. Disappointed, but lots more football to play. GTT
Yeah, we were pretty good. We beath Shiloh in the State Championship by 1 point in OT on a two point conversion.Quote:

Genoa comes to "the Grove" tonight for the first conference game of the season. Hope them Hornets go to buzzin! GTT
Hornets 42 - Dragons 22. Genoa's kids played a good game, but they came into a Hornet's nest last night and got stung. GTT

Here's a pic my niece took of some of the guys coming off the field right after a touchdown drive. My son, #51, is one of the linemen who opened a hole for the running back, #23, to run through on the play. Those boys really love each other. Ahhh, the boys of Fall. GTT
WOW, how things can change in just a short time. The high school team had one kid suffer a serious concussion last week and although things are OK with the young man, his football career is over based on his parents' and doctor's decision. Another player up and quit this week and I get a memo from the coaches that they want to pull my son up from the junior high team to play on the high school team. SO, we're now playing on Fridays and are going to McGehee tomorrow night. My son's junior high team is playing tonight in Smackover and we're gonna keep supporting that team as well. Smackover tonight, McGehee tomorrow night! Gonna give my old truck a stretch, but I do love football almost as much as I love fishing!
GTT
Hornets 15 - Buckaroos 14. Thrilling game that came down to the last seconds and ended with a Harmony Grove interception of a Smackover pass on the 1 yard line to end the game. Kids on both teams played hard and one young man for Smackover left in the ambulance with a broken arm. Hate so much that that happened.
Hornets are 3-1. Good times ahead! I'm thinking my son should NOT have moved up and he could have played tonight and been a part of tonight's game. We'll see how tomorrow night turns out in McGehee. GTT
McGehee 63 - Hornets 32. My son played well, except for one snap over the punter's head. Otherwise, the big freshman held his own with the big boys tonight. Coaches bragged on his play, which made him and us feel a lot better, despite losing badly. Time for bed. GTT
Fouke came to Harmony Grove tonight just ahead of a huge line of storms. Game got called in the 3rd quarter with the score Fouke 8 - HG 7. Better to be safe than sorry. Hope the Fouke people get home safely as they are heading right into the storms.
My son will play in his first Homecoming game tomorrow night against Genoa Central. Good luck Hornets tomorrow night! GTT
Happy Homecoming! Hornets 44 - Dragons 17. Next up for the big Hornets is a trip to Fouke. GTT
Good game at Fouke tonight, interrupted by thunderstorms. Just getting home after 1 a.m. Fouke pulled away near the end as our defense got tired and worn down. Fouke 32 - Hornets 20. GTT
Hornets won big last night, 56-30 over Lake Village. Next up for Harmony Grove is a trip to Smackover to face the Buckaroos! GTT
