Game Week vs Devil Dogs

The season will kick off, as it usually does, with the Morrilton Devil Dogs coached by former Russellville assistant Cody McNabb.  Coach McNabb is an outstanding coach and he had the Devil Dogs finishing on a high note last year beating Siloam Springs.  He has one of the most talented players in the state at running back with Jamar Criswell.  He might be one of the best backs we will face all year.  They also have a big go-to receiver in Warren Leaphart.  Our defense will have its hands full trying to contain a very potent Devil Dog offense.  The best thing we can do is keep it away from them and that means we need to execute on offense and keep their offense on the sideline.  We have a really good senior running back ourselves in Kendall Bond and I look for him to have a great senior year.  If we can run the football effectively it will open up our offense to get the ball in the hands of our talented receivers.  It should be a very entertaining game and I hope all Cyclone fans plan to take the trip with us.  Go Cyclones!

Almost time for football

Hello Cyclone fans. This is my first blog on our new website and I wanted to tell people a little bit about our team. I am proud of the way our guys have worked over the offseason and the summer. It seems like we have been practicing forever and we still have over a week until our first game vs Morrilton. It was nice to be able to scrimmage someone else this past Tuesday. I enjoyed watching other kids from different schools play and it just proved what I have been saying for years that the River Valley has some of the best football in the state of Arkansas. I hope there is at least one conference champion, and even a state champion, out of one of our RV football teams. I was very impressed with Clarksville, Danville, and Dardanelle. I want to wish them all good luck this year. As for the Cyclones, I am excited to get this new year under way. Last year was a tough rebuilding year for us and, although we are still young, you are going to see a much improved football team. If we can continue to find the right pieces of the puzzle, I think we can put together a quality team. I will be blogging about some of our kids each week and I hope to give the readers a little more insight about our program. I can't wait until next week and I hope all Cyclone fans make the trip down I-40 to Morrilton to help support the Crimson Cyclones. The game starts at 7:00. Until next time, GO CYCLONES!
