2009 Harding University 7-on-7 Camp


The Harding University Bisons coaching staff will be conducting a 7-on-7 Football camp June 12-13. Last year, the camp (held in Searcy, Arkansas) hosted 18 Varsity teams from 5 states. This year, the staff is planning to host Varsity, JV, and Junior High teams from Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, Tennessee, Missouri, Mississippi, Kentucky, and Oklahoma. The coaching staff indicates that several schools from Arkansas' powerful 7A West conference are already making plans to attend.

Some highlights that we see in this camp:
  • Lots of football on Friday and Saturday
  • Admission is FREE for spectators
  • Teams can work on their passing game against other quality opponents from different states
  • Players get exposure to a college campus, a sample of dorm life, and contact with NCAA Division II Football Coaches
  • Teams get a chance to start working on chemistry by spending a weekend together

If you want more information, the brochure for the camp is located at the Harding University Athletics site (Sports Camps). Thanks goes out to Coach Clay Beason for the information!

We are just starting to hear from coaches and players about the schedules for the 2009 7-on-7 Football season. As those dates firm up and we hear from organizers, we will get that information out to you. If you have information for us, leave a comment or email us at arkansasfootballbloggers@gmail.com. Also, check the sidebars for "Camps". We will put links to the camps that we hear about there.

2008 State Champion Roll Call

We turned our thoughts away from Arkansas high school football for a while as the 2008 season has been put in the books. Now that we have past Groundhog Day, we want to recognize the 2008 Arkansas State Football champions:

7A -- Bentonville Tigers


6A -- Lake Hamilton Wolves




5A -- Pulaski Academy Bruins



4A -- Shiloh Christian Saints





3A -- Charleston Tigers




2A -- Junction City Dragons




If you are a fan, player, or alum of these schools, leave us a comment to act as a "roll call" for these champions. We know that you are proud of them, so let us hear about it.

We will start posting 7-on-7 schedules as soon as they start to come in to us. If you have one of these schedules, please send it to us at arkansasfootballbloggers@gmail.com. Thanks and we hope to hear from you soon.
