Here are the match-ups for Week #4 of the 2011 Arkansas High School playoffs. This is championship week for the top three classes (5A, 6A, and 7A). Our picks are in
BOLD. All games in the lower three classes (4A, 3A, and 2A) are Friday, December 2, 2012 at 7:30 pm.
- Fayetteville vs. Bentonville
- War Memorial Stadium
- Saturday, December 3, 2011 -- 12:00 pm
This game is a re-match of the Week #4 conference game that Bentonville dominated 41-6. The Tigers are aiming for their 26th consecutive win. Fayetteville has had a great season, but the Purple Dogs are running into "the machine" in War Memorial. Bentonville is head and shoulders above the field this year.
- El Dorado vs. Lake Hamilton
- War Memorial Stadium
- Friday, December 2, 2011 -- 7:00 pm
Most observers saw this rematch coming after the Lake Hamilton Wolves defeated the Wildcats 31-24 in conference play during Week #8. These two teams have been the ones to beat in 2011. Although we pick the Wolves to win it all, we wonder if a rubber match shouldn't be set for next week if the Wildcats win this one in Little Rock. We wager that more than a couple of people would pay to see that.
- Greenwood vs. Batesville
- War Memorial Stadium
- Saturday, December 3, 2011 -- 6:30 pm
Greenwood knows its way around War Memorial and dealt with what we believe was the #2 team in 5A in the semi-finals. The Pioneers will give Coach Jones and his Bulldogs a tough game, but the 5A trophy will be headed West one more time before Greenwood moves to 6A next season.
