2010 Shootout of the South Results

A 10 day trip to the United Kingdom and the Arkansas Activities Association Dead Period (June 20 - July 3) interfered with our keeping you as up to date as well as we intend.  The Shootout of the South was held on June 18-19 at the Mighty Blue Bird Complex.  The Pulaski Academy Bruins played well enough to win the Baptist Health Shootout of the South. This tournament marks the Bruins second victory in the 2010 Arkansas 7-on-7 Triple Crown after they won the Sonic Air Raid two weeks earlier.  In the other shootout brackets, Nashville walked away with the Chenal Heights Bracket while Stigler (OK) won the Windstream Bracket championship.

The Top Gun Award for the 2010 Shootout of the South was Nashville's Colt Moore.  Garrett Lamb of Pulaski Academy won the Most Outstanding Receiver Award.  The Most Outstanding Defensive Player honor went to Dylan Little of Pulaski Academy.  

Notes

• Pulaski Academy qualified for the 7-on-7 National Championship in Hoover, AL with the win.
• The Triple Crown will not be claimed this year as Pulaski Academy has chosen to pass on playing in the Vype 7-on-7 Tournament at the University of Arkansas.
• Previous Champions of the Shootout of the South
• 2005 Rogers
  
• 2006 Allen (TX)
• 2007 Heritage Hall (OK)

Oldest Tournament turns 15 this Weekend

The Fountain Lake 7-on-7 tournament begins this Saturday at 9 a.m. with 14 teams competing for 2 championships.  There will be a small school division (2A-4A), and a large school division (4A-7A).  This tournament is the longest running tournament in Arkansas as this will mark its 15th year.  The tournament will be held at Cutter Morning Star as Fountain Lake is in the process of installing an artificial surface on their football field.

The large school division will feature Benton, Bryant, Lakeside, Lake Hamilton, Nashville, Pulaski Academy, and Fountain Lake JV. 

The small school division includes Centerpoint, Charleston, DeWitt, Fountain Lake, Mansfield, Perryville, and Smackover.

Both divisions look wide open, but Arkansas Football Bloggers predicts that it will be Bryant or Pulaski Academy hoisting the trophy in the large division, and Fountain Lake keeping the hardware safely in their field house in the small division.

The top 2 teams in each division will play at 6:00 for the championship.

Southwest Elite Begins Today

One of the top 7-on-7 tournaments begins today at Shiloh Christian with 15 teams vying for the Southwest Elite 7-on-7 Championship.  This is one of the premiere tournaments in Arkansas and will pit some of the top 7-on-7 teams and players against one another.

Arkansas teams that will be competing will be Shiloh Christian, Bentonville, El Dorado, Fayetteville, CAC, Greene County Tech, Rogers Heritage, Mayflower, Springdale, and Arkansas Baptist.  Shiloh and Fayetteville are the likely favorites, followed closely by El Dorado and Rogers Heritage.  All four of those teams were in the top 8 at the Shootout of the South three weeks ago.

Out of state teams include Olive Branch (MS), Heritage Hall (OK City), McAlister (OK), Muskogee (OK), and Hillcrest (Springfield, MO).  Arkansas Football Bloggers can only speak about Heritage Hall as we are unfamiliar with the other out of state teams.  Heritage Hall boasts two great athletes in wide receiver Sterling Sheppard, who was one of the top receivers at the Shootout of the South, and cornerback Barry Sanders, Jr, son of former Detroit Lions running back, Barry Sanders.  Although they will be very good, we don't think they can run the table to defeat the top level teams like Fayetteville and Shiloh.

The 16 teams (Bentonville will have two teams) will divide into 2 pools of 8.  They will play 4 pool play games on Friday beginning at 2:00 with the last games slated for 5:30.  They will then return on Saturday to play 3 pool play games from 9:00 to noon, then breaking for lunch.  When they return, the single elimination tournament will begin at 1:15.

Here are the pools:

POOL A
Arkansas Baptist
Bentonville
Shiloh Christian
Olive Branch
Hillcrest
Mayflower
Heritage
Heritage Hall

POOL B
Springdale
El Dorado
Muskogee
Bentonville 2
Fayetteville
CAC
McAlester
GCT
