The regular season was a success, but the real challenge begins now, in the postseason. On Friday Magnet Cove will take on Des Arc at 7:00 PM. Both teams are sauntering into the matchup backed by comfortable wins in their prior games.
Magnet Cove took an ego-bruising defeat against Conway Christian two weeks ago, but they kept their chin up and bounced back last week. Magnet Cove put the hurt on Cutter-Morning Star with a sharp 43-16 victory. No one put up better numbers for Magnet Cove than senior Eli Dawson, who brought his A game into the match. He rushed for 114 yards and 3 touchdowns on 11 carries. If you haven't heard Dawson's name lately, then you haven't been paying much attention: he has loomed large in their past seven games.
Meanwhile, Des Arc simply couldn't be stopped, as they easily beat Clarendon 42-7. Des Arc were expected to win, but the margin was definitely larger than the state rankings had forecast.
Their wins bumped Des Arc to 6-3 and Magnet Cove to 5-5. After the lofty point totals in their previous games, we'll see if they're able to heat things up even more while facing each other.
