Longtime Rivalry

Longtime Rivalry

          After a long, hard working season of the previous year, the Batesville Pioneers went 11-3 and won their second straight 5A-East District championship. The Seacry Lions went 9-3, posting their best record in a decade while finishing third in the 6A-East and winning a playoff game. The two teams have been rivalries for many years. Coming together on Friday night they will renew their rivalry and determine whose side time is on.

            Searcy Coach Tim Harper and Batesville Coach Dave King have worked hard to get their teams ready for the next season. Last Friday, the Lions beat the Little Rock McClellan 18-0 in a game lasting nine minutes, due to storms. “’I found out last night we were pretty good for nine minutes.’ said Coach Tim Harper, chuckling.” The Pioneers, however, lost 35-0 against the Springdale Bulldogs. These results left the Searcy Lions feeling very confident in their next game, against the Pioneers.

            By writing the article “Lions, Pioneers will determine whose side time is on,” Paul Glover is trying to inform you about the Batesville Pioneers and Searcy Lions football team. He is also trying to educate you about the previous history of the two teams and key players who have important roles on the team. One key player on the Lions team, “Antwan Arnold, a 6-foot, 190-pound senior running back turned into the quarterback” due to outstanding athletic ability in both positions.  He also goes on to tell more about other players and their positions.

            The Lions and Pioneers will forever be rivalries and all the coaches, fans, and online viewers are excited to watch them battle it out this Friday night. I think Paul Glover did a fantastic job talking about the rivalry and informing you about the two dedicated teams.
