Fayetteville-Conway 2022 Playoff Preview

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 7-A playoffs are known for having big matchups in the state of Arkansas and this week will not disappoint anyone. Fayetteville and Conway have been consistent teams all season and are teams that have the potential to make a playoff run. Both Conway and Fayetteville have players on both sides of the ball to look out for this week. Each team is familiar with the other and this has the potential to be a fantastic matchup on Friday night.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='214836' first='Donovyn' last='Omolo']-Quarterback-Conway-2024</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Wampus Cats signal caller has had an incredibly consistent two-year run. He is a quarterback that makes good decisions with the football. Omolo moves around well in the pocket and does a great job of keeping his eyes down the field. Omolo is a prospect that does not mind using his legs to pick up yardage on the ground. The Conway signal caller has the ability to take a game over and that is a trait to watch out for on Friday night.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='385303' first='Aaron' last='Smith']-Offensive Line-Conway-2023</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Conway is blessed with having a talented offensive line position grouping. Left tackle [player_tooltip player_id='385303' first='Aaron' last='Smith'] has opened plenty of eyes over the past couple of seasons. Smith has the ability to overpower opposing defensive linemen. The combination of speed and strength is one to pay attention to on Friday night from the Conway tackle. Smith has the potential to play on Saturdays in the future and his recruitment will be interesting to watch over the next few weeks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='147093' first='Brooks' last='Yurachek']-Linebacker-Fayetteville-2023</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Yurachek is a linebacker that has raised his level of play with every game. He is an intelligent player that is not caught out of position. Yurachek uses his speed well to disrupt both the rushing and passing games of the opponent. One facet of his game that does not get the credit it deserves is his ability to pressure the opposing quarterback. The Fayetteville defense is going to need a big game from Yurachek this week to keep the playoff run going.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='159270' first='Lachlan' last='McKinney']-Wide Receiver-Fayetteville-2024</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Fayetteville Bulldogs always have talented prospects at the wide receiver position and this season has been no different. McKinney does a great job of working his way open. He uses smooth route running to create separation from opposing defensive backs. McKinney is the type of wide receiver that can hurt you in the slot or split out wide and hit the deep routes as well. He has the potential to have a big game Friday night and I look for the 2023 season to be an impressive one for the Fayetteville wide receiver.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Fans should look for this game to be one of the most competitive of the playoffs. I expect this game to go down to the wire with the team that scores last pulling out the victory. Both teams are talented and have plenty of prospects with the potential to play on Saturdays in the future.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
