Both Pulaski Academy and Greenwood are explosive teams and have some amazing talent to hopefully boost them to a state title. Both squads are familiar with the infamous War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock which both teams have played in in the recent past.
For Greenwood I’m watching the skill players mostly. When I was watching the Benton game last week I took note of lots of dropped balls and missed holes in either their screen game or their run game.
Greenwood Bulldogs
Cody Taylor Cody Taylor 6'3" | 290 lbs | OL Greenwood | 2026 State AR – Greenwood – Freshman
Cody Taylor Cody Taylor 6'3" | 290 lbs | OL Greenwood | 2026 State AR has stepped up this season as a Freshman! Cody has been a phenomenal lineman for the Bulldogs on both freshman and their varsity squad so far. I believe that depth for the Bulldogs is what will win them this game and I think Cody is one of the pieces to that winning puzzle!
Hunter Houston Hunter Houston 6'2" | 205 lbs | QB Greenwood | 2023 State AR – Quarterback – Senior
Houston has had a great season this year! I think he’ll have a great state title appearance but also a better turnover ration than last week. Against Benton he threw for 3 interceptions, one being a pick 6 on their first drive. I think this week he’s going to be more disciplined and more accurate with his big shot plays.
Jake Glover Jake Glover 5'5" | 145 lbs | RB Greenwood | 2023 State AR – Running Back – Senior
Jake had a good night against the Panthers last week in the Semifinal win! I think one of the keys to success for the Bulldogs in their running game! Overall I think he will have good night against the Bruins if the offensive line can hold the blocks and keep gap integrity!
Pulaski Academy Bruins
Allen Thomason Allen Thomason 6'5" | 255 lbs | OL Pulaski Academy | 2023 State AR – Tackle – Senior
One of the better offensive lineman I’ve seen this season has most defiantly shown out so far! He has great get off speed and I think that’s one reason that Pulaski is on course to get the win this week! I believe Allen will have a successful game as he finishes out his Senior season and pick the ring up this Firday!
Kenneth Jordan Kenneth Jordan 6'1" | 180 lbs | RB Pulaski Academy | 2024 State AR – Running Back – Junior
Last week Jordan had a great night against the Rockets in picking up the win! I think that momentum will defiantly carry over to hopefully get a win in the title game! He has great strength in his game, from what I’ve seen. I think he is a great physical back with some great talent to build on in his career.
Jaylin McKinney Jaylin McKinney 6'0" | 165 lbs | WR Pulaski Academy | 2023 State AR – Receiver – Senior
Last week in their win against Catholic, Jaylin had a great game! I was pleased to see the routes and his break away speed from him! He has some great all around speed and great athleticism to add to his game!
This weeks state title game will come down to the wire like it did in the regular season, I believe. I think it will be a great game to go and watch with some great athletes to get a great look at!
