AARON OHL GREENWOOD — Class 6A is as wide open as it has ever been, according to the coach of the defending state champions. Rick Jones — who's led the Green- wood Bulldogs to seven state champi- onships, including the 2017 title — says there are several teams who could be in the hunt in 2018. "A lot of teams have a chance," said Jones, who's 163-23 in 14 years at the school. "I really believe that. I think I'd put Pine Bluff as 1-A, El Dorado as 1-B, Benton as 1-C. West Memphis has got a lot of guys back. Jonesboro has a very, very talented team. Searcy had a good group last year. Russellville won it a couple of years ago. Just go on down the list." The one thing all these teams have in common will be trying to knock off Greenwood, which has set the standard for excellence in high school football GRAHAM THOMAS NWA DEMOCRAT-GAZETTE Greenwood coach sees balance in Class 6A battle NWA Democrat-Gazette File Photo Greenwood coach Rick Jones said Class 6A appears to be wide open, with many teams having a good chance to make a state title run. 2017 Conference Standings 6A-West TEAM CONF.
