Shiloh Christian advanced to the state title game for the first time since 2010 last season and are again the favorites in the 4A-1. Down in the River Valley, Ozark advanced to the semifinals and return the nucleus of that team. The 4A-1 will have a different look in 2020. Gone are Pea Ridge, which bumped to Class 5A, and Lincoln, which relocated to Class 3A. Replacing those schools are Huntsville, making the move from Class 5A, and Elkins, which spent two seasons in the 4A-4 Conference. "I think it's going to be another well-coached conference," said Shiloh Christian coach Jeff Conaway, who is 60- 18 since taking over the Saints' program.
