BOTTOM HALF OF BRACKET
Marion at EL DORADO (4): Marion, voted by coaches to finish seventh in the 6A East in Hooten’s Arkansas Football, is on a roll under former Little Rock Christian defensive coordinator and first-year head coach Lance Clark. The Patriots ran over 6A East champ Jonesboro 50-43 Week 10 before earning it second straight semifinal appearance with physical victories over Russellville (45-21) and at 6A West champion Benton (59-37). The Patriots advance to the Final 4 last November with a Covid quarantine forfeit from Benton and a 55-34 win over Van Buren. Marion hasn’t lost since getting mercy ruled Week 7 (Oct. 15) at El Dorado 36-7. El Dorado sacked Marion five times in the first meeting and Patriot QB Ben Gerrard left with injury and didn’t play the next two games. Gerard returned to help knock off Jonesboro and last Friday completed 18 of 24 passes for 428 yards and five TDs at Benton.   
The nine-time state champions eye their first finals appearance since 2013. The Wildcats won it all in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2013 under former Coach Scott Reed. El Dorado QB Sharmon Rester has passed for 3,196 yards and rushed for 707 yards as a senior. El Dorado junior RB Shadarious Plummer has 1,106 yards rushing with 18 TDs. El Dorado allowed 364 yards rushing in last week’s 48-27 win over Lake Hamilton. Jonesboro had tremendous success using three deep safeties and blitzing a linebacker on most downs when it beat El Dorado (31-20) Week 4.
