PREP FOOTBALL: Greenwood ends Stillwater OK 2022 State Championship 14-game winning streak

Greenwood snaps Stillwater's win streak

Are you related to him?

Haha

No but I live and retired in Greenwood, AR which every year competes for the Arkansas State Championship and turns out a lot of D-1 college football players. This kid started getting notices 2 years ago as one of the best in Jr High - Middle School nationwide. And as his first varsity game defeated Stillwater OK - who was last years state champ in Oklahoma. Obviously '26 recruitment is a couple of years away but he is definitely a kid to keep an eye on and is already listed in the '26 with an offer on the recruitment list here at TexAgs...

Thank you, Ms Archer

6'1, 220 is pretty big to be that young. Wonder how much more he grows.

..........danger zone

Only plays first half in games.

73% percentage completions

800 yards so far

9 touchdowns

Left wrist broken but healing.

Great candidate for '26

Brother Cash Archer leading edge rusher and QB sacker in the State.

His dad has discovered the Windows 2007 Movie Maker effects package in his YouTube videos.

Those stats are from 8th grade. He is a backup HS QB. Sorry Cane's mom, I am not very excited about himi.

I have serious doubts as to whether any of those offers are actually commitable.

Kid is legit. I moved away from Greenwood last year and saw him play several times. Started getting big time interest in middle school.

Can he play corner?

I'd take him based just on his name. How can you lose?

Well I will tell you exactly what I am talking about since you lack the reading comprehension skills to read your own post.

You posted an article about his 2021 stats which were from 8th grade. Further in the article it states that he was one of the best 8th graders and he attended UA for 8th grade and did well as an 8th grader.


So it appears I do have a clue what I am talking about and you are an idiot with an obsession about an 8th grader.

Nope - the remarks were taken from the video after his first few games on varsity. The kid is outstanding and the first QB A&M offered in the '96 class. You might want to lighten up criticism and provide positive input - or none at all.

Greenwood AR football: "The team that never punts"..

Quote:

LITTLE ROCK, Ark.
The Greenwood Bulldogs are bringing home state title number 11 after downing Little Rock Christian in the 6A championship, 41-23 the final.
It's been three years in the making for the Bulldogs after back-to-back losses in War Memorial Stadium.

Head Coach Chris Young's squad came into this year's title game with a point to prove.
The Dawgs come out hot and put up 14 unanswered points in the first quarter.
First score of the game is sophomore Kane Archer passing touchdown to Grant Karnes, 7-0 Greenwood.
Archer follows it up with a rushing touchdown of his own on the very next drive for that early 14-0 lead.
Greenwood takes a 21-9 lead into the break.
Nothing but a single field goal to show in the third quarter, but the Bulldogs kick it up a notch in the final 12 minutes with sophomore Archer putting 17 more points on the board to run away with this one.
Greenwood completes its perfect 13-0 season with a double-digit championship victory over Little Rock Christian, 41-23.

The Razorback continue to identify talent in the 2025 and 2026 classes. One of those prospects, sophomore quarterback Kane Archer, is one Arkansas of whom many other schools likely dream. He happens to be an hour down the road in Greenwood as the most hyped local prospect since Mitch Mustain.

As a full-time starter in 2023, Archer was one of the most accurate passers in the nation, completing 195-of-266 passes for 2,399 yards, 33 touchdowns and three interceptions. He can threaten defenses with his legs when needed, rushing 103 times for 659 yards and 16 more touchdowns.

USC was one of the schools to first offer the Kane at quarterback along with Michigan. However, as for where he looks to play his college ball, it's beginning to sound like he'll be playing in familiar territory.
"Most SEC schools are recruiting me along with a few Big 12 schools," Archer said.
SEC schools that have offered are Tennessee, Ole Miss, Texas A&M, Kentucky, Missouri and Arkansas.
