When Coach Chris Hill took control of El Dorado’s football program in the spring, he walked into a locker room with a few unanswered questions. One of those questions was, who will be the starting quarterback? After a spring and summer of intense competition, sophomore Mitchell Polk emerged as Hill’s quarterback choice. After an All-State season that ended in the 6A state playoffs, that was definitely one question the coaching staff got right.

More often than not during football season, it’s skill position players that are in the spotlight thanks to their ability to find the end zone on every snap.

El Dorado beat Jacksonville 46-27 in the regular-season finale Friday night at Memorial Stadium. It was the fourth win in a row for the Wildcats, who improved to 6-4 and will take the No. 6 seed to Pulaski Academy next week in the first round of the 6A State Playoffs.

El Dorado could solidify a playoff berth Friday when it travels to War Memorial Stadium to take on Little Rock Catholic in 6A East action.
