4A Conference 4 is the next stop on our tour of conference schedules. Ozark and Dardanelle paced the conference in 2018 with 9-3 records. Mena won 8 games last season and has a new leader as Craig Bentley has taken over the team. Elkins was 7-4, while Pottsville fell to 5-6 but qualified for the postseason none the less. Dover, Waldron, and Subiaco Academy combined to win only 5 games, with the Trojans getting a new head coach in the offseason.
Ozark, Dardanelle and Mena are all still looking to be the top teams in the conference while Elkins will look to keep up its positive momentum from 2018. Pottsville hopes to return to its pre-2018 form and a solid sophomore class could help. Dover also has a new head coach as Reed Mendoza takes over the team this season. Waldon will look to improve on its two win season in 2018 and Subiaco Academy will look to improve under new leadership.
