FAYETTEVILLE — During one point during Thursday night’s 46-21 win over Batesville, Jonesboro head coach Randy Coleman went all in.
It was a fourth-and-short situation when he loaded up the left side of the offensive line with Arkansas commit Noah Gatlin (6-7, 305) and highly-recruited Darius Thomas (6-6, 327).
The Hurricane got the yard they needed and a lot more in their sixth straight win over the Pioneers in the Simmons First Bank Classic at Arkansas State University's Centennial Bank Stadium.
“Noah is left tackle and Darius is right tackle right now,” Coleman said. “We do have a goal line and short-yardage package where we put them on the same side with Noah at guard and Darius at tackle.
