Impact Player for Arcola: Senior QB Beau Jones. Jones was named as an all conference and all area selection for the Purple Raiders in 2019. Jones was a big time passing threat for Arcola in 2019 and will be asked to provide even more production this fall.
EDGY's Quick Take on the Arcola Purple Raiders: The Purple Raiders (9-3) made the 2019 Class 1A state playoff field and lost to Moweuqua A&M in the 1A state quarterfinals. Look for Arcola to again challenge for the Lincoln Prairie conference and earn another spot in the 1A state playoff field.
