Title: 2018 - 4A MONEY POLL
Post by: 3 Dollar on March 23, 2018, 07:11:48 am
First and foremost, this poll is merely one person's opinion to generate casual conversation on a forum.  I watch a whole lot of softball during the spring.  However, I do not see all of these teams play.  I go by what I see, scores posted here on FF, MaxxPreps, and local and statewide newspapers.  I do not and will not remove a team from the polls at the request of another poster or coach.  Again these are just my opinion.  Have a blessed day and enjoy!

As of Spring Break:

1...Pottsville
2...Nashville
3...Brookland
4...Bauxite
5...Pocahontas
6...Star City
7...Dardanelle
8...Malvern

LOL! Although your statement is ignorant IMO yet somewhat correct... Why do we play season games at all then if none of them matter? I give anyone 2 guesses where you are from and the 1st guess don't count!! LOL

Well I figure the games are to get ready so you can be playing in the final one.
I see a grand slam homer ended the Pottsville vs Bauxite game in extra innings.

Final score was 8-3 and Pottsville was the home team. But yes, essentially the GS ended it.

Not exactly sure, the game was reported in the local paper today so they didn't hide the outcome very well.
But if she thinks it will help her team win more games, I will gladly do so. I wish her players the best of luck on the season.

Sounds like her coach needs to coach better. We are just fans talking. The girls should be focusing on the game and their school work.

I would have to agree with you , Bauxite should be #1
Although polls don't exactly mean a whole lot right now. Peeking at the right time is what most teams are shooting for , that and staying injury free.
pitching  is vital for a state run, solid Defense and some timely hitting ,
So it sounds like Bauxite has what it takes to make serious State run.

Hard to argue.  I think that was Pottsville's first loss for the season.  What is Bauxite's record for the season to this point.

I will state my affiliation so there is no unnecessary banter.  I am a proud parent of a Pottsville Lady Apache Senior. I don't step between those white lines so my opinion doesn't mean much but Bauxite should be ranked #1.  They beat us heads up but a loss to Bauxite in extra innings is not a bad loss. Pottsville lost 4 games on their way to a state championship last year.  One of the losses was to Gravette at regionals where The Lady Apaches were apparently exposed for not being as good as advertised.  Those ladies were picked to lose to Gravette in the quarterfinals on this site.  They were picked to lose to Bauxite in the Semi finals on this site. They were picked to lose to Nashville in the finals on this site. If everything goes as I think it will Bauxite and Pottsville, teams of immensely talented young ladies, will meet up again this year and it will be a great game. I think if the Lady Apaches can get healthy and stay that way they will be a tough out come tournament time.

Very well stated Cobra , I have 2 sons so I really have no dog in this fight but I support almost all our Brookland teams , besides Softball now...after years of following Brookland sports I've learned that poles on here seldom pan out the way everyone expects, some teams can just get hot, others may have the injury bug, and some just peak early in the season and fizzle out come post season.
Having watched the Rose Bud team at Brookland I was impressed, so if Pottsville beat them they must be legit state conteders. Haven't seen Pottsville or Bauxite play that is all I have to go by.
