Top 10 for 2014

[pioneers]

And when was CR put on probation because of its fans? I've been following that program for years and don't remember that at all.

Didn't say CR

My mistake. I was skimming before my coffee.

I will say, I've done my fair share of yelling at refs, but to be a grown woman yelling to knock a 16 year old kid's shoulder out of socket (which I heard for myself not just from this board) crosses a line.

Look, I wasn't there and if what you say happened happened then it wasn't right. I know fans over here can be very passionate and sometimes feel they are "cheated ", then frustration leads to say something you may regret later. I'm sure there was no malice intended.

CR has a great team and program bad it's fun to watch the Reeves kid play. We think we play some basketball over here too.



Good luck the rest of the year, and maybe we get to play y'all a few more times this year.

There is not excuse for what they did last night. You are an adult you set the example for the kids around you and what they did was unacceptable. I can see why kids do what they do know if they grow up seeing their parents do this.

My school put on probation for fans please enlighten me on this because it's the first that I have heard about it.

[neds]

Off topic. But MF finally starts to play good basketball and pulls off an OT nail biter against Pulaski Robinson. (Have yet to have all starters play together.)

True a good win for Mayflower

[WPWells]

If Will.I.Am doesn't start one soon, 12th Man will take over the top 10 poll for the season. Here's 12th Man's at this point:

1. ECS
2. Charleston
3. Cedar Ridge

Those three can go in any order in 12th Man's opinion (ECS ahead of Charleston though since they have the head to head from last year)

4. Osceola
5. Mayflower
6. McGehee
7. Paris
8. Prescott
9. Flippin
10. Valley Springs

Comments are welcome

Ned's not disagreeing , but curious about your choice of McGehee at #3.
They always seem to be there but you don't hear much about them until the post season

[jr17]

Robinson was decent. Very athletic. Would be a top 10 3A team. Mayflower rebounding is suffering due to their big man not playing since the football players have been down. Was told he was good to go next week though.

[neds]

Radiotalker I think any poll at this point is purely opinion and I would analogize this with the bowl championship poll the first week it was released. Truly a point in time mixed with opinion. I do think it will be pretty much be these same 10 teams at the end, just in a different order. Maybe Paris or another 1 or 2 teams make a splash that no one expects.
I am ready to get it going!

[NEA Razorback olfan]

Screaming at the ref's is a completely different subject.  Telling kid to hurt another kid is just wrong.

Some people just have no class, , it's sad, and people wonder where the kids morals are, if it's not taught at home then where are they supposed to learn it from

[WPWells]

+1 completely agree

[Bergman1820]

I agree that Flippin and Valley Springs should be on the list. Not exactly sure how much separates them, but after the 15th when they meet I'll have a better opinion. I don't see many other teams so I don't have enough knowledge to create a top 10.

Solid list. You have to start with ECS and Charleston, no-brainer there. With the win over Osceola, Cedar Ridge belongs in that three-spot, and I still feel Osceola deserves to sit at #4.

After that I think there is a bit of a gap, and there are several teams in contention to round out the top ten. Mayflower gives you a lot of athleticism even without J.P. Perry, and McGehee is a solid squad for sure. Paris has to be the most improved team in the state. Prescott, Flippin, and Valley Springs all deserve talk too. BHG replaces a lot, including their coach, but they're definitely in the conversation. West Fork finished strong last year, but I'm still not sold on them as a legit contender. Weak conference though, so they'll win a lot of games. Lamar is pretty salty too, but lack depth.

But let's be honest- ECS, Charleston, Cedar Ridge, and Osceola: Can you really see anyone else legitimately contending for a state title? Lot of season left, and anything can happen, but right now I think you have to say no.

[pioneers]

Appears to be that Cedar ridge will be without Austin reaves tonight as he walks into the gym without a bag. That will make the jonesboro game that much harder for Cedar ridge but that will also give other players valuable playing time and experience having to beat a tough defense in jonesboro.

[TheHardTruth]

So long as he gets back to 100% that may only help them. If they get more well-rounded they can make a deep state run. ECS and Chucktown will be tough, but I'd favor them above anyone else.

His shoulder issue does not sound like one that will heal itself. If it is his labrum then the usual route is surgery or major rest with intense physical therapy. I would worry on whether you have him for the entire year.

[TheGovernor]

You guys are leaving out Benton Harmony Grove... Def top 10 team

[notsperry]

A poster from earlier had them at 7

Hate that for him - would've been good experience & hopefully the issue wont dog him all year, but probably wouldn't effect the outcome except the size of the final margin for JBO. They're most likely the best team in AR this year again.

[Timberwolf08]

Cedar Ridge is only down by 7 at half against the Hurricane. Without Reaves playing.

Austin played all last season with his other shoulder in and out every few games. Especially in the state tournament. I hope he's not looking at another shoulder surgery.

[Batman44]

Such a shame about Austin. Wish him the very best.

[doubled]

CR lost by 30 but Jonesboro didn't have a foul called on them until 4min left in game. It was so bad someone in the crowd started blown their rape whistle.

He was going up for a layup and got a little push from behind and went shoulder first into the post that holds up the goals at jhs.

[jr17]

I'm not so sure about HG. They lost the big guy. I don't remember their Jr high team being too kid. I know the Wilks kid is talented but other than that I don't remember anything outstadning.

[TheHardTruth]

Paris lost to a 1A team tonight. I'd take them out of my top ten. Replace them with West Fork or BHG depending on how they play out.

[WPWells]

12th Man was going to replace them with BHG

[TheHardTruth]

I'd have to agree with you 12th Man. Paris is still a lot better than they were last year, they just aren't a top ten team right now. BHG belongs there.

[Timberwolf08]

Can yall tell me a little about the other teams? Obviously I know about CR...and ECS from watching last year, but I would love to hear more about the other teams on your lists since we're new to 3A

[WPWells]

Charleston - Runner-up to ECS last year. Best player (IMO) in the 3A (Matthew Ward)

Osceola - Extremely athletic team from northeast Arkansas

Mayflower - Powerhouse, likely second to ECS in that region. Could be hurt by the loss of J.P. Perry, their star guard, who transferred to Southwest Christian Academy

McGehee - The class of region 4 since moving down. Undefeated until state semifinals last year when they lost to ECS

Paris - Not very good last year but much improved this year. Picked up a solid transfer from Charleston

Prescott - The only other team from the south worth mentioning honestly

Flippin - Returns a solid core from a good team last year

Valley Springs - Lost a lot to graduation but has some good wins so far this year. Looks like they reloaded to some extent

Benton Harmony Grove - State semi finalist last year (fell to Charleston). Lost quite a bit, but also have some impressive wins so far

[Timberwolf08]

Thanks, 12th man. I appreciate it.

Referee's these days think they are doing a good job if they don't call anything. The rule book doesn't matter anymore. Over the back calls, three seconds in the lane and illegal screens have gone the way of the dinosaur. It has come down to which team can maul the other team the most. Proper
Positioning and technique don't matter much anymore IMO.

[BoxNOne]

According to the latest enrollment figures from AAA, Jonesboro has over five times the students of Cedar Ridge. I don't think I would brag about clocking someone with 900 fewer students in grades 9-12 especially when they didn't have "their" best player.

I just get tired of the, "we don't get any calls" crap. I wasn't there last night, but if any of the same group I saw call the finals that had been there all week, they were equally horrible, no matter the team. As far as fewer students, we've been beat by schools in the past, some 2A schools, I'm pretty sure.
