i see that eStem is not in your top 10.  Westside and Brookland that good?

NEA Razorback olfan

Well , I'm not real sure,
Westside 3-1 was State runner-up last year and brings back their core
Just lost to 7a Bryant last night 57-74
Brookland is 3-1 with wins over Riverview, Manila, and a loss to Baptist Prep 52-66


Will update my list as we get more into season
Thanks for making the boys top 10 wait4it

Looks like Pottsville will play Harrison and Morriliton this season so that should help.  Pottsville looks like a team to contend this year.  They are 8 deep with 6"2" to 6'6" players (max prep says on 6'8" but I did not see him anywhere).  They have 4 or 5 that can shoot the 3 very well and can all score inside. Looking forward to a good year.

Watched Blytheville play last night, they'd beat 4-7 easily. Brookland would and will get mercy ruled. They are legit. Play D and 2 really good shooters.  They beat Jonesboro in a charity games earlier this year by about 10.  They can go.

Charlie1001

Why do I keep seeing Brookland in some people's top ten?  Did they return everyone from the team last year that benefited from having the state tourney at their house?   ....oh wait.

Nah. I heard Coach Gross is benching 250 now. Got his kids pretty fired up for the new season.

I never asked Coach how much he could bench, thanks for the information though...all I know is the Brookland Boys work hard every time they hit the floor, most of the time are outsized and have to play defense as a solid unit. They are unselfish and distribute the ball well to the open player, They take charges , Dive on the floor for loose balls, and hustle on every play.
So I agree, they probably don't belong in the top 10

Sounds like a fun team to watch.  Maybe they'll hang around long enough for more people to see this year.  Do they have everything back from last year?

Lots of opinions for a young season.  I cant wait till there are more games behind and the Christmas tournament season.

PS I dont see any teams from 4A-7 in the top 10.

You forgot to mention the cheap fouls, dirty plays, and mercy rules.  But continue.

I think Westside has a great team, they may go undefeated the rest of the season, who knows?
I have no ill will toward Westside.
I just like to watch good games.

1 Mills--slow start but picking up steam
2 Westside--looking impressive, could make a run
3 Harrison--would like to see them against Mills or Westside
4 Forrest City--could contend if they stay healthy
5 ESTEM--hard to judge.  playing well right now.
6 Blytheville--couple of close games and losses
7 Brookland--they may scare some folks, watch out
8 McClellan--in tough conference with eStem and Mills
9 Magnolia--starting 2 freshmen, good defense
10 Monticello--may challenge in regional tournament and state.

J12

I'm a Westside homer through and through but this is Mills' to lose. Hope I'm wrong.

Blytheville is well coached, super athletic, and a couple guys who can really shoot. They will make noise.

As far as the other regions, I just don't see it, or haven't over the last few years. There will be a couple of teams who will come out of regular season with great records, but no competition played.

You're correct about it being Mills to lose.  They are by far the favorite.  Forrest City, eStem, Stuttgart are all very, very solid squads.  I wouldn't be shocked at all to see 4 teams from that side make the state tournament.  This includes there 4 seed beating Westside. 


I couldn't disagree more about Blytheville being well coached.  They are athletic sure and have some streaky shooters but they will be outcoached against the likes of Brookland, Westisde, Highland from their own conference.  They are most definitely not better than any of the top four on the other side. 


I'm not seeing Brookland being a top 10 team.  They lack consistent shooters from outside.  Zero size on the inside.  Their defense will keep them in several games.  I'd expect them to be bounced in first round of regionals by 10+. 


I keep seeing folks post about Harrison?  I know nothing about them.  What makes them special?


Also, Pea Ridge returns a couple folks.  Been very successful over the last few years.


whsbballfan

I'm obviously not from Blytheville as you can tell from my name, and I'm not here to necessarily defend them but what makes you think they are not any better than the top four out of the other side.  They do have wins against Jonesboro and Conway and I'm pretty sure those two teams would compete nicely in that conference.

Puzzling to hear the negative reaction against Blytheville as well.. I watched the whole 4A State Tournament last year and they could have made a deep run through it.

Blytheville is a top 5 team in 4A with quality non conference wins (Jonesboro & Springdale). As far as their coach, I haven't seen him much, but the couple of times I have, his players play hard and execute for the most part. At the HS level, you aren't going to ask much more from a team.

Only loss was to Bryant.
