3A Boys Basketball Weekly Top 16 Poll UPDATED JAN. 25

[Proud Buckaroo]

Probably not because the guy who does this has decided to take a little break from fearless Friday.

[drybones]

There probably wouldn't be much change this week anyway.

[neds]

Looks like ECS is out of it.
ADG polls has dropped them also . . .

9. Marshall

[WPWells]

I agree, Longfellow

[WPWells]

Oh and I'd have Atkins #16 instead of Lavaca

[BigMan15]

Its so hard to rank some of these guys like Manilla Marshall Smackover and Centerpoint becase their conference is awful and so personally I would take Smackover over this other guys but Marshall has an impressive record along with Centerpoint. I hate to say it but Manilla hasnt played good competion in a while IMO.

Marshall's conference is not awful.  They have five very competitive teams including Valley, Marshall, Flippin, Yellville and Cotter

[BigMan15]

Im sorry but I dont think Flippin Yellville or Cotter could beat Paris Lamar or Atkins so I dont consider that competive. But for sure that conference is stronger than Centerpoints and Smackovers

[bobcats]

I have not seen any of the three mentioned play so I can not make a judgement on them but I have seen TR and can tell you they are capable of beating them.  If I am not mistaken our region matches up with yours in the first round at state so it should be settled there.

[BigMan15]

So you are saying you think Flippin Yellville or Cotter would beat TR

[bobcats]

Could.  We may never know but they have the players and are capable.  Doesn't mean they would but they are capable.  Have you seen them play?  I try not to make definitive statements about teams I have not seen play.

Manila's conference may not be as good as other years but don't sleep on them.  If you don't have good guard play they may be your worst nightmare.  I think we can agree that as a whole 3A is down this year and everything is wide open.

[HorseFeathers]

So you are saying you think Flippin Yellville or Cotter would beat TR

With the way two rivers played againt Paris then yeah yellville is fully capable of beating them....and Atkins too....

[Ctucker]

I think 3a is weaker than usual I think it's wide won't suprise me whoever wins it.

[HorseFeathers]

I think 3a is weaker than usual I think it's wide won't suprise me whoever wins it.

Well....If Booneville wins 3A, then I'd be suprised

[Ctucker]

Well out of the teams that make it to state.

[BigMan15]

Yes the 3A is down for sure but when it comes to state IMO the region 1 and i believe the other region which i think is 2 with CR ECS etc will be extremely competive. That region with CR ECS Jesseville Harding HHG there could be some upsets.

I wouldn't put Manila over Smackover at all. They are inconsistent. They just lost to Riverside tonight.

[Radiotalker]

I don't think any team from 3-3a is top 10 caliber. Yeah we beat Earle, but losing to Piggott was a bad loss. Manila got drilled last night by Riverside....I'm hearing trailed by 30 at one point.

Things could change.

[neds]

State champ emerges from Region 2

[teachers pet]

Agree!

[Knight pride]

We got a shot also

[neds]

We got a shot also

I don't think so

[BigMan15]

State champ emerges from Region 2

Theres a good chance of that

[ReddieKnightTrojan]

The one thing that you don't see about Centerpoint is the fact that their bench has been getting TONS of experience this year. Being in a weak conference assures a championship caliber team's bench plenty of reps. What started out as a team with 6 or 7 solid players has become a team of 10-12 ballers that can keep the pressure, offense, and tempo going while the starters are getting a blow. I'm sure other teams have benefited from this as well this year, but don't be surprised if CP gets into your team's legs and sends them home this postseason.

[neds]

We all get a chance to find out soon.

[ZoneBuster]

Valley Springs beat Marshall by 30 tonight according to Twitter.

[drybones]

That is correct. Clock ran about the last 4:00.

[DOCHOLLIDAY7]

Valley deserves a lot of credit for this win. They are definitely title contenders.

[TheOfficial]

Valley deserves a lot of credit for this win. They are definitely title contenders.

Agreed.  They are hitting on all cylinders right now.

[Chicky]

30........wow......glad I didn't make the trip to go see that one.  I guess the gym was packed out by 4:30?

[drybones]

Standing room only.

Don't stress, That is just a copy and paste standing from MaxPreps.

He loves maxpreps. Don't be alarmed.

[ReddieKnightTrojan]

MaxPreps did have Centerpoint ranked above Cedar Ridge, but they are missing 2 tournament losses by Centerpoint so I added those losses and put CR at #1

[teachers pet]

The Maxpreps rankings I just looked at show CR #1 and Centerpoint #7.
