Radio I'm just the messenger . .

I know

[drybones]

Marshal is experienced but not much depth.
Valley is young with lots of talent.

[Head Lion]

Just for curiosity, Region 1&4 and 2&3 are paired first round of state.

[neds]

It may be Valley's year

[neds]

Episcopal wins vs E-Stem 73-55 (boys)

[neds]

Episcopal wins at Robinson 62 - 50 last night (boys)

[beach bum]

Lamar will get beat when they meet a team with athleticism on defense to shut them down. Mcgehee or someone from east Arkansas will beat them at state.

[501Arkansas]

Osceola finished 23-6 13-1 in confs

[Hitman Warrior23]

Lamar will get beat when they meet a team with athleticism on defense to shut them down. Mcgehee or someone from east Arkansas will beat them at state.

if it  happens it will be a disciplined team with great ball movement and shooters. Like a Charleston that's the match up that will haunt us.  But I think this last loss will MOTIVATE THEM! WARRIOR NATION!

All that sun has gone to your head. Order another pitcher of margaritas, lie back and watch the show. Be sure and get me a glass. Yeehaw dude it's playoff time!

Looks like they agree with me too... I'll take the Seminoles or Mcgehee over Lamar. Throw in Charleston to beat Lamar in the postseason when the games matter more too.

[Longfellow]

A well coached small ball team will be the one that knocks off Lamar. Paris had the blueprint, but they lost their heads

I agree! The Owls or Noles would beat Lamar! Osceola finished 23-6 overall. Only one loss since NEA tournament, 13-1 in conference!

My bad, 15-1 in conference!

[Jimbo Morphis]

McGehee lost a key starter to a broken collarbone. Out 3 months.

[TheTruth2010]

I see a lot of confidence brewing from some of you. All because Lamar lost a meaningless game. Lol

[neds]

Lamar should win it all

[NEark tigers]

OSCEOLA...2017 WORLD CHAMPIONS!!

[biglion1985]

Look for a team like riverside could possibly upset lamar if they play each other or it might be someone else

[TheTruth2010]

Lamar should win it all

Im not saying the will, but they have a shot at it. Any team that beats them I will congratulate and wish them luck. Hope they don't lose though.

[neds]

I think there are 5 or 6 teams this year that could win it. I don't see a clear favorite.

[BigMan15]

Exactly this year is the first year in a while where there's no clear favorite. It makes for some good chatter throughout the next three weeks.

[NeaBaller21]

If you don't throw Riverside around in the mix then you're gonna surprised

[CoolBreeze]

MaxPreps teams with best chance to win 3A state:

        School /Overall/ Conf/Rating/
1   Episcopal (Little Rock, AR)     18-7   12-3      15.0   7.2
2   Osceola (AR)   16-6   11-0   15.0   7.6
3   Lamar (AR)   21-5   5-3   13.5   2.0
4   McGehee (AR)   21-2   9-1   13.1   -1.8
5   Riverside (Lake City, AR)   24-9   8-1   12.3   3.5
6   Harding Academy (Searcy, AR)   18-7   14-3   10.0   1.8
7   Jessieville (AR)   19-7   14-2   9.8   1.2
8   Paris (AR)   18-7   9-3   9.7   1.3
9   Tuckerman (AR)   22-9   12-5   8.8   1.2
10   Perryville (AR)   18-8   10-5   8.7   2.4

Note the schedule strength of Episcopal and Osceola vs. the rest of the field. Also, note the extremely low strength rating for McGehee, which could explain why the drop them to 4th despite such a good record.

I'm surprised to see HA so high on the list. I've seen them play twice and they failed to impress. Note that they're 3 places higher than Tuckerman who beat them twice.

[BigMan15]

Would be nice to see Charleston up there!

I don't see a team on that list, that I don't think Manila can hang with.

[Jimbo Morphis]

That's because you're a blind homer. how many of them have you seen play?

[bobcats]

I think there are 5 or 6 teams this year that could win it. I don't see a clear favorite.

If you look at the last month of the season, I would say Osceola is the favorite.  All they have done is win and against some good teams. 

[Head Lion]

That's because you're a blind homer. how many of them have you seen play?

ECS, Osceola, Riverside, HA, Tuckerman

[Jimbo Morphis]

So you should have said half of those teams.

[Head Lion]

I figured you wanted specifics.👌🏿

[CoolBreeze]

Would be nice to see Charleston up there!

I'm sure Chucktown's won-loss ratio kept them off the list. However, I suspect they will be a tough out for anyone they face.

You nailed that one Breeze

McGehee has now lost another starter. This one has a broken finger.

I believe this will be the last poll until the season concludes, from the paper

I am, no doubt. The Lions are handing out 18 & 30 pack whipping night after night.

[biglion1985]

HeadLion I am a Lion all the way and will be at the game but I don't think we will be handing out a 18-30 point whipping

[Jimbo Morphis]

I am, no doubt. The Lions are handing out 18 & 30 pack whipping night after night.

Congrats on finishing your 30 pack. Y'all seem to be playing great at the perfect time. Good luck the rest of the way.
