After the top 5 it's a cluster of arrangement.
Batesville seems to have announced themselves against the "hardest hitting team ever". I may have misquoted that but it was close to the gist.
I think top 2 from East and South will advance although I'd love to see Batesville be a 4 seed verse Texarkana cause that may be a heck of a game and it would be absolute destiny.
West is...? Harrison then who?
Central appears to be PA >>> LRCA >>>>>> rest of central
If you are a religious person, please pray for a Pioneer/Hogs matchup and maybe we can convince JessieP and Hoghead/Man to call the game on the radio together.

Seriously Dad? That's the list you want to submit? Knowing how Batesville is a completely different team in October you still rank the team they mercy ruled ahead of them? I mean your top 5, no question. Come on though, Why not drop Blythesville to just missed and slot Batesville into the 10 spot? A mercy ruled game carries no weight with you? It was not a OT thriller, Batesville was in control from the 6 minute mark on. A one sided thrashing still keeps them at number 6? I gotta say, That's bizarre.

You may well be right. But, I look at the overall record. Head to head matters but it's not the whole picture. Blytheville is still number 1 in the East. Batesville is number 3. It's hard for me to rank the number 3 team in the conference ahead of the number 1 team regardless of the head to head win.
But we don't have to figure it out now. Time will tell.
By the way, if you look at my record predicting games, you'll ignore my rankings anyway.

Voice... come on. We are not number 2. We might be top 10 as we sit now.. but in no way are we second. Now that could change very quickly when Jacolby comes back... which could be very soon, but until then we're just an average playoff team.

It's a fan poll. Just stirring things up. This poll doesn't matter. Vote how you want. 😂 like I said Jacolby plays next week. Harrison is top team in the West. Roscoe have you watched a game Morrilton has played?? Harrison destroys Alma. Morrilton played them closer than anyone and with our third string qb, not taking anything from Harrison. It's about match ups.
I put them where I think they finish the season. Just my opinion

Let's try another tack here. Forget Batesville for a minute, people hate Batesville, I get it. They have obnoxious posters here and garner little respect, I'm fine with that. Let's say Batesville is mediocre, overrated, rebuilding and just plain annoying. Some posters are keeping Blytheville in the top 10 after getting mercy ruled by an unranked team? The score was 31-6 at halftime, They were getting sissy slapped by crappy little Batesville and you're going to keep them in the top 10? Really? This was not LCRA getting mercy ruled by PA, I could see forgiving that. This was puny little Batesville playing the JV's in the 4th quarter and you keep them in the top 10? I mean come on, drop Batesville to number 26 but don't keep Blytheville in the top 10. As Dr. Lee famously said at the OJ trial "Something not right with this picture". Wynne lost to Blytheville by 23 points and you banish Wynne to Siberia, Batesville annihilates Blytheville by 35 and Blytheville stays right there?

You do realize we lost our D1 SEC quarterback and then his backup went down... we played a third string QB for most of the season. Jacolby will be back soon, and then we'll see how you feel.

Really doesn't matter how I "feel", I was just pointing out that at this stage in the season Morrilton has not done the things on the field to warrant a #2 ranking. I'm sure they will win the last 2 games and finish the regular season at 6-4 which is where they typically end up during McNabb's tenure. (In 8 full seasons with McNabb as the head coach the Dogs' average 6.5 wins and 4.5 losses.)
I have watched several 5A West games this year, I've watched Morrilton, Alma, and Harrison play about 3 times and the conclusion I draw is that with the exception of Harrison the West is down this year and it appears the East is as well with Batesville and Wynne not as strong as in years past.
We love coach mcnabb. Russellville and Conway wanted him. So take your dish elsewhere, he already brought us one ring. We believe he'll get us another.
Not crazy to think Morrilton will be #2 with Jacolby at all IMO.

McNabb has easily been the best coach in the West the past 4-5 years... no other team in the West has a championship in since he entered, and he beat the almighty P.A. he has dominated the west... most of the losses you speak of come in non conference games against teams like Russellville and Searcy. I realize my bias is showing... but everything you're saying is anecdotal. You're basing it all off, as you said, an eye-test.

Good coach maybe. Has a ways to go to be considered great.
He under achieves in my opinion. Has lots of talent and just doesn't win when it matters most other than one year. Loses to teams with less talent too.
I believe Morrilton has not made it past the second round of the playoffs but once in his tenure. 2013 was a great year for the Devil Dogs, no doubt, but that was ONE year. You guys want to hang your hat on a victory over PA 5 years ago which was a great victory but that was ONE game. The next thing you'll be saying is "Morrilton and PA have run the 5A for the past 5 years with both teams winning the state championship during that time!"
I'm sure McNabb is a good coach and a good guy, and I certainly didn't intend for this post to be about him. I just get frustrated when certain people refuse to take off their rose colored glasses.
You sound like a certain individual I know who always bragged about regular season victories and such. It was a big year for us. We got there and won. Maybe we don't make to third round every year and lose. Splitting hairs if you ask me. We get there with mcnabb we win . Some kind of rose colored wearing folks brag about reaching higher rounds and what not , they don't give out awards for that , ( polishing my ring ) 😜😉

To me this is a legitimate Top 10 list. It makes sense, you could argue about flipping some positions but overall it is thought out. To all the posters keeping Blytheville in the Top 10 I want to knock on their foreheads and scream "Hello, McFly, is anyone in there? Hello, they got MERCY RULED by an unranked team. Is anyone home in there"?. I think maybe everyone needs to sit down, turn off the TV and focus on what I'm saying. Are you ready? Here goes "Top 10 teams do not get mercy ruled by unranked teams, EVER". Many teams have been beaten badly by lower ranked teams but guess what? THEY LOSE THEIR RANKING.

Hang in there, a few seasons of "Being ranked" in the 5A will really make your resume pop when you petition to drop to 4A.

I'm just fascinated with them because of their fans. I would love nothing more than Texarkana to knock off PA - trust me on that! If that game happens, believe that I'll be pulling for you. But, I just don't think Arkansas High has done enough in 5A to act like they're as good as they think. Maybe they will this year - who knows.

Dude would you just kill it with all the hatin. Their total body or work
was better than average until the forfeit thing happened. One game is not a TOTAL body or work. I will take them down a notch now since they had to forfeit a couple of wins. One of them being a conference win.

I will never forget when LRC beat Gwood in 2007 by 40 points or so just a few weeks before they lost to them by 20 in the championship. Nobody dropped Greenwood out that year after losing so bad.

And that graphic is germane to the discussion because? Oh wait, it's not. I guess you could use your futile post to prove 2 things. That being neither Blytheville or Batesville deserves to be a top 10 team. Hey, Thanks for the support Razor.

I'll support your cause if Batesville wins out and Blytheville continues to self-destruct. But as of today, Blytheville moves to the bottom of my top ten and Batesville moves up to 11 or so, which a big jump from a couple of weeks ago. Just keeping it real, bro.

And that's all I'm saying. I knew I would be perceived as hyping Batesville, I'm not. I am not saying "Hey, we beat them. We should be ahead", That's nonsense. I myself could shoot holes in that argument. My point is that after a mercy ruled loss to an unranked team NO ONE deserves to stay in the Top 10. I understand that things like Appalachian State or Oregon State over USC in 2005 happen. Those are almost always a last minute upset. In college no Top 10 team gets beat by an unranked team and stays Top 10. Forget Batesville, Blytheville deserves to get dropped based solely on the one sided whipping. I myself would struggle to put Batesville in the Top 10 based on merit but dropping Blytheville at least 6 spots is a no brainer.

So if Bossier City, LA and Texarkana, TX are unranked in Arkansas, does that still count? ;D
1. PA
2. Texarkana
3. Harrison - looking real spooky at the moment
4. LRCA - looking like a real post season threat
5. McClellan - getting it done
6. Nettleton - coming on strong
7. Camden - they are still making noise
8. White Hall - I still think they are a dangerous team
9. Alma - possibly in for a good playoff seed
10. Morrilton - why are they going here? I just can't count them out yet
Dropped: Blytheville - the incident with Blytheville was unfortunate but I need to see how they overcome it before they go back into the 10.

To me this is a legitimate Top 10 list. It makes sense, you could argue about flipping some positions but overall it is thought out. To all the posters keeping Blytheville in the Top 10 I want to knock on their foreheads and scream "Hello, McFly, is anyone in there? Hello, they got MERCY RULED by an unranked team. Is anyone home in there"?. I think maybe everyone needs to sit down, turn off the TV and focus on what I'm saying. Are you ready? Here goes "Top 10 teams do not get mercy ruled by unranked teams, EVER". Many teams have been beaten badly by lower ranked teams but guess what? THEY LOSE THEIR RANKING.
Jessie what is your problem with Blytheville? You have non stopped posted about them, what's the obsession bub?

Lol that Harrison is ranked so low and Texarkana so high. Y'all have played two above average teams. Lost to one and barely won the other. Heck you've struggled against bad teams at least once. Harrison at least smashes all the bad ones. Whatever makes you feel good though.
Which bad team did we struggle with??

Ranked by fearlessfriday fans...Yes, so sad I guess? At least we will both finish the season lacking the hardware and jewelry that matters most right?
I can't wait for everyone to remember who finished 3rd, 4th, or 5th this season. I know that's what is important to you Texarkana folk.
So when PA wins state i guess all these other teams are just average!

You're right, I need help. My obsession with Blytheville started harmless enough, it was social. As time passed the social posting about them became daily and then 2 times a day. When confronted about it I simply replied "I can quit anytime I want, I just don't want". Now I look at the ruins of my life, My wife took the kids and left, I lost my job and last week I got a certified letter from SMU saying they are pulling my degree. I never imagined things would spin so out of control.
Obsessed? I post thoughts about a team, I feel is unduly ranked in the top 10, on a thread about the top 10 and in your world I'm obsessed? Using your criteria one could assume that in the world of 2A basketball you're in full blown addiction? Or maybe we could pull back on the superlatives and assume that people discussing the topic the thread is named for are just...discussing?

Since the mercy rule has been brought up a couple of times in this thread, I thought it would be interesting to see how some of the teams stacked up. So, here are the number of full quarters played under mercy rule this season:
LRCA 11
Harrison 9
PA 7
McClellan 7
Texarkana 4
Nettleton 3
Blytheville 2, 2 by opponents
Batesville 1, 3 by opponents
Alma 0
Only 3rd and 4th quarters are counted per the rule.
White Hall has 3
Updated to add White Hall to the mercy party:
LRCA 11
Harrison 9
PA 7
McClellan 7
Texarkana 4
White Hall 3
Nettleton 3
Blytheville 2, 2 by opponents
Batesville 1, 3 by opponents
Alma 0

I will never forget when LRC beat Gwood in 2007 by 40 points or so just a few weeks before they lost to them by 20 in the championship. Nobody dropped Greenwood out that year after losing so bad.
Exactly, bad games happen from time to time. That's a part of it.
1. PA
2. Texarkana
3. Harrison
4. Little Rock Christian
5. McClellan
6. Nettleton
7. White Hall
8. Camden Fairview
9. Alma
10. Batesville
Going to go ahead and close this. I will tally points soon.

Full quarters. Go back and look at the box scores. Four quarters is correct.
