Coach Ellis who played at Clemson takes charge of the 7th -9th Lady Bearcat program and assists Coach Baltz with the Sr girls. For the past 2 weekends they have been working out 4th -6th girls getting ready for travel teams. From what I saw at the red and black game the 7th and Jr girls are athletic and can get up and down the floor.
Annie Camp will be a tough test Monday night at the VV tourney. With a mixture of 3 talented 7th graders mixed in they should do well in conference. Brookland won 4A-3 conference last year and are looking forward to another run this year. I'm not real sure on the starting 5 yet , Because this group has a pretty deep bench. I will know more after Annie Camp game.

Now wait a minute.  How do they play Dexter Missouris Jr. High team?  Missouri JH season is already finished a while back.  Unless they played their JV which could be all 9th grade.  But might also include Sr. High kids. Which would make all of Brooklands 9h graders ineligible to play JH ball the rest of the season. 
Not trying to be snarky at all, just looking to make sense of it.

NEA Razorback olfan

All I know it was at a Jr tourney at GCT , they had Dexter on their uniforms. None of them looked Sr high to me.

The distance between schools wouldn't allow it but I would love to see the Brookland 7th and Jr High girls play SC. Sounds like it would be some good games!!

Coaching 101


GREAT players don't need to be begged, negotiated with, threatened or bribed to work hard. They WANT to work hard b/c they want to be great.

Haha!!! I hope so that would be nice about the state championship game!!!
And I agree with your next post!!

Brookland 12-4 (3-0) knocks off Jonesboro Annie Camp 37-31 to claim the Nettleton Raider Touney .
Brookland had several players step up today, Mallory Lovrien hit a long trey right before half , and hit 3-4 free throws late in the game, Loren Payne did a great job defending Their Top Scorer, Emily Pate worked hard on the Boards all game. Shelby Lawerence handled the pressure as the 2 guard and hit both free throws with 46 sec left for a 1pt lead. Kalifa Ford ended up with 17 pts and and 8 boards great effort today , team win!!

Thanks Bulldog92 & Oldref,

Talking to Coach Ellis She said she was proud of the effort of the girls in practice and in games.
They are starting to come together as a team. Playing some of the Best teams around this area will help them prepare for conference play.
On the road vs Highland Jan 4th

Looks like Star City and the Bay teams are doing well!!
Good luck to both this season!!!
I'm heading out to the Convo to watch some of the NEA tourney.
God Bless and Have a Merry Christmas!!!

The Lady Bearcats hit the floor running tonight , turning turnovers into points in a hurry , jumping out to a 14-0 lead. I like the unselfish play by everyone. If you was up front on the fast break you got the ball!!!
I believe Kalifa Ford led with 13pts followed by Mallorie Lovrien 9pts

Coach said she thinks the tough non conference schedule they played will help them in conference match ups/ need to get better every game!!!

It was a big win tonight going 5-0 in conference but we have to be ready Tuesday for a battle!!

Big conference game with Pocahontas Tuesday!!

Brookland 17-4 (8-0) travels to take on Harrisburg tomorrow night in a conference matchup.
I expect a pretty good game. I know Pokey has 1 loss in conference but not sure if it's their only one or not. Not real sure of everyone's conference record or sure where to find them. The paper only puts the Sr girls records and tells who won the Jr games.

Coach Ellis's dad is a well respected retired coach from the Searcy/Bradford area. Both brothers coached for awhile I believe. Basketball success runs in the family so Im not at all surprised that she is doing well. Congrats from an old friend of your dads!!

Brookland had a great year despite loosing starter 8th grader Carliegh Smith who was lost all season with ACL. At 5'10 and can run the floor, finish around the rim ,she would have really helped our team.
Looking forward to watching her play next year.
Good to see 7th Grader get some pt.
