PB the starter that was hurt is the #11 Tanner Brunt. IMO is the best player on team but didn't have is best shooting game Sat night. Think he still had 12 r 15 points

[WorkOrder]

Prescott's Starters:PG #1 Brandon Walker 5'9 Senior
SG #2 Derrick Thompson 5'11 Sophmore
SF #4 Bralyn Wilson 6'2 Junior
PF #5  Deonte Jamison 6'3 Junior
C #11 Ryan Johnson 6'4 Freshman
Heavy Subs: C #22 Kadarius Pearson 6'2 Sophmore PG #10 James Tidwell 5'7 Senior  PF #21 Nikkell Davis 6'2 JR

What about Quantas Gulley?

[bb1996]

The Knights VS Lions here is what I got. You are not going stop Daley. Cox and Brunt yes have played with and against him they have great respect for him as I do also. His father and I talk often we both feel like this is going to be a war. Keys to victory for knight contain Daley and their post then have to shoot ball well to get their crowd out of ballgame no easy task. Go Knights

[Proud Buckaroo]

PB the starter that was hurt is the #11 Tanner Brunt. IMO is the best player on team but didn't have is best shooting game Sat night. Think he still had 12 r 15 points

I think he had 9 points. If I remember correctly.

Cox was the leading scorer with 22 points.

[WhiteRiverMonster]

Really wish all these teams dynamic breakdowns were happening on the girls thread too.

Thank you all for thoroughly distracting from my occupation.

Osceola Seminoles      15-8

Conference 3-3A       2nd place  8-2
3-3A Conference Tournament Champions
Region 3 Champions

State Titles (4)   77,79, 00, 01

Strengths:  Very athletic, depth, good guards
Weakness:  inexperience (1 senior)

Can't provide starters because they change from game to game. They do have the Gilmore kid in the middle that goes 6'7". 

[Radiotalker]

Don't let Two Rivers 4th seed fool you. They are a Dang good team. They have problems with consistency though

No doubt.  My view........everyone at this point is dang good.

Osceola has played really well the past two weeks. They have already exceeded expectations. I thought the next two years would be the years to make the drive for 5.

[teachers pet]

[Proud Buckaroo]

PB, is it possible for McGehee to slow Austin Reaves down?

It's not going to be pretty. I'm afraid.

Fountain Lake, Lakeside, Dequeen, and Searcy had one of their weaker teams in recent years even though I think Centerpoint is pretty good!

McGehee

[brown2010]

nobody has slowed him down yet and no McGhee want mercy game

[strongandsteady]

Sorry for forgetting Quantas Gulley on Prescott's heavy subs. He is also a very talented Freshman

[ReddieKnightTrojan]

Fountain Lake beat Jessieville

[teachers pet]

1. Early in the season
2. Fountain Lake coach was a former Lamb player
3. For Fountain Lake, it was a big rivalry game.
If you want to really make a comparison, Malvern beating both Centerpoint and Jessieville by about the same margin is more of a measuring stick. I would say both teams are pretty even except for Jessieville's post player. I give the nod to Jessieville because it's at Jessieville and of course, I'm a homer!

[Jimbo Morphis]

nobody has slowed him down yet and no McGhee want mercy game

translation on the last part please.

[RTF]

translation on the last part please.

Mcgehee wants to mercy rule someone. Atleast, that's what I got out of it anyway.

[ReddieKnightTrojan]

translation on the last part please.

I think it was supposed to say McGehee "won't"

[Radiotalker]

translation on the last part please.

people need to use gooder English

[Jimbo Morphis]

Mcgehee wants to mercy rule someone. Atleast, that's what I got out of it anyway.

Mcgehee is lucky to be in state. playing a lot of young guys. our conference was way down this year.

[cdelaney]

Mcgehee wants to mercy rule someone. Atleast, that's what I got out of it anyway.

I think he means they want mercy from Cedar

[ReddieKnightTrojan]

... between won't and mercy rule

[Basketballfan13]

Does anyone know if the games are being livestreamed?

[ISU7]

This is a good idea. Everyone should do it...

Smackover's starters:

F- Khalil Lowery 6'3 Senior.
G- Charles Manning 6'2 Junior.
G- Keiandre Purifoy 5'11 Senior.
F- Hogan Barker 6'3 Senior.
C- Malik Collins 6'2 Senior.

Bench:

G- Omari Wilbourn 5'11 Junior.
G- Payton Jones 6'0 Sophmore.
G- Shadarius Johnson 5'10 Senior.

PB I sure would hate too get hit by a blindside screen set by K Purifoy. it can be bone shattering...lol

[teachers pet]

Jessieville

Alex Burleson guard 6' soph
Dylan Anderson guard 6'2" Jr
Sawyer Lamb guard 6'3" freshman
Hunter Daley guard 6' sr
Steven Benson  post 6'4" jr

[teachers pet]

So far, the refs are letting the kids play unlike at Cedar Ridge.

[Eagle20]

1. Early in the season
2. Fountain Lake coach was a former Lamb player
3. For Fountain Lake, it was a big rivalry game.

For Jessieville, FL it is a big rivalry game.  FL was not very good this year.  Jessieville just kept on getting better!  I have seen both and Jessieville is better but they better come to play vs Centerpoint.  Jessieville by 8

[Ctucker]

Did y'all get cheated at Cedar Ridge?

[brown2010]

McGhee will get mery ruled in other words get beat by 30 or more. understand

[teachers pet]

No, we didn't  get cheated if you're  referring to Jessieville, they were calling touch fouls on everone, we just touch a little more aggressively.

Lets play Did you know. Ok here we go . Did you know that  just a few years ago 2010-11 to be exact, Clarksville won the 4A state championship against 6'10" Hunter Mickelson and the Westside Warriors starting a frosh, soph, and 3 Jrs. with the tallest player on the team only 6'5". If their on the court this late in the season they should be ready.

[Longfellow]

Reaves puts down a two handed jam and then a nice reverse slam. And tossed a nice oop to Crabtree for a two hand slam

[Longfellow]

Reaves has 21 with 5:00 left in the 2nd quarter

[Proud Buckaroo]

Reaves has 21 with 5:00 left in the 2nd quarter

Are you going to be there Friday?

[Longfellow]

I have a kinesiology paper due Friday night, so if I can finish it before then, yes I will be here

[Proud Buckaroo]

I'm going to be there myself. Regardless if we win or not. I want to watch Cedar ridge.

[Longfellow]

Reaves with 25 at the half

[Ponca]

Reaves with 25 at the half

my 1st time to see him in person. He is an ABSOLUTE BEAST. Would love to see him on a 5A team or higher just to see if he could do the same thing.

Btw, love it that 3A state and 5A state are so close. Been to both venues today. Will be back at Jessieville tomorrow and Hot Springs on Friday.

[Ctucker]

Man he scored 73 against forest city. We have beat this horse to death he can do it in 5a and above I think he has 3 huge games against 5a teams this year. Forest city is ranked second in 5 a  I think.

[Longfellow]

Reaves just crossed up a kid who then slid 15 feet across the court, not even an exaggeration. Has either 38 or 40 after 3. CR leads 65-47

[Black and Gold]

If anyone finds the time after the first round, can they post an updated boys bracket?

[Radiotalker]

Pretty sure the bracket in this thread is updated.
