The old rivalry- Charleston vs Episcopal

[Lrbasketballguru]

No words needed here... Fire away

[iliveformarch]

Episcopal by 20.... then they beat Mayflower by 10 to win the title.

[Ponca]

Episcopal by 20.... then they beat Mayflower by 10 to win the title.

Yup.

[neds]

I think Charleston has the advantage in this one. Nothing to lose
Lots of pressure on Episcopal

[WPWells]

I think on paper ECS has the advantage, but of course I'm a homer so I think Charleston wins. I think the Tigers go out with revenge on their minds and play their best game of the season

P.S. We all know how iliveformarch's prediction came out today

[teachers pet]

Like I've said before, conference 5 best in state. Episcopal and Mayflower will be in finals.

[BigWolfC/O2017]

If Charleston gets a strong drive and kick game they will win no doubt

[WPWells]

No way you can say Charleston wins no doubt. ECS is way too good for that

I don't think there is a truer statement. I'm pretty sure that's a big reason behind the major upset in 2A yesterday.

[Ctucker]

I don't think they have pressure on them they already have a state ring there just going to enjoy there 2nd.The pressure is on charleston, I think.

I think pressure is on both teams: ECS to defend their title and Charleston to avenge their loss to ECS. However, to suggest ECS is "just going to enjoy their 2nd" ring tells me you are uninformed. Episcopal should not, and I'm almost certain does not, think they will cruise to victory over Charleston.

[Ctucker]

ECS is the better team if they play up to their potential they will win.IMO. They really don't look like a team that pressure bothers them,don't see them playing tight. But It could happen,just don't think it will.

[lanecamper54]

Hey, that's why you play the game. You never know....Parkview has been  the Overall ranked #1  team all season and they saw their year come to an end sooner than expected today thanks to Pine Bluff in 6A. That's what's so great about the game of basketball!

[Ctucker]

This is true.

Well said.

[hornethigh-mhs]

When's the game?

[urban legend2]

Tomorrow, 5 p.m.

[Skip Baymore]

On paper, I think most of us agree that ECS should win (win out).  But Chucktown is a real good, veteran and saavy team who makes this game very interesting.  Not the night for ECS to be off.  Im not sure about calling this the "old rivalry" though.  Unless you are extremely young.  I mean 3 years old or less.

[Rebel82]

Go Wilcats !!

[smallybells]

I think ECS wins this one and they have already beat Mayflower by 30+.

[cdelaney]

Episcopal by 20.... then they beat Mayflower by 10 to win the title.

It will be different for ECS today. They will not completely dominate on the boards like they have vs Paris and Flippin, won't force as many turnovers, and may not shoot as well as they did Sunday. They will have to play well to win. I expect a close game. Ward can keep Charleston in it by himself.

[neds]

Ward will need a lot of help today.

[teachers pet]

You cannot run with Episcopal,  you have to slow it down like Jessieville did in conference championship.

[Jimbo Morphis]

pressure is 5 kids and 1 chicken. this is a game. Episcopal by 10

[JeanClaudeVanHam]

Will be rooting for Charleston. But I think ECS wins by 25.

[RTF]

ECS by 25-30...

[WPWells]

Keep doubting

[pioneers]

12th man where is ward going to play college ball at?

[WPWells]

Honestly couldn't tell you. He hasn't announced anything yet. I know he likes UCA

[Radiotalker]

Honestly couldn't tell you. He hasn't announced anything yet. I know he likes UCA

Cool....I'm a UCA guy and they need help.

[ZoneBuster]

Prediction time: ECS 67 Charleston 53

[WPWells]

Charleston by 3 because I'll never pick against the Tigers

[cdelaney]

Charleston by 3 because I'll never pick against the Tigers

And you shouldn't, because they're your team, and more importantly 90% of FF 3A posters would die from a stroke or heart attack if you did.

[HeadTiger]

😂😂

[hawgsroll]

My Pick!!

ECS            68
Charleston   51

[Rebel82]

Go Wildcats !!

[neds]

12th are you nervous?

[WPWells]

I'm always nervous about any Charleston game I can't attend. I was nervous about Charleston-Two Rivers football (no offense Longfellow). So to answer your question, yes I'm nervous, but no more nervous than normal

[BigMan15]

Ecs 71
Tigers 56

[neds]

Good deal , me too!
Good luck today, hope all play safe

This line really cracked me up. Hilarious!  Thank you.

[neds]

Are they still playing at 5?

[WPWells]

Game has started. I can't get the live stream going. 11-10 ECS with about 3 minutes to go in the first per twitter

[WPWells]

Radio stream is working. I'm going to try to give somewhat of a play by play on the score thread

[neds]

Good deal

[WPWells]

Actually I will start a new thread in case people want to chatter

[Eagle20]

You cannot run with Episcopal,  you have to slow it down like Jessieville did in conference championship.

Harmony Grove ran with Episcopal and it was a 1 possession game with :13.  It can be done.  Theyost 62-57.

Pretty close...great season for the Tigers though..nothing to be ashamed of.

[neds]

Agree Bigman, ECS is a buzz saw this year
