Who's better in your opinion, Melbourne or Mountain View?  I haven't gotten to see either play this year.

can they beat riverside?

Riverside beat Melbourne by 12 in the NEA tournament. Melbourne does have as good of a 9th grader as I've seen in a while.

Can't say the same about their boys.  Saw them get thumped in the Izard County Tournament.  For being a football school, they sure let a 1a team beat the crap out of em.

Well, they did get thumped by top-5 ICC @ ICC, whose two losses are 4A contender Batesville Southside and 3A EPC on an off night. ICC's Cooper is the best player in 1A right now and led them to the Final Four last year as a freshman, so I'd cut Melbourne a little slack for that game. (and that's very hard for me to do. old rivalries never die.)  Still not a great year for them though. 


Shifting back to girls ball, are Melbourne, MV, and Riverside in the same region?  Things could get mighty interesting toward the end of February if so.

I've seen all 3 quite a few times this year and Riverside is quite a bit better than Melbourne and I'd say 8 to 10 better than Mtn View.
As you all know anything can happen come tournament time and plus they are hosting Regionals.

The boys are not good at all bottom line!! EPC is not a 3A team, they are a mediocre 2A team at best and beat ICC by about 8 or 10. ICC will do fine in a low tier 1A division.

Yes, Melbourne, Mountain View and Riverside are in the same region along with Valley Springs and Hoxie.

No doubt about that! At least one of those five teams Mentioned above won't make state tournament. As for Melbourne girls they are a solid group with one really good player. They hung in with Riverside for three quarters but wore down in the 4th.

Speaking of the IC tourney.  Ive heard the officiating was crooked.

All of those teams that were mentioned earlier outside of perhaps mtn view have lost to 1a teams this year. Idk if mtn view has played any of the top 1a schools.

According to all the "brass" from Melbourne they were screwed.  If you get beat by 22 by a 1a school and that team has one of their worst shooting performances of the year, you should be feeling pretty lucky your tough football school boys were even in the game in the 2nd quarter.

eamo8911

Of course Melbourne was "screwed" @ ICC. Old rivalries never die. ICC would probably say the same thing if the roles and location were reversed.  But, i still wish they played every year in regular season, and in Melbourne's old gym. I'll never forget that atmosphere   and that stupid huddle thing the Melbourne boys did back in the Davidson days. Anyone know where those two boys are now?

eamo8911

What 1A school did riverside lose to?

RedWolf275

Bay girls by 1 in NEA. Riverside beat Bay by 10 and 12 the other two games.

To me Early Season  and holiday break losses or wins,  hold very little Water.  If you're a good coach your looking to peak right about 1 to 2 weeks from now, can't afford to learn many lessons in the state tourney or any tourney really!

Lots of excuses being tossed out all of a sudden!

Been a few years, last I heard Patrick was in Colorado and Jordan I think was in New York

Like Melbourne over Mtn View girls although i think Mtn View has the most talent.   Melbourne small .  Coaching should play a big role in this matchup.

Melbourne Sr Girls about to get stronger when the other two 9th graders move up.

Heard there were gonna be some last minute changes to the district bracket. Something about some ineligible players???

Mtn View..... that was definitely proven in their District final.....MV Mercy Ruled them, Melbourne was in SHOCK!
Melbourne is not a bad team, but MV blended conference had tougher teams that MV had to play, making them even better in the long run. Plus MV just has more talent as a whole team.

Yeah, was not expecting that at all.  Now, the question is MV or Riverside?  Riverside only beat Melbourne by 12 in the NEA.  Was Riverside not with it during that game? Was Melbourne just not with it Saturday, or is MV gonna steam roll the #1?  Can't wait to see.  Of course, MV has to get past Hoxie first, who I hear is pretty salty.

RedWolf275

If Mt View is the real deal, they should have no problem with Hoxie. Riverside has handled them easily twice.

That MTN View game vs Two Rivers was a dandy.

3A has several good girls teams. Going to be some good regional and state matchups!
