Oh how surprised you'll be when you see Monticello. 🎁🎁🎁

Why do you say that?

Gray lizard

Pottsville had a move in from OK.  He is expected to be a major contribution to the team.  Look for a great year with the returning talent.

   Will the 2 bigs (6-7 & 6-6) at Brookland be contributing factors?

Bauxite and ESTEM definitely have the best shot of knocking off Baptist Prep. They play extremely hard and tough and have given Baptist a lot of fight in the past. They have both come really close to beating Baptist and now that Connor Vanover is gone it is much easier. Baptist Prep is definitely not the overwhelming number one team. Honestly everyone says they are number one just because they won the last two years but Bauxite has an extremely balanced team and ESTEM just brought some new big people in. Baptist does not have any real scorers other than Issac Mcbride but we will see how things play out. Southside Batesville and Brookland also has a really high chance of beating Baptist if they were to play.

I saw Stuttgart play at the Brinkley tournament and they have some monsters. They knocked off a tough Riverview team led by JT Smith last night.

Most if not all of the Stuttgart starters have been starting on the Sr. High team since they were freshman. And they're juniors this year.

I watched southside beat a bad 3a team and thought they were the favorites, but after watching them in the hurricane classic, I'm not to sure anymore. The big kid needs to touch the ball every possession and Alex needs to step it up. Their guards are not as good as I thought they were.

I was very unimpressed watching Southside play.. People built them up to be a force and I just don't see it.

Do you know anything about their game against Jonesboro Westside because I saw that they beat Westside by 1 point. I feel like Westside would have won the game if Southside was not playing that well. Westside played a competitive game against North Little Rock and made a ton of threes against them. Avery Felts and Riley Felkins I heard are playing great and Gage Sheffield is contributing more this year.

I'm not saying they're not a good team, I'm just saying based off of the game I saw I wasn't overly impressed and didn't see a team that will win state. But, I have a small sample size so it could have just been an off night.

Isn't Baptist Prep the team that has a player over seven foot tall?
No, Connor Vanover transferred to Findlay Prep in Nevada.

Top 5:
1. Baptist- Until someone beats them
2. Pottsville- Return alot
3. Warren- Return alot w/ a good transfer
4.Batesville SS- Return alot
5. Pea Ridge- Growing school/ alot of talent

Who is the Warren transfer? I believe warren returns 4 starters from last years team. Also have stepped who moved up as a freshman last year. And they return all state player Treylon Burks.

The 7-4A boys should be competitive again this year. Ashdown, Bauxite, Nashville, and Robinson are all good teams. Malvern has rebuilt, them and Mena are sleepers to keep an eye on.

4A-3  Westside and Brookland seem the 2 top teams so far, Don't sleep on Trumann though, tough group

I still think Bauxite is the best team in that conference

For sure, Westside and Brookland are both top five teams in 4a and people are sleeping on them if they do not think they are capable of winning the 4a state title. Both teams have incredible talent but Avery Felts still stands out amongst them all. I would probably give Brookland the coaching nod.

Good game this Saturday night in the finals of Dual State at JC. Nashville vs Warren, a rematch of last years south regional championship.

Looks like Warren has beat McGhee and Junction city so far.

That's two good teams to open things up against.

Nashville has played some really bad teams so far.  Finally get a game Friday at Prescott.  Warren will be by far the best team Nashville has played.  Interested to see if Nashville is as good as they look or if its just the lack of competition.

thabeast428

Junction didn't look so good lol but is without their big man til after Christmas. Although it wouldn't of made a big difference bc Warren had a good Defense and can shoot the 3 if left open

STUNNA

Warren should get better once the basketball players get to playing more.

Whats Warren doing on defense this year?

thabeast428

They're real quick to the ball and have a big man down low that they didn't really use that much. Guess it was more of a zone defense

ABC™

I think they played mostly a 1-3-1 last year.  They have returned just about everyone from last year.  Very impressive defense the few times I saw them.  Plus, incredible athleticism and size.

thabeast428

Yea they're good. It was only 20-16 at half but they came out firing on all cylinders and jc couldn't answer other than turning the ball over 20+ times it seemed. I hope we can turn it around and be competitive but not looking so good for first game of the year

How did Burks and Steppes look?

Burks is just a beast... in any sport. Will take him a while to get some touch back, but is probably averaging 15-20 rebounds in first three games... he is just a difference maker.

Steppes ball handling and shooting is not where it needs to be yet... but he will get there. He is still fearless when taking it inside.

The team is primarily playing a 2-3 zone on defense and a motion offense.

The outside shooting of this team will be better than last year, but still not great. The team just has size all over the floor and on the bench.

Maybe for a small college but definitely division 1 for football. Hopefully the hogs can land him.

Quan Sanders the kid with the short dreads is a monster and would get D1 offers if he played for a better AAU team than the local one in Stuttgart. He is the 2nd best player in the state behind McBride. He has a college shooting guard body right now and has skill to back up his athleticism.

Yea I need to update the rankings soon. I just do the rankings for fun and to see what others think too. I have never heard or seen this Quan Sanders guy and do not see his name on Stuttgart's roster. Also could not pull up any videos of him playing. Have not seen Stuttgart play this year but I am sure he is a good player. Do you know why his name is not on the roster?

[/I forgot his legal name is David Quan Walker he is #11 for Stuttgart my bad. Don't know where sanders came from but he also is a star football player for Stuttgart. He already has a college ready body with strength coming from football. I hope a sponsored AAU team could come see him play so he can get on a team and showout this summer to gain some offers because that local team won't get him anything at all i doubt.
