[jbtiger73]

Clarendon girls?

[BrianfromCarlisle]

Yeah. I think they build off of last year.  Coach Perry has the girls playing hard for him.  And they have some talent.

[BigLion10]

Clarendon had some talent in girls last year could build on it as brian said

[BrianfromCarlisle]

The girl that moved up at the end of last season can play. 

[BigLion10]

Yes she can can jump too

[BigLion10]

If Carlisle can get some help for the sophomore sensation they will be a top team imo

[mustang12]

They only won 4 games last year and lost their best player. Don't sleep on Marvell or Augusta. We still have some weapons.

[BigLion10]

Who lost there best player?

[mustang12]

Carlisle. It was the big post

[BrianfromCarlisle]

Not hardly

[BrianfromCarlisle]

They have talent. And the new coach will bring out the best in them. There was too much I in last years team.  That won't be the case this year.  Just suffice it to say that this team will surprise with just how good they can be.

[BigLion10]

Gotcha muatang

[mustang12]

Augusta still has size plus the 6'8" kid. They also move up a very good point guard. Don't understand how you keep them out of the top 4?

[BrianfromCarlisle]

They didn't play as a team last year.  They don't utilize the big guy at all.  Unless that changes, no reason to do so. 

[BigLion10]

The big kid didn't impress me hardly at all the times I saw him play

[BrianfromCarlisle]

Me neither 

[mustang12]

Didn't they finish 3rd last year and get to the 2nd round of state??? Impressive if they didn't play team ball.

[BrianfromCarlisle]

Imagine if they would've used the big man.

[Bildo]

Carlisle girls won the conference last year and are not losing a starter. I would think it is theirs to lose. Clarendon has talent and is well coached. If they stay on the roll from last year they can definitely contend. Carlisle, like last year, again has only one senior this year. They were very young last year and will show improvement.

[BigLion10]

Tell the phenom girl at Carlisle she is always welcome to come compete for a title at England just messin with u brian u comin over to the game tonight?

[BrianfromCarlisle]

I will be there.  And she is just fine in Carlisle,thank you very much!!!  Lol

[BigLion10]

Lol I hear ya man. We have a freshman this year who could possibly be as good as the twins were but we'll have to see

[Bildo]

The sophomore from Carlisle says she is allergic to purple. lol😅😅

[BigLion10]

That's a shame lol

[MomaLion]

Clarendon girls?

You better believe it, our girls are really good with the addition of JT who holds numerous track state titles as a 9th grader and can dunk.

[MomaLion]

Augusta still has size plus the 6'8" kid. They also move up a very good point guard. Don't understand how you keep them out of the top 4?

The big guy plays too soft.

[MomaLion]

Didn't they finish 3rd last year and get to the 2nd round of state??? Impressive if they didn't play team ball.

They have athletes and that will always help, but when they come against a disciplined team, they go down.

[Silky Johnson]

When Bay routed Augusta last year at the NEA they were giving the big guy the ball but you didn't really have to guard anyone else. They had some decent guard play but not much exceptional shooting.

[Bildo]

The Lady Bison also have players moving up from Jr. High that played on last year's undefeated Conference and District Tournament Championship team that will provide some added depth and scoring. They have 4 All-Conference and 1 All-State players returning. Should be a great season...

[BrianfromCarlisle]

One thing is for sure Bildo, there will be competition this season, which should greatly benefit teams heading into postseason. In years past, the lack of real competition in conference has hurt the Lady Bison come postseason.

[Bildo]

Agreed, and by looking at the restructuring of the regular season next year... We are gonna have our share of really good teams.

[BigLion10]

I keep telling yall you're best player will be wearing purple in the coming year. Just messing with ya brian

[Bildo]

You're a hoot!!  She just looks better in black and gold

[BigLion10]

Gotta pass during the week sometime lol. Hopefully we meet up sometime in the year with each other

[BrianfromCarlisle]

I was able to confirm that she actually IS allergic to purple.  So, for obvious health reasons, she will be staying in Carlisle! 

[BigLion10]

Well darn guess I'll be up crying myself to sleep all night Good Luck to the lady bison this upcoming year

[BrianfromCarlisle]

Same to the purple lions!!

[Bildo]

Ditto, good luck! We're going to need a little more luck than yall. England returns some very good talent and has a proven track record

[JJYahoo]

I say Carlisle Lady Bison make the state tournament this year and after you get there you never know what could happen.

[mustang12]

I agree with that. Lady Bison finally break through and make some noise in state. With all that talent it would be disappointing if they didn't.

[Bildo]

Their first two games of the season are against Lonoke and Poyen. That should provide the answers to a lot of questions...

[BrianfromCarlisle]

Carlisle's senior point guard informed me that she has been working out.  She will throw down a few dunks this season!!  😏

[JJYahoo]

From what I have heard from various sources is that they have been coming in the morning at 6:45 and working hard!

[Bildo]

That is true. There has been a lot of focus on getting better defensively. I like seeing good defensive play, no matter what sport I watch. By dictating the game on the defensive side, should help in getting more people involved on the other end.

[BrianfromCarlisle]

That's great news!  that has always been an achille's heel in years past.  This group of girls are athletic enough to dictate a game defensively.

[BigLion10]

Lonoke and poyen will be two early good tests for the lady bison
