Top 1a players

Congratulations to that young fellow! That's filling it up! Did he play senior high ball as a freshman? I am in no way meaning to demean that accomplishment btw, even if he did that's still a ton of points! I'm just curious.

Yes he and Dustin Utley have started all four years for Bay. I would guess they probably have about as many minutes on the floor together in those four years as anyone around.

Marleigh Dodson  and Kelcie Acklin  of Norfork.

[BannerChaser95]

According to the Jonesboro Sun today Taylor Layne went past the 2000 point mark in his career last week. The article went on to say he has 2068 points to date.

Thats awesome for him!!

[BoxNOne]

Great job by Taylor Layne and the fact that his team has won two state championships makes it even greater!

[Woodrow1]

Marleigh Dodson  and Kelcie Acklin  of Norfork.

I remember when Boone "the ball bearing" Carter was one of the top players around back in the day at Norfork.

[Batman44]

Not as good as Carlton but good job hehe

Not sure if that comment is meant to be for real, or in jest. Either way, and I have never seen Carlton play, and he must be a good player, BUT, no way he is better than Layne.

[Thechosen1]

You sure are high on Carlton man.. better than the reigning 1a finals MVP.. great accomplishment from Taylor Layne, especially being young playing behind the players he did. He's a hard worker and deserves it just as much as anyone.

[Batman44]

Never scene him play but know he's not better. Hmm. Makes since to me

Don't want to take anything away from the young man, but don't need to see him play to know he isn't as good as Layne. If he was as good as you make him out to be, he, AND the team, would get more recognition. Re your spelling, keep working toward your GED.

[Thechosen1]

We'll see what Carlton does in the state tournament this year... if he makes district

[Hero of Twin Groves]

I think all teams make district

[SackAttack]

I think all teams make district

But the high seeds get first round byes!!  High seeds get it Hero??

It was a joke. Lol

Dierks has a post boy #21 that is hard to handle.

i always loved Dierks Bentley thanks for reminding me

[Boomer1]

Is lane even the best player on his team?

Layne is easily the best player In Bay...

[StateChamps09]

... smh, first off hey all it's been awhile! Haha second, Ballard is an elite athlete, hands down, Ealy and Ballard are pretty even in different ways if we're just being honest, however that teams does nothing without their forward; not saying their forward is one of the best in 1a but a forward grabbing the most rebounds in EVERY game makes him stand out pretty well. Still got to give the edge to Ballard as far as pure scoring, but Ealy isn't to far off.

They sure miss Timmy though! Hows his college career coming along?? I have nt been able to keep up with him much!

[StateChamps09]

He is supposedly playing for some semi-pro team in New Orleans, don't ask me how cause it doesn't make sense to me either. Just what's been said threw the wood work.

[Gcmoney22]

What about Travis Lewis from Norfork? Great shooter and defender. Score off the dribble or spot up. Really a great all around player. I have watched Ballsrd play 3 times now and he hasnt impressed me at all. Just a good athlete.

I agree! Also Reynolds and Cooper( A Freshman) from ICC. Cooper is number 5 in his class for the state of Arkansas.

How are those made? I'm watching Cooper tonight at Mt Ida....I seen him at Norfork in district finals, and he's good for a freshman....Not built like one either...

[J.D.]

Wow.

[JimmyChitwood]

The freshman from ICC deserves some talk. He played like a senior and gave ICC a chance to beat Shirley.

[Catfish]

Wow.

That's insane

[Motownsportsfan]

The freshman from ICC was very impressive. I watched him make 2 moves yesterday that were big time   A bright future for that young man. I thought the announcer said 6 ft 4. Is that accurate?

[Motownsportsfan]

#5 from WV on the girls side. When Beyers went to the bench in 3rd against Norfork WV had a huge lead. By the time she came back in the game Norfork was on a huge run. She is the ultimate team player and the one that makes WV go. I thought her Mahan from Nemo girl from Norfork bout the best I saw in 1 A girls.

Agree. Byers is the floor general and sets up the offense and plays good defense and rebounds well for a guard.

Which one from Norfork?  They have two that are really good.  Acklin shoots 47% from behind the line.  Dodson kept them alive yesterday.

How old are the girls from Norfork? I know the PG is a sophomore, and 35 is a senior but that's all I remember.

[Moonshiner]

#10 Dillard is a sophomore.   #25 The left handed guard is a junior.  #30 Dodson, tall one, is a junior. Stowers off the bench is a sophomore.  They moved up a 6'1" freshman and will have a 6'4" freshman next year.
They won't be as deadly from the three point line but might control the paint pretty well.

Wow. They will be good again then. They all shot pretty well against Concord when I seen them 😅 Haha

[Moonshiner]

They lose a lot with Acklin and Scalf graduating.  But should be back and a top 5 team. Bay returns everyone from that region as well.

I thought Bay was young. Doesn't Wonderview bring back most of theirs as well? Guy (depending of the offseason) and Shirley will be nonexistent next year. Shirley loses EVERYONE! Those boys have played together forever and deserve it.

Shirley will make state tourney again but no chance at a win in it

McGowan?

McGowan?

Sorry, she's the left handed guard.  I think she's #25.  She's a junior

What?? They play about 7 maybe 8 players. Aren't they all seniors?

[J.D.]

Once you think about it though, who will be good from our Region next year? (Boys)

Just being somewhat below average might get you into the state tournament next year.

Well yeah that's true. I'm not saying this as just a homer answer but concord has the tools to win region next year I think. Doesn't mean they will, but I definitely think they can. Will be better than they were this year.

[Catfish]

Wonderview returns top 7 players

Oh wow 😳 They will be back 100% positive about that

[Catfish]

JD what does MVE bring back?

[BannerMountainMan]

look at the conf next year.. Concord will be good and maybe Southside and #3 is a junior and #2 is also which plays a pretty good amount and can take #30's role and can prolly shoot a little better..don't count em out yet. And the 8 through 12 players would start on a team like Sacred Heart I believe they are not  good but they can play just not top 15 team caliber like the top 5 from Shirley

[J.D.]

JD what does MVE bring back?

Their best. I imagine they will be good, but they have a lot to improve on. 

MVE will need to find someone to step up and take the pressure of the PG an PF.

[J.D.]

Wonderview returns top 7 players

I've already thought about next year in girl's hoops and think the semi's will look quite similar to this year's
