If you vote early, be aware that the projected teams are placed in this  poll by seeding and may move to another game. If you select a projected team and the seeding turns out different, you just voted for the team who rightfully earns the spot.


And, yes, I did toy with the idea of throwing a Spring Hill vs Marked Tree game in there. I was afraid that it would confuse some folks. ;D

Also, thanks to the home town folks from previous tournaments, I know to eat at the Flying Burger in eldo, Nick's Barbeque in Carlisle, the little Mexican joint in Hampton, and an assortment of fine places around the state.

Where is THE spot to get some good grub around Marked Tree?

Straightup

It is my understanding that Conway St Joe will be the 3 from the West, Mountainburg will be the 4 (coin toss). Hector and Bigelow will flip tonight to determine the 1 and 2

True Fan

Corrected per the coin flip.

How about the fields? 70% tonight and 80% chance of rain tomorrow. Will they be playable?

On a side not, THANK YOU for actually having two fields in one location before bidding on the tourney.

What an absolutely beautiful day here in south central Arkansas.

Wish we were playing softball.

OMG,  why aren't they using both fields.

True Fan

Don't know all of the details. DD just said that our game was moved back to 2:30. I doubt that they will use both fields.

The best guess as to why they wouldn't would be that they are trying to let Hector live the dream as long as possible. ;D

HorseFeathers

Hector's 3 seniors will definitely miss graduation today then if they made the choice to play. . .

searkhogfan

Some of their fans said the 2 sr's that don't start will go back for graduation.

HorseFeathers

if i didn't get a lot of playing time that what i'd do to.

Not using 2 fields is about $$$$$$$$$. concessions shirt sales etc. Not bad for local business having folks stay couple extra nights.

Baseball uses 2 fields on day2. Same rules ought to apply.

Reflexn

It rained all night, half the morning. From what I saw, they were concentrating on getting, at least, one field playable.  Our area has had over 5 inches of soaking rain the past 4-5 days.

1:00 BIC vs St. Joe
3:00 Magnet Cove vs Junction
5:00 Foreman vs. Bigelow
7:00 Hector vs Woodlawn

With a runner on, BIC's Kelsey Strickland sends one over to make the score 4-0 in the bottom of the 5th.

My daughter will be glad to hear that JC/MC score.

She plays for CMS....they played MC well 3 weeks ago and had they hit the ball would have pulled the upset, then got shellacked at district. Looks like the Lady Panthers are gonna be her biggest rival the next couple of years...plus she has friends over there. Lol....;D

Comments much appreciated! Graduate only 1 this year and 1 the next with more help on the way. Pitcher is a freshman. Hopefully we will be around for a while

Haven't really kept up with softball this year but I take it that Foreman is the team to beat?

Gonna be tough to keep that pitcher when those bigger schools come knocking at the door. I've seen this happen way too many times.

It is not uncommon but hopefully it won't be an issue. Some parents believe that moving their kids up in classification will significantly improve their chances of playing after hs. I Haven't noticed many college coaches in attendance at high school games, regionals, or even state tournaments, not that I would recognize all of them. I just don't believe there is much recruiting done during the high school season, IMHO. Of course that decision won't be up to me.
