Haven't talked to ya Bleudog since the Big Game in LR. Hows it goin? If you haven't got a chance to watch the Dragons BBall team this year you should try to make a game. They still look like a good football team at times. LOL! I think that once they get rolling into district tourney and finally get into BBall shape they are going to be a solid squad. I watched them play Hampton, and at times it looked like they were going to put the game away, but sometimes it looked like they were trying to figure out which sport they were playing. The DG had them ranked #1 today, but I think that is a little high for right now. They were the only team in the top 6 that has played less than 15 games, and most have played 20+. JC has only played 8 so you can bet they still have a lot of improving to do compared to everyone else.

They may be worthy of a #1, but let's take a closer look when the Dragons have played 12-15 games. Aren't the two private schools in the list new to 2A? AL must be playing up alot to be ranked 3rd with 7 losses.
You know the problem with Arkansas basketball is the big difference in playing styles in different areas of the state. A team that dominates in a conference or area that plays a slow, fundamental game may not fare very well in an area that plays a fast-paced, physical game. Records and rankings can be thrown out the window. The question can come down to what kind of game are the refs used to seeing.
Is Meecio a senior this year?
From the El Dorado News Times:
HERMITAGE -
.........Junction City's senior boys cruised to a 73-41 victory. Shumeecio Lark led the Dragons (8-1, 3-0) with 16 points. Chris Flowers scored 15 with seven rebounds and Rodney Larry scored 10. Alan Turner contributed eight points and six rebounds. J.D. Carter scored eight with Josh Allen recording five rebounds, four blocks and four steals. Ten players scored for the Dragons............
•Junction City basketball hosts Stephens, beginning at 5 p.m.
anyone have a schedule of JC?
Yep, this is Meccio's last year. I think that after JC plays 15 or 16 games, they MIGHT be a top 6 team. Right now, I think that ranking is a little high. It's not that I don't think they have the potential, but they clearly are not yet in basketball shape. This is still only the 4th week they have been practicing basketball.

According the the schedule D#40 was so kind to post:
Jan 26-31
I have heard there are still some games they'd like to fill and if they don't get the teams they may start the tournament later in the week.
What teams are in it?
From the El Dorado News Times:
Junction City 57, Dermott 49
DERMOTT - Shumeecio Lark scored 24 points, as the Dragons (14-1, 9-0) came away with a big win in 2A-7 East play.
J.D. Carter and Rodney Larry were in double figures with 13 and 11 points respectively, while Josh Allen chipped in with eight points and 10 rebounds.

Tried to catch the teams on the radio ad. Believe they said: Junction City, Summerfield (LA), Haynesville (LA), Fordyce, Hermitage and Strong. Even with both a boys and girls tournament, I'm sure they'd like to have twice as many teams.
What has happened to Dual State?!? They used to have to turn teams away and now they can't more than 6 to 8 teams to play?

I'll tell you , sugar. JC has found yet another way to blow a chance at a state title. They have mastered the art in football and now it seems they have succeeded in basketball.
Someone succeeded in running off what appeared to be a very compotent coach of what was then the # 1 team in 2A ball. He had them stroking on all cylinders at the time. Since this debacle, they have stumbled and may not be able to regain their form in the playoffs.
Why in the world, except for a moral or criminal situation,(and I don't believe that was the case) would you be so stupid to start this distraction in the middle of the season. Anything that was done or not done in this case, could have been handled after the season was over. :-\

Man that did take Dragon I's decoder ring.
I read it straight from the paper and didn't realize the job they did in transferring it to the site.
Hope they don't consider my straightening that gibberish out a copyright violation. ;D
......It also makes him fodder for some of the rowdiest fans for visiting players.
"People in the crowds will go look up information about you. Anything you did bad, they throw it out at you during the game. They holler at you the whole time," said Anderson of the Big 12 fans. "Some of my teammates have done stuff in the past so they'll have a lot on them. But, the funniest thing I heard last year, there was this one dude from Baylor. He was talking about everybody on our team. He got to me and he said, 'uh, uh.' He didn't have nothing to say so he started stuttering, 'uh, uh big ears.' that's all he had to say and I thought that was funny.
Opposing fans could have two more years to try and dig up some dirt on Anderson, who said he hasn't given much thought to the NBA and is focusing on Oklahoma State, right now. As he continues to work on his complete game, Anderson's coach believes his star is on the right track to the next level.
"I think if he continues the improvement he's shown, one day I think James could be a lottery pick," said Ford. "He's shown that much improvement. He's that coachable. I think the sky is the limit for him. If he continues to improve like he has, I think James could eventually be a lottery pick."
Wow you are right slayer...... I mean the coach resigned RESIGNED not fired came in on Monday and quit. Gosh they should have begged him to stay, right. Would'nt you want a guy that tried to quit on his kids, i believe most coaches number 1 rule to their players is don't quit, to lead them. There is a term that refers to the gluteus maximus and it's lack of intelligence. Sounds like we've found a new name for you.

For yo' information, Sugar, I never said he was fired. The honest fact is that
something happened and he is no longer the coach of a state title contending team. That just strikes me as odd (kinda like you). Every
one else may think that's normal and want to keep their head in the sand saying it was all Allen. That's thier right. Just like I have a right to disagree.
I've been called by that name many times, Sugar! It's by no means a new name. All the hunks call me that, but they usually add the word
SWEET! :-* :-* :-* :-*
Hey DG (Dumb Gluteus), someone running him off right. Your quote. He ran himself off. Go kiss your beavers. We at JC accept and love your hate. Nobody hates the beavers. Who are the beavers my point. Bye DG

I am so glad you know all those big words, Sugar. What is more impressive is that you can even use them in a sentence. That disproves two commonly held beliefs: 1) a JC education is about as useless as dental floss at a Razorback football game 2) there is no such thing as an educated moron. ;)

There you go again thinking you all dat. I must be having some effect cuz you keep flapping yo' gums. There's and old saying " It's better to be thought of us as an idiot than to open ones mouth and remove all doubt." BTW, I've got some "bling" you can gaze at, Sugar. :o
For someone who is supposed to be so smart, maybe you can get papadragon(if there is one)to explain to you who the "beavers" are in which I referred. :D
I don't spend any time wishing JC will lose. They have done a fine job on their own in big games the last several years. Why would I want to jinx someone who has made me a lot of money. ??? Y'all are a sure bet, to choke. ;)
As my collegues discuss your feelings of angst. Dr. Joyce Borothers talked about a certain type of envy. You don't have that probably had way too much of that anyway.Well it loks like you have bling envy. No cure for that, just bury yourself in your career, so get at the front of Walmart and welcome away.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn! Is that all you got, Sugar? I thought you was gonna be mo' better than this. Oh well. I hope Wilson didn't lose any money. ;)
Sounds like you really understand the intricasies of blowing things.Sounds like some current or former dragon must have "briefly" visited you causing this personal hatred of this fine noble town. By the way only paramutual gambling is allowable in the state of Arkansas. Plus after perusing your vernacular I'll venture to say that you have'nt won very much because I really doubt your ability to make money legally. Now if......................................
you've been spanked by mama.
We'll, before I respond to the morons at hand, let me congratulate JC on winning the regional. You have shown a lot of guts and determination to come back and play against all the adversity.
Now, here we go. MD, since you want everyone to think you are so smart, why don't you try the spell check feature, Sugar. ;)
FF, I have been spanked by "mama" many times, but she wasn't some wanna be loser JC fan. As far as MD, I've had pimples in the crack of my butt that have given me more trouble. However, I will agree with you completely on one point. If (and that's a big if) a Dragon had visited me, it would have been "Brief" because we all know the Dragons have a problem with premature.............We'll lets just say they seem to be known for anticlimatic finishes. :o
Factually speaking you did emphasize big, like Dragons. You really should not disclose the amount of sores that are in the gluteal region of your body. I feel that this could really hurt your income earning potential.
the pimples in the crack of your arse might have played a part in the anticlimatic finishes you have experienced from your partners so here is a little friendly advice "sugar".......wash your nasty arse.
ah pimp, good to see that the rumors of your demise was false. and slayer with both of us on here go to church and repent for your evil doings, and maybe we will be merciful.
Once again, you have shown yourselves to be the classless losers that most on here believe you to be. MD, it sounds like you and JC pimp are the ones that should be in church. JC pimp, thank you for your concern regarding my hygiene, but my "arse" is very sweet and delicious. If you like, you can kiss it and see. :o MD, you sure seem to have an infatuation with prostitution. You have eluded to it several times in your posts. But hey, who am I to knock someone for having role models. :D
you 2 really should have your own show........lotta good material here!
Never once did I mention the oldest profession. I surely hope that you did not insinuate that out of my posts. So it kind of makes you wonder who has the facination. Well I must go contemplate the complexities of life. Please don't call me moron. It really hurts the 1 and one half feelings I have left. Stay out of them truckstops SUGAR.

Hughes was actually outscored each qtr until the 4th.
I've seen them play and knew they could be explosive, but the 6 pt 4th qtr for JC was what surprised me most.

What makes you think "half the Dragons" fouled out? I could be wrong but I don't think any fouled out. Hughes just wouldn't give up and, I'm not disrespecting, but, JC was outplayed and outcoached in the 4th qtr. I thought JC had the better team but Carpenter didn't seem to have any idea of what to do once Hughes started coming back and once they took the lead you could sense it was over.

Let's not forget, Hughes was a conference champion in the regular season and tourney and lost 1 contest. They are the best 4 seed in this tourney. It's all about match-ups in post season. AL and CSJ were not good match-ups for Hughes on top of them playing bad last week. They matched up well with JC and I had a good feeling about this game.
JC shouldn't hang their heads. This group has won a state title and some big games. I know blowing a 16 point lead sucks, but That is just how it is when you play in March.

Anyone looking at only the score through three quarters would have gotten the impression JC was in control of the game. The Dragons "won" each of those quarters although the per quarter spread got smaller as the game progressed. (+7, +4, +1)
For any team to lose the kind of lead JC lost in the fourth quarter, guessing fouls or injuries would seem a reasonable option. Having now read the game write up, looks like neither happened and I stand corrected.
Congratulations to Hughes on a quality win and good luck to them for the remainder of the tournament. With the possible exception of NEt, most of their supporters on this board seem to be quality people.
My hat's off to this year's Dragons. Having to go through the coaching upheaval they had to endure was unfortunate. Keep your heads high Dragons. YOU stuck it out till the "fat lady sang."
El Dorado News Times game article and photo: CLICK HERE (http://www.emailthis.clickability.com/et/emailThis?clickMap=viewThis&etMailToID=812701185)
I was "watching" the score on Melbourne's website. I thought JC leading by 12 entering the fourth was enough, then I kept watching as Hughes began to outscore JC in the fourth. When it got to be 20-4 in the fourth I knew the Dragons were in deep trouble. A stringer wrote the story for the ED paper. He never really said why or how Hughes made the huge turnaround. Really a shocking finish, considering Hughes is a very young team. I think he started two freshmen and a sophomore or two.
BTW... Hughes has a lot of underclassmen starting and not much more than 7 players who play.
I started to leave at halftime, when the majority of the crowd did, but decided to stay and watch two good teams play it out. I'm glad I did, not because Hughes came back or JC lost, it was just fun to watch them play(actually I might have been pulling for JC, Sporty Carpenter is respected in my family). You're right about the youth, I think Hughes had one senior starting and the young guns. They could be a force to be reckoned with the next few years.
give us your input on the fourth quarter. Did JC quit or just go stoned-cold from the field? What happened?
Not an answer to your question, but here's the blurb from the ADG:
HUGHES 64, JUNCTION CITY 54
MELBOURNE — Jalen Smith sank consecutive three-pointers to bolster Hughes in an upset of top-seeded Junction City. Smith made his three-pointers from well beyond the arc, and Tory Hatton got a key putback as Hughes went up by six with 1:19 to play after Junction City had led the entire game. Rodney Larry and Shumeecio Lark each scored 17 for Junction City.

give us your input on the fourth quarter. Did JC quit or just go stoned-cold from the field? What happened?
JC went cold, I think they scored 4 points in the first couple of minutes then didn't score again until a dunk right before the buzzer. Hughes slowly but surely chipped away and once they took the lead, I don't think JC quit as much as it was one of those deals where everything starts going bad, snowballs and you just can't stop it.
I've been there since 2:00 today or I would have replied sooner. Melbourne looked mostly good and won, Abundant Life won but didn't look real good doing it.
Blake Griffin got the media attention and Oklahoma got the win, but noticed this in the write up about yesterday's OSU-OU game:
"Oklahoma State's James Anderson scored 37 points to tie the most points ever scored in the Bedlam rivalry, and he got the Cowboys (20-10, 9-7) within 77-74 in the final 2 minutes when he connected on a 3-pointer from the left wing.......Anderson matched the Bedlam scoring record set by Oklahoma State's Leroy Combs in the 1981 game in Norman."

Final
James Anderson ties it up with a free throw and then hits the game winning free throw with less than three seconds left.
Not bad for a young man who was playing in Duel State two years ago.

What does Junction City have coming back next year?
Lark and Carter were seniors.
Turner, Ross and Larry should be back.
Not sure what Hill's status is.
What does the upcoming freshman class look like?
Who is Hill?
Is this job still open? Who is in the running for it?
Understand the girls coach at Caddo Hills, Kendall Hutcheson, might be the man to lead the boys team in Dragonland next season.
http://caddohills.dsc.k12.ar.us/coaches.htm
From an EDNT article on spring football practice:
"Head coach David Carpenter welcomed several new players to Monday's practice, and the team's new coach, Ken Hutchinson, who was hired as the boys basketball coach and assistant football coach.
Hutchinson was at Caddo Hills this past season."
Not a bad way to get a little 2A football coaching experience.

JA only had two points at the half and got those just before the half ended. He had a monster second half though and ended up with 19. Great reverse layup and no look bounce pass assist the announcers were amazed at. They also made a comment that they were talking with OSU's Keaton Paige about how small a town he came from. Keaton said the town he was from only had two stop lights. They said James then told them he could beat that. He was from Junction City, AR and it only had one stop light. ;D

James casts a pretty big shadow in more ways than one and I just wanted everybody to know Rodney did a great job for the Dragons this year on the hard court.
Did you see the picture I posted on the 2A football board about how they're coming along with the field house?
Yeah I saw it.....its going up pretty fast. I have been told that the foundation takes the most time......once they get that down the rest is pretty much bolt together......Then of course they will have to finish the inside.....but the basic building goes quickly.

Wilson, are there team pictures of the state championship baseball teams floating around anywhere in JC? As much wall as that new building looks like it'll have, must be some place to display those things. I know Taylor puts theirs in the lobby of their basketball gym.
I have copies of the 72, 77, 80, 81, and 89 teams. No idea where to find the 92 and 04 pics....but somewhere at the school there should be copies from the annual staffs of those years I would think. Would be nice....although I was told at one time that the baseball state title trophies were moved and not viewable for a while by the then coach cause he "didnt want the players living in the past".......or so I was told. That was when I was living in Bossier and didnt have much contact with anyone other than coach Hux.........so I'm nost sure if the baseball pics would rank to high on the priority list....lol
Would be nice to see big versions of them up on the walls.....maybe even some championship banners for the 7 baseball titles, 3 in football and the one in basketball.....considering its supposed to be a "multi purpose" building.

How and the heck do you give a 20-point 2nd half lead. Those kids looked lost out there when the pressure was on in the EPC game. They looked like they panicked even the coach looked panicked. JC was by far the most talented team in 2A this year... The play calling was pretty bad at the end...
JC is very talented, but not by far above everybody. They are by far the most athletic team out there. Bell is an absolute monster, a double double everytime he walks on the floor. Evans is a scoring machine, quick as a cat. EVeryone else played their rolls and JC coul dhave used one of those guys stepping up and making a shot.
JC played great ball in the first half. Dominated the boards and was out and running, forced some turnovers and EPC gave them some to. JC took advantage and was rolling. The 3 by Monk at the buzzer was huge. JC had just gotten a basket and would have had all the momentum going in to half if not for that.
I thought the game was over when they went back up 17 after EPC made a little run. After that timeout though JC played tight. They really didnt stall but looked torn between taking open shots or running the clock. you go to have confidence in what your doing. EPC's pressure and not really winning the boards but at least battling with them changed the game.
JC never quit though and the back and fourth at the end made for great basketball. Both teams making big plays and big shots down the stretch. I thought Bells block on Monk was one of the best sequences Ive seen at any level. It was a fun game to watch and my voice is still recovering.

How and the heck do you give a 20-point 2nd half lead. Those kids looked lost out there when the pressure was on in the EPC game. They looked like they panicked even the coach looked panicked. JC was by far the most talented team in 2A this year... The play calling was pretty bad at the end...
is over
EPC never lost composure in the 2nd half and that may have been a contributing factor to JC's collapse. Think they expected EPC to fold and it didn't happen. JC played an excellent game. Their speed and athleticism was a surprise. They hit some great shots and their inside game was dominating. EPC came out in the 2nd half and they seemed to adjust to the quickness and JC's defensive presence in the lane. JC went into panic mode the final 5 minutes.
No doubt EPC played a lot better in the 2nd half and never gave up. I shouldn't have said JC was the best team in 2A because if that was true they would be playing Saturday instead of setting home. But they are without a doubt the most talented and athletic team in 2A and probably 3A and 4A as well. They played 10 players easily. And I think that could have hurt them to. Win you trying to win you have to play your best five players. I seen the Bell kid setting on the bench a lot in the 4Qtr. But I'm not the coach so it's not my call. Man that kid could be a beast if used right....
JC didn't sub near as much as they did against Poyen. I know they are very athletic but I don't know if they were used to playing that many minutes. And just because you play 10 players lee doesn't mean you have more talent.
I thought EPC,s starting 5 were just as good as JC's maybe not as athletic at some positions but just as good of basketball players. I don't question their coaching either they did what they have done all year. They didnt try and stall away an entire quarter but took some bad shots. EPC was able to rebound better in the second half and forced turnovers.
I believe in the fourth JC started playing not to lose. But EPC had something to do with that. Coach Hill said during the half, we are the 2 time champs and I be dang if we go out without a fight.

The Dragons gave it a good shot. Semi finals this year; finals last year. Memory fails me on the years in between '12 and '07 (except one of those teams had to overcome a coach quitting in mid season), but there was a state championship in '07.
Congratulations to the Dragons and Coach Hutcheson on a great season.
+1s to the folks who posted the sportsmanship comments about the Dragons. Good to see those rather than what often appears on FF about some teams and their fans.
Bleu you guys got a group of kids and fans to be absolutely proud of. Its rare these days. a lot of us could learn from the way JC does things.
I can assure you that every EPC fan skipped more than a few heartbeats several times duuring Saturday's contest. JC is the real deal. This could have been a state final in about any year in 2A. There are teams that we could be victorious over and not think a thing about it, but JC is not on that list. For as good as our guys felt you can be sure that it was hard for the JC players to take. I have the utmost respect for them and the way the carried themselves. Just about anybody who is any good will talk a little stuff on the court, but it is sure nice to watch quality players compete and exhibit great sportsmanship. Maybe the schedule makers can get these two together again somewhere like Hoopfest in December, it could onlly make both better.

Is Junction City losing students to a Louisiana school? And if so, could you explain why? Is the good basketball player Bell one of those kids?

Quote from: rayzorbackfan on May 05, 2013, 11:09:16 pm
Does anyone know how many athletes will be affected if the La. kids can no longer cross State line ave and play at JC. I saw a post that the La district was losing 150,000 a year do to kids going to JC. Something like 105 kids K-12, would these kid have to travel far to attend a school in La. Just curious I've passed through JC a couple of times on the way to Ruston and the town is kind of like Texarkana with the city straddling the state line.
Quote from: bleudog on May 06, 2013, 10:36:37 pmNot sure about the athlete total. The 105 can fluctuate and isn't evenly distributed across the 13 classes. My guess would be 10% to 20% on any given team. With the success JC's teams have experienced over recent years, I'd guess athletic participation rates school-wide are higher than an Arkansas state average.
A point of clarification though, Claiborne killed the agreement as of June 30, 2013 but they exempted the 2012-2013 juniors. Those 9 or 10 kids will be allowed to return next year for their senior year. Here's a link to the Claiborne board minutes page (February 7): CLICK HERE (http://www.claibornepsb.org/pages/Claiborne_Parish_Schools/Community/School_Board)
Not sure about the $150,000. That amount was mentioned in an article as the estimated amount JC would be out of pocket to hire minimum core teachers and staff to partially replace Claiborne personnel Claiborne would be pulling back. CLICK HERE (http://myarklamiss.com/fulltext?nxd_id=190622)
For those who don't know, historically a per student dollar amount and a Ward 9 student count were agreed upon then Claiborne provided teachers and staff equal to that total rather than cash. Claiborne will be providing cash to JC for next year's Ward 9 seniors.
JC doesn't receive Arkansas money for the Ward 9 kids. Some of the impacted families will be in an economic postion to legally relocate within Arkansas by buying property or becoming renters. Others won't be in that position. Those numbers are anybody's guess at this point. The JC (Arkansas) City Council placed a moratorium on mobile homes within the city limits to have some control over a potential influx of substandard trailers. Those who are able to legally relocate to Arkansas will be able to be included in JC's Arkansas funding numbers as at that point they would be Arkansas residents. That money will take a year or more to show up though.
I saw a reference in the EDNT that Claiborne is in the red somewhere around $1,500,000. The agreement with JC has little or nothing do with that shortfall. From state and local sources, Claiborne receives $9,000 to $9,500 per student in what's called MFP. That's one of the highest MFPs in Louisiana. JC has deemed a per student amount equal or close to the Arkansas amount as fair. That amount is currently about $6,300. Hard for Claiborne to lose money on that math. I see the agreement termination as more of a PR reaction. Claiborne did recently close a school in Athens. I could see where it would be hard to explain to voters and staff about sending personnel out of state while at the same time closing schools and exercising a RIF, even if those out of state personnel assignments make economic sense.
As far as school location, Junction City and Summerfield schools are 10-12 miles apart. Of the Ward 9 kids who attend JC, about half of them live within a mile of the JC school. All of them live within 5 miles of the JC school. There literally would be kids who live 10 blocks or less from the JC school who could be going 10 miles or more to the Summerfield school.
I say 'could' because there is something in the works that could preserve community continuity by continuing the Claiborne agreement with another school. In addition to financial difficulty, Claiborne is considered by Louisiana as an academically failing district. Under recent policy changes, Louisiana allows Claiborne students to transfer to a non-failing Louisiana district with the Claiborne money following them. JC has provided a letter of support to the Delhi Charter School to be their educational provider of record for the 9th Ward kids who transfer to the Delhi school. (At least Delhi sees the beneficial math in the earlier paragraph.) The Delhi proposal should be on the BESE agenda for their June meeting. Here's a link to the JC board action: CLICK HERE (http://junctioncity.k12.ar.us/uploads/pdf/minutes/Minutes%203-26-2013%20Sp.pdf)
How the whole situation works out is still in the air. There is some history in that a similar thing happened back in the mid-90's with the Union Parish kids. Although the charter school option wasn't a possibility at that time. Mostly I just hate it for the uncertainty it puts on the families in Ward 9 and on the Claiborne staff assigned to JC who have spent many years working with all JC Dragon kids.
Sorry about the long post, but I appreciate your interest and the way you asked your questions.
The Claiborne agreement had been in place for somewhere between 85 and 100 years.
Not sure where young Mr. Bell calls home. There are about 5 Arkansas kids for every Ward 9 kid walking the hall though. They all look like Dragons to me.
Bell will still be a Dragon next year.

When you have kids that come to your school that do not live in your district and they don't count against your numbers , that's an advantage. Any school in the state like to do that but they can't.

Your statement about not counting is inaccurate.
1) Since the mid 90s, JC has only accepted out of state kids from Ward 9.
2) Ward 9 is approximately the same size population wise as the other 5 zones in the district.
3) JC reports all Ward 9 kids as out of state students to the Arkansas Department of Education thru the standard reporting software.
4) The AAA has access to ADE data and would be able to make any classification adjustment required.
And actually your point about other Arkansas schools not being able to take kids from other districts is inaccurate also. The changes to the School Choice laws as a result of the Malvern/Magnet Cove court decision makes those transfers easier than the hoops JC has to go thru for the Ward 9 kids.
You shouldn't have to explain this all over again especially to an idiot that thinks we are doing something illegal. If it's wrong then I assure u the AAA would do something about it. We're almost one of the smallest 2a schools and some people are mad bc we have good success almost every year in sports. It's all about the gene pool down here what else can u say lol. I enjoy watching teams play no matter who they r, and for someone to talk about a school so much makes them only strive to keep working hard and winning ballgames. So if you dnt like it get a life and get over it. Or maybe since ur so sure about what's going on down here maybe u should go to the AAA and tell them the same thing I'm sure others have and make urself look like a idiot. Keohog!
Cant believe i had to listen to this bull all thru football season and now here
Ikr... it's old and makes the people that complain about it sound like their jealous lol. Of what idk bc there just high school kids doing what they enjoy and that's winning games in any sport I mean they dnt go out there expecting to lose. I'm just glad that it's not anyone from our conference or in the south that's complaining.

Barton and Helena isn't the best comparison.
Again, Ward 9 is similar in size to every other Zone in the JC district and every kid in Ward 9 goes to JC. There is no picking and choosing.
People up north just can't seem to understand that. Maybe they should do some research before speaking

Yeah it does get old. Nothing anyone could do anyway. But I wonder if JC fans would say any different if other 2A teams were getting players from other states. I dont care either way, we have had our share of transfers form other schools. People still complain about those and crap we lost the best player in the state to recruiting so I gues it evens out eventually.
My issue is with private schools that play small classification ball but their campus is located inside a large classification district. Now that's fishing in a big pond. But hey, my opinion on that subject goes back to watching JC go up against the Hardings and U$Cs of the world.

Don't get the private school guys worked up. I found that out during baseball season last year.All I said was it seemed to me that they won a lot of state championships for the number of private schools that exist and the war was on!

.......And I still maintain that having 40 on your football team is better than having 32.
If coaching, conditioning, attitude, ability to follow/execute instruction, talent, technique, etc. are more or less equal, I'd tend to agree with your post.
But I've seen a football team with 14 kids get a W over a 36-player team.
And I still maintain in any high school sport: the higher the likelihood of success - the higher the participation rate.
The best athlete in school won't do a team any good if the kid chooses not to suit up and the coach or the kid's peers can't change that athlete's mind.

I haven't seen anything in this thread that would prompt a mod to book someone on e a FF vacation. ;D
The Devil had Himself a little vacation for discussing this very topic on the football board.
I did however like the comment and its spelling Devil. Very clever. lol
Astute observation.
Freed me up to work with mother nature more closely.
And I still maintain that having 40 on your football team is better than having 32.
I guess it depends on the team.

The remaining Dragon/Lady Dragon HOME Basketball games will be streamed LIVE but there will be no commentary! We will make event announcements on Livestream so please visit our Livestream site and FOLLOW US so you can receive the notices of upcoming LIVE events. We will update weekly the events that will be streamed so if you "follow us" you will be able to plan your week accordingly! ONLY Sr. High games will be streamed.
Away games will only be streamed if we have the Internet capabilities at our opponent's site and if we have DSN staff available to video.

Looks like Dragons will win conference play with Bearden a close second. I say that because JC are only loses. Both teams seem to be winning handily, but never know in Tourn. for District
Is Jc still playing Stephens tonight?
No it was cancelled
Ok i had heard it was after a couple of Stephens people were trying to fight a high school kid filming the game for the dragons. And they wasn't even in school from what I heard it was pretty bad up there
have seen j. bell play both football and basketball...much better basketball player. Has no discipline on football field but has great dunking skills on the court.
Lol cant agree with that Beaver. Dunking Skills is not something I look for in a player. When he is faced with someone his size his "Dunking Skills" wont matter. He is a great athlete on the court, but thats from being naturally athleticism and good coaching. I think football comes more naturally to him
ive watched video of carlisle running right at him..he didnt like it and then got himself kicked out...Was a stud on the bball court though
Not much need for a 6'4" post player in college.

I will say this he can shoot away from the post so he doesn't have to be a post man. So yea i do believe he is better at basketball than football but he does have an attitude problem. And he is still a jr so we will tell come next yr
You have to be able to do more than shoot. While he is a very good player at basketball I believe his best oppurtunity is in football. Most nights he is bigger than most of his opponents especially on the basketball court.
And the attitude everyone is talking about will get a wakeup call once he hits the big stage of college. It has a way of sorting that attitude out or he wont be there long.
He is good in size and better at basketball bc look at the games when did u see him use the pads on someone lol not many and I'm from Jc but I think on the court will be his strength unless he plays tight end on the field bc he isn't that great on D
He truly is better on the court and as for big time he won't get the chance to go to big time school if he has an attitude I played with a guy that had an offer from ole miss but got it taken away because of his reputation as fighter and trash talker he needs to fix it Now if he ever wants to leave out of jc or his name will be added to the long list of gifted athletes that didn't go anywhere
True
I'm confused by what is being argued over. Is his best sport in high school basketball or football? Basketball. He plays in 2A and is the most physically imposing person each night. His game does not translate to any division 1 basketball program. He is not even close to the size of an SEC 4 or 5, not enough speed or handles for a 2 or 3. He is however, already the size of several SEC defensive ends. You can't coach his potential. Coaches see his build and know it is rare. His future for a college education is football.

I disagree he can't play defense unless he learns how to hit. Every time they ran to his side they ran right where he should of been but instead he was getting blocked so yea go look at all the films. U will see what I'm talking about and Noone was really arguing over him. I'm just saying he is way over rated in football on the defensive end but I believe he can be a good tight end bc he can catch the ball and he can jump. He played a whole lot better his sophomore year but when he got that offer he got the big head and As far as basketball he can play d1 maybe not right now but after his Sr yr i believe he will be there

The way I feel is he is better in the court but yes his best chance at big time college is with football his ball handling is quite what it needs to be if he is to play a 1 or a 2 in basketball also I've said it many time that IF he does make it to Arkansas he will be closely compared to Colton miles-Nash he was tre exact same size but wasn't physical enough either
He will ne be able to play collegiate basketball anywhere. Too many better player no offense. but a much much better chance in football. Being in a great program, and being a key TE to that program. Aggression will be there on hitting. he is a young player
My thing is he isn't no star like Anderson or anyone who went to d1 for basketball but he has the ability to play d1 basketball if he works at it more before his Sr yr. Football yea of course d1 bc is committed to U of A but not on defense I dnt think unless he changes his way of playing D next yr. He has great size and could get better but gotta learn to use the pads on defense and quit trying to grab people bc that won't fly against a good team with good backs like Carlisle had and definitely won't against an college opponent. If next yr he changes his attitude and show better sportsmanship on the field and work on his tackling skills I believe he could play D at Arkansas. I mean I hope the best for him and hope he succeeds in life. And he is young like u said so maybe he will mature up and who knows he may get a lil taller at least I think he will
How many offers does he have for basketball? How do you stop the best defensive lineman on a team, you run right at him. You see it in every league.
He would not be a 1 or a 2 in college BB. While he is athletic for a big man in high school no way he is a 1 or a 2. He is a forward/center in high school that doesn't dribble well. Most forward/center types in college will have 4 to 6 inches on him.
He has a D1 offer to the Hogs for football already and should take advantage of that opportunity. They will put 20 pounds in him and he will bigger and stronger. And I just think his better opportunity for college is on the field and not the court. He could play basketball but I think all he would get out if it is the education. He has better potential to do more as a football player
He's similar to AJ Turner in basketball. AJ was a very good player, decent handle, ok outside shot a rebounding machine with a back to the basket game. However at 6'1" he wasn't playing the post in college but he will be playing linebacker at ASU.
What happen with A J Turner with razorbacks? Just curious bc I remember hearing about him his freshman yr but never heard any more. Ur right he did get offered to play football but that still doesn't mean anything but I still dnt think he will play D I believe his strength will be on offense as a tight end. But u can't count him out from basketball just because he can get better just like as a D end but only time will tell bc we can go back and forth but til that time comes we dnt know what will happen.
sounds like the kid is good at whatever he dose... so don't count him out in eather. he may just play both at a high level.
D-1 is a physical package. They will coach up the skill set.

Dont take much for anyone to play D at Arkansas. Yall need to back off the kid, he will be fine. So many negative comments about a 16 or 17 yr old kid and probably by grown-ups..smh.. :(

Not talking negative about him I'm just saying I think he could play d1 basketball. And would be better at tight end than defensive end. Only negative thing I said was he is gonna have to Improve on tackling if he will n play defense at Ark. Also his attitude has to Change.

I guess making honest and true statements is wrong just cause of a kids age now I've seen the same type of athlete many if times at the 2a level and they will be quicker to turn on a 2a kid with bad attitude than a 5-7a

Think he is talking about the attitude. Which was a knock on Madden coming out of high school.
And I'm saying madden had far greater skill which is one reason why he made it

Someone on fb said that he was showboating lol think there may of been a lil jealousy I mean like u said it wasn't no different than the past dunks. I mean Tyrus dunked it harder than that against PC the other night over a dude

Coming to watch in Gurdon in a few weeks at Regionals. Is this team for real? Are they going to win state? I havent seen any close scores. Reminds of the JAmes Anderson era.. Cant wait to see Jamario.
More balance on this team than any JC team I've seen. Bell has come alive the last few weeks, but before that, the leading scorer was just as likely to be coming off the bench as it was from the starting five. The athleticism of this group is amazing, and often times bails them out of trouble. As many as 7 different players have dunked in the same game. You don't usually see that on a 2A team. If JC was a full time basketball school, they would be scary good. All of these kids but 1 are football players playing basketball and it shows in every game. Maybe this year the athleticism will be enough. Maybe not. A fundamentally sound team will give them fits, but JC will have more speed and athleticism than anyone they play to hopefully balance that out.

Just hope the coach doesn't get in the way like he normally does
From JC's Facebook page:
Jamario Bell's backboard shattering dunk will be featured tonight (2/17) on ESPN SportsCenter beginning at 5:00 pm!!!
Really? I tagged espn in a tweet of it but never thought nthn of it
Update from Facebook:
"Junction City Public Schools
Coach Thompson informed me that Jamario's dunk will definitely be on SportsCenter but it will probably be tomorrow. Sorry for any inconvenience! When dealing with a national network like ESPN, you have to be flexible!!! We will look forward to seeing it tomorrow!!! Thanks Coach Thompson for submitting Jamario's dunk to ESPN!"

told yall basketball is his ticket...his dunks get on espn....his football play gets him drove to the sideline or ejected....hmmmmmm
Yea true about the espn but if u don't remember he signed with Arkansas back in August in football.
Thought I heard on DTS Louisville also made Bell a football offer last week.
Did not sign. Signing day for Bell will be Feb. 4th, 2015. He committed. Which means absolutley nothing.
You heard right Bleu. Coach Bobby Petrino has offered Bell. The updated ESPN 300 list just came out also. I believe Bell was at #158. Just to compare, Byran Jones never cracked the top 200. Pretty impressive.
http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=10472179
Did they have to stop the game?
Yep. Several Norphlet people were claiming he did it on purpose. They were mad because their kids didn't have the chance to finish the game and, as they put it, anything could have happened. I guess it's possible. The score was 53-25 only 3 minutes into the third though, so I have my doubts.
I wonder why they didn't continue it later like others did when the bad weather hit. Not that it would have mattered as far as the outcome but still in the interest of fairness.
It was the past half and half way through the third it would be pointless to finish the game
It obviously means something I didn't mean to put signed but the point I'm making is he got offered a scholarship for football. Do I think he would do good playn basketball with a lil coaching yes but that's just my opinion

Was pretty impressed with JC tonight. Didnt have to do much at all! Jamario had a nonchalant game. That dunk was pretty vicious. Also, missed a few alley oops.. some of those passes were horrible!! I was also impressed with #11. Very soft touch, and my goodness can the kid get UP!! Someone said he was a Sophomore? Junction should win this Region. I will be back Saturday to watch them play the Blevins/Bearden winner
Junction City 78

Congrats junction..... Most talented team in Arkansas....and Louisiana.....
Junction city has a lot of talent not sure about best in Arkansas, watched them yesterday and all they do is dunk and snow bird if they meet a team that gets back and plays defense they Will find their selves in trouble
There always has to be a jealous dumba** to post stupid stuff Oh and btw since u know so much which kids on the team is from Louisiana? Just saying... oh and your right i dnt like throwing alleys alot like they do of course unless they connect lol... Junction just plays uptempo on both sides of the ball or at least most of the time i have seen them slow it down some on offense and they can find the open man whether be down low to bell or on the wing to Grayson#11 or #2 brown

-1
We've been over this a million times on the football board...Junction City has 80 Louisiana kids K-12...Yeah I've seen the numbers for myself. Let it go....Take away the 14-20 kids in the Sr High from Louisiana and they'd probably still beat your team...
I'm not saying they aren't a great team number 13 and 11 are awesome kids 13 can do more than just dunk the ball he is a all around player but he will need more help from his team mates to win it all
I don't have a team I go for I go to watch the game of basketball so I'm not saying this because I have a team! All I'm saying is they are capable of more than what I seem.
nvm....
It wasn't big boy talking about la kids it was beaverpride. Ur exactly right everyone will have to step up just like bell has because he hasn't been scoring like this but the past 2 to 3 weeks. If they can move the ball around and take good shots then they should be fine bc the D will get tightn up when needed

Hahaha good luck
Yes I don't know where any of these kids are from so not sure where all this came from just speaking what I thought! Not trying to make anyone mad here like I said they are a good team but 13 can't carry by himself
He was mistaking by what beaverpride said about jc being the best talent in ark and la which was a dumb comment by beaverpride but yea like i said ur right no one player can carry a team or at least not a winning team lol. It just gets old with people talking jc having Louisiana kids and one thing or another. I mean we're in 2a I can understand if we're a bigger classification bc of the kids. And even if they couldn't go to jc they would move to Ark like a lot did before the school yr started

Looks like the first quote held a little more truth than the second.
He edited his comment but anyways. Jc is better than what they played like tonight. We shall see come Thursday
That was the first time jc played an actually good basketball team with good technique and fundamentals they should learn from that if not it's back to football and track for these boys
y'all better figer it out soon cause y'all got a mad epc team on yawls hands...
Oh don't think jc won't be mad as well epc will have a lot in there hands come thurs
should be a good one with 2 angry teams...
JC should be too much for EPC. We aren't as talented as previous years but we still can play. Gl to all teams
Your sandbagging Donnie! Don't you lie!
If not I appreciate honesty
I'd tell it 12 different ways before I'd lie about it:)
I am an EPC fan and a realist. I believe that JC and CR will be in the finals. I was surprised to learn of the outcome of the JC game. Is Blevins a contender, or did JC just have a bad night? I have heard people theorize that a number of teams have tried to manipulate the brackets to have an easier path to the finals. I know nobody will confess to this, but I know it has happened before. I think it may have happened again this year and it backfired on the team that did it.
Jc did have bad game compared to games I've seen them play before but Blevins is a contender for sure I'll be at the cedar ridge Blevins game no matter what jc does cause that very well could be the state game

I guess you will see. JC had better watch out for EPC in the first round. England has a good athletic program. It would be better if we bordered Louisiana.

I will have to call BS. I am not hating on JC, but to say they do not get an advantage from the Louisiana kids is a lie. England can compete with JC in basketball as well as baseball and track. Im a couple of years, England will make a run in all sports. Last year, i kept hearing about all those speedsters from JC, but England kept donating the sprints. JC did win the meet due to them having so many qualify for State. England finished runner up.
don't over look clarendon seen them play on live stream and number 24 and all of them seem athletic.

It is not a lie but when u have a fool trying to prove and honest statement wrong there is no need in talking about it but as for the meet jc win with the final tally of 152-62 over England jc didn't need 6 of the people that qualified and England only had one guy that beat any jc guy and he set the state record in the 100
Boom

This is also a lie. England finished 1st and 4th In the 100 and 1st, 4th and 6th in the 200. JC was 7th in both events. England also won the 4x100. I already acknowledged that JC won the meet. There is no need for me calling, but when you are safely behind a keyboard, I guess it is easy. Boom.

Would love to see JC play England. That would mean JC made it to the finals. ;D
Didnt get to watch the Blevins vs Bearden game, Hear it was a good one to. BUT I did get to see the JC and Blevins game. The idea that JC lost on purpose to get a better draw for the tournament is CRAZY talk. JC is probably the most athletic and talented team in the state in AA, but that doesn't equal to basketball players. Blevins had a better game plan, was the more disciplined team, and made the appropriate adjustments all of which is all based on coaching. Blevins kids ran their sets and played with alot of heart and determination. They are very taletnted and believe in their coach and the plan they had set up. It was very clever to automatically drop two back to stop transition baskets and to leave the free throw spots empty to keep from JC quick run out on a missed basket.
At times JC's coach look like a fish out of water. Sure teams have won state championships on sheer athletic ability but it doesnt happen very often. I may have to eat my words but I don't see any way JC wins it all, they will be very lucky to win a couple of games.
Your right about most of that. If JC would of had a coach to change things up maybe play ur big men down low instead of on the wing then it would of been hard for Blevins to stop them. IMO... but blevins is a good team and I hope jc meets them in the championship game

If you are talking about the kid from Lafayette County, he got hurt later in the day. The web site is on the bottom of my past. Look for yourself.
It was during the day time at prelims he got a standing O for finishing the race

Not arguing, just trying to find Tha truth. We were talking about speed, which is the sprints. If you will check, Pickens pulled up in the 200 final. He could not run the 4x400 and England beat Layfette County by 2 pts to get runner up to the great JC team by 45.5 pts. Now that is Tha truth.
How can you say JC is the most athletic team in AA?? They just got beat by Blevins who had an injured player!! They may not be able to hang with Clarendon, Brinkley, Cedar Ridge, EPC, or BIC.
Check the other thread or AAA for updated brackets. Basically everything moved one day with semi-finals to be played on Sunday.
I see these guys on here dogging the JC coach. Who do you think you could realistically get to come there that would do better? Obviously the guy is doing something right.
Are you really trying to argue if JC is the most athletic team in 2A? They aren't the best basketball players, but they are the most athletic.

Him having athletes and a soft schedule helped him
I said they were probably the most athletic team which does not equal to best basketball players. Larry Bird made a living for years being smarter and a better basketball player than most that he played against. He constatnly faced people who were superior to him in athletic ability but yet he still is one of the 50 greatest to ever play the game.
This being my first post I would like to say I have been reading this site for a whole and enjoy the discussions! JC is amazingly athletic the Bell kid is something else an #11 Tyrus Grayson a sophomore I might add will play higher above the rim than anyone in 2a no doubt. JC lost to basketball players not athletes they were out shot out defended and out coached. Blevins has some ball players and they play with a lot of heart I can assure you no one in 2a ball will stop Blevins point guard #22 Reed from going wherever he wants to go. I honestly feel JC would lose the Blevins game 7/10x not because of talent but because of coaching you should not have your two biggest players standing back away from the rim so they can snowbird for the highlight reel dunk which I can say are highlight reels especially #11 he can fly but in the playoffs that's not going to work against well disciplined teams! Don't underestimate Blevins it will hurt you!
Now the State Tourney is here we can see what JC really got.
Jc has a chance honestly I feel they should make it to semis atleast idk much about bic or Clarendon
JC has a big chance to make the semis for sure
After watching JC all week in regionals they have a chance against anybody, when i said Blevins wins 7/10 it is because Blevins takes care of the ball. We saw what happened when they started getting careless JC jumped on them quick. If you mess around and play loose against this team they will hurt you fast, ridiculously athletic big men and the rest of the team is overlooked because of the size of Bell and Grayson but are all fantastic athletes. As i said before the coaching of this team will be their demise not the talent on the team they are not utilizing their attributes to the full potential yes dunks are fun to see and can be intimidating but they are only 2 points. They showed no half court offense in the regional tournament they spread the floor and drive to the middle and jack it up they will brutalize teams with transition offense and athleticism, but if you play them smart they are beatable as Blevins showed. I will say i gained a ton of respect for Jamario Bell over this tourney especially the Dermott game i saw that kid take alot of punishment and kept his cool, at one point he was blatantly tripped and stood up and shook it off showed alot of class I can over look his pulling jersey over face tech against Blevins the call was questionable but as a whole that team shows class I wish them the best of luck and would love to see the rematch with Blevins in the finals. Hoping Blevins can get passed CR.
This isn't English class Dr gonzo Dang lol jk
Sorry sometimes I'm a little more longwinded than I plan to be when I start a post!
Nice post gonzo I agree coaching will be the demise and to me I believe number jarkell brown needs to get more shots he can be deadly from 3
It's all good gonzo just poking at you
Can you say ''OVER RATED " BA BA BA BA ''OVER RATED'' BA BA BA BA.
The talent for JC is by no means overrated, if anything they are under coached and lack the appropriate direction. Any team that comes in unprepared or playing carelessly will have a rough night with these amazing athletes!
We had a good coach and they ran him off for buying black warm ups and one thing or another but he paid for everything out of his pocket and they ran him off right around the district tourney that yr. IMO I didn't understand the way he coached but it was working bc he coached the whole game. IMO they could of won state that yr bc they were definitely good til he left.
Do NOT argue with Junction City....Best talent in Ar....and Louisiana....I believe the softballers of the world would call them all stars and world series champs!!!!!
Some people just can't bring anything intelligent or worth talking bout to the thread
Especially an idiot like beaverpride that knows nthn about what he or she is talking about. But it amazes me that beaverpride has JC on its mind all the time lol
jc is not over rated... they were just out coached...
And outplayed. I'm from Jc and blevins is a good team all around but coaching had alot to do with it. #22 from blevins is by far the best ball handler I have seen this yr.
Don't believe JC will make it past EPC. ;D
I disagree with the out played part Blevins coach put his players in the best position to be successful. they just take coaching really well and I was impressed with there ball movement a thing of beauty at times and that my friend is coaching...
Jc didn't play to the best of their ability. I have seen them play much better this yr yea blevins coach had them ready but Jc made some lousy passes and missed free throws they normally make. Then The Defense didn't play as good especially in the paint. I agree 100% about the coaching part but I just think we may of came in a lil over condifent but we will be ready for EPC it's our turn to beat them after losing the past 2 yrs to them.
how much did defence of pressure have to do with those louse passes?
They didn't pressure jc. Jc just tried lead passing and made bad passes
they played tough defence and got into jc heads is what I seen...and they took away the fast break...
Stopped JC's transition offense, which is their only offense. JC missed too many FT's and had too many weak passes into the post when Bell was wide open or had a much smaller defender posted up. Blevins was the best team JC had faced and you could tell. I said earlier in this thread JC would out athlete almost everyone they played, but a quality team with a true PG would kill them. You didn't have to be a prophet to see it coming.
Blevins was just better coached... you really cant say that enough...
People keep saying that, and I'm not cutting Hutch any slack, but.........He can't shoot FT's for the kids, he can't dive for loose balls and hustle for the 50/50 balls, and he can't make the passes for the kids. JC has plenty of talent, and I'm a firm believer that if JC was not a football school, they would be on a heck of a run in basketball, but the fact is, Hutch has had these kids 10 weeks now. Don't kid yourselves. The rest of the time, these are Carpenters kids. He will have them from the day their season ends this year, all the way through the end of December next year, and it will be the same thing again. The fact that Hutch is able to do what he can with these kids in that short of a time span is impressive to me. No other 2A basketball coach in the state has that disadvantage.
Just tell me what hutch even does he doesn't coach any offense there athletic ability is what makes them good on D in practice they scrimmage he just sits off to the side and let's his players do whatever then at the end they have to make 5 free throws and then they can go but yea the hustle plays passes and free throws he can't do for them but he could come up with some sort of strategy on offense other than just run and throw deep passes to try and get dunks atleast when Allen coached them they had an inside and outside game along with a screen game which isn't hard to put into ur offensive arsenal
And whether u think so or not 10 weeks is plenty of time to coach a team if u are a good coach which HE IS NOT!!!
hey no disrespect to yawls coach. but athletes make any coach look good. I never said he couldn't coach but from what I seen he was out coached...just my opinion. and you have yours...
I agree he has been out coached. Let's be realistic. Blevins kids have played basketball with a great coach all year. JC's kids have played for 10 weeks now with a quality coach and lost one game. I wouldn't expect Carpenter to be on a 27 game win streak with a new offense if he got the kids 72 hours before their first game. No 7 on 7's, no workouts, no film study, no running and kid of offense since last football season. Would you?
1) Does anybody have the stats from the JC-Blevins game? Curious about each team's shooting %, fouls, turnovers, etc.
2) Does Blevins have a football team?
No Blevins doesn't have football but what they do have is a heck of a coach! The last 2 years he has only lost 4 games total and yes they got beat 1st round of regionals last yr but they played Parker's chapel at Hampton which is a home town team and they got cheated so bad it was the worse officiating anyone had ever seen they had to send the tape to the higher up to look at it! So if it wouldn't have been for that no telling what the outcome would have been for 2a finals!! Parker's chapel shot 40 free throws to Blevins 5!! It was pitiful !

It is just dumb to compare a football offense to basketball offense football is way more complicated
I'm comparing the time, or lack there of, to what everyone else has.
dragon I. you make good points. but my friend the facts are the facts... if number 11 for yawl don't hit them 2 clutch 3s this game is worse then what it is... at some point you just have to say Blevins is just better... coached and there kids take coaching well...and they had a key player out you still have to factor in that as well...

Didn't mean to get you all fired up about PC.
Blevins played a great basketball game against JC and my football question was just to determine where basketball ranked in the pecking order at the school. As D-I was posting, JC (from a boys sports standpoint) over the past decade or so is a football school first, a baseball school second and a basketball school a distant third.
was they not 25 and 0? if jc would have beat are blew out Blevins we would not even be talking about this and everyone would be singing jc praises...and now that they loss its because there is not enough enforces on there BB program... PLEASE...that don't have anything to do with nothing... the fact is jc just got beat by a better team...with a great coach...
Yall talk about getting cheated last yr in the pc game. Do u not think jc got more bad calls against them than yall? I mean the refs were terrible especially the first half. And even some the 2nd half. If we're gonna blame the refs I figured I'd throw that in bc i wasn't gonna bringit up bc eeveryone says that when they lose. That's another reason I now think y we dnt play bell and Grayson down low bc the refsdnt let them be aggressive like i they should be. Last yr bell wasn't aggressive enough this yr he tries to be but hard to do when refs won't let em play. Just like the technical against him I can see that but the late shooting foul was ridiculous especially when the shooter hit bells elbow after the shot bells arms were straight up in front of the defender. And there were a few more calls could of went both ways. That number 2 of Blevins movesld his pivot foot a few times and never called for traveling so yea i dnt wanna hear about refs cheating and home town bc yall were only 33 miles from gurdon. Oh guess what we're all gonna be back in Hampton again so it'll be just like home for us ha! Maybe the refs won't cheat yall again

I'll have to admit I don't have a clue what "enforces" are.
There was no doubt which school had the better team that night in Gurdon. It was Blevins. It was easy to see they were able to stay within themselves and execute a game plan they were very well versed in. Although I did have a little hope there at the end JC would pull it out when they cut Blevins' lead to two possession with somewhere between 2 and 4 minutes left (I think). And if you go back and look at FF posts, I was one of the first to congratulate Blevins on their win.
I just am one of those posters who think schools that don't share players with football programs and place more emphasis on basketball from an offseason and longer regular season standpoint tend to do well in basketball. Blevins seems to be an example of a school that fits that proves that position.
I'd love to see the teams meet again this season. ;)

One and only to the best of my knowledge.
Being a 2A team with four year access to a player who would be an eventual McDonalds All-American, Big 12 Player of the Year, Sporting News All-American and first round NBA draft pick; only one state title was a little disappointing. :'(
And as posted earlier, before David Carpenter put his football program in place, JC occasionally had good football teams but was primarily known as a baseball school (thanks to what Al Bolen put in place).
Oh, and James did a little high jumping on the track team, but he wasn't on the football or baseball teams. He was one who concentrated on basketball almost year round.

Now you're going to get some Dragons posting about home cookin'. ;D
this is what brooks said when he was ask who is the best player he has faced. I don't really want to say James Anderson, but it is probably him. I have faced some great competitors in the Rumble on the Ridge, kids that signed with Texas Tech and Oklahoma State. But Anderson is going to be a big time player.
James did get mr basketball instead of brooks his senior year I believe

Dr. G, I think that Jessieville game ended 68-35. JA had somewhere around 43.
And I don't post that to lessen the importance of the other Dragons on the team. Just that JA was in the zone that day. Heck, if it weren't for Meecio and others, even with JA's monster semi final game, JC's playoff run would have ended with the Earle game the week before.

Well ol' BeaverP has obviously never been to JC's amazing "new" gym or their amazing track. ;)
(For the benefit of the non-Dragons out there, JC's gym was built in the late 50s or early 60s. It's refered to as the "new" gym because until a few years ago the "old" gym, built in the 20s or 30s, was still in use as an auditorium. And they have no track.)
And again, ALL students are reported to the Arkansas Department of Education through APSCN so the Ward 9 student total is available to AAA for classification purposes.
Nuances Anderson is always fun to watch he had some crazy highlights at OkSt. I'm not a Rockets fan but love to see an Arkansas guy no matter where they play much like D-Mac and the Raiders but that's a whole other thread!
Don't know where nuances came from stupid iPhone autocorrect don't like the word James I guess! Lol

And these days you need to check the 76ers box scores to keep up with James.

Those two are both great. Monk has two more years to get even better. If he does get better, he will be the best IMO.
Junctions Louisiana kids DO NOT count against the AAA numbers for reclassification....Never have....The numbers are sent in through apscn for a total count...The school receives money from Louisiana for those students...period...the truth....cant be denied....Thats why Carpenter said if he ever lost the Claiborne Parish kids he would retire....Truth hurts junction....But if any other school could get away with it im sure they would.

The AAA dropped JC down in classification in the mid 90s after Union Parish pulled their students. Coach Carpenter was RIFed when that happened (and obvioulsy rehired later).
JC receives no money from the ADE to educate the Claiborne Parish kids in Ward 9 because the ADE does not fund out-of-state students in any Arkansas school (and yes there are a few in other schools). Somebody has to provide funds to cover the costs of educating the Ward 9 kids. JC has always had a compensation agreement with a Louisiana school. The current agreement involves cash. The previous agreements involved personnel (teachers/aides/bus driver) rather than cash. I understand the next agreement will be a combination of cash and personnel.
BeaverP, there is no conspiracy. All kids are reported to ADE. AAA has access to the information to make whatever classification adjustment might need to be made.

Thanks for info, bleudog.

But don't be surprised to see a few more post in this thread about some post season awards though. ;D
Especially when u go to state tournament in pretty much every sport almost every year. We're never over so get use to hearing about us if u hadn't already by now
OK, fine, we already know about JC and all that, what about your swim team, soccer team, girls softball & volly ball, and dont forget the chess club. Just kidding with yall, but I do have a question or statement. Do you honestly believe the rest of the state believes that Blevins is actually good enough to beat JC in basketball? Come on, or could it have anything to do with a weaker end of the state bracket? Just sayin. At any rate, your top 4 in the books, and that aint bad. My home town guys hung up the Chuck Taylors two weeks ago. Playing baseball now.
It was a good game glad to see it was my Lions that ended the Dragons run.
Blevins beat us in regionals so I mean yea. And I promise I'm not bragging about jc I just said that bc of someone saying "is over" I mean we know this lol.
i honestly think they threw the game to get opposite of cedar ridge and it didn't work, so yes its over til next year
Whatever man y would jc wanna lose a game? Really? This isn't the NBA. Jc knew no matter who they played it was gonna be tough and it was. By u saying that ur not giving any team in the bottom half of bracket credit. I'm sure I'm wasting my time replying to u but yea we will be back next yr.

I never thought JC actually did that. Why would they throw away a regional title? Just doesn't make sense. I do believe the lower bracket was easier but that's when I really thought JC would win regionals and be in the top bracket lol...it looked good to let JC and CR play and eliminate one of them lol..well that didn't work out :)
Congratulation to Jamario Bell for making both the All State and the All State Tournament teams.
Well, the 76ers lost another one tonight. That's 26 in a row and ties the NBA record (2010-11 Cleveland Cavaliers). The good news is JA was the leading scorer with 30.

Jc boys headed back to LA tech for another day at basketball camp. Hopefully this will help them and their coach so come season time they will be ready. Heard alot of good news about them already. Oh and Bell is with them for some that heard he was leaving jc
Just a question on y'all's conference. How are y'all's divisions broke down and how does the district tournament bracket workout? I mean does the 5 from the south play the first from the north or what? Just curious.
I think it's only four from each district so 4 and 2 play and 1 and 3 seeds play I believe but I can't remember sorry
It's only 4 but the 1 plays the 4 and so on.

Why would you drag up an almost nine month old post and degrade a high school kid? When we already know you have a hatred for JC that borders on pathological...
I didn't degrade anyone...did you not see where I said he could start at jc? I'm intitled to my opion...and I don't believe he could start at NLR... again.......just my opion...don't mean he wouldn't...or he would...just my opion...

'Opinion '? Lol
If JC can't win state this year with all the talent and size they have I don't imagine that their coach should stay another year. I know it's his first year but I'm pretty sure you could put a 5 year old in charge of that team and win it. This year may be their only chance for a while cuz 4 of the starters are graduating. Grayson is a heck of a player but I didn't see anyone coming off the bench that could help him next year. I hope they win it but like I said.. If they don't I wouldn't expect that coach back. Especially at a school like JC where winning is the only thing that matters

First, it's not his first year...he's been here for six or seven. Second, he's also a great assistant football and softball coach. Last but not least, I don't expect he'll be going anywhere, anytime soon since he has two sons, 7th and 10th grade, and Union County is home for his wife.
Clarendon is really good but so is JC so guess we will just have to wait and see huh....

Dude... The Junior high team went 16-1 last year, and are undefeated right now.. So, I don't know what you have been watching.

I agree, but just to think j.c. is going to waltz through basketball like they did football, is a terrible mistake.
Well u won't have me argue against u on that especially with jc not really being a basketball school plus Clarendon having everyone back off last years squad but maybe just maybe if the ply again jc won't miss 15 out of their 18 free throw attempts

I think this is accurate:
2010 Hutcheson State First Round
2011 Hutcheson State First Round
2012 Hutcheson State Runner Up
2013 Hutcheson State Semi-finalist
2014 Hutcheson State Semi-finalist
2015 Hutcheson ?
JC won the 2A state title in basketball in 2007 under a different coach. That was James Anderson's senior season. James was available for four playoff runs, but JC only has one state championship basketball trophy.
Hutcheson was head softball coach for the 2012 state champion softball team but gave that spot up last year. That opening was filled by another football assistant, Justin Thompson.
If not for brooks taylor in 06 jc would most likely have another and again in 09 if jimmy Allen handy left his number 1 ranked team midway through the season cause he couldn't get his team the warm ups he wanted
Will JC and Clarendon play each other in the regular season?

Oh I could've swore they had an older coach last season. I apologize. Either way.. If he doesn't win this year he never will. I can't see JC having this much talent anytime soon good junior high or not. Unless they have a 6'6" man in every grade but even then it would be tough for them to be on the level of the 2 they have now. I think JC will win and I hope they do. I'm just saying if he doesn't there are a lot of schools that would think twice about offering another contract. But if everyone loves him as much as you seem to he shouldn't be going anywhere

Feel free to help out. I'm kind of at the mercy of our friends at the EDNT. I'm also not sure why those EDNT folks seem to be recently considering the JC boys games as "late" games. When the paper runs the Reader's Digest version of a game recap, are those provided by the school?

Thriller Lady Dragons slip past PC in overtime
FORDYCE - Sophomore Nikayla Fisher hit one free throw with nine seconds remaining in overtime Saturday to lift Junction City to a 60-59 victory over Parkers Chapel in the third place game of the FBT Bank & Mortgage Tournament. The Lady Dragons improved to 2-1 on the season.
"It was a real big win," said Junction City coach Henry Harrell. "It was the first time we've ever beaten Parkers Chapel, at least since I've been here. It was a big win for our program, a confidence builder."
The Lady Trojans led 16-14 after one quarter. The game was tied 28-28 at the half and the Lady Dragons led 41-37 going into the fourth.
Parkers Chapel sent the game into overtime on Lauren Brumley's 3-pointer with nine seconds left in regulation, tying the game at 52-52.
"We were scrambling and lost track of her," said Harrell. "She stepped up and hit a big three. But, we held our composure and pulled it out at the end."
In the overtime, Chakeenia Malone hit a 3-pointer to give the Lady Dragons the lead. The Lady Trojans tied the game before Fisher hit the front end of a 1-and-1, which proved to be the difference.
Brumley led Parkers Chapel with 31 points. The senior hit 13-of-16 free throws, including 6-of-7 in the overtime. Haley Barker added 16 and Kylie Madison scored eight. Brumley and Madison hit three 3-pointers apiece for the Lady Trojans, who fell to 5-2 on the season.
Jyrezhia Nathan paced Junction City with 21 points, including three 3-pointers. Malone scored 16 with three 3-pointers. Fisher finished with 11 points while Ashley Gibson scored six. The Lady Dragons hit seven 3-pointers in the game.

Yep. The same architect firm is being used so if one has been in the Hampton gym, they will have a good feel for what JC's would be like (community willing). Using the concession stand and restroom facilities for both basketball and football would be unique to JC though.
The story in paper says the new gym seats 1200. Why would you build a gym that seats under 1500? I think that is the AAA's number to host state tournaments in 2A. Just wondering because it couldn't cost that much more to add the additional 300 seats.

Permanent seating for the
proposed building is 1,264 which covers regional tournament hosting requirements for up to 3A (if JC at some point gets reclassified upward). It's understood there would be space available for temporay seating to meet the 1,500 minimum required by the AAA to host up to a 3A state tournament if one is awared.
Here's the applicable section of the AAA Handbook:
Rule 9. MINIMUM GYMNASIUM SPECIFICATIONS FOR HOSTING A REGIONAL OR STATE
TOURNAMENT
A. Four dressing rooms, each with showers, hot water, toilets, and washbasins.
B. Two rest rooms for public use.
C. Floor dimensions equal to or in excess of 48 x 84 feet.
D. There shall be at least three feet of unobstructed space outside the court adjacent to the sidelines and at least five feet of unobstructed space outside the end lines.
E. There shall be a time clock visible from both directions of the playing court.
F. Minimum gymnasium safety standards (Bylaws, Article IV, Sec. 5, Rule 3) shall be met.
G. There shall be the following minimum seating capacities for the respective classifications-
Note: Seating capacity is based on a minimum width of 18 inches. Using the formula of number of
feet times 12 divided by 18.

Good deal. I knew it wouldn't make much since if it didn't seat the minimum requirement. Good luck hope you get it.
So what's the estimated seating at the current gym in JC?. . .does anyone have an idea?
From the EDNT:
Dragons hold off Bulldogs
STRONG - Javontay Rogers and Keandre Evans scored 21 points apiece, as Junction City held off Strong 67-61 in 7-2A East action on Friday night.
The Dragons led by four points at the end of the first three periods before winning by the final margin, but they will be without the services of Jamario Bell for their next game, who was ejected after receiving a second technical foul in the first half.
Malik Lee had 23 points and Javonte Newton had 17 points for the Bulldogs (9-6, 2-4), who tied the game in the final period, but saw their bid for a comeback victory foiled by solid free-throw shooting by the Dragons (14-0, 5-0) down the stretch.
Strong rallies for victory
STRONG - LaTina Davis scored 14 points, but none were bigger than her layup with 20 seconds left in regulation, as Strong rallied for a 45-43 win over Junction City in a 7-2A East clash on Friday night.
The Lady Bulldogs (8-7, 3-3) trailed 14-0 in the opening period, and 39-26 after three periods before rallying in the final minutes of the contest.
Four missed free throws by Junction City (9-4, 4-1) allowed Strong to stay in the game, and a steal at halfcourt led to Davis scoring on a layup to give the Strong the lead for good.
"We told the girls just to keep playing defense and keep chipping away and they did," said Strong coach Jason Porter. "Once we got there, we were in good shape. We showed a lot of heart tonight. I'm proud of them."
After trailing 14-2 after the opening period, the Lady Bulldogs cut Junction City's lead to 24-19 at intermission before the Lady Dragons pushed the lead back to double digits with a strong third period.
Charria Perry had 13 points and Moesha Thrower finished with 10 points for Strong.
Khadijah Webster had 12 points and Ashley Gibson added nine points for Junction City.
In the junior girls game, Strong came away with a 45-40 win.
Shenee Story was one of three players in double figures with 16 points for the Lady Bulldogs (6-1, 3-0), who also got 15 points from Amaya Smith and 14 points from Dynasty Davis.
Keetria Rogers had 16 points and Camya Hamilton had eight points for Junction City (6-1, 2-1).

Not sure the exact number, but there are no more than nine rows of bleachers encircling the court (with the first row being almost unuseable due to its proximity to the court). Plus there are egress gaps on all four sides with the gaps on the short sides being larger than the ones on the long sides. My GUESS would be less than 1,000.

I went back and added Mrs. Miller's class' video with Coach Carpenter's narration to my earlier post. He references the 1,264 of the PROPOSED gym but I don't think the seating capacity of the 1954 gym is mentioned. There could be another video that mentions the current gym's seating capacity I haven't seen though.
I miss read that's what I get for correcting the all knowing bleu but some dual states had of gone over 1000
Why was bell ejected? Jw if it was his attitude or was it more on strong
First tech was a double tech between him and a strong player then after a bad call he flipped the ball away from the ref so he would have to go get it and that brought the other tech which was a good call but in the girls game the cops had to come and say something to a ref after he used the mf on some of the jc fans so there's that
Oh wow figured it would get ugly

;D
1264 is the proposed regular season seating capacity, with enough room courtside for temporary seating to exceed the 1500 required for regional and state bids.
Have they given an estimation on the price of the new gym?. . i know it would have to go out to bid to get the actual price but i would think they would put a proposed price for each project before they try to get the people to vote on it. . it may have been in a newspaper article and i missed it. but if anyone has seen a estimate let me know

In addition to the breakdown in the article above, the remaining balance of one of two current bonds will be refinanced into the new bond, should the proposal pass.
Thanks Bleu. . 4.8 million for that one facility is pretty steep. . I'm not against a new gym. . but to me it seems there are a few unnecessary parts there. . the old saying "jumped the shark" comes to mind when i really think about it. . Like i said. .

What is it your not a fan of, and what "propaganda" did you read and not like? I'm interested to know before they hold the public meetings.
Dad,you wont hear any . Like many posters he likes to make people think he is in loop.he trying to give himself relevance. Lives in la. So he cant even vote. Building is set up good. Would have had a much larger gym in 2001 or 2002 but group of short sided people rallied and voted it down. In the consolidation era it would be wise to have the best most modern physical plant possible
How did i try to make anyone think i was in the loop? . .and give myself relevance? . . that's funny. . . .i clearly stated i am not against the new gym. . I'm kinda leary of getting in a habit of buying more than is needed. . the whole lets get as much new stuff. as we can so we don't get consolidated argument also is just a smoke screen. . your school is more likely to get consolidated over financial mismanagement and falling test scores than anything. . not because your gym is too small. . . and JC will always be home to me. . i care about that school. . your right i can't vote. and I'm not campaigning against the election . . i just said i think they may be asking for too much and it might turn some voters off. . you will never see me say don't vote for something unless its something that truly can hurt the school or town
This is expensive, but everything is. There is no doubt that JC needs a new gym. The problem is the State will not pay anything on the new facility unless it contains a classroom. As long as JC's schools are in good physical shape, there should not be an issue with them building a new gym and going from 35 to 41 mills.

I've only seen two articles in the EDNT (both linked earlier in the tread). One was a recap of the board minutes and the other was the summary of the election committee giving their OK. Both seemed pretty straight forward and I'm not sure what could be considered "propaganda" in either one of those. If you've seen something else, I'd appreciate a link because there is no benefit to anybody for if you're seeing false or misleading information out there.
As far as cost, yes the numbers are unfortunately large. it would be great if buildings could be build for what they could be build for in 1914 (the "red" building) or even in 1954 (the current gym), but those days are long gone. Hey, in 1954 one could buy a new car for $1,700 and put a gallon of gas in it for $0.22.
There was an error in the linked EDNT article about the smaller building. The cost for that 4,000+/- square foot building is in the $320,000-$375,000 range and not the $620,000 in the article. That proposed building would provide the staff who currently work, and the kids who interact with that staff, in the "red" building modern facilities. Its construction costs are ESTIMATED to be in the $80-$95 range as it is more of a conventional structure.
The ESTIMATED cost per square foot on the gym/arena building is in the $135 to $140 range. As a point of reference, the El Dorado High school facility that was built between 2009 and 2011 is 320,000 square feet and cost $43,300,000. Obviously a much larger project but that works out to about $135/sq ft. CLICK HERE (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Dorado_High_School_%28Arkansas%29)
The opportunity to vote is one of our most sacred rights. I hope each Junction City voter exercises that right in an informed and conscientious manner. The Junction City voters of 1914 and 1954 made commitments that served their communities for years. What the 2015 Junction City voters decide to do will be determined on February 10th.
You have a pm bleu
Looks like JC needs a new gym pretty badly and I hope they get one. However, these days any tax increase can be difficult.
The tax increase will amount to $1.18 per thousand of appraised property value. That's $118.00/yr for a home with a tax appraised value of $100,000.00
That's $2.27 per week. Every one of us throws way more than that away on useless junk.
There are some in our area with millions of dollars worth of property that are up in arms about the increase. I get it, I just really don't care.....especially since a large portion of their increase will simply become a write-off while the common people gladly absorb nearly all of our increase.
There are two taxes that are about as "fair" as you can get, that's sales and millage. I don't like paying taxes any more than the next guy but to have public services like schools, it's necessary. Every square inch of the district is taxed, regardless of it being undeveloped, commercial, or residential....someone, somewhere, is being taxed.
Old Red is an eyesore, a health hazard, and a fire hazard. If that thing goes, it'll take the hole North complex with it. In addition, it's just not practical or safe for what it's being used for.....or anything else for that matter.
JC's old gym is a death trap. I have feared for my life during more than one Dual State tourney. Regardless of cost, the fact is they NEED a new gym.
Reminder!!! Public meeting concerning millage increase and construction plans. Tomorrow night 1/22/2015, 6:00 PM in the JC Gym.
Can someone keep me updated on the jc/pc game? Girls and boys please. Having to work
From the EDNT:
Junction City 70, Parkers Chapel 44
JUNCTION CITY - The Dragons broke open a close game at intermission by outscoring the Trojans 31-12 in the third period en route to a win in 7-2A East action.
Tyrus Grayson, Randall Holyfield and Javontay Rogers each scored 14 points for the Dragons, who led 26-22 at intermission before pulling away in the third period.
Nicky Lambis had 13 points for the Trojans (4-14, 0-7).
Parkers Chapel tops Junction City
By Tony Burns, Sports Editor.
JUNCTION CITY - It took awhile for the 7AA-East girls first-place showdown to materialize Friday. But when it did, it proved worth the wait.
Parkers Chapel seized control of the league race with a gutty 55-49 victory over the Lady Dragons. The Lady Trojans, who saw a 17-point halftime lead whittled to one, improved to 15-4, 7-0.
After the game, an overjoyed Coach Mark Young credited everyone, including the inventors of Theraflu and Band-Aids.
"We had Kylie Madison going with a gimped up ankle she sprained Tuesday night. We had Lauren Brumley going, probably, with the first onset of the flu. My girl is home with the flu. We had two or three other girls who were playing under the weather tonight. It was a big, big win for us," he said. "I was thinking when we came down here, 'I don't know if we're going to be able to hold up.' I told Brumley not to even ride the bus tonight, just to show up around six o'clock, get in the bed and get some rest. Sheesh! Our team showed so much guts tonight. I was really proud of them, just really proud of 'em."
The Lady Trojans looked like they were going to shoot Junction City out of its own gym in the first half. PC hit six 3-pointers by five different players.
And, none of those players were named Lauren Brumley. Brooke Jackson came up huge off the bench, hitting a pair of 3-pointers and scoring 12 of her 14 points in the opening half.
"I told her, 'Where have you been all my life, Brooke Jackson?'" said Young. "Just a big time, coming off the bench and knowing we needed a spark offensively. She played a little bit at Lonoke. She's played against the kind of athletes these guys have got. She fell right in there and looked like she was out there for a reason and made a big, big impact on the game tonight."
Jackson's 3-pointer and backdoor layup triggered PC's 9-0 run to end the second quarter. Bailey Norwood hit two buckets to give the Lady Trojans a 31-14 halftime lead.
Junction City, which looked deflated as it walked into its dressing room, came out breathing fire in the third quarter.
Nikayla Fisher drove in for a layup before Khadijah Webster, who sat for most of the first half, hit back-toback buckets in the paint.
Brumley drained a 3-pointer to stop the streak. But, the Lady Dragons kept firing. Samantha Meadows hit two at the line. Ashley Gibson scored in the paint. Fisher hit a floater in the lane before Chakeenia Malone hit back-to-back baskets. Webster followed with a three-point play, cutting the deficit to 34-33 with 1:59 left in the third quarter.
With the crowd howling and PC reeling, the Lady Trojans got the ball on the block to Norwood, who scored over Webster.
After a Junction City miss, Jackson knocked down a 12 footer in the lane. Seconds later, Brumley popped a 3-pointer. Norwood scored in the lane to end the third and Brumley opened the fourth with another 3-pointer, pushing the Lady Trojans' advantage to 46-33.
The Lady Dragons ricocheted off the ropes with a flurry of energy, sparked by Fisher.
Gibson scored in the lane before Fisher hit a short jumper then turned a steal into a layup. Malone hit inside and then Fisher struck again, finishing off a coast-to-coast drive with a nifty lefty scoop, slicing the lead to 46-43 with 5:03 remaining.
PC's Norwood and Junction City's Jyrezhia Nathan swapped buckets before Brumley hit a dagger 3-pointer, stretching the lead to 51-45 with 3:05 left in the game.
"Anytime we made a run, it seemed like she would step up and hit a big three for them," said Junction City coach Henry Harrell.
The teams stalemated for a pair of possessions before PC pulled the ball out and gnawed at the clock. Late in the game, the Lady Dragons had only committed three fouls.
By the time Junction City chased and fouled enough to put Brumley at the line for a 1-and-1, only 32 seconds remained. The senior netted both free throws to, essentially, put the game away.
"The first half, we came out and didn't play very well. We went in at halftime and talked about, if we could just get a couple of baskets and start feeling good about ourselves, we could get back in the game," said Harrell.
"I thought we came out in the third quarter and did get a couple of baskets and started feeling good about ourselves. We got our crowd in it and was right there. We had cut it to two, I think, and they came out and made a three. We just couldn't get over the hump."
Seven players scored for PC led by Brumley, Norwood and Jackson with 14 points apiece.
Brumley had three steals and scored all of her points in the second half. Haley Barker, Kelsie Madison, Kylie Madison and Amanda Easley all hit 3-pointers for the Lady Trojans, who opened up a twogame lead in the conference.
"This team just steps up. They just step up," said Young. "They've learned a lot of lessons the last few years about stepping up, next man. We didn't know how much we were going to get out of Lauren tonight. We just made it happen. That's all I can tell you. We just made it happen."
Fisher was a warrior for Junction City. The sophomore nearly messed around and got a triple-double, finishing with 14 points, eight rebounds, nine steals and four assists.
"I thought she played, probably, her best game this year. She played with a lot of passion, drove it to the basket. I thought she did a great job tonight," said Harrell. "I'm just sorry we weren't able to win it for her because she did play hard tonight. I told her after the game, she could do that every night if she just puts her mind to it. We'll see where it goes from there."
Malone notched 13 points with 10 boards, including eight offensive. Webster scored seven with five offensive rebounds and Gibson added six with eight rebounds.
Harrell said the decision to sit Webster in the first half was a strategic one.
"We were playing man. There really was nobody out there that she could guard at that time," he said. "So, we decided in order to sacrifice defense for offense, that we would put a smaller group out there on the floor at that time."
After a lopsided first half, both coaches had positive thoughts about the red-hot final 16 minutes of action.
"I'm proud of them for not quitting," said Harrell. "We could've laid down. Down 17 points at halftime, any other time we probably would've just shut it down and said what the heck with it. But, tonight we stayed with it. I tell them if they just keep battling, good things will happen."
"They played with a lot more energy," Young said of the Lady Dragons. "They played like they had a lot on the line and they needed to win. They fought real hard and fought back - a lot of credit to them. We thought at the half they were teetering a little bit. They came out really strong in the third quarter, got it inside to the big girl and made a run on us. But, that bunch of mine just perservered. They just found a way, hit a couple shots and held on at the end. Thank God the clock ran out."
Imagine that. . the EDNT puts a blurb about the boys game in the paper and then Burns writes a thesis length article about the girls game. . .Burns fascination with girls basketball has been disturbing for over 2 decades now. . there's nothing wrong with girls basketball . . .nothing at all. . but Burns is just consumed with it
If he didn't cover them they wouldn't get much attention which for the girls is a big deal but what I will say is pretty weird is that he can name every player from the 1997-1998 jc softball teams hahaha
Due would rather cover a 10 and under girls 10 under AAU tourney than any sporting event on earth. . its bizarre

Just seen that J.C lost to Emerson by 1 in OT tonight...
Yep and apparently decided to allow the same kid to work them over for 30 as he has all 3 times they have played them I'm sorry but if u have the athletes jc has the u should be able to shut down the one guy that's carries that team
Revels is just more of a man when it comes to playing JC. He goes around, through, and over even their big men. Not taking away from JC cuz they have an awesome team and I hope they win 2a. But Revels plays AAU with some of the JC boys and he gets pumped up to play them. I may be wrong but I think when Revels is pumped up nobody can stop him 1 on 1.. He's too strong, fast, and smart.

Oh I know one on one he is tough but u can throw a double team at him when u can to try and contain him more
Several times he had 2 or even 3 people on him. Especially after the 3rd quarter. Then there would be a man wide open under the basket. It isn't like JC got beat by a bad team though. It could be a good thing they lost. Sometimes it makes a team realize they need to work a little harder.. Winning all them time can create bad habits. JC will be just fine though

I agree.
Yea Emerson is a good ball team for sure and I too believe jc needed a loss
I said the same thing this morning to someone
I know some won't agree - especially after a loss - but I think JC is the favorite in 2A this year. Nobody can match their athleticism & they're a yr more mature. 2A is there for the taking; there's not a Cedar Ridge from last that will just blow everyone else's doors off.
Clarendon and Earle are both very talented and athletic. JC will probably have the size advantage like in most games.
Jc doesn't have the bench players to come in and give rest and there not be a drop off in talent like last year so that will be interesting to see against the best teams in 2a

I promise Clarendon can match whatever basketball athleticism j.c. can put on the floor. They also have a bench that contributes.

So can England, Augusta, Earle and EPC
Epc can't
I talked to the Emerson coach before tonight's game and he said 5 of the top teams in 2a called him just today to see how to beat JC.. I'm not sure how strong 2a is but if someone can match JC athlete for athlete.. There should be some more schools that can compete with JC in football. Cuz those JC boys are men. I heard some of the JC boys have 7 or 8 state rings. Not sure how true that is though. I know they won state in atleast 3 sports last year alone. I feel if a school could match JC athletes JC wouldn't win state in nearly every 2a sport. Just my opinion. But JC is beatable. Cuz Emerson doesn't even match them athlete for athlete.. Not even close. If all 5 of JC starters came to Emerson probably 3 or 4 of them would start here. JC has far superior athletes than any high school team I've watched this year. And they play under control. Emerson beat them only because they gave all they had and came up with huge plays when they needed them. But like I said.. JC can be beat but I refuse to believe there are many 2a basketball teams that have the athletes that JC has

Surely you are smart enough to understand it only takes about 7-8 good athletes to be good at basketball, and you need at least twice that many (probably more like 3 time's) to be good at football. It's a numbers thing. Then you have schools with kids who only play one sport, which I'm not a supporter of, I think they should stay busy with all sports. Using your theory of how many athletes it takes to compete, maybe Emerson should have a football team. I mean they did beat J.C. in basketball, so they should be able to in football too. RIGHT? Geez dude!
Then there is the basketball IQ thing, the best athletes don't always win in basketball, I use last year's cedar ridge team as the prime example.
Then there is the fact that out of all of j.c. rings, I don't think none of there current players have one for basketball. Example, Clarendon beat them in the semis last year and I believe Clarendon returned all starters From that team. You want to see an impressive resume, look at Clarendons for this year. They beat the 4th ranked Augusta team last night by 20+. They also have wins over much larger schools including pine bluff, and I'm not talking about summer camps.
Last but not least, your first statement lead me to believe you are full of 💩💩💩💩, because I doubt, Clarendon's, Earle's, England's, Augusta's and White County central's coaches all called Emerson's coach to get "his formula" to beating J.C.
I know for a fact Clarendon's didn't call because they've already beat them once and know how they play. The only advantage JC has on us is physical size...both teams are run n gun, average free throws but I think it will come down to control as it did with cedar ridge in finals last year...you can beat Clarendon learned that lesson.

Jc was awful with free throws last year against Clarendon I'm not far off if I say they were 5-20 from the line that was the true difference maker
You are forgetting that Clarendon also missed a ton of free throws.
Not near as many
Plus Clarendone had 8-10 fouls more which gave Junction more freethrows
I'm not debating why we won..it could have gone either way and I fully expect the next matchup of these two very athletic teams to be just as evenly matched. My point is that there were tons of variables that could have changed things either way so why offer up excuses? It was a very competitive game that we happened to come out of on top.
Besides, it would not have mattered if j.c, would have won that game, ceder ridge still would have won.
I'm not arguing either in just stating stats and I agree too that cedar ridge was it either way
JC may have had an easier time with Cedar Ridge because they are accustomed to being in the big game in other sports so probably wouldn't have had the nerves that our guys no doubt had. The result would have been the same however...at least that's my thoughts.
I would say jc size would be the main difference between those two but again cedar ridge was just too well coached and fundamental

JC shoots free throws a lot better than that now. Not sure what they shot either time they played Emerson but it was way better than 25%.. I would guess around 70 or higher both times.. Bell is probably the worst FT shooter and he isn't terrible

That team was the perfect example of how a team of fundamentally sound basketball players can beat a much more athletic team.
We look to have more discipline this season so apparently Coach has made a few changes...yea they like to put on a show but when it's a tight game you see more layups and less dunks. I've also seen them slow down the tempo at times to control the game. Both great teams so it'll be a heck of a game if they meet again.

Not sure about top to bottom, but the PC Lady Trojans lead the league. They improved to 20-4, 11-0 after a Friday win over Norphlet.
Junction City 69
Woodlawn 32
WOODLAWN - Javontay Rogers erupted for 34 points, as the Dragons (20-1, 11-0) raced out to a 32-9 lead after the opening period en route to a road win in the 7-2A East. Tyrus Grayson added 12 points for the Dragons.
Sounds like those Woodlawn refs called a pretty tight game. :o
From the EDNT:
Lady Dragons lose by four at Woodlawn
WOODLAWN - Junction City's senior girls came out on the short end of a foulfest Friday, falling 56-52 in overtime at Woodlawn. The Lady Dragons fell to 15-6 overall and 8-3 in 7AA-East play.
Junction City trailed 33-30 going into the fourth quarter but sent the game into OT when Miaya Johnson hit a lay-up at the buzzer, tying the game at 47-47. Woodlawn outscored the Lady Dragons 9-5 in overtime.
According to Junction City coach Henry Harrell, the Lady Bears shot 44 free throws in the game, hitting 20. He said the Lady Dragons made just 6-of-18 at the line. Three Junction City players fouled out and three more had four fouls.
Jyrezhia Nathan and Khadijah Webster led Junction City with 15 points apiece. Ashley Gibson scored nine and Chakeenia Malone added seven.
The Lady Dragons played without Nikayla Fisher, who missed her second game with an illness.
It was ugly. We had 1 foul out & my daughter played half of the 4th & all of the OT with 4 fouls.
Can any JC fans give me a scouting report on the PC Girls?
We play pc again Tuesday so I should be able to let ya know something.
Today (Monday, Feb 9th) is the last day to vote early in the Junction City School District millage election. If you can't make it to the polls on Tuesday, Feb 10th, please vote today at the Union County Court House.
Passage of the millage adjustment will provide funds that would be used for multiple construction projects on the Junction City campus. The two biggest of those projects would address deficiencies in two of the oldest buildings still in use on campus. One of those buildings is a 100 year old administration building and the other is the 60 year old gym.
PLEASE VOTE.
Okay thank you!

I'm sure they do tryouts...even Clarendon does and has cuts and we don't have anywhere close to JC numbers.
They don't do tryouts
That surprises me.
I figured they didn't.... Not with 20 players on a roster
Moma lion I'm surprised y'all do tryouts ...most 2A schools dont
Some r freshman that moved up
4 freshmen moved up at the end of the year
I think ten of them are 9th graders. Only 15 on the bench are eligible to take the court during tourney, I believe. The other 5 get to dress out and travel but not play. At least that's the way I understood it.

Five average from each of the four grades doesn't seem too amazing for a school that won a state championship in 2007 and has had a good shot at getting to the state tournament for each of the last 10 years or so. Couldn't find a roster, but here's the pic from regional:

I don't know about the number of freshman, but DD hit the nail on the head with the 15 eligible limit:
"Number of Players Allowed - A maximum of fifteen players may be on the official score book. NO SUBSTITUTIONS SHALL BE MADE AFTER A LIST IS SUBMITTED TO THE SCORER FOR A TEAM'S FIRST GAME, but if fewer than fifteen are listed initially, additions may be made in later sessions to a total of fifteen. Substitutions may be made between regional and state tournaments but not between state semifinals and finals. (Teams may dress out more than 15.)"http://members.ahsaa.org/public/userfiles/Basketball/2015/BB_GenlInform_2015.pdf
Not ten Freshmen, not sure what I was thinking. I count 5 Freshmen and 4 Sophomores, five JR'S, and six SR's.
There are 8 seniors and then 4 jrs, sophomores, and freshmen on the team

Yes, they played in Sr district and regionals.
I'm sorry can't remeber his name but the big left handed kid,is any body looking at him, to me he has D1 talent big,quick,soft touch and can handle ball. And I think he out jump qualls for the hogs. I think the sky is limit for this kid. Yall have a lot of talented players but this kid is a special one I think.
Tyrus Grayson and he is a jr but don't think he has any looks. He hasn't been very consistent this yr so who knows
Ok he looked pretty impressive. Maybe he will get on summer team and get noticed,maybe it was just his raw talent that impressed me.Good luck to all y'all's kids.Cant wait to watch Bell play for the hogs.
He plays aau ball. They went to Las Vegas and played as well
Ok yall keep winning won't get to come back until Wensday night would like to watch y'all's kids one more time.
If he played good Saturday night, in front of UAPB, they could start showing some interest.
I hope they do good and win but bad thing is I'll be working til at least 12 sat so be hard to make it up there in time unfortunately
Good luck in finals. Just wanted to say how much I liked watching yall play.I never seen y'all's kids complain about a foul and never once seen them get on to each other, and that's very refreshing to see.
LOL! Thanks for the compliment. I think those kids are their own biggest critics though. I know they don't mind getting in each others face, especially on the football field.
I think they could
How serious is the injury to Dancy? Good luck Saturday
Messed up on that post. But any way yall go win state. And I hope dAncy will be ok.
Meet dancy he is a very good kid and personable. You JC guys should be proud of him! He is a great ambassador for your school and community. Hope he is ok!
Yall's team is very classy. If any team were to take BIC out, I would rather it be yall than anyone else. Good luck in state. Hope yall take it along with Marmaduke's girls! Nothing against England, just really like JC and Marmaduke.

Man I hate that dancy got hurt! Great athlete but really seems like a quality person as well. That article was right though he has a bright future. I would not take the chance on a career ending injury. He will be a star at la tech.
Still think the hogs missed on him, regardless of size.
I wonder what could happen to the knee if he plays hurt? If there is ANY possibility of further damage, I hope he doesn't play.
Orthopedic guy said even with a brace he wouldn't risk it. One wrong turn or fall could hurt it worse and require surgery. Like the article said though that is his choice but would think a doctor would advise against it. That would be a tough choice on a kid!

If I was LA tech I would make a suggestion.
I think doing warm ups is one thing but if he actually plays him in gonna lose what little respect I had for the man
Sounds like a no brainer to me. You don't risk a more serious injury when the kid has a collegiate career in front of him.

I'm sorry, but that decision is not the kids. I understand letting them grow up and be responsible for their own choices. But sometimes kids don't think about the big picture. They look at the right now. and though playing in the championship game and being a huge contributor in it does not outweigh the kids future in college.
Tech has access to one of the best orthopedic surgeons in the country in Dr. Bundrick.

Hopefully he's Dancy's physician of choice and has weighed in on what's in Dancy's longterm best interest.
+1 bleudog
Man he is a good kid.I hate it for him tough decision. If there is any chance of hurting it worse don't play. He is a senior and he can be a big help in the game just being there and keeping other players heads right.
Personally I don't think Mr. Dancy will risk further injury but willdress out and support his team mates. He's got a good head on his shoulders....

Now whats Kev"s story today? Easy Victory.. I say no. Did JC make multiple mistakes? I say no. What I say is hard fought game between two great sets of athletes.
He kinda missed on that one

I bet this want be sportswriter thinks thinks JC beat themselves and England had nothing to do with it. JC is a very good team but there not Kentucky.
He just missed the same way, Earle fans missed. Few from the 5 and 6 saw this team about to peak, Clarendon saw how close they were to getting beat. Earle and JC saw the lions at their best.
That's the great thing about basketball, when a team gets hot, Watch out!

C'mon man, not enough negative post game FF action from the JC posters so y'all gang up on the hometown sports writer whose pregame prediction didn't pan out. ::)
Here's his story today: CLICK HERE (http://digital.olivesoftware.com/olive/odn/eldorado/shared/ShowArticle.aspx?doc=ElDNTimes%2F2015%2F03%2F15&entity=Ar00705&sk=9C3DD95A). (I put this article in the game thread this morning.)
While the outcome portion of Kev's pregame
editorial didn't come to fruition, I'd think most would consider his post game article a fair representation of events. The EDNT does a pretty good job of covering Union County sports. A lot of small schools don't have a paper in their communities that even knows they exist.

And PP12, how accurate was your pre-game prediction on how the Emerson/Bay championship game would turn out?

Looks like he saw the same game I did, a hard fought well played game by two GREAT TEAMS
I just wanted to say that I watched jc over the years in football and basketball and someone down that way is teaching them young men something other than how to play basketball and football.There sportmanship is better than any team I've ever seen on any teams it's hard to win the way they do in everything and take a loss like that and not act a idiot. I've seen nothing but great class out of that school.classy young men

I have to say that I have to agree with the classy part, from watching them in the State Tournament. The way the acted was how you want young men to act.
Congratulations to the Dragons on these lists.

Winners with winning attitudes are what all parents and coaches have taught them. I saw several teams with remarkable kids that were "yes sir, no sir" kids. As a parent and coach I know how hard it is to teach putting your best face forward. I'm Proud of these kids for being role models to the youth of tomorrow. These are our future leaders! Thanks to all parents and coaches, your job doesn't go unnoticed.

Big week set to start for Junction City
By Tony Burns
Sports Editor
The announcement a couple weeks ago that Junction City was awarded the 2A State Basketball Tournament this season has put a pleasant buzz in the air. The community's perennially powerful football program had, for it, a disappointing season, falling in the first round of the playoffs.
Football's loss turned into basketball's gain. The Dragons lead the 2A-8 with a 15-4 overall record, 9-1 in league play.
"The guys have played pretty well this year. We've been pretty consistent most of the year," said Junction City coach Kendall Hutcheson. "I think the excitement level is pretty high. As far as the team goes, the state tournament is something we're not even thinking about, right now."
Junction City will host the state tournament. But there's no guarantee the Dragons will compete in the state tournament. The team will have to navigate through a difficult regional and the 2A-8 conference is no joke, either.
Woodlawn (11-4, 6-1) and Hampton (11-2, 5-1) are both vying for the league lead and Fordyce (4-5, 4-4) and Lafayette County (7-7, 3-4) have the talent to beat any team in the district. The Redbugs handed Junction City its lone league loss.
"After not playing well down the stretch last year, we understand if we don't focus on the now, we'll be setting all this up and hosting for all the other teams," Hutcheson said of the state tournament. "We really don't want that to happen. We're concentrating on getting there first."
It all starts with conference play and securing a high seed in the regional tournament.
The Dragons will play Lafayette County on Tuesday and host Fordyce on Friday. Next week, Woodlawn, Bearden and Hampton are the scheduled opponents.
"These next two weeks will pretty much determine the seeding for the district tournament," said Hutcheson. "We're really concentrated on what's next and what we've got to do next."
The district tournament will be held at Lafayette County.

"This season he eclipsed the 1,000-point mark for his career. As a senior, he's averaging 22 points and 7 rebounds per game while shooting 40 percent from 3-point range."

Dragons topple Cougars
News-Times Staff
Penny Chanler/Special to News-Times
STAMPS – Mission accomplished.
After winning the 8-2A regular season title, Junction City added a second championship on Friday night, as the Dragons topped Lafayette County 50-41 to win the 8-2A District Tournament.
The Dragons (23-4) will be the conference's No. 1 seed for the 2A South Regional Tournament, which is being hosted by Dierks.
Junction City, who is hosting the state tournament, will take on Caddo Hills Wednesday at 8:30 p.m. looking to clinch home-court advantage with a victory.
In the title game, the Dragons used a big second quarter to take the lead.
Trailing 9-5, Junction City outscored the Cougars 16-4 in the stanza to lead 21-13 at intermission.
The Dragons led 34-28 at the end of the third quarter before winning by the final margin.
Jamal Johnson had 18 points and Ryan Allen added 17 points for the Dragons.
The Dragons got to the finals after outlasting Fordyce 60-57 in overtime on Thursday in the semifinals.
The game was tied at 24-all at halftime before the Dragons led 38-35 at the end of the third quarter.
The score was knotted at 47 at the end of regulation.
Balanced scoring was a key to success for the Dragons, who had four players score in double figures.
Kamarian Dade, who hit two free throws with 2.9 seconds left in overtime to give the Dragons a threepoint lead, had 18 points to lead Junction City.
Jakourian Key had 16 points with Johnson chipping in with 13 points and Allen finished with 10 points.

Last second shot to win it. Buzzer went off as it went through the basket!
Who made the winning shot? Allen ?
Nobody going to discuss dierks beat y'all 55-37 and that being the lowest scoring game you guys have had all year ? To be fair I think caddo could've beat y'all without there coaches idiot decisions and magnet should've beat y'all before it went into overtime. I could see junction getting bounced 1st round most likely 2nd round.
