7A Central Standings

[Quite Frankly]

Conway          6-1
Mt St. Mary     6-1
Russellville       5-2
Cabot             4-3
Van Buren       3-4
Central           2-5
Bryant            1-6
North L Rock    1-6

That's after one complete round robin.   

Note:  I've been told that there is some doubt about those standings.  Will try to get it corrected.  In particular VB apparently only had 2 wins.  But the w/l balances so right now I don't know who has another win.

Those standings came out of the ARDEM Gaz today.

QF

[Valleysports]

Well somehow Russellville finally got by Cabot last night. So we should be 6-2.  MSM and Conway should've played their 2nd round this week.  Work-Hard see you in Van Buren tomorrow?

[Valleysports]

Van Buren has got to have the nicest facility in the state! Wow!

Russellville and Van Buren were evenly matched last night, with all the sets coming down to, who was going to tag 25 first.  Russellville barely slipped out with the win in the 4th set.

Work-Hard, did ya'll ever play at Cabot?  You've got to tell us how that goes.  Cabot played at Russellville last week and just freaked over the officiating.  Cabots officials really do them an injustice.

We were swept at Cabot.  We played poorly after the 3-hour 90-degree bus ride.  "In" or "Out" was about the only call made --and a JV player from each team made those calls.  The lack of officiating probably changed the game but not the result

[stattracker]

Bryant beat Central the other night giving them 2 wins. They lost to Mount last night in 5.

[Valleysports]

I have been told by a mom who knows a mom, that Conway beat MSM and Cabot this week. 
That would mean - 
Conway only lost the 1 game to Russellville. 
MSM lost the 2 games to Conway.
Russellville lost 2 games, 1 Cabot and 1 MSM.

Conway plays Russellville again Tues at Conway.  Could change the change the top 3 or solidify it.

[Valleysports]

Conway dropped Russellville in 3 games - I Quit 

Stat, I'll be at the Cyclone Football Field filming the Jr High Football Game tonight, while Bryant is playing Russellville in the Gym.  Got to watch something that makes sense!  Enough of these girl players and women coach's. 

[stattracker]

I think your making the right choice. You won't miss much in the gym. R'ville should take it in 3.

[Valleysports]

Bryant beat Russellville in the 2nd game.  And two of the other games were close, my sources tell me.  I'm telling you, every year, the Cyclones (as well as the parents) get tired of Volleyball in the last half of the season. 

Can't believe I didn't get some response on that Women Coach's Comment.  QC did you miss that?

Be back at Cyclone Stadium watching Byrant & Russellville tonight Stat - no girls allowed on the field or sidelines.

[stattracker]

so, did Bryant win the match or just the 2nd set?

[Valleysports]

Just the 2nd Set, Russellville won the match 3-1.
I am told that Bryant has improved considerably, just some inconsistancy there.  Maybe a strong finish this year, will help next year's team.

[stattracker]

Bryant falls to Conway in 3. The first 2 sets were pretty good, but the 3rd set was probably the worst display of V-Ball I have seen since I played Backyard BBQ style.

Conway has a great setter. She moves the ball around the court well and their Right Outside hitter (#?) was good. She hit the ball well.

Bryant does have some talent coming up, so we'll see if it gets better.

[Valleysports]

Russellville beat NLR 3-0 tonight.
Russellville has 2 sophmores and the talented 9th grade girls say they're playing basketball next year.

[Valleysports]

Russellville took Central in 3-0 tonight.
I don't know for sure, but I'd guess the standings are.
Conway         
Mt St. Mary     
Russellville       
Cabot
Van Buren       
Central           
Bryant
North L Rock 
 

[Valleysports]

Well Russellville's coach took the handcuffs off and let the Cyclones finally come out swinging!  By far the best game they've played this year.  Just don't understand why it took until the last game - - alright I'll let it go! 

Cyclones took MSM out 3-1.

   

[Valleysports]

I think -

Conway is 13-1 (losing only to Russellville)
MSM is 11-3 (loses twice to Conway, 1 to Russellville 1-3)
Russellville 11-3 (loses to Conway, Cabot, & 1 to MSM 0-3).

[work-hard play-harder]

Van Buren finished conference play tonight by beating Cabot 3-1.

That should leave us 5th seed at 6-8

I have no idea how everything else is shaping up, but who is going to get the 6th seed out of the Central?

[Valleysports]

Way to go Van Buren!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cabot probably dropped to maybe 7-7?  Bet their 7 wins where at home.

[Valleysports]

Valley, I am afraid Bryant has gotten a little bit better. I don't know if they will be able to do anything in the playoffs or not. My DD started off season and she has to wait until thier season is over. She said they looked good today in practice. Maybe they are peaking at the right time. We'll see what happens.

[Valleysports]

Har-Ber is stronger than MSM, but wouldn't it be something if Bryant pulled that off and got MSM again.  Finish what ya'll started last time. 

In Russellville's case, if the Coach will let the same team loose that just whipped MSM, who knows.  Northside, Southside, and Rogers.

Odds are that the four teams in the Semi's, will be Rogers/Southside and Bentonville/Har-Ber
