Unless this is a score reporting error, I believe Alma's boys beat Beebe 44-29. The reason I say "unless..." is because the game was reported to have happened on Friday when it happened on Saturday. I believe they just have the date wrong.

Alma girls and boys get swept at Bentonville tonight.

The girls never really could get going against Bentonville. They are too long. I see they are undefeated, have a good guard, and good size. Are they a favorite in the 7A girls?

Alma's boys played well with Bentonville for a half. Alma has three starters who are football players and I think they are still trying to get their basketball legs. The 3rd quarter killed them as they lost 43-61. Hutchison for Bentonville is a VERY good player and so is Shanks. Bentonville is a solid team. Boys could win a state tournament game depending on how tough 7A is this year.

I know Wonderview is a solid 1A team. Alma's girls are very young and inexperienced this year. Have one returning starter and she's a good one. We'll see how they mesh as conference play comes around. They've played some solid competition already. Maybe will help down the road.

I can't speak to this school in particular, as I know they are just tradtionally good, but I've seen some absolutely great 1A teams. I see the classifications not mattering as much in basketball (they still matter obviously). I do agree with your premise, though.

I am starting to grow a little concerned about this year's girls team. I hope they are able to string together some wins and get on a hot streak before conference play.

Bentonville's girls are well coached. They would probably be the 3rd best team in the West, behind VB and Fayetteville.  NLR is the cream of the crop in the central. Look for Fayetteville and NLR to square off again for the title.

Pretty sure we do. From what I've seen, a good defensive team, but still trying to find their scoring after losing Corder from last year. Johnson, Jensen, Shelton, Stahler, and Wood are the main contributers, but Mann, other Jensen are getting some minutes, too. Athletic enough to defend, just haven't been able to fine tune the basketball skills yet. I do like that our boys are playing some tough competition in Tennessee to work on that.

This will be a good game this Friday when the Goblins go to Alma.  I believe the Greenwood games are the only difference in conference play between these two teams at the moment.  Harrison has lost only 4 games to 7A opponents in the 18 games played.

Alma girls get a big time win that hopefully gives them some momentum against Harrison at home.

The boys lose a close one against probably the best team in the conference. Both teams seem to be showed marked improvement as the season progresses.
Title: Re: Alma Airedale/Airedalette Basketball 2017-2018
Post by: AT on January 23, 2018, 09:12:38 pm
Alma splits tonight with Clarksville on the road. Alma girls lose while the Alma boys win going away.

So that's the end of the first round of conference games. A few thoughts:

The girls obviously didn't have the best first round of things, but that Harrison home win was big. It gives them a chance to be something other than the 4 Seed out of the West (West). If the girls can beat Farmington and/or Clarksville at home and maybe sweep Harrison, perhaps they can get a higher seed.

The boys had a great first round compared to my expectations. It didn't start off super well with a loss to rival Greenwood, but that game doesn't matter in many ways and Greenwood is pretty solid this year. Alma won two of their three 5A games and they were both on the road. Also they lost to Harrison by a much slimmer margin than I thought (3 points). If Alma can beat Farmington and Clarksville by 10+ points at home and somehow beat Harrison by more than 4 points, Alma could still feasibly snatch the 1 seed out of the West (West). That's a tall task, though. This team is definitely getting better.

Yes, GP. Christian has made leaps and bounds of improvement each year. Here's to hoping for more success his senior year.

Coach Stahler for Harrison has another nephew coming up the ranks in Alma. I think he is a sophomore this year?

Alma splits with Siloam tonight on Siloam's home court.

Alma's girls had a sizable lead at half before SS came storming back to win.

SS had a 8 point lead in the boys' game, before Alma had a very strong 2nd half to win by double digits.

A little late on this, but what a great night for the Airedales and Airedalettes this past Friday! The boys set up the showdown for the West (West) 1 seed while the girls get a big time win that could maybe improve seeding and give some momentum into these last two games. Big upset for the girls, they needed two contested threes in the last few minutes and some good defense to pull it out.

The big one for the boys is tonight.

Not a small one for the girls either. Alma's girls could grab a 2 seed from the West with a win.

Alma teams wrap up the regular season against Clarksville with a split. The boys win big while the girls lose. The boys will play Maumelle in the district tournament while the girls will play Vilonia.

Alma's results from the first round of district were a mixed bag. The girls lost to Vilonia and ended their season. Not losing too much at all in terms of number of players and gain another solid 9th grade class. Perhaps we'll see a jump next season.

The boys won over Maumelle. They were a 2 seed while Maumelle was a 3 seed, but I think if you had polled FF before the game, Maumelle would have been favored so I was happy to see us win and punch a ticket to state after a year off from it last year for the first time in awhile.

The boys will now play Morrilton Thursday in the semi-finals of district.

Alma boys beat Morrilton last night in a big game and have a shot at the district title with a third crack at Harrison.

Alma will be the 1 or 2 seed at state depending on the outcome of the district title.

Hate I missed this game...Did not even get to listen to it (work engagement). From what I've been told it was a sure enough ball game...

Alma ends basketball season with a loss in the first round of the state tournament to Watson Chapel. Great improvement throughout the season. Thanks to the seniors Kade Wood, Christian Stahler, Brayden Johnson, Garrison Jensen. There are others and I don't know all their names, but those are the 4 starters.

Haven't heard anything, Grizzly. Would be interesting, Alma hasn't been the benefit of transfers since Luke Folkerts in 2005. Interesting.

Finally heard something about this, only word of mouth, though. Seems that Coach Mann, our girls basketball coach, may have two nephews moving to Alma this year. Don't know anything about their ability level.

That seemed to work out pretty well for the Airedales.
