Region 5

[RattlerFan1]

Idk much about the boys side but I am gonna go with Ouchita winning the girls side!

[OwlFan4]

Ouachita girls barely got by Emerson in district finals.  I sat behind Quachita's bench and if the refs had T'ed up the coach for his incessent whining like they would have any other coach in the state, he would have been in the locker room before halftime.  Ouachita's girls may not have won the regular season district had they not refused to play all the other district teams more than once.  AAA really needs to do something about this 1A/2A blended conferences.  1A teams don't seam to get much credit for beating a 2A team, while losing to them really hurts. They need some kind of point system like the 6A/7A conferences have had in the past.  This is especially true when some teams in Ouachita's district had to play 2A teams twice in the regular season and only got to play Quachita once.  If Ouachita is the best this district has to offer, no girls team from this district may make it to state unless the other district is extremely weak, IMO. 

On the boys side, I'm sure teams in the district would have all won at least 1 more game by playing Quachita's boys instead of Harmony Grove, Parker's Chapel or another 2A school.  In the boy's district final, Nevada squeaked by the home team Bradley by 3 points.  I think Bradley's boys finally beat Emerson for the first time in 3 tries this season by 2 in the semis.  Bradley definitely had the home court advantage in both those games.  I think the Dem/Gaz had Nevada 3rd or 4th in the state this last couple of weeks so good luck to them in the regional & state tourneys.  This district might have a team in the state championship for the 3rd year in a row.  It's time to bring a state title back to this district.

I predict that Region 5 girls will go 0-4 in state tournament so it really doesn't matter who wins the regional, and on boys side Nevada will win the regional and might win one game at state tournament, but the other three will be 0-3.  Very weak Region compared to last few years, especially when you take Kirby out and Emerson is way down.

dermott can Win a game depending what region they'd pair with. Nevada can make the final four seeing as the upper quarter of state will not have much going for it. However their trip will end there catching the winner of Guy Shirley regions vs Kirby county line regional. So the trip for region 5 will be short for everyone besides the winner.

[OwlFan4]

Dermott has the talent to take down Nevada.  Dermott has 2 post players in the 6'3"-6'4" range and good guard play. They have improved tremendously as the year has gone on.  That will be an interesting game if both make it to Regional finals at Emerson.

[Snakebite1]

Nevada will roll through regionals and State to the semis. Girls side looks like Ouachita is the only one that goes a couple of rounds in the State tournament I doubt either gets tested in Regions.

Must be no one attending this regional. Poor kids playing, you think some over zealous parent whose kid's team is winning would be crowing on here. Not even that though.

Well I think the players, fans and coaches pretty well know they will be "one and done" at Mt Ida, except Nevada might win one game.  Other than that, the rest will be 0-7, but maybe they will score more points than Bradley did last year (18), I guess that could be something to look forward to, and it is a nice drive up to Mt Ida, pretty scenery, lots of good places to eat in Hot Springs.

Region 5 is now 5-5 at the state tournament. So much for your 0-7 after Nevada wins.

Not sure where you get 5-5.  Nevada is 2-0, Dermott 1-1, Hampton 0-1, Bradley 1-0, that looks like 4-2.  Certainly better than most people and I expected.  However, I don't see either Nevada or Bradley advancing much farther.

Not much further for Nevada to advance

Your original post said after Nevada the rest of region 5 would be 0-7. I figured you were talking about boys and girls combined. If so, region 5 is 5-5.

strong probably got the 2 worst 4 seeds to play in the entire tournament. Flip strong girls with any other 1 seed and the girls would have went 0-4. Flip strong with Nemo and they lose by 30-40. So in his defense he was spot on with the girls. Except they got the luckiest draw ever lol
