Preface: Only guys games

Teams from the West faced off against Central opponents 9 times this state tournament.

The West won 7 of those games, including 3 lower seeds beating higher seeds from the Central.

Conway and Cabot, the top two seeds from the Central, managed to eek out wins against Northside and Har-Ber, which allowed to the Central the luxury of being completely shut out from winning a game.

Any debate?

The WEST did great - good luck to the teams at Hot Springs.

The only game that shocked me was Springdale beating NLR. I was surprised at that.

Don't get me wrong. I thought the Central had a chance in almost all of the games. I thought Russellville had a chance against Har-Ber. But honestly, I thought it would be Fayetteville-Rogers in the finals.

I'll be pulling for Rogers. Nothing against Fayetteville. Marty Barnes still has plenty of fans in Russellville.

Good point. 8 Central vs. West meetings in the postseason, 6 Central wins. The two West victories were by a combined nine points. 3 of the 4 semifinalists were from the Central. All-Central final. Translation.....some years are better for the West than they are for the Central. And vice versa.

Because they were different teams and different players.

no.....that just CAN'T be it.

I think somehow Ronnie Peacock is to blame. He just has to be.

Or his wife.

Marty Barnes has fans outside of his own family?

Holy #*^$!
