2a8 is BAD wrong. That's just somebody putting teams somewhere that doesn't know.

Yep. LC is going to run that conference this year.

old.dole

Laf county will be solid but so will jc Bearden and Pc. There are a few others in that league that could make some noise as well

Eagles

2a7 Boys                                       2a7 Girls

Foreman                                        Cossatot

Gurdon                                          Acorn

Acorn                                            Horatio
Cossatot                                        Gurdon
Murfreesboro                                 Dierks
Mt. Ida                                          Foreman

This conference in boys is way down. The girls side is better, at least they'll compete well in regionals.

PapaHog

I don't see Woodlawn being last and I don't see Harmony Grove finishing that high. Lafayette County has the talent to compete...I wouldn't say they will run the conference. This conference is loaded. Absolutely loaded.

2A 5S

Boys.                                       Girls
England.                                Carlisle
Cutter                                    Bigelow
Maumelle Charter.                   England
Poyen.                                    Poyen
Magnet Cove.                         Magnet Cove
Carlisle.                                  Maumelle Charter
Hazen.                                   Cutter
Bigelow.                                Hazen

In boys I think England is clearly the favorite with the next 3-4 schools all battling. In Girls I think it's a toss up between Carlisle, Bigelow, and England. Then Poyen rounding out the top 4.

I don't agree with the girls side. I believe Acorn and Mt. Ida will be higher than that. Mt. Ida is returning everyone from a team that made it to State last year and Acorn is always good no matter what they have.

Jackson is out for Acorn until at least January I believe.

That will hurt Acorn girls for awhile then, they'll still be decent and not to be taken lightly though. Coach Jackson does a good job with what he has.

That's why I placed them 3rd. It'll be a tougher early on in conference, but I feel they'll still be good enough to beat most of their conference foes.

I agree with your picks on the boys side except I could see any of the top 6 finishing in any order.  The boys side are all competitive with each other in the conference but they will all struggle when it comes time for regionals.  Girls side will be Cossatot River, Acorn, Mt Ida, and Murfreesboro.  Not sure on the order of finish.

You have woodlawn girls kind of low. Depending on what kind of shooting night they have I can see their speed and high tempo being trouble for some teams to handle an entire 4 quarters. They live and die by the 3 though which makes them beatable and almost unbeatable any given night.

PapaHog

Hogman, for some reason it put all of your predictions on one list. Possibly because I'm viewing from mobile..

That is why I put them so low. The inconsistency makes them a toss-up. They could easily finish top 3 if not high but living or dying by the 3 ball is way to risky in my opinion.

Riverside down to eight players. I don't see them battling for conference championship but they still should be a regional qualifier.

baller334

Seriously!!! What happen there, I mean depending on which eight they have could still be very good.

You really think junction and Pc will finish in the bottom 3 of that conference?

If Des Arc girls stay healthy, they will be in the running. Return pretty much the entire team from last season, plus a starter who missed all year, plus had a nice 9th grade class last year. They did very well at summer camps.

As for our boys, who knows. We have began a new era with a new coach who at least practiced the team all summer.

Junction could be higher but PC has nothing left. I think they will have a rough couple of year coming up. Lost PG, SG, SF, and the 6'10" Center. They only return their PF. They will struggle. JC lost all of its guard play. The Post Players they have are the best in the conference but if you can't get them the ball you will struggle. JC has a chance to finish higher but I think they will be low.

This conference is crazy you could put 1-6 in any order. 2 teams will be left out of the regional tournament in this conference that would make it if in another conference.

I'd be surprised if WCC or Quitman does not win this conference with boys, but I'm going to take Pangburn girls to win the conference this year.

Did Bearden lose anyone in boys?

They´re losing most of their starters but the depth from last year is still there, people will just have to step up and fill new roles and i think that group of boys is more than capable to win district again. They got used to running the south last year and have a good chance to do it again.

With everything PC lost from last year, what is your thinking on their boys team topping the conference?

old.dole

Lots of young talent on that team that only got better going against the ones that graduated last year. Sophomores and juniors were both conference runner ups in jh they may not finish first but they most definitely will not finish next to last

trojanman

2a8 boys

1. Bearden- lose top 2 scorers and floor general, bring back shooter with range, physical post man and I'll pick them to finish first in the regular season
2. JC- bring back best post player in the league, guard play is the question mark here. I'll take them #2 in the regular season and could finish 1st
3. PC- My Trojans lose a ton but bring back a ton. Game experience will be the weakness but I believe they will finish the second half of the season strong
4. LC- very athletic but also undisciplined. New Coach and a good junior high moving up put them in the 4 spot for me
5. Fordyce- Athletes, young last year and will be improved, can they cause enough turnovers to win?
6. Woodlawn- live and die by the 3 can they stay hot enough to win a bunch of games?
7. Hampton- return everyone from last year and will be better but I don't think it will be enough this year with a new coach.
8. Grove- have heard they may have some guys playing that didn't play last year and they will need them. If true they should finish a little higher
9. Springhill- will be improved but outgunned. I think they can win some games just not enough to keep them out of the bottom

birddawg1986

2A 6 Boys:(District Tournament will be @ Marked Tree

1. Earle: 3 peat champs looking for 4. Crowder, Cisero, Smith are enough to win. Without Billy Murray can new coach push right buttons.
2. Marked Tree: Brown, Brown & Johnson provide scoring. The #16 player in the class of 2021 transfer in (Israel Malone 6'3 lefty reminds you of
                        Doolittle of Earle, Harrisburg transfer Brennan Honeycutt also 10th grader sharpshooter who played up for Harrisburg last season.
3. Clarendon: Maleek Cartwright, Maleek Cartwright, Maleek Cartwright. Will be the best player in the conference Not sure how good guard play will be.
4. EPC: Still have Bush, Gilmore + 10th grader Rains. Will be very competitive.
5. Barton: 16-8 last year not sure what's coming back but dropping classifications could be the surprise team of the new conference.
6. McCrory: 8-13 last season new coach I believe
7. Cross Co: 5-18 last season under first-year coach Tony Jones.
8. Kipp Delta: 5-18 in 2018.
9. Mariana Lee: 3-20 in 2018

I don't see PC finishing that high. I think they will struggle. Looking back at the few games I saw them play late in the season it looked like the Dawson kid scored or made 75% of their points possible. They will struggle on defense. The 6'10" kid was a threat everytime someone drove. They won't have that this year. They lost their best shooter. They will have a few younger guys step up, but I don't think it will be enough in this conference(this year). I see them finishing bottom half of the conference.

I could see Bearden and JC doing well but LC will be much improved. I heard they will run a full court run and jump which could cause trouble for some team because of the depth that they will have.

I think Woodlawn and HG could create problems for people. HG did lose 2 big time scorers and their big man but they played a lot of young guys. If you are right and they can pull a few from the football team they will make some noise. They have athletes everywhere on the football field. Woodlawn, as you said, lives and dies by the 3 and will beat some people they shouldn't but then lose to a team they should beat.

I think Young at Hampton will get the Bulldogs firing on all cylinders and they will also have a good run. With everyone coming back, I don't see how they couldn't upset a few teams and slide up a few spots.

CoachWhoever

PC is well coached. Langley always finds a way to get more out of his guys than he should. I expect them to be middle to upper parts of the conference. Their biggest challenge is going to be defensively. They weren't great defensively last year with the big man off the floor. They won't be the same offensively, but if they can figure out who they are on the other side of the ball, then they will be fine.

England Boys and Girls dominated this conference in the past, and will again.  I expect England Boys will win conference,  and Bigelow and England girls will battle for the top spot on the Girls side.
