Would like to see Riverview's girls vs Nashville's girls

[HighSchoolRecruiter]

I'm not a Star City fan, but they will win State. Noone can compete with them, they would beat most boys teams.

[razorsharp94]

Riverview is 30-0 and is the defending state champion.  Star City is probably their closest competitor though.

They're on a collision course, I would be interested to watch this game.

[sportsguy80]

They are very similar. SC has an edge on depth but Riverview star players may be a little bit more skilled.

[tacomeat]

I predict Riverview by 20 in all 3 of their games. This is just one of those teams that doesn't come around very often. They've only had 1 game all year where you were worried they might lose while watching them - at Beebe (who is good) they couldn't hit a shot for 3 qrts. They were up 13 in the 4th at Cabot (their only common opponent w/ Star City)& started stalling too early & let them tighten it up some, but were never in danger of losing in the second half. With every girl back from last year & the way they're playing they've gotta be the biggest favorite boys or girls in any class.

[Tarheel]

Riverview  is 35-0 and it wouldn't surprise me if they won by 20 in all of their games. The only team that has gotten within 10 was Beebe during Holiday tournament.

[Tarheel]

Also this doesn't mean a thing but Riverview  beat Star City last year in the quarter finals by 20+. I'm not sure how many seniors they lost but if they meet up I see the game close in the 1st half before Riverview pulls away big in the 3rd quarter.

[Bulldog92]

The Riverview/SC game would be a good one to see but I am more concerned about this first game!!  We are in the state tournament and the SC LadyDogs know you don't take any team for granted. The toughest game in the tournament is the one you are about to play!! 

[Bulldog92]

By the way Tacomeat they had one starter off of last years team that graduated last year, they return four starters. But those four starters are their guards and they are very good.

[WattsOzark]

Riverview  is 35-0 and it wouldn't surprise me if they won by 20 in all of their games. The only team that has gotten within 10 was Beebe during Holiday tournament.

Riverview has really played 35 games? 

[casper07]

I'm still trying to figure out why strongandsteady wants to see a Riverview/Nashville matchup???

[Bulldog92]

Riverview is 30-0

[tacomeat]

Riverview is 30-0

Maxpreps is incomplete doesn't list wins over Blytheville & Bryant at Beebe tournament or wins over Vilonia & Cabot at Cabot holiday tournament or win at district over ESTEM.

[PASS]

Maxpreps is incomplete doesn't list wins over Blytheville & Bryant at Beebe tournament or wins over Vilonia & Cabot at Cabot holiday tournament or win at district over ESTEM.

if Riverview is 35-0, then wouldn't they have broken AAA rules by playing too many games thus far.

[Tarheel]

If that's the case it's alot  of teams breaking rules then. I have never heard of such a thing. I could be wrong too. At this point last year at end of state they were 38-1.

[Bulldog92]

There is a maximum number of games that a team can play in the regular season. I believe they can play in three tournaments that count towards one of those games per tourny, no matter how many actual games are played in each tournament. The post season tourny doesn't count towards that number. So it can be done. I didn't realize that some of the games aren't on MaxPreps. 35-0 is a great achievement!!

All varsity basketball teams may also participate in two invitational tournaments. Non-football schools may add a third basketball tournament by excluding three regular season basketball games. Football schools may add a third basketball tournament by excluding two regular season basketball games.

[Bulldog92]

Thanks for straightning me out Jack1990, haha!!! I was close.

[Tarheel]

That's nice to know. Thanks for the insight.

[WattsOzark]

It's a rule, but there doesn't seem to be a punishment for breaking it.

[Uncle Tupelo]

Would like to see Riverview's girls vs Nashville's girls

Maybe next year.

[Billie Blue]

Nashville and Dollarway both lost the south not doing so well in girls either Star City and Monticello we going to have to get things rolling for the south

[WattsOzark]

How did Huntsville CAC girls turn out?

[MrSmith]

I've heard CAC won 42-31.

[hawgfan15]

Hopefully a change is in order for the Nashville girls program.

We can only hope

[Billie Blue]

Congratulations to coach Lucy Williams and the Monticello lady Billies on a great season making state again this will be her last year of many many years of coaching whoever is the coach next year will inherent a good team because we didn't have any seniors and so the whole team comes back next year and with the jr high team coming up being second in conference the future looks bright for girls basketball at Monticello if we can only get by our arch nemesis star city

[NEA Razorback olfan]

Anyone know much about the  Berryville girls ??

[WattsOzark]

They came on strong at the end of the year, and were playing at a very high level the last 2 weeks.

Coach Williams is retiring? This is what leaving Monticello for college does to me. I'm not in the loop.

[tacomeat]

Riverview v. CAC for the 5th time this season for the state title.

[strongandsteady]

Riverview girls are heading to state congrats

[Loverofthegame]

CAC was on no ones radar to get to the championship but you can't ever ignore the number 3 player in the nation. Congratulations CAC. 5th times a charm lol

[Eagle20]

Nice call being better than most boys teams.  CAC girl beat them basically by herself.

[Tarheel]

Riverview will win another title. Game will be close through the 1st half. Riverview pressure defense will put the game away in the 3rd quarter. Final score 64 to 48.
