Come on Eldofan. Nobody out of the 7 on the boy's side will advance. The 8 is loaded.

[Bosshog34]

Coachwhoever might be right that no one from the 7 will advance but no one from the South region has a chance at winning state.  This is the weakest the South region has been in years.  I look for only one team from this region to even win a game at state and even that might not happen.  The 8 is definitely better than the 7 but to say they are loaded just shows that he doesnt see how good some of the northern teams are compared to the south.  I think Gurdon and Dierks can be competitive with Junction and Parkers today but not sure either has the horses to hold up for 4 quarters against them.

You're right.  LC is the best team and they probably wouldn't make the state tournament if they were in that NE region

I've seen LC 3 x counting last night and I think they can make some noise in the state tournament . When u have a player averaging over 30 points a game anything is possible

[eldofan]

Come on Eldofan. Nobody out of the 7 on the boy's side will advance. The 8 is loaded.

The eight isn't loaded . It's LC then a drop in talent with Pc Jc and Hampton all having quality ball clubs but not enough to make a splash in the state tornament. Watch out for LC at state . They are solid!

[Bigpoppie]

I was reguarding the comments made about the north being so dominate and LC not even making it our of the Northeast Region. Just wondering why they thought so highly of that.  LC is very solid.  They get after you on defense and compliment each other very well.  Dedner had 20 in first game of regional which is an off night for him, but they still managed to put up 75.  I agree with you ELdo fan

[i40traveler]

Who out of Marked Tree, Earle, Clarendon, or EPC do you think LC can beat?

[old.dole]

Any of them if dedner is on

[notcoachBrown]

Who out of Marked Tree, Earle, Clarendon, or EPC do you think LC can beat?

none of them

[CoachWhoever]

BossHog, have you seen the 2A west region? Weaker than the 8 conference. Now when you say North region, you're only referring to NEA, in which nobody is arguing that Northeast Arkansas dominates in basketball.

[bleudog]

JC boys win their opening game in Regionals 59-57 and will advance to the State Tournament for the 10th consecutive year.

[bleudog]

Junction City Lady Dragons win their first round Regional game 55-52 and qualify for the State Tournament.

[MT Legend]

Who out of Marked Tree, Earle, Clarendon, or EPC do you think LC can beat?

What makes these teams untouchable?... LC can run with the North!...you will see!...you need the south to have a good showing at state to even the field!...I don't believe there is any one team that jumps off the page at you this season!...including MT anyone can be beat at anytime!...🤷🏽‍♂️

[notcoachBrown]

Final?

[THA TRUTH]

But yet JC beat LC.....

[eldofan]

Yeah but LC is playing at another level now . Should be a good game between them and jc tomorrow

[Bosshog34]

Honestly was shocked to see that Dierks boys gave Junction City boys a game like they ddI. Did Junction just have an off game or was Dierks a little better than expected? I have tried to go back and watch the replay from the link above and it won't show me the game. Can someone who watched it give me a break down of how the game went? Only updates I got was JC up big at half and then next one said JC by 2

[THA TRUTH]

JC played to the level of competition

Dierks had a bad first half.  JC came out hitting their shots.  It was a good game.  If they play 10 times, it would be 5-5 IMO

Jc coach played two groups instead of putting his best players together just so they would be fresh against LC...... he knew he had some wiggle room to mess around some and that's the only reason the game was close

[i40traveler]

JC would beat Dierks 10 out of 10 times. 

[Bosshog34]

Anyone that believes a coach is trying to save legs in a regional tournament game is not smart. I'm watching the live stream from tonight's game against Lafayette and junction has already played the same amount of players that they did against dierks. So I guess the coach is saving their legs for the finals

[bleudog]

[bleudog]

LC up 50-48 with 4:33 left

[bleudog]

JC up 57-52 with 2:06 left

[bleudog]

JC up 61-58 with 28 seconds left

[bleudog]

JC up 62-60 with 11.9 left

[bleudog]

JC up 64-60 with 10.3 left

[eldofan]

Congrats Jc . U guys beat a good LC squad .

[bleudog]

JC - 64
LC - 60

Boys FINAL

Well I mean when u know u are far more superior u can do those things.....

We beat a good LC team twice this year and they beat us twice. Just saying
