How are the Bison and Lady Bison basketball teams going to be?
I think with the conference re-alignment that the boys will be able to compete in more games and improve throughout the year.
The girls will be in a much tougher conference. This will make them be more battle tested come post season

I'm not sure how battle tested they will be. I really don't see anyone beating them in their new conference.
Don't count out Bigelow, England or Poyen...especially at home. Don't get me wrong... I think they should take care of business but anything can happen. And with the District Tournament being hosted by the highest bidder is HUGE!
I heard that Bigelow has a really good young team! Successful in junior high but does it translate to high school.

Most of the time it does! They moved some up last year and made state with them so it won't be any sunrise to them!
Bigelow will be solid for the next few years, and they are really tough at home with the gym they are in.
Exactly my point.... home court advantage is huge in any sport or level. Can't take anyone for granted. Bigelow girls are up and coming.... Carlisle will be solid, as always.
This will be the toughest Conference Carlisle ever played in. The boys should be okay, but I do not expect them to compete for conference, but the girls will have to step it up if they expect to compete. Bigelow will be the pre-season number one. Poyen would have been number two, but I hear they lost a couple of their top players to transfer, but Coach Schafer will have them ready to go. England returns everyone and will be ready to compete for the conference title and beyond. Carlisle has a good team returning, but have a lot to replace with the lose of Warren. Having Ricks back is a plus, but unless they have some
of the younger girls step up, it could get tough season. Magnet Cove and Cutter always play hard, but don't know what they have returning. I do not know much about Hazen or Maumelle Charter.

Hazen was not good last season.

I know Poyen lost the Hicks girls to LRCA, but who else transfered? England boys and girls should both make a strong push to win the conference I would imagine. I don't think Bigelow will be physical enough to take them out.

England Boys and Girls will be in the mix. I still think based on what everyone has coming back on the girls side, Bigelow will be the team to beat.
It will be interesting to see how this league shakes out! Only a few short months away from tip offs.

Hazen was not good last season.
From the looks of it cutter was not great and magnet looked to have been worse on MaxPreps.
Magnet Cove will not be good since the Anderson kid transferred to Southwest Christian Academy.
The girls side of the conference will come down to who can win on the road. Gonna be a three horse race (England, Bigelow and Carlisle) if Poyen lost some players. England doesn't lose anyone, Bigelow is young but went to the State Tournament last year and Carlisle who lost a couple players bring back a lot.
I think Poyen is still going to be pretty tough, even with the loss of the hicks girl. They will definitely be tough at home and senior heavy.

This is the group at Poyen that they were waiting to be Sr"s. They were dominate I starting in the 7th grade. I look forward to seeing Poyens new gym.
Carlisle's boys will never be good if they keep Horn on as the head coach, that guy is just a sweater vest on a log and can't control those kids. Should've given the job to Johnson this summer when Horn tried to walk, instead they let Johnson walk to Midland and get a good job there.

Comments like these are EXACTLY why you shouldn't open your mouth about things you know nothing about. Horn is now the Superintendent (and a fine one at that) and was NEVER the head coach. Johnson is a great young man and coach and would've been great to keep him. Slatton is the head boys coach and is also a great coach. Speak on things you know and button it up on things you don't.

Bildo you're right this is the same guy that says coach from Lighthouse preaches discipline!
Where's the new coach from? Hopefully my Brinkley Tigas are on the schedule!
Same head coaches as last year. We had an assistant go to Midland for a head coaching opportunity
Oh and how many games did Slatton or whatever his name is win last year? Pretty sure Carlisle finished last in conference as well.... those boys don't respond to him or respect him. Can't blame him too much since he didn't know who he really had on a daily basis, since his boys were constantly in trouble or so I heard from a credible Carlisle source
What's your problem with slatton? I'm guessing you are from Mccrory and you guys aren't much better at basketball.
They won 6 games I believe

So our Coaches are terrible and our kids stay in trouble?! Your credible source is just one opinion. I am sure I can find "sources" from your fan base that will same the same about your program. You can't even get the names of our Coaches straight and you want me to acknowledge your credibility?! Laughable... Our basketball program and kids are doing just fine.
Was there not an opening for Johnson at Carlisle? Not trying to stir the pot or anything, but I just heard Carlisle basically just let him walk and didn't offer him anything. Seemed a little strange to me, but I do not know the whole story.
Neither head coach was leaving so there wasn't an opening as ahead coach other than maybe as the head baseball coach.

I know for a fact there was a boys head basketball job at carlisle because it was advertised.
I'm pretty sure it was advertised the last two years. I know it was the year before last for sure.
The boys job was advertised during the summer. He didn't end up leaving but that is beside the point. Johnson had the Midland job before school was out so there was no opening at the time. Slatton didn't try to leave until the summer.

Not sure about Magnet Cove this year, but CMS girls started 4 sophomores last year. They will be much stronger this year. Shaffer will have Poyen ready to play. They were good last year...look for them to be stronger this year. Both of these teams will be in the mix. Maumelle Charter won't be in the conversation with girls. They couldn't compete last year.
As for boys, Poyen, Magnet Cove & CMS all had young teams. Magnet graduated 3 seniors. Not sure exact numbers for Poyen. CMS started 3 sophomores last year and a junior who didn't see much court time the year before with the 2017-18 team filled with seniors who made it to final 4. CMS will be the team to beat coming in from the south side of the conference. Maumelle Charter is also a solid team and well coached. They will be ready.
With all that being said, I haven't kept up with the north side of the conference as closely, but I expect this to be a tough conference.
Don't know how good Maumelle Charter will really be, they graduated 5 seniors I believe? Which was most of their starting lineup. Great Coach though

Easy to rebuild Charter School programs. They don't have to play by the same transfer rules.
I agree Cheek... kinda puts the rest of the public schools at a disadvantage in many sports. In our "small town world", we somewhat "forecast" the success of our programs by looking what we have and what is a few grades behind. The occasional move-in sometimes plays a factor, but for the most part.... you play with the hand your dealt.

I believe so HF...

He found out they play by different rules, but in a bad way. If a player transfers back to his home district, he will become eligible. Charter school don't get to abide by this rule. He would've had to sit out a full year at Lighthouse.

This is a unique situation. Doahes tried to play at NLR by reporting a false address. When this was discovered, he tried to go back to alight house but the AAA said no, so he had to go to J-Ville. Kids do not have to sit out going from Public to Charter.
Charter schools have kinda hijacked this thread

Okay, back to Carlisle Basketball.
Nobody seems to have anything positive to say about Carlisle basketball. Im the girls are practicing hard and the boys are mostly in football right now. I'm interested in how they respond with Kylie Warren being gone. Will the players left rise to the occasion? England has been playing in the same weak conference the last two years. Carlisle has been first and England second in Senior high while England had been first and carlisle second in Jr high. I think Bigelow is the favorite and poyen is in the mix as well. I think any of the four teams could beat each other.

No one has had any negative thing to say about Carlisle girls either. Carlisle girls have had a very good program the past few years. I really thought Carlisle had a special team the past two years, and with the a little luck, could have won a state title. The only problem is Earle and Quitman also has equally talented teams, and won when they needed to. Carlisle will have a good team this year, but the loss of Warren will be tough. I am aware that Ricks is an outstanding player, but the past few years, she scored a lot of points because everyone was trying to stop Warren.
Besides Ricks and Bolin, who are the returning starters?

That seems to be a very fair assessment of Carlisle and Ricks. The big question will be how good will she be while being the main focus of the other team.
Kiara Miller number 35 is the other returning starter.
11 days for season opener!!
The Lady Bison lost 2 starters from last year's squad. They should be able to compete at a high level.
Carlisle 49
Brinkley 33
Is this boys or girls?
It was just girls. Jr girls won by about 20 and senior girls won by 16
Good win for the Lady Bison against a solid Brinkley team
I'm not sure if our girls will play Brinkley or not...their schedule still has the game listed on Max Preps but the boys game is gone...after the brawl, our admin won't let us play them.
I wish every school would follow that lead when going to Marvell. There would be very few schools that Didn't have some sort of altercation there
Unfortunately both Brinkley and Marvell have been in our District so we had no choice but to play. Even after the all out brawl during the girls game in Marvell a few years back we still had to play the boys game because it was mandatory. Needless to see we now bring lots of extra security when we play in Marvell. Now however, they are both 1A so we don't have to play.
So I guess we just fight all the time, huh. 🙄
Well when you have an all out brawl to that degree I can certainly understand keeping them separated when possible. I was there and saw it all, it was terrible.
Do you happen to know if our girls will still play?
Honestly, I really don't know. From what I heard, it's still on
It's now completely off the schedule so no games.
Ok then. Thanks for informing me. Who do y'all have next then?
We're gonna whip on 4a dewitt friday jbtiger it's @ Clarendon lions by 20
Yes, we have DeWitt at home Friday night.
Carlisle girls beat Lonoke 46-36
Carlisle lost a close game to Bigelow last night in OT. Carlisle's downfall was FTs. They missed 12 in regulation, I believe. If they hit a few more of those, it's not even close to going to OT. Bigelow is the best team in the conference.
As far as the Lady Bison themselves, they return 3 starters. 22 DeShaye Ricks, 3. Heather Bowlan and 35. Kiara Miller. Two new starters are 40. Shea Alberson and 12. Shelby Hancock, who played quite a bit as a freshman last year and has really developed her game. One senior who isn't playing right now is Morgan Brazeal, who has been battling illness the last month. But when she gets her strength back, she'll contribute big time. Several key reserves seeing big minutes are Taylor Cullum and Leigh Ann Wolfe.
The conference is so much tougher than the previous one ... no doubt about it. And it will make them better as the season goes along. 4-1 five games into the season isn't bad.

and Jag Hog, I have no idea what you are talking about. Horn is the sup's name. Coach Slatton is a great coach. He's won a lot of games in both Arkansas and Texas. Just look him up. The boys are playing hard. They fought back from 12 down against Bigelow to force OT. Very proud of them.
Carlisle High School was awarded the Senior High District Basketball & 7th Grade District Basketball Tournaments today at our conference meeting.
Also, were awarded the Baseball/Softball District Tournaments as well.
On the girls side, I saw in the Demozette England beat Carlisle last night, putting CHS at 10-5 for the year. Is that in line with expectations?

I think the conference is a lot tougher than they were accustomed too. Carlisle has a good team but has lost the close games. Carlisle only has five competitive game left until the district tournament. England and Magnet Cove can go either way. I expect they will lose at Bigelow. Poyen has a solid team this year, but do not know how they will match up against Carlisle. Carlisle has a shot at the two seed, but I expect they will be fighting for the 3 or 4 seed.
