I think he was saying the top teams of this year after the season

[-Painted Fan-]

Cedar Ridge will take Earle's spot in that Top 10.

[bootlegger]

Does anyone know who will take earles place in the 3a 3 conference?

[bulldog42]

Does anyone know who will take earles place in the 3a 3 conference?

No one the 3a 3 goes from 8 to 6 teams.    Earle is going down and Harrisburg is moving up

[Bearcatparent]

3A 3 next year will be as follows according to the AAA website.

Corning
Hoxie
Manila
Osceola
Piggott
Rivercrest

[-Painted Fan-]

Where does Cedar Ridge go?

[bobcats]

Where does Cedar Ridge go?

3A 2 with Harding.

[cowboy2241]

Melbourne will be taking Earle's spot in 3-3a next season

[bobcats]

Melbourne will be taking Earle's spot in 3-3a next season

I think that is for football but basketball they are still in the 3A-1E.

[jr17]

Mayflower returns all starters but lose the only 2 players that came off the bench all year. One sophomore (junior next year) has decent potential.

[jr17]

Mayflower gets another talented player transfer from Conway. Will be a senior.

Were the Goosenberry twins seniors at ECS?

[bulldog42]

Were the Goosenberry twins seniors at ECS?

the Gooseberry twins are both JR's

[jr17]

Thank you.

[cdelaney]

Were the Goosenberry twins seniors at ECS?

the Gooseberry twins are both JR's

ECS loses Pollock and two other seniors who played sparingly.

[Old Man River]

How did Flippin get in on this list? TOTALLY not trying to be a hater I have a lot of respect for coach Hargrove, I just don't see them being at that level. Not saying I wouldn't like to see it though...

[bdog32]

Just saw on another thread where they are one of favorites in that conference and know will be well coached.  What doe Osceola have

[jr17]

Have a heard the rumor that Jerry Perry from Mayflower is moving to Texas. Hope that isn't true.

[ATU]

Not sure if Charleston is top 5 they lose Shelby,Storey and i'm hearing that the SO. player Fenner moved to Paris.

[WPWells]

That's all correct, but they'll still have the best player in the state (no offense to any of the ECS players, but I feel like Ward showed that he is the best player in the 3A)

[Eagle20]

It is a lot easier to stop one when the talent around you is diminished.  Why did the kid move to Paris?

[WPWells]

Andrew Smith will still be there

[cdelaney]

That's all correct, but they'll still have the best player in the state (no offense to any of the ECS players, but I feel like Ward showed that he is the best player in the 3A)

You know I have to disagree. Ward is very good player, may be stronger offensively, but Martin is best overall player in 3A.
Still would rank Charleston right up there with ECS for next year.

[WPWells]

I knew you would disagree, and I completely agree that Martin is #2

[akbballer]

Yes, Chance and Ty will be missed but sophomore's move to Paris will not make bit of difference. I am not even sure that kid will be even eligible to play because of his academic performance. That was an issue when he was in Charleston.

[akbballer]

Who is Martin?

Who is Martin?

Mahlon Martin, ECS point guard and floor leader. Was MVP of State Tourney.

[akbballer]

He might have received MVP because his team won but I don't think he is overall best player. I am sure Martin is pretty good.

[cdelaney]

He might have received MVP because his team won but I don't think he is overall best player. I am sure Martin is pretty good.

I am sure Ward would have been MVP if Charleston had won. I have seen Ward play several games now and he is very good. As far as pure one on one offensive player, he may be slightly ahead of Martin, but Martin has never had to carry the entire offensive load for his team. He could score more if needed. But when a basket is needed at a crucial time, he makes it. I think he got his 21 pts in final game on 8 FG attempts. Also a very strong floor leader, keeps the team on an even keel, good defender. If I had to choose one player to start my team, it would be Martin.

[jr17]

Martin was always the guy to take the big shot for ECS. Martin seemed to be the overall better athlete. I have to give the nod to martin. Mainly because his team won the head to head. Ward is an amazing player with awesome god given ability.

[BigLion10]

Robinson from ecs is a stud as well

[chuckBB]

I have to say Episcopal is loaded. I am looking forward to see my Charleston boys make it to the state play each other again.

[neds]

I have to say Episcopal is loaded. I am looking forward to see my Charleston boys make it to the state play each other again.

I don't think that will happen

[BigMan15]

1. Ecs.                                                                                                 
2. BHG
3. McGhee
4. Charleston
5. Mayflower
6. Paris
7. Lamar
8. West Fork
9. Harding Academy
10. Cedar Ridge

[WPWells]

BHG?

[BigMan15]

Benton harmony grove
I think their point will be really good this year also a 6"9 forward

[BigMan15]

After ecs the whole 3a is down think about it charleston loses 3 out of the seven that played last year with nothing coming up. Mayflower loses perry bhg loses their big man earle is gone Lamar lost some and didn't gain anything Danville will be about the same. McGhee could surprise some and maybe rivercrest and I think Paris could surprise some they didn't lose much but had a move in from charleston and their junior high was really good last year so this year after ecs the race for the rest should be fun to watch

[Eagle20]

BHG big man went to Benton with the coach who moved there.  Their 6'5" guard is talented though.

[BigMan15]

Still they have good team around them and that pg is gonna be one of the top players in the 3a

[Eagle20]

Cedar Ridge moves to 3A, they will be tough!

[ATU]

But now i'm hearing Charleston might have a new player or 2.

[North Face]

BHG will also be well coached. Coach Hogue had success at Arkansas Baptist and I look for that to continue at BHG.

[North Face]

Who does Cedar Ridge return from last year? I know Reeves graduated.

[neds]

But now i'm hearing Charleston might have a new player or 2.

Of course they do

[WPWells]

You say that as if we didn't just have a kid move to Paris. A kid that was projected to be a starter this year

[BigMan15]

even with move in after this year charleston basketball will be down for a few years also ive heard that coach ross will take the elementary school princapal job after this year.

[North Face]

Which kid is going to Paris?
