[STUNNA]

I thought nashville was supposed to be good?

[~WPS~]

Nope

Looks like in boys it was Malvern over Waldron 48-44.

Ballplayer 1, is Arkadelphia at Fountain Lake on the 16th, or is FL at Arkadelphia?

I checked and 1/16 is @ FL, 2/10 is @ Ark. It has been corrected. Thanks for catching that.

Thanks; I saw in paper listed as being at FL, but on here listed as being at Arkadelphia. Was thinking about going, but wanted to make sure I went to
the right gym/town.

Thanks! That girls score is a bit of a surprise

[500 hitter]

Mena was up by over 20 most of the game. Malvern got a little energy when the subs were in.

[~WPS~]

Big win for Mena. Interested to see how they do against Nashville and Ashdown the 2nd time around.

[think]

Anyone care to guess how the boys side is going to end up? Can't imagine a more competitive conference in the state this year.

[~WPS~]

I'll give a slight edge to Bauxite but it's going to be a log jam.

[500 hitter]

I have watched the Bauxite boys play a few times, I would say they are the front runners. It is a very even league, should be a photo finish.

[think]

Of the teams tied for first, it looks like Malvern has the best schedule the 2nd half and and Ashdown has the toughest. Some good matchups over the next 3 games though. You're right, should be a great finish.

[FootBallar21]

will Mena win a conference game ? on the boys side

[~WPS~]

It doesn't look like it. They might could beat Waldron but there is a huge gap between Mena and everyone else. Anything is possible in high school basketball though.

Girls

Nashville 37
Bauxite 28

[Scrapper14]

The conference is no doubt competitive but from what I have watched the top teams are not as good as last years with Arkadelphia Nashville and CAC but definitely more even teams I don't think these teams will make a run in the state tournament unless Madison from bauxite can carry the miners on a run

Ben Madison. Wow.

Ben Madison. Wow.

Kid can definitely play.

Madison is their best player but that team has a little bit more talent than meets the eye. They played without him here while back and almost beat Riverview which is the #2 team in 4A. Probably would have beat them with him

[Scrapper14]

The miners may have a chance but play definitely needs to pick up they barely slipped by a struggling Nashville team last night

[~WPS~]

Bauxite's lack of size will hurt them in the post season and their 3 point shooting will have to carry them like it did last night.

[centralarkansasbasketball]

I think saying their "play" needs to pick up is not a good assessment. Every game in their conference is tough, especially on the road. Watch and see, Nashville will beat some teams at home during the second round of conf. Yes, I agree, they are undersized and could be a problem.

[~WPS~]

Yes Nashville is getting much better. I wouldn't be surprised to see them have a winning record for the 2nd round of conference play.

[centralarkansasbasketball]

Yes I agree. Nashville maybe the biggest team in 4A. It is hard to score on them when they play the zone defense they play. It's going to be down to the wire to see how this conference plays out.

[think]

Nashville probably has the most overall size. I believe Warren, AB, and Monticello have solid players with height.

Bauxite is a very difficult team to judge. They have enough talent to compete with anyone in 4a and when they're on they will be very tough to beat. The key to their success will be taking care of the ball and rebounding but I'm sure that can be said for several teams.

As for Madison, I haven't seen every team in 4a but I doubt there is a better player. Having the ability to give the ball to someone that can create his own shot is something most teams don't have. If they keep games close, he will often be the determining factor in the outcome. Will be interesting to see how they close out the season.

Malvern and Arkadelphia both had big wins last night as well.

[centralarkansasbasketball]

Yes I agree. They are hard to judge. They have zero size but they are winning games. Also, from what I've seen and heard, they have different players that step up every game and their coach does a good job with them.

[l0l]

Not to mention sometimes it's just a bad matchup. Bauxite held the game around 10 for a large portion of it, then would allow turnovers. I'm not sure they ever lost the lead after it was 8-6. How long has #10 been back for Nashville? I think he had a broken hand?

[~WPS~]

He's been playing since the first of January. He's a good defensive player. Nashville just doesn't have any scorers other than Pettway. A couple of big men are starting to step up. With Hopkins this team could be pretty good.

Personally think their slow it down style will benefit them more than the up-tempo. Nashville probably has the most athletic team in the conference, depends on how much they turn the ball over though.

I agree. Nashville is getting better. I've seen noticeable improvement over just the last week. We couldn't score more than 30 in 4 straight games. In the last week we put up 60+ on Waldron, beat a good Blevins team, and hung with Bauxite.

[Scrapper14]

Pettway scores a lot but he shoots it about every possession because no one else can besides Hopkins who was by far the stud on the team

[l0l]

Bauxite wins 38-36 on a last second tip in from Ben Madison.

Shaping up to be an exciting finish in both boys and girls.

Big night in Nashville tomorrow. The new football coach gets introduced, Bret Bielema will be there (no he's not the new coach), and a couple of big games.
