Does Cutter play England?

[Lovesw96]

No not with the new conferences.

[Mr. Trill]

Is CMS schedule tough or easy? I'm curious, let me go see on maxpreps 🤔

They are not playing the Dogs schedule, I can promise you.

[Mr. Trill]

I see that their closet win was against Fountain Lake, in which, has a losing record (although that doesn't matter)

[Donnie Jamon]

I watched Sloan-Hendrix play in the NEA tourney.  They arent a #3 team in 2A.. They didn't look very good against ICC to me.  But EPC didnt look very good in that tourney either.

What girls teams should be in the top six that aren't and who doesn't belong?

[teachers pet]

True, but they also beat Fountain Lake by 15 a week earlier and by the way FL is a 4a school.

Hey Donnie. Sloan Hendrix will open the tournament with Marmaduke a team they lost to once and won at home against when a Marmaduke player got a technical for grabbing rim on a last second shot to win the game while it was tied. Could be interesting for the #1 seed from the other side.

[Donnie Jamon]

Yeah they don't want any of our side i can promise you that.  Not this year anyway..  They are a decent team.  Just not big enough.. 

[Mr. Trill]

The East is just better than the West. Always been that way.

[NEAscout100]

Sloan played 2 awful games against Marmaduke. Remember they were down 20 to riverside and come back and won. There not the best, but nothing to joke around about this year.

[Bildo]

I think there will be some surprise girls teams that are not on the radar. Some with injuries that are healing others with young teams that are getting better. I don't think it is a forgone conclusion that it will come down to the top 3 or 4 listed in the rankings.

[birddawg1986]

Marmaduke will be the only team out of district 2A 2 to make a run. They are good but as good as they have been in the past.

You never know... A lot of times it comes down to match ups. Teams that never play one another become a toss up in many cases...

I think your are right Birddawg. 2a-2 girls looks really weak to me. Plus the 2a-3 who they play in regional has Earle and Carlisle, who are both very good.

[redrider30]

Marmaduke's Jr. and Sr. high teams are a combined 52-7 right now. We might not be as good as 2015 but not many people have been or will be. I think we'll be alright this year and in the future but 27-7 after losing 3 senior starters not that bad and in his 7th season as Lady Greyhound Coach Rick Smith is at 248 wins and counting. With and undefeated 25-0 Jr. High team currently we are excited about the present and future. I have learned good and bad it is extremely hard to compare teams that haven't played but we'll see soon.

[Bildo]

I agree RedRider... its all about matchups.

[MomaLion]

Carlisle's Jr girls really impressed me so they will have several good years ahead as well.

[birddawg1986]

With the brackets only 12 teams you definitely  need to win your regional to get that bye. Im sure the other (2) district has some pretty goods teams in it but just don't know much about the district. Coach Smith is top 3 in 2A in girls coaching, and takes pride in his Jr high programs along with a very good youth program. I figure he will get an offer soon to step up in the 5A or up ranks. Too good of a coach to stay at Marmaduke.

He could have moved up to a bigger classification many times, I wouldn't anticipate him leaving for anything other than a administration job any time soon.

[redrider30]

Coach Smith has had offers from bigger schools, including one that I can assure you if he was going to leave he would have took it in a heart beat but when you have built a great program that has really good teams from 4th grade to Senior High and you are averaging 35+ wins a season why leave. This year has been his best job of coaching since he's been at Marmaduke and that's saying a lot with his past record. There are things in life more in important than $$$. I believe he feels that way. He is loyal to his Lady Greyhounds and will be until he decides to retire someday.

Not sure Pangburn is top six. Marmaduke beat them by 22 a couple of weeks ago. BIC beat them before Christmas and BIC is average at best IMO.

[Bildo]

Good info. I haven't seen anyone besides Carlisle

[JCWLADYREBELDAD]

Does anyone have this weeks rankings? Boys and girls.

[HoopKing]

Girls
1. Earle
2. Quitman
3. Carlisle
4. JC Westside
5. Marmaduke
6. Camden Harmony grove

Great to see the Lady Rebels back in there! Seems they really valued that road win at Scranton.

[Mr. Trill]

Top 2 of the boys still the same when I saw today

[redrider30]

If the Lady Greyhounds win by 30 again this week we'll probably drop out of the poll. LOL.
