Please post all 2A scores for the week of 4-4 thru 4-9 here on this thread.  Thank You!

  I believe that Rison deserves to be in there.

[RedWolf275]

I think BIC can safely be dropped from top ten. According to Jonesboro Sun their record is 2-9.

[BLUEBLOOD]

According to Maxpreps

IN TOP 10???
Junction City is 2-8
BIC is 2-10

NOT IN TOP 10???
Woodlawn is 10-1
Rison is 9-0

Maybe the competition played isn't equitable at this point in the season, but this list is definitely worthy of some criticism.

[Runfastturnleft]

Rison is pretty darn good.

According to Maxpreps

I understand that.  If I were a fan of Rison or Woodlawn, I would make my own and include my team.

Woodlawn and Rison square off this Thursday.

Obviously they don't have any fans on this site. If fans don't post scores and records for their teams then nobody knows and they get left out until it becomes clear in the end. Our stuff don't matter to anyone but us.

I agree, but MaxPreps is pretty easy to follow.  If I were making a top 10 (which I'm not) I would consult all resources to try to preserve my credibility.  All opinions, that's why we have the message boards.

[gamechanger11]

Agree with some of the comments but Rison is not 9-0. Viola I know beat them in a tournament at Heber Springs last month.

True; and I'm not going to make a list, but I'm glade someone is brave enough to put something out there. If not then this board would be very quiet. As it is I have something to read in the morning.

[BLUEBLOOD]

Here is my top 10 (no particular order) according to games reported on MaxPreps.com; no teams included with less than 10 reported scores

Woodlawn (12-1)
Rison (11-2)
McCrory (11-2)
Pangburn (15-4)
Walnut Ridge (13-4)
Tuckerman (11-4)
Hackett (8-3)
Magnet Cove (8-4)
Parkers Chapel (8-5)
Hazen (7-5)

***apologies to Springhill (only reporting 4 scores) and Foreman (played some very good teams already so the winning % didn't rank over these)***
I doubt anyone on this list is hoping to draw SH or Foreman in first round of regionals or state tournament

[LowerAR]

This is awesome. I wish someone would do this in 6A, but I do know that like 2 of Parkers Chapel loses came by way of 6A El Dorado in the Cat Classic, so I figure this will probably change some. Still I like this.

It would be much better if ALL scores were reported but I'm working with what I got.  And you are right, there are some losses by some of these teams that have been from far larger schools.  "Good" losses and "Bad" losses......not all losses are the same.

[NEASPORTSFAN]

Pangburn 3 Midland 2. Great game. Lots of defense. Floyd pitched well for midland. Parrott pitched well for pangburn. Reeves 2 run bomb for midland. 

[BoxNOne]

Pretty sure Marmaduke would be in this poll if they had played enough games.

[BLUEBLOOD]

Pretty sure Marmaduke would be in this poll if they had played enough games.

Yes they would but I can't figure how teams have played any less than 10 games at this point in the season.  So I just figured they are not reporting (maybe they have some losses they don't want anyone to know about!!    )

[BoxNOne]

Last record I saw on Marmaduke reported in the Jonesboro Sun was 8-0 I believe.

Congrats Lady Tigers on winning the tourney! Pangburn improves to 20-4 on the season.

[RedWolf275]

Is Pangburn the best team in 2A-2?

[NEASPORTSFAN]

It's pretty balanced between tuckerman, pangburn, salem, and walnut. Midland not bad either. The 2a-2 is pretty good this year. I think winning 3 out of 4  is probable at regionals this year. Marmaduke is the clear favorite out of the 2a-3.

[RedWolf275]

I agree on the 3 out of 4 at regional.

Walnut Ridge 16 Riverside 1     

Walnut Ridge has a very solid team. Pitcher is solid but not dominating but their top 7 bitters are big thick girls who can flat out swing the bats. They will be a tough out in post season.
