[baseball2012]

Wow, that is sure gonna make it tough on everyone else next year. Congrats to Bald Knob on the state championship, Harding on a great season, and y'alls conference on being the toughest.

[Skip Baymore]

Congrats to the Lady Bulldogs on the state championship and a repeat!   B.K. clearly the best in 3A and prob. one of the state's best overall.  And congrats. to the Lady Wildcat's for a repeat runner-up and for bringing back another piece of hardware to a school who already had trophies and trophy cases that seemed to be spilling out into the hallways the last time I walked through them.  And I don't think its out of the question to predict that this same thing could possibly happen a 3rd year in a row in softball.  At least on paper.
