[Head Lion]

Wednesday predictions My View, Osceola, Riverside, Hoxie

[BoxNOne]

I think that Valley-Riverside girls game will be a good one.

I also don't see Bergman beating the Osceola girls.

[Hitman Warrior23]

No  way Bergman beats Osceola!! I mean really?

Bergman has a nice resume including a win over Bald Knob.   Just going off of resumes. Haven't seen neither one of them play.

[zebra73]

Bergman coach was at Osceola. He is a good coach and knows how to win. Would be a big upset

Not trying to argue.  But how would it be an upset?

[Missco]

Osceola should win as well as Riverside . All boys teams will win from east except maybe Rivercrest

[501Arkansas]

Not trying to argue.  But how would it be an upset?

Maybe because osceola is the top team in 3A but I don't see osceola losing nomore this year these kids are balling

[drybones]

Osceola should win as well as Riverside . All boys teams will win from east except maybe Rivercrest

And except for maybe Manila and maybe riverside. And who knows, maybe even Osceola. This time of year anything can happen.

[RedWolf275]

Osceola should win as well as Riverside . All boys teams will win from east except maybe Rivercrest

This looks about right to me.

Oh ok!

Boys
Wednesday 5:30 Riverside vs Yellville
                8:30 Osceola vs Clinton
Thursday    5:30 Rivercrest vs Marshall
                8:30 Manila vs Valley Springs

Girls
Wednesday 4:00 Corning vs Mountain View
                7:00 Osceola vs Bergman
Thursday    4:00 Riverside vs Valley Springs
                7:00 Hoxie vs Clinton 

My predictions:

Boys
Riverside over Y-S.  This is usually the time of year that Coach Campbell's teams play for.  Not District, but Regional and State Tournaments and with them playing at home, I see the "upset".
Osceola over Clinton.  Don't know that much about the Yellowjackets but I have seen the Noles play this year in some great games. 
Marshall over Rivercrest.  I've seen Rivercrest a couple of times this year and they continue to get better, but I'm going with the Bobcats in this one.
Manila over Valley Springs.  This will be a heck of a game in my opinion.  Both teams have had an up and down season.  I'm picking the Lions since they will be closer to home, if this was played in North Central Arkansas, I would probably pick the Tigers.

Girls
Mountain View over Corning.  I may be wrong on this one, but I just have a feeling about that the Lady Yellowjackets will win.
Bergman over Osceola.  I haven't seen either team, just going off of my gut on this one. 
Valley over Riverside.  Again, best game in this round.  It's a shame that one of these two teams will not advance to the State tournament, both deserve to.  I'm going with the defending State champs just off of recent experience in post season play.
Hoxie over Clinton.  Coin toss for me after looking at their resume going in.  Going with this is Clinton's first trip to this regional. 

[RedWolf275]

Bluegrass, as Clint Eastwood said in "Unforgiven", deserve has got nothing to do with it! Valley Springs and Riverside girls have played their way into this matchup. Riverside should win it at home.

RedWolf275,

True on the quote.  And "should" is such a huge word in that last sentence.  Two great coaches, but will work the officials.  My gut still tells me to go with the Lady Tigers.  I have been wrong before...LOL

[NeaBaller21]

Riverside Boys:  5 Senior Starters that aren't ready to make this next game their last and playing in their home Gym? All behind Buster Campbell. Definitely going to be tough to beat!

And I've called some Regional games for Coach Campbell's teams where they came in as the 4th seed and won the first round before.  His teams seem to step up to the challenge of win or go home first round matchups.

[BigMan15]

Im going with

Yellville over Riverside
Clinton over Osceola
Rivercrest over Marshall
Manila over Valley Springs

[Rebelfan77]

Im going with

Yellville over Riverside
Clinton over Osceola
Rivercrest over Marshall
Manila over Valley Springs

How many of these teams have you seen play?

[BigMan15]

4

[OB11]

Im going with

Yellville over Riverside
Clinton over Osceola
Rivercrest over Marshall
Manila over Valley Springs

They'll have to rename Lake City if these pan out to Upset City

[Rebelfan77]

4

and Im sure it is not Riverside, Osceola, Rivercrest or Manila correct? I dont see how you can predict who is going to win if you haven't seen all of them play. I am by no means saying that you are wrong or right but why put a prediction out there if you honestly don't have a clue how all the teams play?

[BigMan15]

I follow these teams all year! Everyone is allowed to post predictions. Come on now! Actually yes ive seen Manila, Osceola, Riverside, Valley and Clinton!

[Rebelfan77]

Well hopefully you aren't very good at predictions. Seems that at Regional is where Riverside starts coming together and playing ball. Buster seems to always have them ready! the Cinton over Osceola really blows my mind though!

[BigMan15]

I see them overlooking this game which could be big trouble for Osceola!

[NeaBaller21]

Osceola is by all means beatable! Riverside beat them at their house. Anything is possible.  Still have to play all 32 minutes!

[BigMan15]

Exactly right!! This time of the year crazy things happen!! Im not saying they are bad teams, by all means I think they are both top ten or even top 5 teams, but sometimes thats not a good thing to have a target on your back!

[Head Lion]

I will be at the game and book all the Clinton bets vs Osceola, I mean ALL OF THEM.

[RedWolf275]

RedWolf275,

I could challenge that "two great coaches" quote but I'll let it go due not wanting to get deleted lol!! But you are throwing that " great" word around loosely here.

[NeaBaller21]

I agree that word does need to be used rather lightly lol

Come on HL, let me have half! Sure things don't come along very often!!

[bluegrassboy75]

I have worked games for both Coach Hoffman and Coach Jenkins.  That is what I based my wording on, but I do understand your point.

[Head Lion]

Guess I will give everyone something to talk about and give my prediction for the whole tournament. Boys 1. Manila 2. Riverside 3. Osceola 4. Marshall Girls 1. Hoxie 2. Osceola 3. Riverside 4. Mt. View Just how I think or hope it may shake out.

Looks more like hope.

Yellville over Riverside
Clinton over Osceola
Rivercrest over Marshall
Manila over Valley Springs

1. Manila
2. Yellville
3. Rivercrest
4. Clinton

[Rebelfan77]

Thought you said you followed these teams all year?

[Head Lion]

Looks more like hope.

No, I hope yall win, that game to me could go either way. I see ways the Colts will win and see ways Marshall could win.

[luxora4life]

No, I hope yall win, that game to me could go either way. I see ways the Colts will win and see ways Marshall could win.

Actually, I was referring to Manila Boys finishing 1st and Mt. View Girls finishing 4th.  Who knows when it come to Rivercrest.  They have been playing hard lately, but some players head and heart are just not where the team need it to be.

[Head Lion]

No one thought we would win the Region in 13 & 15 & we found a way. It is a odd year, so Lions take it.

[BigMan15]

The thing with Manilla even if they don't win the region they can compete with anyone in the state. They are well coached and very disciplined.

[zebra73]

Win or lose. All teams have worked hard to get here. Picks are chosen. Know some people are bias to there school. Goals are 10' and the floor is 94' everywhere. Toss the ball and go from there. Good luck to all the teams.🏀

Who's your pick to win it all in 3A?

[zebra73]

Who cares? Have a bet on the games? You know how a kid feels when they see someone say they are going to lose? Let the kids enjoy their time.

[Radiotalker]

Osceola is by all means beatable! Riverside beat them at their house. Anything is possible.  Still have to play all 32 minutes!

Same for Riverside.......7 win Rivercrest beat them.

Fearless Friday not really designed for kids. People like to talk about and predict outcomes.

[Radiotalker]

They may lose, but Frankie's squad will not overlook anyone. Remember Mountain View & Cedar Ridge?

[BoxNOne]

I don't think Osceola will have much trouble with Clinton.

94 feet everywhere in college but not high school

[zebra73]

Stand corrected. Redwolf,kids do get on here and read things. JMO
