The previous top ten teams conversation went off in a wild direction so I want to try and bring it back to the topic at hand. Here is my rating for the top five boy's!
Marked Tree @ 16-0
Mountain Pine @ 16-3
Parkers Chapel @ 16-3
Clarendon @ 14-2
Bearden @ 13-3
I'd switch Clarendon and mt pine but that looks good to me
You could actually mix my #2,3,and 4 picks in any order. They are all three pretty close with marked Tree being the team to beat at this moment

Has anyone seen or heard anything about Bearden?
Pc beat them early in the season . Did not make the Game.
Bearden is 13-3 I think... they beat Strong and Harmony Grove last week by around 4 points each.

When have you seen either of them play. And as for Bearden and P. C. first game Bearden had only been playing basketball one week we playing a lot different now

I follow Pc and I have a hard time ranking them top 5. Earles schedule has been much stronger than Pc.
Pc has 3 losses. All three were without their 6'9" center. And none have been by double digits. 2 of those losses were to 4a schools and the other was one day after losing their big man. One could make the argument they would be undefeated had it not been for the injury. Bearden lost one player from their team a year ago and they were a top 5 team then and they are again now. Both of these teams are very deserving of where they are ranked
Kinda seems like people don't think the 2a-7 east can contend for state. Both these teams are solid teams and have held their own! Also keep in mind that along with their 6' 9" center they hav a guard averaging around 18 points per game. Don't count those boys out just yet.

Kinda hard to rank W.C.C. ahead of Earle, since Earle took 7 players (didnt even bring their big man, and sent another team to a tournament in memphis the same night) into W.C.C., and beat them by about 10. Earle is definitely top 5.
I'm going to try a little different format--
Tier 1:
Marked Tree
Tier 2:
Clarendon, Earle, Mountain Pine
Tier 3:
Jacksonville Lighthouse, White County
Tier 4:
Quitman, EPC
Tier 5:
Bearden, Parkers Chapel, Blevins, England

Earle' still searching...Got ALL the talent but just hasn't clicked yet. Be a good measuring stick tonight as the bulldogs travel to EPC.
Not gonna be much of a game there I'm afraid. We have our moments but I'd take Earle fairly easy
Earle 36, EPC 32
HALF
Earle 51
EPC 40
END 3
Is this all the players or is this a partial squad NEA
Earle only has 1 senior on the team. Murray will figure it out come tournament time. He's been playing since Dec. without his 6-6 wing who had injury to his non shooting hand. He will return before the district tournament. Earle will be ready and got a load of talent coming up

He suspended a couple for lack of effort and no discipline. His point guard and the 6-4 post player that's a soph. How many did he bring dub
13 here. Just expected a little more experienced team
There is one in a cast as well. Closer than what I thought. 3rd quarter cost us but we were in it at the end
He only has 1 senior. We are very young. Bohannon leaving for Baylor hurt us because there was no one in 2 A that could have guarded him in the post. But we all understand that was best for him. We will be alright but the next few years Earle will be loaded
Well I was expecting this year to be pretty good because of those freshman that came up.

This is full squad minus our forward Keon Smith, who is out with a broken wrist suffered during the Lendel Thomas Classic..talked to him tonight at the game and he told me himself that he could be ready around conference tournament time.
Did Thomas and Logan dress out
My latest state rankings
Marked Tree
Clarendon
Parkers Chapel
Mountain Pine
Bearden
I still think Earle belongs in there
I have Earle at 6. Actually a toss up between them and Bearden for me.
PC, mountain Pime or Bearden have zero chance to beat Earle.
Hopefully they will get the opportunity to find out!
Mountain pine is very good. They are long and very athletic, in my opinion they just miss a true true shooter or else they would be a favorite to win it all. I only seen them play Foreman but Foreman is no slouch and should be able to make the state tournament.

The 2A North Regional in Marked Tree will be a mini state tournament (Marked Tree, Clarendon, Earle, EPC, Cotter)
1. Marked Tree
2. Clarendon
3. Bearden
4. Mt Pine
5. Earle
6. Blevins
7. Lavaca/Parkers Chapel
If Lavaca is in this conversation, then WCC has got to be in this conversation. No knock on Lavaca, they have 2 really good players, but WCC has a really good TEAM
From the current info in my system.. chance to win state. Thought it might be interesting to share!
Marked Tree 29.5%
Clarendon 13.1%
White County Central 11.8%
Earle 8.5%
Mountain Pine 8.4%
8.5 percent for the B2B State Champs.....

There will definitely be some great games with so many state contenders.

Im a Lavaca fan, but I don't really think they belong in this conversation. A solid team, yes, but not a state title contender. They got routed by 32 points by 1A County Line (granted, CL is one of the top teams in 1A so far this season, but still, a 32 point loss to a smaller school), and have two losses to mediocre 2A and 3A teams (Eureka Springs and Paris).

I think they are good and I think they are well coached with Coach Reed, but I saw them in Regionals and State last year and I know exactly what they have back. I am not knocking them at all, I just see a lot better teams on this side of the state. I saw where CL had beat them pretty good, but I know they are very good also.

If you are going to put PC and Bearden in tier 5 you obviously haven't seen either team play.
Either one could easily win the state title.

Sure they could, they're both really good teams. I wouldn't say "easily" though. Even if you think they're not in that 5th tier, they're not on the same level as someone like Marked Tree or Clarendon.
Sorry to offend by saying that your team is one of the 10-12 best in the state haha.

I watched MT-Bearden last year in the state tournament. They are a really athletic bunch of kids who can play. They just need the old coach to sit down and let them play. I thought last year they took way to many 3pt shots when they look better attacking the basket. Have not seen PC but here they will be a hard out also. As many as 8 schools can win the boys 2A this year. Regional should kinda of maybe separate some of our thoughts but we will just have to wait and see.
Earle can be taken out of tier 2, they have been beaten twice at home in the last week by "tier 3 and tier 5" team's.
No doubt that regionals will bring the cream to the top. We all feel our home team can contend for state because we watch them every week and are proud of their accomplishments. After district everyone will have to be at the top of their game to advance. Good luck to your team and I hope to see you in Hot Springs!!!

Well said!
Clarendon, time for talk is over. All I have heard is how your the team to beat. Your season will end with an L.. You clarendon fans make me laugh.
And why do you continue to put epc in anything. The only way they can win anything is by playing in that jungle gym with their coach crying for calls. Trying to slow play like girls. This aint indiana and your not the Hoosiers. Play ball and stop crying. As for it being a "smart strategy ", so is sitting down to pee so you dont have to worry about leaving the seat up and the misses popping you in the head. Man up or stay home..yard dawg out
Yess we are earle we shouldn't have any problems with you guys in the district tourney go chs lions 23-2
Bohanon that much a baller on the hardwood? What happened to Earle?

Their winning percentage is actually better on the road (5-2) than at home (6-3).
