Augusta over Rector 66-34.

[Pick_DA_EAGLES]

Augusta is supposed to be decent, they will most likely finish 2nd in the 6.

[Hogfan167]

Rector is a bottom feeder in 2A-3 this year but still an impressive win for Augusta.

[bdubyab60]

Augusta definetly has talent more than likely a regional team and state tourney team. Rector has one kid over 6 foot and no where near the athletes to contend with Augusta. This outcome is not surprising.

Any score on the EPC/Sloan game. I'm stuck at work

[Hogfan167]

EPC wins it 76-64. About a 20 point game  when reserves came in.

[bdubyab60]

Sounds like EPC played a little better. I was expecting a closer game.

[Pick_DA_EAGLES]

Yea, i wasn't basing my opinion of Augusta off the rector game. I had heard they were pretty good, not on clarendons level, but good.

[bdubyab60]

Not knocking on anyone's opinion Pick. Augusta has been as talented as any team, pretty much, the past couple of years. IMO they are a head coach away from being really good instead of just good.

I know you weren't bdub. If they make it to state, then the 6 will be represented by 2 teams.

[Hogfan167]

Boys upper: Rivercrest 46-36 over Highland

Augusta always plays us hard. They have the athletes but not the stamina to run n gun the whole game.

I agree with this.  They are one of the few local teams that I worry will slip up on us in any given game.  We've played them the last few years as non conference so we are familiar with them and never assume a win.  They will definitely be regional contenders and depending on their seeding into state will make it a couple rounds.

Don't forget Brinkley, they will be there somewhere.

[hssportfan]

There's something about the schools starting with the letter "B".

[Hogfan167]

For sure, there does seem to be a pattern there.

[Hogfan167]

From what I hear these days there is one more "B" that needs to be added.

[mtindian42]

why is tech and Paragould not playing in the nea? Jonesboro left because they could beat everyone in it by 30 if they wanted to. I get that, but I don't understand why tech and Gould or not in it...fact I thank in a one game scenario one of the lower schools could beat eather of those...just my opion...

[bdubyab60]

Walnut Ridge 36 Marmaduke 30 at the half

[bdubyab60]

WR 43 Marmaduke 42 3 minutes left in 3rd. 10-2 run from Paige gets it within 1

[bdubyab60]

15 or 17 straight from Paige has it 51 to 45 Marmaduke headed to the 4th. Hit a few 3's from inside the Wolfs head

[bdubyab60]

58 to 52 Duke under 2 to go. Think only 2 baskets for Marmaduke players other than Paige in second half

[bdubyab60]

60 to 57 WR at the line to complete 3 point play 17 seconds

[bdubyab60]

Marmaduke hangs on 62 to 59
