Vilonia 62 Mayflower 58

Valiant effort against 5A, I wouldn't worry if I was a Mayflower fan

[vtowneagles]

Vilonia has been bad past 2-3 years but this years team with a new coach should make playoffs in a TOUGH 5a west!!

[jr17]

OK so the statements I made about Mayflower making a state run... just forget that one if.they keep playing.this way... not living up to expectations

[yellowjackethooper]

How bad did Lonoke beat them?

[jr17]

By 10

[yellowjackethooper]

That's not bad. How is this conference doing so far? Haven't heard anything about Harmony Grove or Jessieville?

[jr17]

Last I checked harmony grove is undefeated... has episcopal played yet?

[Hogwild#9]

I told you that about a month and a half ago! Ha

[jr17]

Ha... guess ya got me on that one

[CoachKk]

ECS has not played yet. They will be hosting Jessieville Tuesday Night. Then Jammin for Jackets on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.

[neds]

ECS wins 58-32 over Jessieville in boys , girls was mercy rule by Jessieville over ECS.
ECS plays NLR @Hall on Thur. night

[yellowjackethooper]

What does Jville have this year? I heard they were down, but didn't think they would get beat that bad, especially it being ECS 1st game....

they are way down for sure. ECS was not that sharp, shot poorly. Could have been worse. Jville looked very young and green. Played hard and their coach was coaching hard. I'm sure they'll improve but won't contend this year.
ECS rusty, will have a long night Thursday vs NLR.

[CoachKk]

ECS needs to improve from the charity strike if they are going to contend in state this year.

ECS had a rough night shooting from the field, when ECS and Jville play again things could get out of hand fast. ECS needs to work out some kinks and play more like a team if they don't want to get blown off the court by NLR.

[jr17]

Sure ECS will shake off the rust here soon..

[neds]

Sure ECS will shake off the rust here soon..

True, first game(s) are always a work in progress. Good depth and lots of scoring potential this year.

[bigbuckb]

Benton Harmony Grove is 7-0. They are averaging 69 points per game and only giving up 28ppg. They brought back 4 starters from last year. A 6'9 soph Forward. They have a 6'10 Center who signed with Ark Tech along with Team mate 6'6 Power forward senior who also signed with Ark Tech. They have a 6'4 point guard who is a junior who has averaged 2 dunks per game. Their real first test will be tomorrow night against Mayflower.

Sure you want to win them all, but it's more important to be playing well in Feb/Mar.
That's been Osceola's recipe over the years.

Wow! Good showing by ECS!! Ready to see Mayflower BHG game tomorrow night

Playing teams like NLR proves they are the 3A favorite & can only help prepare them for postseason.

[WPWells]

That's solid!! I went in thinking NLR was head and shoulders above everyone. Awesome showing by ECS. Both ECS and Charleston have looked good this week

[CoachKk]

ECS must have put on some WD-40 to shake off that rust.

[neds]

Not surprisingly , credit the coach, they played smart. There were some lapses, had a 3 on 1 late in the game and blew an easy basket by not sharing. Otherwise it was ECS' game to win. Losing Martin w/2:50 to go in the game hurt them via late game turnovers, that was the difference in the game in my opinion.
They did shoot the ball much better last night vs their earlier game this week.
Kelvin Robinson (24 pts and did not play in post season LY) really played great. ECS coach isolated him in one on one match ups and he took advantage of NLR defender over and over.

Agree w/all of the above, win or lose this tournament makes a team better just due to the competitive level

[jr17]

Episcopal played arguably the greatest high school team in Arkansas history and took them to the final shot.. kinda scary thought for the rest of 3A

Mayflower plays BHG tonight... Mayflower has played some good competition to this point in lonoke and vilonia... can't imagine they've played anyone with the size of BHG.. gonna be interesting..

[neds]

Give us an update tonight jr. I will do same from the ECS game vs McClellan

I agree it was great showing by ECS, but to say NLR is the greates high school team in the state's history? You must have not seen the West Memphis Blue Devils of the Keith Lee, Michael Cage and Aaron Price era. That team would beat any division 1 team in the state including the Hogs!!!

How long is your memory?  It must only go back to last year.  Any of us who have been around for awhile could name a lot of teams better than nlr.  This is not intended to take anything away from ECS, obviously they played an outstanding game.

[neds]

Not my words, but jr's. That said, I think he may be refering to a post on the 7A board that was arguing or asking if NLR (this year) was one of the best teams in AR history.
In my opinion not even close. Very talented and very beatable, great individual talent on NLR

JR17, maybe you should have put the word "arguably" in bold type.  haha.

[neds]

McClellan wins over ECS 68-65, hits a three with under :10 to go for the win. Sloppy game all around. Looked like the bad side of AAU, not much sharing of the ball tonight for ECS. Looked like everyone was trying to create their own offense. Play again on Sat.

[jr17]

Lion and bobcats
Its a argument going on on the 7A board.. my bad... haven't even seen NLR just going from whats on 7A board

[CoachKk]

Update on BHG and Mayflower please.

[jr17]

27-29 BHG at half.. Mayflower was down 12-24 at one point. Had to adjust to BHG size..

[jr17]

Mayflower tops BHG... took them some time to adjust to the size but they got it done... Final: Mayflower 54 BHG 52

where was the game?

[jr17]

At mayflower

[bigbuckb]

Mayflower has great guards!! BHG was clearly the better team. Was up by 15 early but the refs once again controlled the game and allowed Mayflower back in the game and called 5 nonfouls against BHG big man and ATU commit benching him in the third. The same ref who has fouled him (Hayden Burchfield) in the only 3 games hes ever ref'd against. I don't know what his beef is with him, but it's horrible that he steals victories away from boys who are playing to win. In the 2 previous games BHG was up by 30 so they won anyway but Mayflower is a solid team. Look forward to playing them at home.
