Big G...on that 2A-5 North...is that the new conference alignment for next year? I know Abundant Life and St. Joe were both in 3A but going down for next year and Conway Christian was becoming apart of AAA but I didn't know where they would be placed. Just gonna check and see if that was stone for next season. If it is I feel for Quitman and WCC.

The conference allignments reflected on our site are what they will be for the next two years beginning next season.

Wow, that is an almost all private school conference there. Thanks for the info!

Again, didn't understand the distinction between NEA and NEAR. Learned a few things here today Big G! Thanks! That could be why I didn't see HA as NE.

But, leave it to bearbait and carrmaduke to look for something to try and start an argument about.

Maybe you should go...you can stop and see bill taylor while you're there!

Even though I have teams playings at the MAYB tournament in Paragould, I feel I need to be in Fayetteville where my heart is Saturday. This doesn't happen very often. I've got coaches to fill in for me so I can be at the game. You know how much this means to me. Remember 1989 and 1990.

Have fun!

Wow, this little forum post went silent quick!

In all honesty, after watching every single game in the 3A regional in Searcy and then the State held there as well, Gurdon(sp?) and Bauxite could have possibly been the best 2 teams. Let me explain why.

Bauxite had the best 1-5 hitters I have seen all season long. Had Matt Lincoln not been on the mound the entire game for HA, Bauxite walks off with an easy win. However, it was the second round of regionals so they didn't have a chance to play again.
Gurdon's ace threw on back to back days because the coach didn't realize until after the first day just how good HA was. When their ace took the mound against HA on the second day, his arm was wasted. He was spanked for 4 runs in one inning and got no one out before being pulled. They went on to lose that game 6-4. Those 4 runs made a huge difference.

This goes to prove that you can not win State without the Luck factor on your side just a little.

VV looked good Sat, but lady Luck helped them out just a little as well. And by the way, I am sure that it wasn't his best game ever, but Burgi was blown up to be so unbelievable on here by folks. You talk about good, that 3rd baseman they got can flat out play some ball!!! He seemed hurt the whole game and kept getting tended to by coaches and trainers, but still hit what proved to be the go ahead RBIs in during late innings.
