Girls NEA Top 20

Jonesboro got beat by West Memphis... Not a big loss though West Memphis is always tough.

I thought Pocahontas might beat Highland but not that bad...

Any other scores on the local teams...

WM showed JB how to play the game by beating them in every phase imaginable.

Poll is updated.

Manila is better than you think. The players are all Sophomores and Juniors, with only two Seniors who aren't starters, save for one who starts sometimes. The group of Sophomores and Juniors are the ones who won about four tournaments, either as the champs or runners-up when they comprised the junior high team a couple of years ago. Don't underestimate them. Also, factor in that they have a new coach this year, and it always causes a shift one way or the other. The new coach is working hard with them, and he believes in his team. GO LIONS!!!

just because they have good sophomores and juniors doesn't make the hole team good. And also just because they are good in junior high ball doesn't mean that they are good in senior high They are deffinetly not a top 20 team

When you post, "Updated", where is the updated rankings found?

9. Pocahontas (6)
10. Jonesboro (9)
11. Rector (10)
12. Valley View (13)

I am having trouble understanding how Pochontas is 9 and 4 spots ahead of Valley View when VV has beat Pokey twice, including a 13 point victory at Pokey ??

Probably started Valley View in low teens and it takes a while to rise up. I think the ADG still has Poca ahead as well. Thanks for the info.

Valley, Pocahontas, and Highland are all pretty even. Pocahontas has played awful both times they have played the blazers. Give the Blazers credit though. Valley views little freshman point guard eats Pocahontass press up , and for some reason they stay in it. nearsports/doh.gif

I am sorry, I thought this was a local poll, did not realize it was an ADG poll. But still how can any poll that ranks a team ahead of another team that has defeated them twice be considered a creditable poll??

Even as screwy as the BCS football system is, any time a teams beats another team twice in one season, the winning team gets ranked ahead of the 2 time loser. nearsports/doh.gif
