On the road again
The Arkansas Activities Association announced the sites for the upcoming basketball regional and state tournaments. I am not a happy fat man.
Our 2A regional tournament will once again be in hostile territory as Caddo Hills was awarded the event. Mt. Ida hosted the regional last year, giving teams from the other conference an obvious homecourt edge.
If teams from the 7A East want to get to state, they're going to have to be tough and not expect a lot of breaks. I'm not worried about Strong's girls but Parkers Chapel, in particular, will have to show a lot of determination and desire and prove it can fight through adversity.
The Lady Bulldogs have done this in the past. The jury is still out on the Lady Trojans.
Smackover will also have to win on the road if it wants to get to state. Centerpoint is, once again, the host of the 3A Region 4 Tournament. The Lady Bucks laid an egg in the first round of the regional last year. Like the Lady Trojans, they still have to prove they can overcome some bad breaks and just gut-out a win.
If we get some teams through the regional, Jessieville will host the 2A State Tournament (I like) and Cave City will host the 3A Tournament. As far as I'm concerned, Cave City might as well be Islamabad.
Cave City?

For all you Marandalynn Parker fans, Saturday might be a good chance to see the former Lady Bulldog playing at the college level. The price is certainly right.
The Ouachita Baptist University men’s and women’s basketball teams open Gulf South Conference action Saturday at Bill Vining Arena against Delta State.
Admission to both games is free with perishable items to be donated to the Arkadelphia Food Bank. Free popcorn will be available with a purchase of a drink.
“I feel like this is a good opportunity for Ouachita to engage with and give back to the community,” Tigers Director of Athletics David Sharp said.
The Ouachita Baptist women’s game tips-off at 3:00 p.m. against No. 2 Delta State, with the men’s contest to follow at 5:00 p.m.
